This next car is a seller submission from Mason who writes: Unfortunately it is time to sell my car. My wife got a job in another country to I'm trying to get rid of stuff as we prepare to move.

This next car comes from tipper Art C who writes: This looks like a hoot for shortish money. If the motor is a well built 383 with a real 500hp its worth a few grand on its own. Plus, its got a six peed! Find this 1985 Chevrolet Corvette offered for $6497 near Leominster, MA via craigslist.
Are you a fan of the utility of El Camino style 4-door car-based pickup trucks? What about 5-speed equipped, turbo, all-wheel-drive versions? Down under they call them utes, but up here in right-side-up world we call them uticorns because they are all but non-existent -- and if it wasn't for a little Japanese company called Subaru, we wouldn't have them at all. Find this 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo offered for $9,500 in Pittsburgh, PA via craigslist. Tip from Jeff.
The E46 generation BMW 3-series was not that much different from the previous generation (E36) but it did take the same basic formula and just up the goodness factor. More power, more refined ride, and a better interior are only some of the benefits of the E46 generation, but one of the biggest changes was that BMW decided to export the wagon version into the US market. Find this 2002 BMW 325ix Touring here on eBay offered for $3125 buy-it-now located in Seattle, WA. Tip from Rod S.
There is an old saying in the car collector community: there's nothing more expensive than a cheap car. This is probably because the cost of restoration is usually never recuperated later on, unless you ride some wave of ridiculous price appreciation (thanks hipsters!) -- but making money isn't why most of us restore cars -- we do it for the love of the wrench. So, go ahead and get your next project car -- the heads are off and the entry price is cheap. Find this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette offered for $999 in Orlando, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

What does it cost to get into something "unique" these days? I'll tell ya -- you won't turn any heads with another late model Moostang or a '57 Chebby at a car show these days and most classics are so overpriced that you need to get into something funky to find a good price-to-value ratio. So dig deep, dig into the history of the automobile..and get something pre-war, like this 1937 BSA Scout offered for $18000 in Ft Myers, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.
DT E-i-C Vince: Sorry that DT postings have been a bit light for the past few days -- first, I was travelling for work in Dubai the other week (lots of interesting cars over there, but mostly newer stuff) and now I'm on vacation on a cruise ship in Alaska...so internet access isn't exactly great. However, I did notice that most of the cars in Alaska seem to be either rusting or preparing to rust (winter is a nasty beast up here), so it was interesting to see a car in Alaska from the mid 80s that hadn't yet succumbed to the tin worm. Find this 1985 Merkur XR4Ti offered for $1300 located in Anchorage, AK via craigslist. Tip from Zach.
The Ford Ranchero was Ford's version of the El Camino -- and it offered a decent combination of car driving capability with the utility of a pickup. Some scoff at the awkward proportions, but we think it is rad. Find this 1961 Ford Ranchero offered for $6850 in San Francisco, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Aston Martin is a small boutique British car builder who only built a handful of fast vehicles for the 1%...at least until 1994 when they released the Jaguar inline-6 powered DB7. At $140k USD it still was an expensive car, but Aston sold a remarkable 7,000 examples and depreciation has worked its magic so that you can afford one today for about the price of a nicely equipped new Civic. Find this 1997 Aston Martin DB7 3.2 here on eBay offered for $26,998 buy-it-now located in Lauderdale Lakes, FL.

The Buick Riviera appeared on the automotive landscape in 1963 as a personal luxury coupe on the E-body platform (later shared with the Eldorado and Toronado), but in rear-drive only configuration. A few decades later the turbocharged version of the Riviera shared its V6 with Buick's Regal cousin (and the LeSabre had a turbo V6 version too), but the Grand National has a cult following and culty prices to boot. In the Riviera you can get the 185 horsepower 3.8 V6 and not pay a big premium. Find this 1984 Buick Riviera T-Type offered for $5500 in Cape Coral, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu. 
The Porsche 911 is an iconic classic imbued with a finely tuned suspension, classically understated good looks and raucous sounding rear mounted flat-6 engines - a combination that is seldom imitated. The 996 was a 911 that was faster, more comfortable, and better than the previous generation, but of course the purists and naysayers complained about the changes to watercooling...etc etc. Ironically, for the first time in Porsche history, they were correct...perhaps. Find this 1999 Porsche 911 996 offered for $14500 in Redwood City, CA via craigslist. Tip from Fuel Truck.
When the Ford Pinto was first released for the 1971 model year, it was supposed to be a light weight import fighter, but a lack of power and a design flaw in the fuel tank relegated the little mini-pony to the back of the history books. But today's example isn't your grandma's Pinto. Find this 1972 Ford Pinto offered for $8000 in Dallas, TX via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
I'm not sure if you could describe anything powered by an original Volkswagen flat-4 as "like a race car" ...but if add enough displacement, compression, and fuel into VW pancake, you MIGHT get something that'll sound like a race car backwards or forwards. But does it really matter when the car looks this good standing still? Find this 1976 Invader GT offered for $5750 in Milwaukee, WI via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The S14 generation Nissan Silvia was badged in North America as the Nissan 240SX and is a favorite among drifters. Drifter? Not the sketchy train surfing murderer kinda drifter, but the drives with gobs full over oversteer style drifter. The US version was powered by a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder that only produced 155 horsepower...which is fine for drifting if you are Keiichi Tsuchiya, but normal people will need more zoom zoom to get sideways...so you'll want a Silvia with an LS1 V8 like this 1995 Nissan 240SX S14 Silvia offered for $12,500 in Gray, GA via craigslist. Tip from Jeff.
