Until very recently, the Pinto was simply scrap metal on wheels. It was
pilloried for its lack of build quality and its tendency to burst into
flames upon impact. In the insane collector car world, it is difficult
to determine if this car is gaining value in spite of these qualities or
because of them. Find this 1977 Ford Pinto here on eBay bidding for $6,801 in Parkersburg, IA with 2 days to go.
The Fiat X1/9 was not the first mid-engined sports car sold to the masses with low power and good handling, but it combined sharp angular styling (by Bertone) with a sub 2000 lb curb weight that made Porsche 914 owners green with jealousy. Find this 1980 Fiat X1/9 offered for $3,000 in Monson, MA via craigslist. Tip from Jim H.
With all the interesting cars for sale around the web, you don't have to be a millionaire to buy them, but you might need Jay Leno's garage space to store them -- particularly if you like inexpensive oddballs that may sit for a month or a year while you wait for a custom made part (or the other remaining model to end up on co-part). However, if your collection includes those of the two-wheeled variety, you might be able to have your cake and eat it too. And by cake, I mean one-off rotary powered unicorn. Find this 1976 Hercules Wankel W-2000 here on eBay bidding for $3,789 reserve-not-met with 5 days to go, located in Chicago, IL. Tip from Zach Z.

The original Datsun 510 Bluebird was sold in the US market from 1968 through 1973 on a well engineered compact unibody platform that used MacPherson strut suspension up from and semi-trailing arms out back. Power came from a SOHC 4-banger that was basically Nissan's 240Z engine with two cylinders lopped off, but today's 510 is powered by one of those spinning cam-less/piston-less freaks of nature from Mazda. Find this 1972 Datsun 510 with Mazda 13B offered for $12,000 in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

Today is the second day of the Octave of Easter -- the traditional 8 days of celebration at the beginning of Eastertide that begins on Easter Sunday and ends on the second Sunday of Easter known as Quasimodo Sunday. This next car is little gem of an egg colored beauty that just needs a few days (perhaps a little luck...and prayers) to be risen from the dead. Find this 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo offered for $2,250 obo located in Manassas, VA. Tip from FuelTruck.

The fourth generation Honda Civic is not a car that you find in good original condition very often -- it seems that most have been driven/smashed into the ground or pimped out by Mountain Dew chugging teenagers. Thankfully, a few have escaped the shopping cart dings and fart-can mufflers that roam the parking lots of American strip malls. Find this 1991 Honda Civic Si offered for $3,800 in Beaverton, OR via craigslist.
The Nissan President (日産・プレジデント Nissan Purejidento) was a JDM only luxury limousine built from 1965 through 2010 as an comfortable safe space for executives, diplomats and gangsters.

Find this 1991 Nissan President offered for $6,000 CAD ($4,521 USD today) in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
You know what the real problem is with the sport of golf? Aside from putting, because getting that little dimpled ball in the vicinity of the hole is fun, actually getting it into a hole the size of a super big gulp lid is seriously frustrating. So, aside from putting -- and defense...it would be such a good game if the other guy could have a small hockey goalie shaped putter for defense...aside from putting and defense -- the stock golf carts are way too slow. Ever try to run an electric golf cart through a sand trap -- instantly stuck. And forget about evading the police, a fat mall cop on a Segway will give you a run in a stock electric cart -- but not today, because some genius has just fixed golf. Find this 2006 Golf Cart with 500cc Polaris power offered for $5,000 (or a llama) located in Miami, FL via craigslist.
In 1960 American Motors Corp styling VP Edmund E Anderson directed reboot of the oddly named Rambler American (the Rambler name originating from AMC's acquisition of Nash which made a Rambler model, but AMC made Rambler a brand and added an American model name...) -- regardless, the Rambler was changed from the roly-poly bathtub style to the squared off breadbox style -- a moniker that is particularly apt when you look at the wagon version. Find this 1962 Rambler American Wagon with LSX V8 offered for $5,000 in South Hillsboro, OR via craigslist.
Coffee Brake: Automotive group events come in many different shapes/sizes, the smallest/easiest being the local Saturday morning Cars & Coffee event, but slightly larger and more organized events happen on Friday evenings and Saturdays throughout the sunny season(s). However, there are a few events that eclipse even the best local or regional car show -- events that should be on every gearhead's bucket list. In the USA, these events include the Woodward Dream Cruise in Metro Detroit and the fantastic Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca, but...I have to tell you, there is somewhere better, an event that is so awesome, it only happens once every two years and folks travel from thousands of miles to attend -- it is the LeMans Classic. (This year's event is 8-9-10 July, 2016).

As the dust settled from World War II, the guys at Ford started selling Mercury badged trucks in Canada (to take advantage of the large Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer network), but today's Mercury pickup started life as a 1950 Mercury Eight sedan that has been El Camino'd, chopped, widened, slapped on a different chassis and customized.
