Alfa Romeo GTV6, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Honda Beat: The Dopest Cars I Found For Sale Online

Back in the 1970s the Ranger name wasn’t reserved for a small truck, but to higher level trims of the Ford F-100. This half-ton F-100 is two-wheel-drive with a four-speed manual. It looks great, despite decades on this planet and being the seller’s daily driver. The engine under the hood is a Ford 400M V8.

It’s $3,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Deer Park, Washington.

The seller of this classic Porsche warns right out of the gate that this isn’t a show car. But that’s fine, it’s a bright yellow, topless roadster that you can enjoy without fear.

The Porsche 914 was a joint effort between Volkswagen and Porsche. It handled well but wasn’t all that fast. But that’s fine, because the 914 is about cheap fun.

This one has had most of the hard stuff done like the repair of common rust areas and a bunch of new parts. It’s ready for you to ride out the end of the summer in for $8,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, with 97,000 miles.

One of the final and coolest cars to be adorned in Pontiac’s badge is the G8. Yes, it was just a Holden Commodore with a new nose, but it was tantalizing high-octane sedan fun. The standard G8 came equipped with a V6, but the GT, like this one in Missouri, has a 361 HP 6.0-liter V8 driving the rear wheels.

This one is said to need minor work, with the biggest issue being A/C that doesn’t work. It’s $9,000 or best offer on Facebook Marketplace in Portsmouth, Virginia, with 172,000 miles.

BMW’s air-cooled boxer twin is a work of art on its own and the body of the R 75/5 complements it. That engine is 749cc and makes 50 HP in this application. That’s not going to rip your face off, but it’s enough power for a day of two-wheeled fun.

This one has been lightly modified into a scrambler and I think it looks pretty good, though that work can be undone. It’s $4,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Hansville, Washington.

This week’s enthusiast car is an Italian classic. The Alfa Romeo GTV6 is famous in part for its appearance in Octopussy. It was also Jeremy Clarkson’s car of choice in the Grand Tour’s ‘Well Aged Scotch’. The GTV6, with GTV roughly translating to “fast grand tourer” is known for striking exterior design and its V6 soundtrack.

The seller doesn’t say if this one has a 2.5 or a 3.0 V6, but says that it’s free of leaks and the body is free from rust. It needs a little bit of work, but appears to be a solid Alfa for $10,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Wichita, Kansas.

Good news, this glorious yellow Honda Beat already has a California registration, which means someone went to the expense of making sure it would pass emissions testing in the state.

The Honda Beat is still the most fun I’ve ever had driving a car, and I recommend it to everyone. This one appears to have aftermarket wheels, steering wheel and radio, but is in otherwise good condition. It’s $8,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Desert Hot Springs, California. Alternatively, the seller is willing to trade add in a Toyota 4Runner on top for the right trade.

The distinctive Toyota FJ Cruiser is pretty capable when the going gets tough.

These continue to blow my mind with how well they appear to be hanging onto value. Some examples with high mileage are listed by dealerships for more than the price of a new car.

This FJ Cruiser is said to run as it should and it’s stock, save for an aftermarket stereo and aftermarket alarm. It’s $11,700 on Facebook Marketplace in Brighton, Colorado, with 200,000 miles.

The B-body Chevrolet Impala SS was one of America’s last fast land yachts. Under its large body is a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 HP and 330 lb-ft torque. This combo was good for a 0-60 time of about 6.5 seconds in its day.

This Impala SS is said to have some paint fade and a couple of tears, but runs well. It’s $6,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, with 112,000 miles.

The last vehicle on this list would give that extra-wide Dodge Ram a run for its money. The Wide One Corporation lived up to its name by taking regular Dodge vans and adding a whole 14 inches of width to them. These thick vans would do service as ambulances, RVs and shuttles like this van here.

This wide van appears to be in decent shape and while it’s definitely expensive for a work van, you’d definitely be the master of vans in this thing. It’s $9,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Las Vegas, Nevada.

That’s it for this week! Have you purchased a car from one of these posts? If so, I want to know.
