Time For A Tough One: The $97,000 1957 Chevrolet 210 Fuelie-May 2024

Heads up for another episode of Nice Price Or Crack Pipe, where you make the call on car sellers' asking prices! Last time we were here, 89% of you felt that the seller of was asking way too much, the second-highest Crack-Pipe-O-Meter™ score we've ever seen (after the 92% attained by the ). This time we're going to make the choice more of a dilemma for y'all; it's a genuine automotive icon, recognizable the world over, et freakin' cetera, and it's in great shape. Your heart would have to be a lump of liquid-nitrogen-cooled steel to remain indifferent to a genuine '57 210 with the 283-horse fuelie 283 engine… but is 97,000 bucks a Crack Pipe price today, as the global economic system collapses around us? That's 97 grand you won't have available to buy a fleet of Toyota pickups, a crate of Chinese SKS rifles, and sufficient MREs for a couple years in the hills!

For $13,500, Let The Cargasm Commence
I'm going to say three words, and many of you will immediately swoon upon hearing them. Are you ready? Diesel, E30, Touring. Now that you've recovered, check out today's 1989 324TD and decide if its price is also swoon-worthy. What is it they say, close only counts in horseshoes and...

For $10,000, Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm
Today's Mazda represents the company's first melding of rotary engine and wagon body style. You'll need to decide if that has any effect on your concluding whether or not its price is the last thing you'd pay. Wow, talk about close - go ahead, I'll wait. Are you done? Okay,...

For $5,000, Why Make The Dead Walk?
Do you ever think that the reason the Walking Dead are always so hungry because they're worn out form all the damn walking? Today's Pontiac hearse could be like public transit for the passed-on, but will its price make you give it a pass? Just like with vampires and the...
