I loathe custom cars...usually built to the discriminating tastes of some yokel, they all seem to get the same cliched Billet steering wheels, and the "value" is calculated with backyard mechanic labor at $200/hr.

Yeah, half of those were offered by the same seller.
 
I wonder, is a "Mustang II" front suspension a good thing?

That Freelander is cheap, but then the repairs will set you back a few grand. Wouldn't be surprised if one needs to sink another $5-8k into it to fix everything.
 
Seems like broken luxury vehicles of yesteryear (let's say the 90s and 00s) have become throwaway vehicles of today.
 
I know nothing about values of old hot rods like the Pontiac Judge convertible, but I think $77k is a bit steep.

Half of them are posted by the same seller? Wow! I hadn't noticed that.
 
How would you like to be sitting on half a million dollars worth of toys like that in a market like this? I bet that guy has switched to smoking cheaper cigars....and sweating a lot.
 
I don't think that customs like these hold their value like a Ferarri et al does in bad times.
 
ON that Judge, I'm thinking that price is an awful lot to pay for a VIN number.

5 things you never knew about MR2s by qbrozen

5. at just 18 years old, its already a collector car
4. AC works very well even without freon!
3. it was built so poorly at the factory that major repairs improve the vehicle
2. salvage title increases value
1. it has the ability to sleep!
 
This one is real special because it has "full suspension"

I thought only Camaro owners had trouble making sense.
 
Hmmm...."collector car" insurance on a modern MR2 with a salvage title? I'd love to know the company that wrote THAT policy, and if they did write it, how much they knew about the car's title. The appraisal on the car would also be an amusing read.
