Running V12 for $2K: 1991 BMW 850i

This 1991 BMW 850i has a high 192k miles and scruffy cosmetics, but the seller says that it runs strongly and can be driven despite a leaking automatic trans. There could be a lot of life left in this car, but it’s almost certain to need quite a lot of work to be made reliable. True, pillarless 12-cylinder coupes aren’t easy to find for the price of a beater Corolla, but it’d be best if the next owner went into this project with their eyes–and wallet–fully open. Find it here on Craigslist in Bellevue, Washington $2k.

Chased Porsches for a Living: Ex-CHP 1985 Ford Mustang SSP

This 1985 Ford Mustang SSP was reportedly restored to in-service specification, and photos show what looks like very good condition. Described as a genuine California Highway Patrol car, documentation is included, along with a period highway patrol uniform. The 5-speed trans is a plus, and other special equipment from the factory included beefed up floor pans, increased cooling capacity, a heavy duty alternator and more. Find it here on Craigslist in Clearwater, Florida for $16,500.

77 of 100: 1965 Gordon Keeble

This 1965 Gordon Keeble is chassis number 77 of 100 built over a four year period, and the seller describes it as being in very good, but not concours condition following an “extensive, sympathetic body-off restoration” dating to 2014. Originally a 4-speed car, its correct Chevy 327 is now backed by a 3-speed automatic, but factory pedals needed to revert to manual shifting are included. Find it here on Car and Classic in Langport, Somerset, England for 82k GBP (~$101k USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

Ready for Restoration: 1972 Porsche 911 T

This 1972 Porsche 911 T is fresh out of long-term storage, and as such it’s a bit scruffy looking. The seller says it’s solid however, and provides good photos from underneath and above with carpets removed. Its correct MFI 2.4 reportedly has low miles following rebuild, and original black leatherette covered seats still look good. Find it here on Craigslist in San Francisco for $39,500. Special thanks to BaT reader PGN for this submission.

Two for $9K: 1985 & 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo Projects

This 1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo is sold alongside a white ’86 that’s still in the garage–check out the full story for photos of that car, too. The seller says both can be used to make one good runner, and though each one is partially disassembled, the seller says there’s lots of spares. Find them here on Craigslist near Houston, Texas for $9k. Special thanks to BaT reader KLSL for this submission.

Dry Lakes & Street Custom: 1930 Cadillac V16 Roadster

This custom roadster is based around a 1930 Cadillac V16, and sounds to have originally been built for dry lake speed runs. According to the seller, a disappointing 107.7 MPH run at El Mirage resulted in the car’s builder converting it for street use in 1948. Recently discovered in storage, it looks to be complete and in decent, restorable condition, but running condition isn’t touched on. Find it here at Laferriere Classic Cars in Smithfield, Rhode Island for $175k. Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

Ex-US Army Europe: 1986 MAN M1001 8×8 in California

This 1986 MAN is a US forces M1001 version of the Munich-based company’s KAT1, itself developed for the domestic German military. An 8×8 design with steering on both front axles, power comes from a 400 horse Mercedes V10 turbodiesel, and the seller reports less than 10k miles. Like many of Tatra’s bigger trucks, secondhand ex-military MAN rigs are very popular in European off-road trials, and though fairly easy to find on that side of the Atlantic, this one’s already Stateside, negating the need for very expensive shipping. Find it here on Craigslist in Hayward, California for $40k OBO.

French FWD Sprite: 1955 Panhard Dyna Junior

This 1955 Panhard Dyna Junior is reportedly one of 4,708 made, and though the car looks nicely restored, the seller claims that it remains original–perhaps they’re referring to sheet metal, trim, and running gear rather than everything including paint and interior fittings. Regardless, these are interesting little cars (like all Panhards), featuring a roller-bearing air-cooled flat twin driving the front wheels. Find it here on mobile.de in Erkrath, Germany for 30k euros (~$31,400 USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.
