Vintage Motorcycle Stash outside Charlotte, NC

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/4256908074.html

We’re not sure what kind of prices this seller is asking but from the looks of the Craigslist ad he’s got quite a collection of early motorcycles, bicycles and accessories. Pictured is a Simplex, a Whizzer and a front engined, front drive bike that looks to be from the 40’s. If anyone is in the Charlotte area it may be worth a trip to the White Owl Antique mall in Concord. Find the number in the link above.

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/4256956195.html

White Ronal wheels, red leather interior and color matched bumper set this Special Edition Audi 4000cs Quattro apart from your run-of-the-mill 4000 from 1986. Built to commemorate the rally success of French star Michelle Mouton, this Quattro seems to be pretty original and is being sold on Portland’s Craigslist with a reasonable asking price of $4250. A few other blogs have run this car too so snatch it up quick.

Rare, British and Small: 1960 Singer Gazelle

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4257225746.html

This 1960 Gazelle is for sale just North of Atlanta. The seller claims that it needs a fuel pump to run and that the brakes were re-done before sitting for a bit. There is a bit of rust but if it could be had for a bit less than the asking price of $2850 this would be a good deal. You’re certain to not see too many others on the road. Find it above on Atlanta Craigslist

Rare over here: 1976 Lancia Scorpion in Alabama

http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/4241006954.html

This ’76 Lancia Scorpion looks like it has been sitting for a while in Jasper, Alabama. Still, mid-engined Lancias aren’t seen very often on these shores. The ad doesn’t give too much information about condition although it claims that it is all original. While the parts may be OE, the original metallic blue paint seen in the engine bay has been changed to re-sale red. With an asking price of $3200 its worth an email to see what the story is.

’72 BMW 2002 Shell

Clint from Maryville, TN who’s a friend of the shop has this ’02 body up for sale. The rear shock towers, floors and rockers are said to be very sound. Use this shell in place of a rusty square taillight ’02 or start from scratch to build a vintage rally or track car. Asking price is $750 or best offer. Reply to this post if you’re interested.

Restoration Ready: 1958 VW Single Cab Truck

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1570632

Up for sale on The Samba is a ’58 Single Cab Splitty project. This truck is remarkably sound and ready for a restoration. The previous owner media blasted the truck from stem to stern so there’s nothing to hide. The truck is equipped with period offroad goodies including coil-over front shocks and air-adjustable rear units. The rear wheel arches were cut to accommodate oversized knobbies but the original steel road wheels and tires are included.

The original engine is long gone but a 1600 dual port that is out to rebuild (it turns freely) is included. The truck bed is solid as are the rear floor pans. The front pans have been patched however new pans are included. Other new panels include a pair of jack points, a new lower nose panel and driver’s side rocker.

The front and rear glass along with the tail lights and turn signals are gone.

Rebuild the engine, add a set of Safari windows and clear coat the body to have one tough shop truck or start a ground up restoration without having to guess at what lurks beneath old fixes and resprays.

Clean, high revving Yamaha in Atlanta

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/mcy/4159852496.html

We came across this clean ’74 Yamaha RD200 on Craigslist over the weekend. These bikes are a scream both litteraly and figuratively as they’ll rev upwards of 10,000 rpm. While we wouldn’t ride this bike across the country, the torque that these have make them a blast to race around town on. Find it above in Dunwoody with an asking price of $1975.

Alarmingly Cool Transporter: 1980 Volkswagen German Ambulance

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1478515

Imagine picking the kids up from school in this Vanagon. Up for sale on The Samba is a 1980 Transporter (Vanagon to us) Ambulance imported from Germany. The owner claims it to be a factory built ambulance complete with sliding stretcher, high/low German siren, Hella blue roof light and a bunch of other specialty goodies. This bus is in Austin, TX and has been registered in the US so transferring to another state shouldn’t be a problem. Find is at the above link for $6,000.

Project of the week: 1959 BSA Super Rocket in Atlanta

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/mcy/4158006688.html

First off, note that the picture above is not of the actual project BSA for sale but a stock photo of the same year and model. We found this ’59 Super Rocket on Craigslist in Atlanta with an owner that’s looking for good home for it. The Super Rockets feature a 650cc twin and were pretty reliable. At $1000 its worth a call to see what kind of shape this one is in.

UK Ford Import: 1960 Ford Anglia in South Carolina

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/4185721817.html

Tap your inner Harry Potter (actually it belonged to the Weasley family if we’re getting technical) with a good deal on a 1960 Ford Anglia. We found this Anglia on Craigslist in Greer, South Carolina and it looks pretty sound. The seller claims to have a spare fuel cell and extra fiberglass fenders which baffles the mind because the last thing we think of with a car like this is to take it racing. Either way this would be a fun in-town runner.
