SKYLINE SWAPPED 240

1991 Nissan 240sx

~120,000 miles, manual, rwd, RB25 swap

$5,000 / Round Rock, TX

If you're looking for an iconic drift car at a crazy low price, this is your chance. Seller is open to basically any offer.

OVERLAND ROVER

1996 Land Rover Discovery 1

~168,163 miles, automatic, 8 cylinder, awd

$2,000 / Niceville, FL

It has a couple of quirks, but overall, it looks really nice for the price. It has new paint and a 3-inch total lift.

BEAT MONOTONY - OVERBUDGET

1991 Honda Beat

~77,000 miles, manual, rwd, 2 cylinder, rhd

$5,500 / Atglen, PA

This mid-engine Honda is a Japanese import. The little 3-cylinder makes about 63 horsepower to propel the 1500-pound car.

MAACO NO-NO

1989 Volkswagen Westfalia

~355,000 miles, manual, rwd, pop-up tent

$5,000 / Louisville, CO

This van has been owned by the same person for the last 35 years. It’s got a few bruises, but it looks solid!

STUTTGART STARTER

1987 Porsche 924

unknown miles, manual, rwd, 4 cylinder

$2,000 / Kodak, TN

In 1987 this was the "entry level Porsche". And now, 37 years later, it could be your entry-level Porsche, especially at $2k.

INSIDE JOB

1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle

unknown miles, manual, rwd

$5,000 / Phoenix, AZ

The owner bought it for $5k about a year ago. They put ~$12k into it and are reselling it for $5k. The new interior is really nice.

CLASS ACT-Y

1997 Honda Acty

~54,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 3 cylinder, rhd

$5,000 / Banning, CA

Japanese mini trucks are extremely versatile and will grab attention anywhere they go. Most of these were white so the blue makes it extra special.

BRONCO TWO-FER

1989 Ford Bronco II

~143,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 6 cylinder

$5,000 / Havre, MT

I chose this for the blue Bronco but the listing is actually 2 Broncos and a spare engine. It's always nice to have a parts car.

ON TOPPO THE WORLD - OVERBUDGET

1993 Mitsubishi Toppo Turbo

~79,800 miles, manual, turbo, rhd, fwd

$6,900 / Elkmont, AL

The front reminds me of a bug-eye WRX. I love these weird Japanese imports. This one is manual and turbo! I'm sold.
