Wasabi & Schnitzel: A Subaru Powered Bug (Craigslist-PHX)
The VW Beetle is a cult classic that never had a chance to become a valuable collection piece. A cute round eyed headlight smile married to the chirpy rattle of the aircooled boxer made it a popular economy car during its day. Cute and lovable, much like Gizmo from the 1980s classic film Gremlins. Adding…
Build Your Own Porsche 962, Some Assembly Required (Craigslist-Boulder)
According to ad, this Porsche begins life cribbing Lola chassis bits out of square tubing. I’m not sure how cribbing Lola Can-Am bits makes this into an 80s Porsche Icon. It’s both neat and disheartening that this is powered by a Chevrolet 302, presumably a DZ 302 from an OG Z/28. Best not to presume…
Street Drifter: Turbo E36 M3 (Craigslist-Boulder)
650 wheel horsepower in the capable E36 chassis might wake you up from whatever zone you’re in, right now. The S50 always sounds great with a turbo. JE forged pistons, Eagle H beam rods, ARP studs seem almost over kill for a Garrett GT40r running enough to make 650whp. (which the seller indicated is leaking)…
Italian Looks, Detroit Reliability- Bizzarrini P538 Body (Craigslist-LA)
This is almost an evolution of the work of Ferrari. Bizzarrini started as a test driver for the commandatore, Enzo. He later became a design engineer. I am unsure of the circumstances regarding his departure from Ferrari but I’m sure it’s entertaining. You get the curvy Italian beauty coupled to a Chevy 327 or Lamborghini…
When Life Gives You LeMons: Miata (Craigslist-Boulder)
It looks like a cheap start in wheel to wheel racing might be answered by this 1991 Mazda Miata. Has a BP 1.8L swap running a Garrett GT3071r turbo at 8 psi. The seller has quite a grocery list of spares; if you’re willing to pay the price. The list of chassis & safety equipment…
Budget 911: 2001 Porsche 911 Cab Roller (Craigslist-LA)
It looks like 996s might never get any cheaper than a Cabriolet roller. You’re only an eBay binge away from hording the makings of a GT3 cup track day beast. Houred out GT3 cup takeoff components are readily available on eBay, racing junk and PCA classifieds. Here is the original ad: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pts/d/riverside-2001-porsche-996-cabrolling/7145212651.html
Wagon Life: 1956 Chevy Nomad (Craigslist-Little Rock)
Not much in the ad. Obviously needs an engine, likely the rest of the drivetrain as well. Here is the Craigslist link: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/pts/d/littlerock-1956-chevrolet-nomad-project/7147324649.html
Blister Free M3: BMW S52 Swapped 1991 E30 325i (Craigslist LA)
Seller wants a premium for this at $16k but the swap was professionally done at Castro Motorsports and the wiring harness is uncut. The brakes & chassis appear sorted. Wilwood 6 piston brakes, Ground Control coilovers, Z3 oem steering rack and Ireland Engineering sway bars round out the handling. Engine is upgraded with a 3.5”…
Win Radwood: 1994 Audi Ur S4 97k miles (Craigslist-FoCo)
Group B rally fans know it, Audiphiles know it and the rest of the internet knows wild inline five beast that lurks in the heart of the original, the Ur S4. When uncorked, it sounds reminiscent of a Lamborghini gargling a sewing machine with a boiling teapot in the background. Sighting these turbo Quattros from…
Built Turbo Fox Body Mustang (Craigslist)
Looks like someone is tired of their 9 second Fox Body Mustang. The parts list is longer than most celebrity speeches. Fortunately, the parts tick the right boxes. It appears to sport a built small Windsor Ford smallblock. It’s been stroked to 331 cubic inches from 302. Scat forged rotating internals mate to Diamond Racing…
