Sometimes the mind boggles at how much stuff you can get – junk or not – for $900. Originally listed at $5653 for the pillared sedan, or about $38,000 in 2014 dollars, this was a car designed to compete with Cadillac for the billing of top American luxury car. And if you weren’t busy doing stupid hippie things in 1968 like protesting against wars, for freedom, or for efficiency, you could seal yourself off from all the racket in a 5000-ish pound cocoon gliding along courtesy of Chrysler’s 350hp 440 V8, which gave a monstrous 480 lb.-ft. of torque. Check out this 1968 Imperial Crown for sale for $900 in Centralia, WA.

19 Cents per Pound – 1968 Imperial Crown
July 22, 2014Interesting Parts – 1976 BMW 2002
July 21, 2014Following a reader request to keep an eye on the price range of featured cars, we’ve got an option here that will help keep things down. While definitely a special car that’s a recognized icon, BMW 2002s are not exactly rare in the classic car world, and the latter, big-bumper cars are considered by many to be less desirable (though retrofitted with home-market chrome bumpers, they look every bit as good). So that’s when you go looking for extras – the interesting little changes that were made by the selling dealer or the owners. To see some special extras on a cheap 2002, check out this 1976 BMW 2002 for sale for $2000 in Bellevue, WA.
Hot Rod Swede – 1966 Volvo 122S
July 19, 2014The great thing about Volvos, aside from their minimalist Swedish design aesthetic and durability, is the fact their rather conservative and plain styling can hide something really fun. And unexpected fun is the best kind – think of the last time you had a surprisingly good meal at that hole in the wall, or hit it off with a new friend. So, you say, what does that metaphor have to do with a red two-door car with a spoiler on the front? Well, it’s a Volvo, so the stock powertrain promises a safe, respectable 95-or-so horsepower, and the 4-speed M41 overdrive transmission promises relaxed freeway cruising. You can find this Volvo 122S for sale for $4000 in Bellingham, WA.
