Interesting cars for sale on the internet
« on: March 07, 2016, 10:21:50 AM »
Have you come across a fantastic/interesting/awful car for sale somewhere on there internet and want to share? Here is the spot!

Let me start it off with some interesting local stuff



http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/grande-prairie/triumph-car-for-parts/1145623109?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Here is a super rare one. Fwd Triumph 1300 I believe. It is beat up really bad so a parts car but sadly I suspect no one will want/need parts.



A Mercedes hot rod? This look miles better with a different set of rims

Lada Niva convertible. Sold in Canada. I believe these were converted somewhere in Europe not Halifax, Canada like the pickup.

The Frontenac is my favorite. Needs only mild mowing to be roadworthy, no doubt!

I have a soft spot for repurposed service vehicles. This former ambulance is now a rolling fallout shelter, if the front bumper is to be believed:

I'm liking that repurposed ambulance as well.  But a Lada convertible has got to be the pinnacle of commie cool.

I will take the Mercedes Benz only to save it from its destiny.
I know it's a matter of taste but ...why?

Stop the presses! For $4,900*, you can have a supercharged V8 German Luxury sedan!

Don't read the fine print, just buy it!

*A savvy negotiator may even be able to get them to throw in some of the shipping pallets shown in the background

Fine print:
Salvage title
168,000 miles
doesn't actually currently run
"When key is inserted, all the dash lights come on, but it will not start.  There are a few wires disconnected under the engine bay fuse box."

Lightweight V12 Jaguar!



What, that doesn't look like a lightweight to you?

The engine and front suspension actually look clean and complete, except for the parts that are missing.

Potentially a fun project or a never-ending devourer of weekends. Your call.

There's that word again: "heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?  ;)

That's a crazy kind of beautiful. I'd be inclined to dress in period attire, hop out into crowds and ask what year it is, and then exclaim "2016?! By god it WORKED!"

These car pictures are funny and do not even look fit for sale. I live in Asia. The Tata vehicles for sale in Sri Lanka are Tata Bolt,Zest,Indigo ECS and more; which are brand new cars. Tata cars with best engines are very high on performance with great fuel efficiency.

 I think every country has car enthusiasts who like old or unusual cars. Some people like the task of restoring an old car, or owning one which is different from anything else on the road. Personally I can't be bothered any more with getting dirty hands or injuring myself lying on a cold garage floor. I like a car which starts every time, and I know will not break down when I'm miles from home - not everyone is like that.

That's what makes the world an interesting place.
