We're not quite sure if this is the real thing or someone's achingly period-correct replica, but frankly, it doesn't matter. Drop tank, we want to have your babies. Tiny little drop tanks. All over the Smith house. (We'll name them things like "Tankerbell" and "Tanky Junior," teach them to play Little League, have reunions at Bonneville every summer. It'll be great.)

Tech specs and more pictures can be found here. Email this guy if you want to buy it but need someone to wear the goggles and run around making flathead noises with his mouth. (Hat tip to Kelly!)

With only 65,000 miles on the celebrity owned Town Car, it might just be a steal, but we're not ones to obsess over the celebrity factor of random rides. Actually, the price is sort of embarrassingly low. We hope a true Deluise fan steps up and makes a real offer. (H/T To Chad!)

It's not clear if this is an original movie car or an exact replica used for promotional duties (Universal Studios is in Florida). Now owned by a private collector, the car's covered 100,000 miles, which is staggering for a one-off special like this.

According to the seller, it draws a "VERY VERY LARGE crowd" wherever it goes, which goes some way to explaining the bidding that's already up to $45,100. [eBay]

Hey, GM, would you mind meeting us over at camera three for a minute?

OK, GM, seriously, between us, you've got to stop this whole half-assed PR thing. It's no longer about doing things to make you look good, or looking for ways to make people think you're looking good, it's about actually doing good. So if you've got the idea to work on a deal with EBay, work on a deal with EBay, finish it and then announce it. Don't announce that you're thinking of possibly engaging in talks on a deal to try stuff out with EBay and then have EBay turn around and call you out for not actually doing anything.

In most cases it's ridiculous to use Apple in comparison with GM because, well, they're two completely different types of companies, but one way it works is PR. When Steve Jobs announces a new product, he's got it ready to hit stores and it's going on sale that day. Not three months from now. Not six months from now. Of course, autos are a different deal. I know it takes five years to bring a new car to market. But we're not talking about cars — we're talking about PR. Or what you should be calling PR instead of the shit you've pulled recently like the "deal" with Segway for the PUMA or now this "deal" with EBay. Quit coming to the public with half a thing and come to the public when you've got the whole thing.

I don't know if this constantly half-baked idea problem is an issue with Steve Harris's PR team or if it's an issue with the entire C-suite, but fercrissakes, quit doing what looks like the equivalent of walking out of a bathroom with your zipper down and the back of your shirt tucked into your underwear. Frankly, you look like the jackass old guy in the office who still talks about the good ol' days when he could play grab-ass with the secretarial pool. No offense, Bob.

The point is, if you want to be considered a world-class automaker with world-class, innovative ideas, you've got to actually have some world-class, innovative ideas — which it sounds like you do — but then you have to deliver on them. But if you keep coming up with great ideas and then fall down on the implementation and marketing of them, you're never going to figure out you've got your shirt tucked into your ass crack.

Although the salient details are slim as of now, here's what we know from today's press release announcing the "New GM", aka the "General Motors Company.":

"We're also working on new ways to make car buying more convenient for our customers, including an innovative new partnership with eBay in California to revolutionize how people buy vehicles online," Henderson said. "Customers will be able to bid on actual vehicles just like they do in an eBay auction, including the option of choosing a predetermined 'buy it now' price. We'll be testing this and other ideas with our dealers over the next few weeks, and hope to expand and build upon them in the coming months. In all cases, our goal is to make the shopping and buying process as easy as possible for GM customers - on their time and their terms. Stay tuned."

We're told by GM CEO Fritz Henderson that it's "just an experiment." But they are "really excited about it."

So no idea yet as to whether it'd be for all vehicles, whether it would be for just a select few vehicles. The biggest hurdle such an idea faces is the dealer network. More than likely the line in the press release of "testing this and other ideas with our dealers over the next few weeks" indicates it'll more than likely be the dealers who'll be providing these services as opposed to direct-from-manufacturer sales. Either way, as long as the consumer experience is eBay-like, it won't matter to them as they'll perceive it to be direct-from-manufacturer — which is often how they perceive the experience now.

This bad boy popped up on Ebay searching for a new, loving home this week and we're still having trouble picking our jaws up from the floor.

If you've got the burning desire to make your neighbor's eyes bleed, head on over to Ebay Motors and for only $4,500, she can be yours. (Hat Tip To Joanna!)

Bet you've never seen one of these! Talk about custom top-chopped.

