I’ve mentioned the phenomenon of the carbage collector before…but I’ll give a refresh for the new kids in the class. If you’ve ever wondered why certain cars seem to collect on your neighbors lawn like they are in a captive breeding program, it’s because of the market dynamics for when parts availability is sketchy, used […]
This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncewell who writes: Holy hell, you’d have to be mad (and an eccentric engineer named Nels Nelsveronsen) to buy all of these headaches. I’m neither, but so damn tempting. Find this…errr..these Saab 95s and Sonetts offered as a package deal for $5000 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist. […]
What is better than a classic Renault offered at an estate/garage/junk sale? How about a collection of 20 of them offered for who knows how much money. Find this collection of Renaults offered for an undisclosed sum of money in Monticello along with a 1980 Archer T5 replica for $12,500 via craigslist. Tip from Munky. […]

Collecting orphan oddball cars usually starts with honest intentions. Perhaps someone gives you a neglected classic and you mean to restore it and sell…but then you get 2 or 3 more…and the next thing you know is that you are the neighborhood cat lady for neglected French cars. Find this Collection of French cars offered […]
Tipper FuelTruck hit our inbox with a collection of custom vans that was so totally outrageous that I just had to publish the entire batch for your enjoyment.

DT tipper Zach sent in a fabulous collection of cars from his local Bellingham, WA craigslist, where apparently the 1990s did not exist…or Bellingham is still stuck in the ’80s.
