Barely There: Very Rusty 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Body & Chassis
This 1960 Maserati 3500 GT is a major project sold only as a body shell and tube frame superleggera chassis and tags. Everything else is missing, including the drivetrain, interior, brightwork, etc. Rust is prevalent, and the hood is unaccounted for as well, but one way or another, this car is definitely worth saving, even if that means a partially custom build. Find it here on eBay somewhere in the UK with reserve not met.
Korean JDM FWD Lotus: 1998 Kia Vigato
This 1998 Kia Vigato looks nearly identical to an M100 Lotus Elan, which is exactly what it is in essence, despite being built in Korea and fitted with a Kia engine. The Korean marque purchased rights to the model when Lotus stopped production a few years before this example was built, and apart from new taillights and a switch from Isuzu turbo four to a normally aspirated corporate powerplant, the design remained virtually identical. Sold in Japan (where this example came from) as the Vigato, it was simultaneously marketed domestically as the Elan. This one now wears Lotus badges, and though the seller doesn’t provide a lot of info specific the car at hand, they do claim it to be in excellent condition with just over 20k miles. Find it here on Craigslist in Vancouver, BC, Canada for $18,800 CAD (~$14,400 USD today).
Mazda Rotary Transplant: 1994 Suzuki Samurai
This 1994 Suzuki Samurai has been heavily customized in support of a transplanted Mazda 12A rotary engine. The seller doesn’t provide much in the way of mechanical spec details, but does let loose that the little truck runs what sounds like a nine-inch Ford rear end, as well as a custom cage and doors–note the cut-down sides. Lowered severely over staggered width drag style rubber, it’s undeniably silly, but also looks like a ton of fun. Find it here on Craigslist in Belleville, New Jersey for $8,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Ken W. for this submission.
Stored 55 Years: Complete 1938 Talbot Lago T23 Project
This 1938 Talbot Lago T23 drophead coupe (chassis 8251NM) has spent the last 55 years in storage, only recently emerging in preparation for sale. The owner’s father is said to have been an avid collector, and owned more than 100 cars at the time of his death. This one has undergone a few partially finished restorative efforts since then, but has mostly sat waiting to be finished. The seller claims that it’s both very solid and complete, describing only a few minor spots of rust, as well as a free turning, matching-numbers engine. The car does look very restorable in photos, and certainly seems like it’d be worth the effort. Find it here on eBay near Pleasanton, California with reserve not met.
