With Hemmings Sports & Exotic featuring the multiple generations of the 115-chassis Alfa spider on their cover this month, is it long until people realize that, at least in North America, these are a stunning bargain you can get in several flavors? Yes, they were outdated when new, and yes, they’re prone to rust and have that oh-so-horrible Italian driving position, but honestly, do you care about those things in an occasional driver? All that considered, if you’re looking for a spider that offers all that and still undercuts the market, it might be worth a look at this 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce for sale for $2800 in Salem, OR.

October 27, 2014There’s nothing to say “America… F$%# yeah!” like a Cadillac with long horns on the hood. Nudie Cohn, the rodeo tailor, had several “horny cars” throughout the years, Tex from Cars was a Cadillac with a set of horns, and Boss Hog from Dukes of Hazzard had a set of horns on his white convertible Cadillac. So if you want to say “America… F$#@ yeah!”, but don’t have a lot of greenbacks, check out this 1969 Cadillac de Ville Convertible for sale for $1950 in Grants Pass, OR.
Ragged Ragni – 1974 and 1973 Fiat 124 Spiders
October 20, 2014If you oddball car lovers can’t find a 124 sedan or coupe to fulfill your twincam 4-seater needs, the spider is a more ubiquitous and excellent alternative. If you get one with rust and it gets a bit worse because you use it as a daily, no need to worry as it’s a common car. And the excellent top makes it a nearly all-weather car, with a good heater and decent power and reliability. For emergencies, there’s even a pair of tiny seats in back you can use for short trips. Paralyzed by rust worries? Find yourself a galvanized Audi or Porsche and get used to being kicked out of classic car drives. Fix it again Tony? Shut up! Now we’ve got that out of the way, take a look at this 1974 Fiat Spider for a mere $980 in Boulder Creek, CA.
