Just some random curiosities from my favorite search: 1986 and older, RWD/4WD.

I should love this car: two-tone, a real color, a classic car, an unusual design, but curiously I don’t. Still, pretty cool for a pretty reasonable (to me) price.

Not one but two Alfas up for sale, no price specified. Someone’s going to be very happy. (I’m curious what that car is in the foreground; this is a very intriguing garage.)

I’m an absolute sucker for convertibles, and this Triumph would fit the bill nicely.

And someone here might be interested in a cheap project car; I think these photos were taken on a disposable camera, processed at a local lab, and then the prints were photographed on a flip phone, and then finally texted to another phone for upload.

Either that or the photos date back to 1 973, but I’m pretty sure I have family prints from that era that look better than these.

I’ve always like the Metropolitan. That color combo is amazing.

I think the car in the foreground is an E Type.

I do like the color, just the overall packaging seems a bit awkward.

Am I mistaken that it seems like a very reasonable price?

That does seem like a pretty good price on the Metropolitan. I have seen them starting to creep up lately too so someone could probably buy it, drive it a few summers, and actually make a few bucks.

I love the Metropolitan.

The only classics I would consider owning (let’s ignore the fact that I technically ONLY own classics) are the Nash Metropolitan, Borgward Isabella, Kaiser Henry J, a really old Saab, or a Dauphine.

My friend’s sister always wanted a Metropolitan and now she has one and it’s the only car she drives!

Well I don’t pay attention to boring people! I have also lived all over the world so that might help too.

I love Metropolitans but I would like a bit bigger Nash. That said,

$3,000

Something like this

And a little something for you

But old Mercedes are also a plenty for really cheap.

And who says Karmann Ghias are expensive now?

One more I promise

That CJ is an attractive price, but no title + no brakes makes for a dicey trip home...

That supercab F100 is a pretty good price too. And the Karmann Ghia for that matter.

I’m not nearly savvy enough to buy a car that includes in the description: “doesn’t have engine”

The Borgward Isabella and the Dauphine are very high on my list as well. Ever since I saw a Renault Caravelle in a junkyard I have loved rear engined Renaults.

I’m sure you could downhill coast it all the way.
