Who donates a car that looks this nice to a salvage yard? I get when you have a car that doesn’t run/drive and an older owner…it’s gotta go…but this thing runs/drives and looks amazing for the age. I don’t like dealing with craigslist flakes or furrin scammers on the facemeltbook, but you could get a […]
I’ve got to wonder about people. I’m all about donating to charity — I do lots of it with old clothing and with cash money…but cars? Who donates a perfectly good running/driving Ford Ranchero to a charity? I get donating an old Mercury Sable or some old malaise mobile, but this thing is wicked — who could donate it to a salvage yard? I can only assume it is a grieving widow or an angry divorcee. Find this 1973 Ford Ranchero Squire bidding for $4000 in Orange, CA via ebay with a few hours to go.
I hate dealing with the weirdos who want to buy your used car as much as the next guy, but I can’t fathom a single situation that would warrant the donation of an icon car like the 57 Chevy that is in this good condition…so the fact that someone donated this car boggles my mind. […]
Who donates a Porsche Boxster? Ok, I guess I’d donate a Porsche Boxster if it had a busted headlight, thrashed interior, and a bad battery…wait…NO, NO I would not donate a car that just needs a battery. Get a new battery and turn this thing into a track car or something. Find this 1998 Porsche […]
Throughout the dead of winter, you diligently stashed away your pennies and dimes for an open-air sports car. Good on you. You have $6,000 saved, which would put you in just about the best NA Miata on the market, or an Alfa Spider but not quite Boxster territory – yet. Here, for your consideration, is a […]
Like us, You probably spend most of your working day looking for cars on the internet busting your hump for an unappreciative boss, so it’s only natural that you’ll occasionally find a car worth pursuing. You’ve read a million ebay, craigslist, Traderonline and Turbobricks ads which has given you a certain confidence. You now believe that you […]
One of the more interesting sellers on ebay is a company out of Orange County, CA that deals exclusively with donated cars. His/her username is “justdonated” and we’ve featured their cars before. You might think it is a bunch of busted old Civics and Oldsmobiles…which there are plenty of, but you’d be shocked at how […]
What do you do with a super cheap C5 Corvette convertible that needs an engine and transmission? Cummins 6BT swap? Put in a jet engine? It is obvious that this vehicle donated its engine/transmission to some old Ford hot rod, so maybe the right thing to do is to swap in a flathead Ford V8. […]
The Porsche 914 is one of those classics that doesn’t get nearly as much love as it deserves, but at the same time if you drive a beaten-up version you will come away feeling underwhelmed. It’s not the same as driving something like a beaten up version of an old American muscle car — those […]
For a budget of about $6k, you can get into all sorts of cars that you could daily drive, but most would be a few decades old with some wear ‘n’ tear. Not that it’s a bad thing, because I’ve daily driven everything from donated Porsche 928s to Saab 99s…but I’m really not that concerned […]
