5 Interesting And Cheap Cars I Have Found On My Local Craigslist

All these cars were found on Spokane Craigslist

1984 Chevy S10 Pickup With A 350 Cubic Inch V8

One car besides an RX-7 that is subjected to the Chevy small block V8 swap often is the S10 pickup. If you live in a fairly large city, you should be able to find one in your local classifieds, like this one here. This one is said to have a mildly built engine, an automatic transmission, a “posi” (a type of locking or limited slip differential), and needs tires plus the starter has issues. This may be the fastest $2500 car for sale today and if you can get the hood to shut good, you have some great sleeper potential

1974 Mazda Rotary Pickup

The truck you see below isn’t the actual truck in question but it’s a lot better picture than what is in the ad I found. The listing doesn’t say much and there are only 2 okay pictures to go with it but a $3500 1974 Mazda rotary pickup in yellow is definitely worth checking out.

1984 Toyota 4Runner Chassis With A Classic Beetle Body

If you’ve ever wanted a 4 wheel drive Baja style Beetle, this is the car for you. It’s a 1984 Toyota 4Runner with a 1966 Beetle body sandwiched on top of it. It has a 22RE 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission. It has 35 inch tires on it and the asking price is $3200. If the craftsmanship is good enough, this build should make for a good talking point at your local car meet.

1995 Honda Civic With A B16 Swap

This car is the embodiment of the saying it’s what’s on the inside that counts. This stock appearing Civic is hiding a B16 VTEC engine under it’s hood and you can buy the whole package for $2,200. The locks can be tricky to operate, and the body and paint could use some work but who can argue with a car with such a great engine and such a low curb weight?

1978 Pontiac Formula Firebird

For $5,500 you can buy yourself a 400 cubic inch V8, 4 speed manual, running and driving 70’s Firebird. The car is said to come with Hedmen exhaust headers that haven’t been installed yet and the reason for it being sold is the owner is moving out of state. If you have about 6 grand in your pocket and want some affordable and fun V8 fun, this your ticket.