94 Chevy S-10 Convertible Woody! Lots of love went into this project and it's one of a kind.

Black exterior red trim, automatic, 6 cylinder, gray neoprine seat covers.

New pimped out chrome directional tires are currently on the truck just purchased for $2900, it also comes w' original tires. So, if you're looking to make a buck, you could sell the chrome tires and use originals (see difference in photos).

Obviously this truck is for fair weather, there is a makeshift top that can be attached for storage (see photo).

The 1995 Lincoln Sentinel concept was originally first up for auction back in April, when O.C. Welch Ford Lincoln-Mercury in Hardeeville, South Carolina tried to unload it from their personal collection for $80,000. With a foul-mouthed economy the concept didn't sell the first time around which drastically lowered the buy-it-now price by $31,500.

Unfortunately the car for auction isn't a full runner, rather a non-functional rolling chassis with a waterline interior (industry speak for an exterior only model), but regardless of its inability to be driven, you can still have quite a bit of fun adding this to your collection. (Hat Tip To Josh!)

Check out the Ebay auction HERE.

Currently the SSC Ultimate Aero is holding steady at a $640,100 price with an additional 3 days remaining. The auctioneer, twentyfirstcenturyauctions, is estimating that the car will end up over the $1 million mark at the end of the auction. If you've got cash on hand (which, don't we all??) get your ass moving on this because it's likely you'll never get a chance like this again, at least not until the next "World's Fastest Production Car" emerges.

Included in the auction is not only the car, but the highest bidder will also receive an SSC commemorative watch, a custom record breaking key fob (Oh really...), the original wheels and tires which were removed after breaking the record to preserve their collector value and finally a framed Official Guinness World Records certificate with a commemorative photo signed by the entire Shelby SuperCars team. Sounds like quite the bargain value.

We'll let enterprising Ebay seller, harleychoppers4life take it away:

Let's get to the good stuff... The truck you see is a complete restoration form the ground up. I can say that with no hesitation, because the entire body was completely disassembled and was chemically stripped. The entire drive train at the time was also gone through, not to mention the entire electrical side of the vehicle. The truck now has custom marker lamps that are smooth as the paint along with the taillights. The headlights also have the custom touch, with the turn signals built into them along with parking lamps. As far as the interior, this is also another big highlight. The entire interior was replaced with the softest leather I have ever felt. The gauges are Ferrari and the GPS is from Garmin. There is also a Alpine system that will blow you out of the cab.

The entire truck is nothing but drop jaw beautiful and will make the finest car collector drool. This is the type of vehicle that demands attention were ever it goes. There is not one item that will need attention and can be driven or shown today. I wish you luck if you decide to bid. There will never be another Ferrari Micro truck this nice ever again.

With 21 bids and a current bid price of $7100 (as of writing this), it certainly looks like it'll be a fun one to watch and with less than 2 days left on the ticker, we're wondering how much this little custom Ferrari Kei truck will fetch. If we had money to blow on silly toys, you could bet your ass, we'd have this sitting in our garage right now.[via Ebay]

The Mini was given to Sara when she won 2007 Playmate of the Year. She's apparently lost interest in the car now that she's move back to Oregon.

A 2007 Mini Cooper S convertible with leather and auto transmission, the car has just 12,900 miles on it, which is likely far fewer than Sara has on herself. The auction says the car is in excellent condition, "There are no dents or dings, mechanical problems and comes from a smoke-free enviroment."

A quick search of eBay reveals other 2007 Mini Cooper S convertibles with Buy It Now prices as low as $24,500. For our money, we'd buy one of those, then satisfy ourselves with a quick and free Google search for "Sara Jean Underwood nude." [eBay via Autoblog.nl]

Matt Groner, the guy who restored the once-bashed Enzo is also a 24 Hours Of LeMons racer. This race, he's running a 1995 BMW E36 (obtained via salvage title, which didn't stop the Chief Perp from slapping a 100-lap BS Penalty on it), and he decided it would look much better with the beat-up original carbon-fiber bumper from the Enzo bolted to its roof.


After a few hours, however, the safety enforcers at MSR decided that Team Enzo Dysfunction's "wing" wasn't the safest accessory they'd ever seen, so off it came. Even so, this Hollywood-famous and LeMons-veteran object is still available for purchase on eBay, with all proceeds going to charity. Wall art? Part of a body kit on your Diamante? It's up to you!

Online auction site eBay appears to be the last resort for the neglected brand after we reported yesterday GM is unable to find a buyer for Saab.

