Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $19,000 RHD Datsun Skyline C211?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $19,000 RHD Datsun Skyline C211?-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

It's time again, which means you have another chance to pass judgment on a car seller's possibly overoptimistic price tag! Today's car is one you don't see every day in North America, no doubt about it; the seller brought this '80 Datsun Skyline over from the UK, so it's even weirder than the occasional JDM car you might encounter. It's in pretty good shape, other than a spot of quarterpanel rust-through; we're pretty sure the L28 engine was never installed by the factory in these cars, so either the seller has the engine wrong or it's been swapped. Regardless, many common-as-dirt 280ZX parts will fit. Thanks to Justin for the tip!

For $20,000, Could This 1983 Bremen Sebring Totally Raise The Roof?
For $20,000, Could This 1983 Bremen Sebring Totally Raise The Roof?
You’ve heard of Quattroportes and Monopostos but how about a monoporte? Today’s Bremen Sebring lets you pop its top to get inside. Let’s see if this rare component car should have buyers popping for its price. On first pass, forty-five hundred for yesterday’s seemed like a slam dunk. Then reality...

At $24,995, Could The Seller Of This 1978 Cadillac Seville Elegante Be Serious?
At $24,995, Could The Seller Of This 1978 Cadillac Seville Elegante Be Serious?
The seller of today’s Seville calls it a “no hit car” indicating an accident-free existence. It’s got low miles and high class, but will its price prove a hit with you? You say tomato and I say tomato, you say kit car and I say component car… let’s call the...

For $12,000, How About This Amazing 1970 VW Custom Coffin?
It’s been said that it’s not the cough that carries you off, but the coffin they carry you off in. You might get carried off with today’s custom Vee-Dub, but will its price still bury its chances? Have you ever spent an inordinate amount of time trying to decipher the...

For $4,500, Could This 1996 Chevy Corvette Be Worth The Gamble?
For $4,500, Could This 1996 Chevy Corvette Be Worth The Gamble?
Today’s C4 ‘Vette is described as having ONE MILE on a set of rebuilt heads. It has a LOT more than that in total, and a kind of sketchy history, but will its price make it all worthwhile? Fully 60-percent of you were not onboard with the seller’s price for...

The Fiat 124 Spider Is The Ultimate Italian-American Car
The Fiat 124 Spider Is The Ultimate Italian-American Car
You may not look at the Mazda Miata-based and say, “Viva l’italia!” But why would you? It’s a Japanese car sold by an Italian-American company. But when I drove one for the first time, something strange happened. I think I found the automotive embodiment of myself: energetic, easy to beat...
