Metalflake Blue Turbo Corvair Powered 1968 Dune Buggy is its Own Witty Title
/

comments
We love oddly and/or heavily modified vehicles, but some level of period appropriatness is important. Nineteen inch wheels on a ’58 Pontiac? No. Turbo Corvair Spyder motor in a metalflake, fiberglass, super-groovy 1968 VW-based dune buggy? Yes. This particular example comes to us from Cars4Causes via eBay, who unloads various “Donate your junk car/boat/plane for…

The last time you were sliding into a corner, searching for that apex, in your rally-bred Subaru WRX STI, did this go through your mind- Man, I wish I could be getting a tan right now?

Wagon Wednesday was created here on Hooniverse to expose all of you to some exquisite wagons you may have forgotten about, or a certain project car hell wagon you may want to take home with you, or a historic wagon you never really knew about. Well, throw that all out the window, because I bring…

Build Your Own Gremlin!

comments
This little advertisement was used to encourage people to purchase the 1972 Gremlin, perhaps on the premise that once they’d put that much effort into building one, they might as well go and purchase the slightly-bigger version. It didn’t really work. But there is still a silver lining! Because now you can make your very…

Lone Star Pulsar NX for $1850

comments
When the original Pulsar NX came out in 1983, I immediately fell in love with it’s slab-sided, sharp-cornered gawkiness. Then I read the car rag reviews of it. I believe it was Road & Track that summed up the 1983-86 Pulsar NX as “proof that you can build a thoroughly mediocre car and people will…

Tell Me Mr "islasaero", What Good is a Built 318 if You are Unable to Breathe?

Apologies to Hugo Weaving on that one. Anyway, here we have yet another combo of decent mechanical skills and questionable taste/judgement. Just…why? There’s no reason for this. This ebay seller’s taken what would’ve otherwise been a great mildly build ’64 Valiant, a car with no major styling defects, and approximated the whole front end as…

Honda’s California City Test Track For Sale, Commence Scheming!

Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohmanohman this is big. Certainly literally the physically largest and likely the most expensive thing we’ve ever featured, at least until the whole state of Rhode Island comes up for sale. Located just north of the failed master planned community and Hooniverse playground, California City, is Honda’s huge vehicle testing facility. The property features a…

Team Police Brutality T-Bird Hits Craigslist, Dubious Value Propositions Ensue

comments
The ’63 Ford Thunderbird wasn’t exactly known for its deftness as a sporting car. Boulevardier is the best term we’ve heard for it. Of course, some number of decades in a shed (that then collapsed) can change a car’s character. In the case of this T-Bird, it’s become a track monster with a reputation for…

I’m a lucky man. I’m lucky to have a great little family (Junior’s 6 months as of yesterday!) and the opportunities to play the way I do. But most of all, I’m lucky this car’s in the opposite corner of the country. If it weren’t I’d be picking it up on my way home from…
