This next car comes from the time right after World War II, when automakers took their old pre-war designs out of mothballs and restarted manufacturing consumer products. The New Yorker was a giant rumbling piece of steel that was powered by a 323 cubic inch straight-8 and today’s example is offered for a great price […]
This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncwell who writes: So here I am looking through a local auction house for some odds and ends to add to the shop and…what in the hell is this? I have no idea what anyone would do with this other than see just how many people […]
It was recently announced that Chrysler (technically Fiat-Chrysler-Automobiles) merged with Peugeot S.A. (which is Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall…) and became yet another global conglomerate with the baffling (and vaguely aquatic sounding) name Stellantis. Uggg. The irony is that Plato’s city of Atlantis was a fictional city that was consumed by the ocean after an unsuccessful attack on ancient Athens…a victim of it’s own hubris. Perhaps, there will be a time in the not-so-distant future when people talk about a car brand called Chrysler who built amazing cars back in the 20th century…but it is only a myth. Find this 1965 Chrysler New Yorker offered for $4995 in Santa Rosa, CA via craigslist.
If you surf craigslist on a regular basis, you’ve probably seen everything. People claiming all kinds of stuff that clearly isn’t true (this is one of one) and then random threats director at strangers (if nobody buys it, I’m going to polish the headlights and then double the price)…but this next advert has something I’ve […]
Being born and raised in the craigslist city where this car is listed, it’s completely unfathomable to me that this thing hasn’t been demo derbied yet. You see, the Newport and New Yorker were extremely close to the universally outlawed Imperial, however, they retained legality in nearly all derby championships. Find this alternative to the almighty […]
In all my years of surfing craigslist for used cars, I can’t say I’ve ever seen a car described as “1-owner Missouri” before today. Sure, we’ve all seen cars described as California owned, or an Arizona car…but Missour-ee? Is the starting point of the Oregon Trail really a good place to keep a car? Or […]
When you need a car and have less than $500 to spend, you are going to end up scraping the bottom of the barrel — but you will find some craigslist gold in the crusty stuff lurking down there. Just be sure to have your trailer at the ready and be sure to look for […]
It’s Friday the 13th, so time for something scary. This next car is going to curl the hairs on your neck/back– and not just because it is parked outside of “Terrible Tom’s Head Cheese & Pork Sausage” but because it appears to be straight out of an episode of the Twilight Zone. Find this 1991 […]
Big city life is horrible. First, you are forced to live in tiny apartments only affordable because of draconian rent control rules that mean your neighbors pay 75 cents a month to live and the slumlord owners won’t fix the hot water heater because he just replaced it in the 70s. If living like a […]
