1980s New Jersey Time Capsule: 19K-Mile Datsun 240Z Could Be Yours!
Those of you who believed El Suburbanimo to be the ultimate New Jersey vehicle might want to reconsider after you take a look at this '73 Datsun 240Z. Back in the early 80s, with just 19,721 miles on the Z's clock, its owner decided some custom touches were in order. A little body kit here, some stripes and TURBO emblems there, and then the finishing touch: a small-block Chevy engine. It's awesome! BZR found this gem for us; make the jump to read his description.

Test Your Driving The Army Way!
Can you read any portion of an eye chart? Can you tell a red light from a green one? Can you hit the brake pedal within minute or so of seeing a red light? Yes? Then you may be qualified to drive a great big truck loaded with Honest John missile warheads! This "Driver Training and Testing Device, Portable" can be yours for a Buy It Now of just $31.99, and it seems like a pretty cool- though admittedly useless- thing to have sitting in the garage. I recall using a device something like this one in driver training class in the early 80s; you watched a jittery 16mm movie of blurry kids running out into the 1948 street and stomped the brake pedal more or less at random.

BMW 2002 With Hidden Gun Compartment
If someone told you their modded BMW 2002 had a secret weapon, you'd likely guess they meant that it was packing some heat under the hood. Perhaps a big turbo, or maybe an S14 engine swap. But that's not the case here—this BMW's secret weapon is a loaded handgun in a secret compartment. Regardless of how you feel about carrying a gun in your car, you've gotta admit that the combination of classic Bavarian, a custom body kit, and a loaded pistol is a bit unusual. Although, it might just make for the perfect two-car garage occupant, parked next to the BMW M1 owned by the former PM of Qatar. Of course, we're not Gun-lopnik. So if you'd like to help ID the gun, justMore »

Former Qatar Prime Minister's BMW M1
The M1 is a great car. And it was even more impressive when it was new. But what to do if you want the looks of the Procar racing version, but the comfort and luxury of the street version? Do what a former Prime Minister of Qatar would do: Buy a standard car and have it done up with the body kit of a Procar. Check out those tri-color stripes! The only thing cooler than this is the M1 that was painted up by Andy Warhol. Act quickly! This thing is a bargain at just $178,750 Buy-It-Now. Well, at least compared to yesterday's $1.85M black on black on black Bugatti.More »

Need a Subcompact, But Don't Want an Aveo?
Unlike most super-obsessive car purists, Nash Metropolitan fanciers tend to have a sense of humor... which is a good thing, because otherwise there'd be a pitchfork-and-torch-wielding mob pursuing the builder of this somewhat customized machine. As far as we're concerned, there's only one thing wrong with this 1960 Nash Metropolitan: Needs more engine! Other than that, it's got everything, from the "baby's room" pink-and-blue interior to the gold-and-chrome engine compartment. But you'll need to move fast if you want this little Oregonian beauty, because the auction ends tonight! Tipster SeanKHotay thought this Nash might be a PCH candidate... Projecto Con Hashish, that is. [eBay Motors]

GM To Hawk Used Vehicles On eBay
The General will be putting on his bargaining cap as 3,900 of its certified used car dealers will list their entire inventories on eBay. This is a win-win situation for all, according to the parties involved. The certified retailers will not be charged listing fees. And the eBay gambit opens up more than 11 million eyes to available used GMs out there. One particularly interesting factoid is that Ebay is the number one automotive Web site on the Internet with "34 percent of all automotive minutes on the Web spent on eBay Motors." Well, I'll be damned. I thought we had that title all but locked up. You can start seeing the certified used GMs on eBay beginning in the second quarter of this year. That's April, when the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and used GMs are taking over the Internet. Full GM release, after the jump. More »

Everything Must Go: LeMons Car Produces Positive Cash Flow!
Last time you saw the Volvo my team hopes to run in the 24 Hours of LeMons race, it was just in the initial stages of being stripped.

Aside from our incredible junkyardy cheapness, that is? More »

When you hear about an all-original old car with low miles, you figure the clock's going to be showing something like 30,000 miles. But 1,410 freakin' miles on a 26-year-old 280ZX Turbo? Between the time we heard about this car and the time we started writing this post, a buyer sprained all his fingers punching the Buy It Now button and snared this time capsule for $29,000 (which is a deal, because the inflation-adjusted price of this car new comes to $37,169). Make the jump for even more photos. Thanks to FatBraff for the tip! [eBay Motors]

Don't Touch the Hair: "Travolta Fever" Custom Trans Am on eBay
Not long after L. Ron Hubbard got John Travolta's thetans on a silver platter, the New Jersey-born actor starred in a little movie about dancing around like a putz. It was called Saturday Night Fever, and it became a multimedia, pop-culture phenomenon that launched both his career and that of the Bee Gees into the stratosphere. As such, marketers of all stripe muscled in on Travolta Fever, an illness whose symptoms included jumpsuits and an overly intense affinity for hair products. At the time, it was customary for custom car builder George Barris to work up some manner of rod to celebrate a media property that passed a certain tipping point. Such was this "Travolta Fever" Trans Am, one of the first celebrity car model kits ever offered by Revell. Now, it's for sale on eBay. Get in on the malaise-era automotive collector's market now, before all the great ones are gone. And get this one too, what the hell. [eBay]
