1961 Fiat 600 in Charlotte, NC

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4018571396.html

Here’s a nice looking ’61 Fiat 600 in Gastonia, just outside Charlotte, North Carolina. The engine bay and interior look super clean and the slightly larger dimensions and bigger engine compared to more popular 500 will make this much more usable. An asking price of $6000 seems pretty reasonable.

Group A Homologation Mazda 323 GTX circa 1988

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/4016834642.html

Rare, cool and cheap! Here’s a homologation car made so that Mazda could qualify for Group A rallying in the mid to late 80’s. The ad doesn’t give a year but we guess this to be a 1988 Mazda 323 GTX. Group A was the tamer sibling of the  “go wild or go home” Group B that Porsche 959s and Lancia Delta S4’s ran in. Some horrific accidents lead to a ban of Group B and a mandatory switch to Group A regulations. Since Mazda was already running this car they had an advantage against the teams that were scrambling to make their cars comply and ended up scoring three WRC victories with the 323.

This road version sports four wheel drive, a turbo charged 1.6l 16-valve four and 5-speed transmission. Find it on Craigslist in Raleigh, NC with 148k on the odometer for $2500.

Thanks to Nick at MotorCar Studio for the heads up on this one.

1962 Auto Union 1000 in Tennesee

http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/4025679587.html

Since we already came across an NSU this week we thought we’d throw in an Auto Union that was developed from a DKW to complete the Audi family. This ’62 Auto Union 1000 is an evolution of the DKW 3=6 (not the best of names unless they’re trying to trick us into thinking everything is twice as good!) Originally it used a 981cc two stroke engine that powered the front wheels with a blistering 50bhp and coaxed it to a top speed of 80mph. Zero to 100kph took a whopping 23 seconds so this probably had trouble getting out of its own way. The original engine from this 1000 is long gone but the body, glass and interior remain. With an asking price of $500 you could afford to drop in pretty much any power plant and bank on increasing the performance. Don’t look to make this a super car but you’ll get the looks if you can get it back on the road. Find it on Craigslist in Winchester, TN.

1970 NSU 1200 – Strange Car of the Week

http://hickory.craigslist.org/cto/4030130426.html

This is rare to see on our shores but up in the hills of North Carolina we’ve come across this 1970 NSU 1200. 1970 marks the first full year after NSU was taken over by Volkswagen and folded in with DKW and Auto Union to produce Audi. The 1200 was a rebranded Type 110 and shared much of the same mechanicals. The 1177cc air-cooled straight four cylinder engine boasts 54hp and is mounted transversely in the rear. We doubt that the stinger style tailpipes are stock but without bumpers we see rally potential all over this one. Find it on Craigslist in Hickory, NC having just been reduced from $2500 to $2000.

1972 Datsun 240Z outside Atlanta

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/3965154943.html

These are some of the worst pictures used to sell a car that we’ve seen in a while but this ’72 Z-car may be worth a look. Its a 240 so its the most desirable of these and if the rust is limited to the floor board and under the battery as the ad states then it may be an easy fix. Find this one on Atlanta Craigslist in McDonough for $2500. If it checks out, grab it because these early Z-cars aren’t getting any cheaper.

1972 MGB in Alabama

http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/4008396804.html

We came across this ’72 MGB on Craigslist in Birmingham and it looks appealing. No claims of any issues and while it doesn’t have the more desirable overdrive transmission at $2500 you could easily make the swap and still not be upside down.

Early 60’s Italian barn finds

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3959247179.html

Here’s a trio of Italian roadsters found in a barn in Griffin, GA. Two look to be early 60’s Fiat 1200s and you can just make out the tail end of what we think is an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1300. These will need a lot of work for sure but Alfas and Fiats from this era aren’t getting any easier to find. These are listed on Craigslist for $1250 each.

1960 Borgward Isabella Coupé project

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3971302844.html

Here’s a rare one to see on our shores. The Borgwards were made in Bremen, Germany until 1962 and were pretty run of the mill family cars until the launch of the coupé in 1957. The Isabellas are powered by a not-so-impressive 75hp 1.5 liter four cylinder mated to a four speed manual transmission but the coupé looked much more exotic and would have been at home on the streets of Milan. Somehow this Borgward ended up in Rockmart, GA and while it needs a lot of work it will stand out in a crowd. Find this on Craigslist with a steep asking price of $3000 considering the work needed.

“Not a” Steal of a deal on a 1967 MGB GT

**UPDATE 8-23-13** Seller has re-listed the BGT on Atlanta Craigslist for $6000! If we wait another few days it may become the most expensive GT ever!!

**UPDATE 8-19-13** Seller has pulled the CL ad in favor of letting us duke it out on eBay. Keep an eye out but be wary as he’ll probably up the reserve to the $5k region

http://athensga.craigslist.org/cto/3995978730.html

Found on Craigslist in Athens, GA. This ’67 BGT looks really clean, especially for the asking price of $3,000. The ivory white paint and steel wheels with chrome hubcaps suit this MG well. Snatch this one quickly as it probably won’t be for sale for long.

1970 Citroën DS21 in South Carolina

http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/3976618367.html

The Citroën DS oozes french style from the bullet rear indicators shooting off the roof line to the single bladed steering wheel  right down to the brake bubble in lieu of a pedal. Unfortunately the overly complex system of hydraulics can ooze just about as much. This ’70 DS21 is said to be a good driver and it sits well which indicates that the suspension hydraulics may be in good nick. It looks good in pale yellow with the black roof although the interior will need to be redone. Find it on Craigslist in Columbia, South Carolina for $5900.
