Challenge: Most interesting car you can find on your local craigslist. HAS TO BE RUNNING. UNDER $1500

I found a 1989 BMW 750li. It is in rough shape but the owner says it runs. The V12 car I found sets the bar pretty low. Who can beat it?

Okay, that’s not really it. This is probably the most intriguing. http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5296594897…

The ONLY car on my local CL for under $1500 is - http://manchester.craigslist.co.uk/cto/5316646094…

Definitely NOT interesting in the least!

(sorry only just noticed the edit)

But under Ł1500, maybe this is interesting? http://manchester.craigslist.co.uk/cto/5338052392…

With the budget in place, here we go, take your pick from this fleet of awesomely ridiculous cars under 1500 each. (Wouldn’t it be the coolest to run a dealer lot that only sold under 2k cars? So hysterical)

We’ll start with the tow vehicle to help you out once these cars fail you (they will)

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/534639…

1986 Ford F250 Diesel 6.9L 1500- obo

Kinja'd!!!

1928 Model A, it has an engine despite having not much else so I’m going to assume it runs. IF it fails, put it in the bed of the F250 lol

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/533922…

Kinja'd!!!

What would a fleet from MontegoMan be without a quirky Mercury?!

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/534681…

1992 Mercury Capri Convertible

Kinja'd!!!

And without a quirky 60’s car? 1968 Buick Lesabre. Needs body work, but it runs and drives! Only 1400 (save that 100 for some body work)

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/535074…

Kinja'd!!!

What’s that? You still want to go off roading?

What the hell, have a solid looking XJ for 1200 (pretty new too a 2000):

I like how “has some rust” means a completely different thing in NC vs MI.

That J10 would be listed as practically rust free in Michigan lol.

Also - I want it.

Oh, and I went way too deep you can see my post haha

OK one more entry (having too much fun)

I found a running/driving crappy condition Lincoln LS V8 MANUAL that comes with a free broken S10 pickup. No one in the history of earth has offered such a miss matched pair for sale together:
