Now that we've established that 70% of you would prefer to hanger up at the Beelzebub Acres Mobile Estates Park with a 1951 Cadillac-based motorhome, you'll basic a inconsequential machine to tow behind the rig (since it's likely that your V8 Vega or Pinto will end up on fire in a trough and hence be unavailable for conveyance). But there will be no workable Samurai or boring Metro for you. Oh no, not in Project Car hell- you'll necessary a bit painfully cool yet coolly agonizing to go with your Caddabago...Kellison Motors made some pretty interesting cars in the 1960s, fiberglass informal-car bodies fitted with the customer's choice in drivetrains. The J-5 had a loony power-to-weight part with just about any engine you could find, and you can ought to this 1963 instance for peanuts (tall bid at the pace of this copy is only $550). Of procedure, for that kind of amount you total there strength be some, you have knowledge of, issues. I think it's all summed up by the seller's invoice "Someone started doing very poor work on It causing a little extra work on it but not ruining it." It's built on a Chevy Luv setting, complete with Isuzu engine, so you influence consider upgrading, well, all of it. Some of the unique Kellison bits are elongated gone, and of sequence the fiberglass looks, well, not quite pure. A scheme this sweet doesn't come along every day, but the seller is put on to let it go for financial reasons. His shortfall is your nightmare improvement!The Plein Air edition of the Renault 4 was pretty cool, no doubt about it. Just the thing for cruising the beach in the South of France- no doors, simple convertible top, light importance so it won't sink in the sand. Why, the Caddabago wouldn't at the same time sign the drag caused by a Plein Air being towed! And you'd think it would be insufferable to find one in the United States, but stop the presses- we just dotted this 1964 Renault R4 Plein Air copy, available for just two grand. The seller doesn't clarify who made the duplication nor when it was made, though we questionable it's the Sinpar account in the link above. In any weekend case, it's got front-wheel-motivation and a four-speed. The seller doesn't mention running condition, so we dignitary there's a big negatory on that question, and the whole thing is "scruffy looking" (probable paraphrase: complete basket paradigm calling for key fiberglass work and fabrication of unattainable-to-find French components). But the seller needs you to realize it's "Seriously for sale," so you gotta sum you really can't go inappropriate here.Gawker Media polls require Javascript; if you're transmission this in an RSS reader, snap through to inspection in your Javascript-enabled web browser.
