The seller of this next vehicle really knows what he/she is doing and takes some nice photos of a baby blue Benz highlighted against the blue sky...but I really don't care because I owned one of these years ago and I really want this one! Find this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 240D offered for $6,500 in Noblesville, IN via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The Toyota Sera was a Japanese market only 2+2 built on the compact Paseo platform from 1990-1996, which would be an otherwise completely forgettable front-drive penalty box except for its gullwing doors and JDM exclusivity. With the doors closed and your econobox blinders on you'd probably drive or walk right past a Toyota Sera -- it does look like a Paseo or Tercel from the early 1990s. But the minute you pop those doors and show off that right hand drive, you'll have JDM fans boys all over you like you are offering free vape pens. Find this 1990 Toyota Sera offered for $13,000 in New Port Richey, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
Global sales of BMW's first 3-series started in the 1975 model year and by the time they switched factory operations to build the E30 version in 1983, over a million examples of the E21 had left the shipping dock. The E21 was not a cheap car when released, but the magic of depreciation made it an affordable classic for decades...and the uptick of collector nostalgia hasn't yet made them unaffordable. Find this 1978 BMW 320i offered for $2950 in Bethesda, MD via craigslist.
I love weird stuff. Really. Bizarrods, Citroëns, and rare French cars really get me going in the morning..but NOTHING beats a good homage to the Stars...not celebrities, but Star Trek or Star Wars. And this next one is a dooooozy. Find this 1984 Jeep DJ5 Star Destroyer offered for $1000 in Houston, TX via craigslist. Tip from Jeff.
Mustang lovers around the globe bemoan the launch of the 1974 Mustang II, but those pony car lovers did not have it nearly as bad as the Dodge Charger enthusiasts who've had to wait DECADES for the Charger to return to its old glory of rear-wheel-drive-ed-ness...because there was an era of darkness when the Charger went all "Thunderbird" and finally turned into a front-drive ecobox. Today's next feature comes from the time right after Richard Petty's success with the Charger, but right after it became a Cordobesq monster. Find this 1976 Dodge Charger offered for $2150 in Spokane, WA via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.
There is something about craigslist that brings out the inner oddball in people -- particularly when dealing with items they will barter for a car. Bitcoins, other cars, houses, children, wives -- nothing seems to be off the table, and today we found an entire new category for potential trade -- paving. Find this 1981 Volkswagen Vokaro Kit Car offered for $6500 or trade for driveway offered in North Sarasota...errr...not sure what state that is located in but it looks pretty and lots of small lakes...Michigan? via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
If a J-body Dodge Cordoba with fine Corinthian leather seating was not luxurious enough for you, Lee Iacocca resurrected the top dog Chrysler Imperial flagship for a short run from 1981-83. The Imperial had controversial razor edge slantback styling that was as bizarre then as it is now. Iacocca pal Frank Sinatra lent his name to a special edition though the chairman of the board was supposedly none too happy when his personal car stalled out in public likely due to the finicky fuel injection. Find this 1983 Chrysler Imperial for sale in Hernando, FL for $5,500 via craigslist. Tip from Fuel Truck.
Alfa Romeo 116 series four cylinder car values have languished for a long, long time. Rust, notchy gear boxes, and tepid performance have sent many potential Alfa buyers over to the later GTV6 models as they generally are a more fun and compelling car to own. Today's feature car turns that notion on its head with it's tidy condition, being a rare model, awesome alloy wheels, mint interior (with the good dash layout), and later model twin spark engine swap. The euro twin spark four cylinder engine at 146hp is good for almost 50% more power than the stock spica injected engine and should make this car hustle in modern traffic. Find this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV for sale in Stonington, CT for $15,000 via craigslist. 
Mustang snobs tend to gravitate towards the early 1964-65-66 or 1967-68 Fastback versions for various reasons that escape me at the moment (but are probably rarity, exclusivity, coolness, in that order) but random yokels on the street know one thing about a classic 60s Mustang. The 69 Mach 1 was the coolest. Find this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 offered for $20,000 in Jacksonville, FL via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The euro inspired Merkur XR4ti was similar to the SVO Mustang in size and purpose. Both cars shared the 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder Lima engine which was a capable performer in its day. However, today's feature track car ditched it's 2.3 engine for a 4.6 supercharged V8 from a 2003 Mustang Terminator which was the Hellcat of it's day at 390hp. Seeing that going fast and having a competitive car costs real money, buying a proven car that needs a bit of TLC could potentially save the buyer a lot of coin. Find this 1985 Merkur XR4ti for sale in Newtown, CT for $9,000 via craigslist. 
