    OPP- you know the drill; other people’s property. You’re supposed to respect the ownership of others- you don’t toss the dog’s business over the fence and onto your neighbor’s patio unless he had it coming, you don’t eat off of a neighbor’s plate at the Olive Garden.

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ksowZ3AvCo[/youtube] While the Iron Curtain kept many bourgeois capitalist warmongering influences out, the Zaporozhets ZAZ-96X permeated that barrier via the NSU Prinz, which in turn looked across the Atlantic for some inspiration via the Corvair. Fast forward several decades, add some globalization, and sprinkle in a little “Pimp My Ride” flavor, and you’ll end up…

    Whether Pinto or Pantera, Daihatsu or, as in this case, Duesenberg, it doesn’t make any difference how much power you have, if your transmission isn’t up to the task.

    comments

    You’re looking at a 1969 Bedford CA Dormobile Camper Van. It’s got 4 berths and a 1.6L engine that likely makes all of 50hp. Cute as a button, slow as hell. Drive it fast, if you dare. Source: Bonhams, via Dinosaurs and Robots (which you ought to be reading already)

    This Craigslist ad for a 1978 Datsun Z-car seems pretty straight forward, aside from some chuckle-worthy spell-check errors- leather sits, neck turner, etc. But when buying anything, it’s always a good idea to read the fine print before taking the plunge.