Standard equipment includes a manufacturing plant in Sweden, sub-assembly plant in Australia, a few thousand very nice people with many talents and skills and some fantastic Swedish office furniture.

The seller, who appears to be some sort of business consultant with a sense of humor trying to get someone to pay him-or-her to help with the purchase, describes Saab’s condition as such:

Over 60 years old, in excellent condition, sports and performance focused, looks great at 5 feet, however up close you will notice the brand needs a little attention.

Saab cars are fun to drive, very seldom break down, are very sporty. In the world of "me too" cars like a boring Honda Accord or a Toyota (Taurus type) Camry, Saabs represent individual style and tastes of understated distinction.

Air conditioning, power seats and cruise control (switching on for the last 15 years) are included in the price. Thanks to LilWillie for the tip!

Seller Description

This is a one-off custom-built fully-loaded SHO station wagon equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, full black leather interior, power sunroof, power windows, power seats, etc. Ford never built a station wagon, so the rear valance/bumper cover has been customized with the SHO logo. There are a few other "SHO station wagons," but as far as we know they are modified station wagons. This one started out life as an SHO that had the station wagon body welded at all of the factory joints in 1993. It was done for Audiophile Systems as an attention-getting demonstration vehicle. The cost of the stereo system alone cost more than $12,000 and includes: Eclipse 510 CD, AM FM Tuner, DSP/CD Changer Controler, Eclipse ESD 530 Twelve Disc Changer, Eclipse EQS-2000 DDL Sound Processor, Eclipse EQR-2140 DDL Tuner/DSP/CDC Controller (controller removed, and not included) Info on this equipment can be found at: (www.turboegt.com/Cars/Maxima/Audio/Version%201.0/DDL%20Details/DDL%20Details-f.htm) Two Adcom GFA-4404 300 Watt RMS Amps, Two Adcom GFI 4600 Balanced Line Drivers, Audiophile 3.6 Speaker System (Two 1" Tweeters, Two 4" Mid-range, Two 6.5" Woofers), Audiophile 2.5 Speaker System (Two 1" Tweeters, Two 5.25" Mid-Woofers), Four Audiophile 10.1 Subs (Four 10" Subwoofers)..... The vehicle is a very solid, rust-free example, but is no longer a "show vehicle." It is an excellent driving car with more than $4,000 of maintenance recently performed after sitting for 5 years. Including: Axle shaft assembly, inner tie rod ends, a/c O-rings, water pump, timing belt, custom-built cat back exhaust with turbo-tuned high-performance muffler, oil pressure sending unit, platinum spark plugs, and a set of Bridgestone Turanza LS-T 215/60R16 T-rated tires. I was told the clutch has also been replaced (there is no detectable clutch problem, but I do not have proof it was replaced)...... There is some hail damage and parking lot dings, mainly on the driver's side. Car needs to be repainted, but is usable as is. This is a very fast, very strong running vehicle, and very fun to drive. It has been very well cared for. It turns a lot of heads, as many people are aware that Ford never built an SHO wagon. I have an extremely low reserve, as I do not have the time or room to turn this car back into its "show-car" condition. What doesn't work:Interior tailgate release switch (have to use key). One fog light. EATC head (I am currently pursuing fixing this, but cannot guarantee).... Car is located in Dayton, Ohio. I can e-mail photos. Tell me what you'd like to see.

For that kind of money, you could get a nice, honest MR2 Spyder...that hasn't been in an accident. Or if you really just want a cheap mid-engined Porsche, you could buy a decent first-generation Boxster. However, if you're dressing up as Anthony Hamilton for Halloween, well then this might just be the ticket after all. [ebay]

Will you get a fair market value for your car no matter where you sell it? Do certain cars do better in different environments? You'd have to think the best market for a seller will be one with the greatest access to potential buyers plus a low number of potential alternate choices. A rare Vette might do well at the Big BJ, but would your mom's six-year-old Liberty do as well? Would leaving it out at the Woodward Dream Cruise work better? What's the best deal you've gotten when selling a car and where did you sell it? Where is the best place to sell a car?

Here's something you don't see every day. These cars are usually restored to stock and parked in museums, not resto-rodded! With a Chevy 454 big-block under the hood, this gangster Pierce-Arrow would be a force to be reckoned with. And with the reserve set at $49,500, the seller assures that it's "priced for a quick sale." Better take a number!
