The days of summer are calling and nothing is more suitable [in our dreams] than a hot rod with open pipes and an open top. We like ‘old school,’ we appreciate anything that once ran flat out on the salt flats and we love unique touches that pop out at you the more you look at an automobile. This former salt racer has all of the above and it’s on EBay for $20,000 with Reserve Not Met. …Read More »

What is that??? That’s what we imagine you’d hear while driving this De Tomaso Guarà. This is one of 2 (of the 40 made) in the U.S., from what we understand, so you’d likely never ’see yourself coming around a corner’ in one. It’s unusual and while the Italian stying isn’t for everyone, we really like that it doesn’t look like anything else. It’s currently on EBay at $100,000 with 0 bids and Reserve Not Met. …Read More »

Hope everyone’s had a nice President’s Day, apologies for not posting the last few days, things have been quite busy. Today we’ve noticed a pretty cool looking Turquoise 1955 Ford Thunderbird hot rod that will make the Ford purists out there cringe. However, this car is really meant to be a hot rod, built as a cruiser by someone who didn’t want the typical hot rod (think 30’s roadster) body. It’s currently on EBay, with a Buy It Now price of $65,000. …Read More »

January 24, 2009: We’re back from a great weekend in Scottsdale where we enjoyed watching the action at Barrett Jackson, RM Auctions and Gooding & Co. We were very disappointed at RM when they announced the GT90 had been pulled from the event. We were looking forward to seeing the car and watching the bidding. If we find out any more info, we’ll post it here.

December 22, 2009: On Friday, January 22, 2010 RM Auctions will auction off a truly unique Ford. The 1995 Ford GT90 was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as a successor to the legendary GT40 which Ford, with help from guys like Carroll Shelby, employed to beat Ferrari at Le Mans throughout the second half of the 1960’s. The auction house claims $3million dollars was spent in developing the carbon fiber panel, honeycomb aluminum chassis, 720hp quad-turbo V12 supercar. While RM Auctions is not currently providing any estimates, we doubt it will be bid up nearly that high. In the meantime, do any readers have estimates of their own? …Read More »

It’s a cold dreary here and seeing this ‘37 Ford has brought us a bit of a smile. While we love all the lightweight, high strung cars with huge horsepower and great road-holding capabilities we’ve posted lately, sometimes it’s just nice to cruise. There’s value in having something which starts up with every turn of the key; that’s not too loud, too audacious or over the top; but still turns heads and gives you pride in knowing that it’s yours. This hot rod can be, for $39,900. …Read More »

This 1957 AC Aceca is a find that’s met us with mixed emotions. It was for sale (from what we recall, 6-7 years ago) for $44,000 here, but we missed it then! We’ve often looked for this exact car to come back on the market and now it has, but the values of Aceca’s have climbed, now the seller is asking $119,000. We think it’s fairly priced, just a bit hard for us to pull the trigger right now. …Read More »

If you don’t know much about the Superformance GT40 check out their website. These are built in South Africa, steel-mono and ‘licensed’ recreations that mimic the originals with a high level of accuracy. These cars cost about $80,000 for a painted and assembled chassis, plus roughtly $35,000-$45,000 for an engine and transmission. This particular car is fully assembled with a Roush 427R and ZF trans, has only 1,600 miles, and we think is a great deal at $85,000. …Read More »

December 2, 2009: This car has been re-listed on EBay under the same seller. On the previous auction it was bid up to $178,300 but was a No Sale. We’ve updated the links, check out the new description.

September 22, 2009: Here is a truly unique hot rod. Built by Steve Moal of Moal Coachbuilders for actor Tim Allen, they dubbed it the “Licorice Streak.” Steve Moal has designed some of the most sought after hot rods in the world and rarely does one come up for sale. The fact that this is owned by Tim Allen, a huge “car guy,” makes it that much more special. …Read More »

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving from Two Seats Or Less! Given it’s Thanksgiving day, we figured the most appropriately ironic thing to post is a British car with an American powerplant. Besides that, we’ve had a few people inquire about the black Mark II Tiger we posted a few weeks back. That car was very nice, but sold shortly after we posted it. So, what we’ve got here is a Mark I, which is less rare, but still a great car. The owner claims it’s one of the nicest on the planet, hence the asking price of $54,500 or offer. …Read More »

We aren’t typically fans of “big body” cars from the early 70’s but this Mustang Mach I is a bit different. Admittedly, we like it because it’s black and for the ‘long and low’ look, made possible by the full Air Ride Technologies air suspension and 18″ Foose wheels. The seller is asking $85,000 but we’ll let you judge whether or not it’s worth it. He claims much more than the asking price has been put into the car, for what it’s worth. …Read More »