The 1995-99 Nissan Maxima were the last cleanly styled generation of Maxima. The cars that followed this generation were more powerful, but were noticeably uglier cars. The Maxima started the tag line "four door sports car" in the early 1990's. Today's bright red feature is the sport model SE, but has bonus of a turbo kit and supporting mods added to the decent 190 hp 3.0 V6 engine. The usual hotrod move is to swap in a later 3.5 engine into these cars. Find this 1999 Nissan Maxima for sale in Houston, TX for $6,000 via craigslist. Tip from JG 750.
If I mentioned 5 speed manual equipped coupes from the 1970's, brands like Alfa Romeo, Lotus, or BMW would first come to mind. Imagine my surprise when finding this factory 5 speed Cutlass S. You could, but not many did option out the small 260 ci Olds V8 with a 5 speed manual on all models except for the Supreme and wagon. The 260 was a reaction to the 70's fuel crisis and shared the same stroke as the larger Olds 350. The Borg Warner sourced 5 speed could likely be paired up with the larger 350, but am not sure how robust they were. These Colonnade models ended in 1977 and gave way to the even smaller G-body coupes. Find this 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass S for sale in Lexington, MA for $6,900 via craigslist.
DT readers who live in parts of the country that do not use road salt in the winter will breathe a sigh of relief after reading this piece. Parts cars are a great resource for keeping other cars on the road if you actually get around to using them that way. Today's pair of Jags is what happens when you double down on a problem and then do not get around to actually fixing anything. Two needy supercharged XJR's for cheap is a tough sell logistically for most any buyer- two trips for pick up, two parking spaces, double the issues to address, etc. Find these 1999 and 2000 Jaguar XJR's for sale in Rowley, MA for $2,000 via craigslist. 
Most of the cars built with Volkswagen Beetle pans as backbone have considerably compromised styling due to various constraints but a few have escaped the blight of the”ugly kit car” style department (TM) and emerged from the custom fiberglass body shop with something that you might want to be seen with. Find this 1969 Kelmark GT offered for $10,000 in Miami, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
It's Thorsday folks and we have quite the Swede for you today. The dollars per level of crazy is off the charts on this one. This Volvo 240 build is sort of a more discreet budget version of this Corbin Goodwin bonkers Rolls Royce. Many brick Volvo's feature American V8 swaps swapped into their huge engine bay. The 240's did come with a factory turbo 4 cyl engine option in the mid 80's and later turbo redblock turbo engines from the 940 are commonly swapped into later NA 240's. With all that said, today's seller took the path less traveled by has fabbing up a insane home brew rear mount turbo (see pics below) set up in the trunk with little regard for passengers foot space, any attempt at hiding the set up, and trunk cargo capacity. Find this 1989 Volvo 240 for sale in Tucson, AZ for $2,000 via craigslist. Tip from Lynn.
Another week, another Fiero...But wait, this is not your ordinary Fiero! This one has a lot going for it: 88 suspension redesign, 32v Northstar V8 engine swap and it is a real Mera conversion which was actually sold through Pontiac dealers. With the escalating prices of 308 Ferrari's this 300hp Mera presents a valid counterpoint for those with more modest means. In terms of body kitted Fiero's, the Mera is at the top of the food chain. Find this 1988 Pontiac Fiero for sale in Virginia Beach, VA for $13,840 via craigslist. Tip from Fuel Truck.
Tipper Jon seems to have a bad case of Cadillac fever. In between internet searches he writes us: imagine the security of floating down the highway at triple digit speeds, secure in the knowledge that very few other vehicles could present a threat to your safety, ensconced as you are in a 1967 Eldorado, seated behind yards of Detroit steel. In fact, it is arguable that you might not notice a collision with anything smaller than a Taurus. If this is your idea of motoring (and you have family in the gasoline & oil business), check out this handsomely preserved example of the some of 1967's finest American iron. But I strongly suggest you measure your garage before you buy. Find this 1967 Cadillac Eldorado for sale in Harlingen, TX for $10,000 via craigslist.
