Does anyone else think the guy in the Maybach actually looks uncomfortable, like that's an awkward angle to be at?

Great find on the Pinto btw!

And the current bid is $1500?
Duuuude!!!!

That's a Dodge Shadow turbo! When modded those are no joke if you consider the era of which it was made!

In fact I got the engine specs on the shadow:


The Shadow and Sundance offered a variety of four cylinder engines, all either of 2.2 or 2.5 L, some turbocharged. Naturally aspirated versions were, except in Mexico, fuel injected. The engines were tuned for torque rather than horsepower, resulting in numbers that appear to be reversed from the Honda Civic - for example, 93 hp (69 kW) and 122 lb

Ford Tempo DIESEL - I didn't even know Ford made diesel Tempos....

This car will only appreciate in value as fuel prices escalate.
$530... it certainly can't depreciate much now can it?

I think this one wins so far

Just a sample from the Q & A:

Q: Is there a lot of air coming in on the passenger side? does it leak in the rain? Will the passenger door open? Im just looking for a work car to drive...

A: YES AIR AND RAIN DO COME IN. I HAVE HAD A TARP ON IT. IT COULD MAYBE OPEN AGAIN WITH SOME WORK. DUCT TAPE WOULD BE YOUR FRIEND LOL! THANKS FORREST

Too funny!

For SUV fans - a Bronco Half Cab- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-Ford-Bro...tem140206857914



The bad: floors, tailgate, driver's door and front fender, kick panels.

The good: appears to be original and unmolested.
$300
