Topic: eBay Finds of the Week, 08/10 - Big and Little Edition™

I dug up some super weird stuff last week. This week, here are some little and big things of sporty persuasion or very much not.


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nQ8AAOSwKtdi8uN2/s-l1600.jpg

WINNER - 1965 Fiat 1100D. I think we've had some Fiat 131s, but we've never had one this old? Maybe in the early, early days? Either way, ready to dominate IOE. https://www.ebay.com/itm/374208125377


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Z8IAAOSwjKRi7VtW/s-l1600.jpg

1953 Cadillac "Band Hauler" Wagon - Definitely would need a weight waiver...or bring it on a Lemons Rally with 10 of your closest friends. This thing looks absolutely amazing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255663128994


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FvYAAOSwJMJi7G4o/s-l1600.jpg

1974 Ford Maverick - Another week, another Maverick. Still haven't had one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/175373910319


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/S0AAAOSwtp9i8uhr/s-l1600.jpg

1980 Ford Thunderbird - Weird transition-era Fox Thunderbird... https://www.ebay.com/itm/165620025396


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/mQQAAOSwN7Zi69ja/s-l1600.jpg

1980 Triumph TR7 - In a perfect brown color...pretty rough looking. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185525343896


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/n9cAAOSwT1Bi7UP~/s-l1600.jpg

1966 Dodge Charger - Oh, the butthurt that would resound... https://www.ebay.com/itm/275412962365


https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/2RcAAOSwmedi8wD2/s-l1600.jpg

1986 Pontiac Parisienne Limo w/Olds 455 - Probably too nice to race, but BRING THIS MOFO ON A RALLY. JUST LOOK AT IT!

That Caddy Wagon looks like it needs mad metalworking skillz AND woodworking skillz!  Could also impale a few Saturns with those front-mounted bumper torpedos.

Many years ago when I had a limo biz the TH200's regularly took a dump.  I thought they were made of cardboard.  Then again so did the HT4100s and the rear ends in those cars.  Lil ol me got a call from GM one time asking why I had stopped buying Cadillacs (when you put 100k miles/yr on them you go through a lot of cars).  I told them I would start again when they put Chevy 350's, TH400s and 12 bolts in them.  They actually starting doing that as an option in 1990.  After I sold the business.  Supposedly you can make a TH200r4 strong but it never happened for me.

As far as TR7's go, don't be mean.  They can be real contenders.  I mean look, here's our first car out front after day 1.  Let's just not talk about day 2 or the little help it got to get there.
