Behold, Fiends. I’ve been flirting with that certain flavor of insanity known as European roadster ownership for a good while now, and the result is what you see above. The keen-eyed among you will recognize this ugly mug from the Fool’s Gold post awhile back. It’s a 1969 Triumph Spitfire, rocking a 1.3-liter four-cylinder with [...]
Looking for a Swedish-built, Italian-designed long roof to add to your collection? Look no further. According to the ad, this sucker is a two-owner garage-kept gem originally ordered by a University of Tennessee professor (hence the go-Vols paint). The original 2.0-liter four-pot is still in place, as is the original slush box. Figures tend to [...]
Looking for a little eighth-mile domination? Look no further than this barely-rusted 1974 Pinto Wagon. For a mere $1,000 you get a clear title, a Ford 9-inch rear and Mustang II V8 engine mounts for easy 302 installation. Hell, the seller’s even throwing in a number of driveshafts and a transmission or two to make [...]
This may be the most unfoolish fool’s gold we’ve come across at Autofiends. It’s a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with 7,600 miles, and it can be yours for a mere $32,000. The previous owner has installed a few tasteful modifications, including a Borla exhaust and an eliminator for that pesky first-to-fourth shift. Evidently, the car [...]
That’s no typo, Fiends. I said “racer” for a reason. Bring a Trailer managed to stumble across this insane Citroen 2CV set up for enduro duty on eBayMotors. As in, race for 24 hours enduro duty. If your eyeballs aren’t widening quite yet, take the time to peruse the photos to soak up the joy [...]
Given the word Pontiac’s headed for the dumpster, odds are slick rides like this SLP Firehawk just might be worth hanging onto for a few years. This ’95 was one of just 1,000 built that year, and the six-speed manual/black exterior combo makes it even harder to find. With a stout 315 horse LT1 under [...]
If that wicked 356 is a little too rich for your blood, we’ve got another German two-door for you. Rummaging around on Craigslist, I stumbled across a 1987 Audi Coupe GT. According to the ad, this one’s a “Special Build” – probably because it’s got the larger 2.3-liter five-cylinder and beige velour interior instead of [...]
Behold: The OG Honda Prelude in its original metallic brown. Does this little guy pull at your heart strings, or what? At a hair under $1,000 and running like a top, this sucker’s a steal. The 72 horse 1.7-liter I4 has just over 200k miles on the clock, so you’re guaranteed at least another 50k [...]
This one just might take the cake as the best Fools Gold we’ve come across so far. It’s a total of five Minis and a Morris Mini truck ranging from 1959 to 1966 – all of which spent the majority of their days in sunny Southern Texas. That means minimal cancer, which is temptation enough [...]
There are bucket-loads of uber Vee Dubs cropping up across the interwebs right now, but few of them will hit you for less than $20k. That’s right. You can have a full 12 acres of leg room front and rear, a bottomless void of trunk space doors that shut themselves and more maintenance nightmares than [...]
