A little more digging on the Indy craigslist yields some FAR more diabolical ideas. Cream puff Cadillacs that leave $1000 in the budget for some huge wide slicks and nitrous, couple decent donor honduhs, V6 5-speed Isuzu trucks for $700, cherry AW11 MR2s that you could buy, arrive, and drive, etc etc etc...
Oh yeah... and the awd turbo DSMs for $1500 or under.
Woody's 323 Turbo and RogerB's GSX are both ringers....
"Fisty." Yeah, "Fisty" is selling his '48 Dodge, and he sounds like a hoot in his ad., so one of you berkeleyers should buy it and torch "Satan built my lead sled" on the trunk before he kicks your ass. $400

Here in Cleveland, there is not much. 1995 Ford Taurus SHO for $1500 - I have never been a fan of them.

This is a sportier collectors version of the normal taurus. White exterior, has 180K. Runs great. Just had a tune up and oil change. Will probably need a new starter in a few months from now (the starter in the car is not brand new, it's from a junkyard, but works fine). ALSO, there is a small hole in the back of the muffler, does not effect drivability at all, just makes it a bit louder than normal (not overbearing, just not as quiet as a brand new taurus would be). Has all brand new brakes. 1500 or trade.
If you go off of the front page, there is this -
1995 Saab 900 turbo - runs good,150,000 miles 2 door hatchback sunroof ,stick shift new clutch new tires,body fair condition,,,car has been sitting ...needs new clutch linkage and brakes.new clutch installed then the linkage broke and i parked it..car will need towed...come and look and make me a offer......
can i change my vote?

I would like to submit my own ad. No one emailed me about the car, too many people emailed me to say the ad was hilarious. maybe a little PG-13 for the langauge. I did end up selling the car last week to a friend who drove it out east 1600 km to NS without missing a beat. Including the alternator he was stll under $300 for the car.

1988 Xr4ti, t5 swap, 3" exhaust, lots of spare parts - $2000 (Battle Creek) Date: 2010-01-31, 5:18PM EST Reply to: sale-j5ejw-1579733714@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]Well, it looks like I'm going to try the world of SVO's for now so I'm selling my nice 1988 Xr4ti with a ton of spare parts. For the most recent pics, just browse through This photo album.
Alright, down to business. The car has been a northern car most its life, but it has never been driven during winter by myself or the PO. There are only two spots of surface rust on the driver's side door about the size of a nickel and that is the only rust on the car. Rocker panels are in good shape, not rotted through, some slight rust but this has been the best example of the 5 Xr's I've owned. The body and frame are very straight, the cloth interior is 9/10, just one little wear spot on driver's seat.
Exterior: As I've mentioned, the body is in great shape, two little surface rust spots. The paint I would give 6/10, the color is still good, just the clearcoat is fading in typical areas. I tried cutting a cheap mans opening in the front grille that didn't turn out well, but it can be made to look better. The rear bumper has only one flaw and that is where the 3" exhaust exits. Whoever built the exhaust got it too close to the bumper and it kind of melted/cracked a little bit. Those are the only down parts. The spatulas are still in good shape, have all the center caps and the high performance summer tires still have 85-90% tread left on them. The windshield is BRAND NEW(Thanks Blugg!), I literally had the windshield installed the day I parked the car for winter.
Interior: The interior is in excellent condition. I need to shampoo it, but next to being a little dirty right now the only flaw I can recall is the driver's side door side lumbar area of the seat has been worn a little from getting in/out of the car. I have a dual gauge pod installed with an autometer 30hg/30psi boost gauge and short sweep electric oil pressure gauge. I also have a 2-1/2" tach gauge and mechanical water temp gauge installed around the cluster area. The hatch support struts are bad, as typical, so new ones would be needed($30 for a pair IIRC). Again, NEW WINDSHIELD!!
Engine/Drivetrain: Ok, this is where the price discrepancy comes into play. I need to get the head back on the car, manifold and turbo, but it is up to the buyer if they want a stock setup or keep my upgrade. The upgrade consists for a large 27"x12"x3" core FMIC, installed with fabbed up 3" stainless steel IC piping, a TurboXs RFL-H blow off valve, custom plenum upper/inline lower intake manifold with 4.6 SOHC 65mm TB and the necessary mods made to run the intake setup. I can also throw in a Kirban AFPR with the setup as well. So with the upgrade setup, $2750, with a stock config, $2000. Let's see, the turbo is a .48/60 turbo, 3" exhaust from the turbo-back, straight-thru muffler, gilis valve. I have simplified the cooling system as well. I have done a t5 swap with a 92 mustang WC t5, pyropete clutch kit, resurfaced flywheel, MGW short throw shifter, new pilot and Throw out bearing, correct speedo cable, david godfrey adjustable clutch quad kit installed, mustang driveshaft with 460 machine driveshaft adapter.
Spare parts: Black hood, complete black hatch, steering wheel/column assembly, various cables, gauge cluster, cluster surrounds, rear hatch seal, tail lights, auto diff in great shape set of BBS wheels(no center caps) and a ton other stuff.
I still need to get the motor back together as mentioned but that shouldn't take me more than a couple weeks.
Thanks for taking the time to read through everything and hopefully I was thorough enough in my description. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask!

To quote the seller, "MACHANIC SPECIAL. NOT SURE WHATS WRONG WITH IT. IT STARTS BUT IT MAT BE THE FUEL INJECTION. TAGGS EXPIRED JAN 2010. JUST RECENTLY PASSED SMOG. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFO"
The thought of an all-aluminum DOHC V8 in the challenge makes me kinda giddy, even if it is in this land-yacht of a lincoln.

I found this Craigslist Game at 1:35.
By 2:25, I had the title to this in my hand:
1998 Sport, Six Cylinder, 5 Speed with hard doors and alloys. 83,000 miles. Needs a new top. Radiator blew on the highway, overheated and blew a freeze plug. Towed to a nearby garage and the owner didn't want to pay to fix it so he signed the title over to the garage. I bought it for $1500.
'84 Volvo 240 turbo coupe for $650 and all it needs is a headgasket. Yes please
