Rare Find Lada 110 for sale in the States


Here's a very unique and rare car to see in the united states a Lada 110.  For those of you not with familiar with Lada we'll go into some history of the company real quick.  Lada was established in 1970 and began selling cheap economy cars to the people of Russia.  Their first car was the 2101 which was a rebadged fiat 124, you see after Fiat quit production of the 124 Lada bought the old molds and other manufacturing equipment from fiat to make the 110 which was in production from 1970-1988.

Today Lada sells their cars in many different countries, however they still do not sell in the USA, which makes this car a rare find.  I think it would be cool to have this car, i have always loved those weird, unique cars. This one is in really great shape and only has 15k Kilometers on it, which is about 9k miles. The only issue i can see is getting parts and service done as many American mechanics would most likely not have a clue how to work on it or where to even start looking for parts.  Find this one here in Arlington, Massachusetts.

1953 Mercedes-Benz 300 Recreation


Here's a really cool looking ride for sale a 1953 Mercedes 300 Recreation.  It is very cool but not something you can really drive alot the big issue being it has no top. It looks to be very professionally built however the almost $600,000 asking price seem a little steep for a car that's not even the real deal.  You can find it here in Saint-Trond, Belgium.

Chrysler Concorde Limo

  Here's a very unique limo, to say the least.  It appears to be a 1997 Concorde limo although the title of the posting calls it a "Chrysler Andere" The entire posting is in German(which is the vehicles location).  Anyways back to the car it appears that after turning it into a limo it was then made a convirtable and then they also installed a table in the back.  As you can tell the car was most likely owned by Bacardi at one point in time, most likely used as a promotional tool.  It is currently for sale in Poppenlauer, Germany for 3,800 euros or about $4,600 in American currency.

The 2012 CODA Electric Vehicle specs and my thoughts.

I don't know how many of you have heard about the CODA all Electric car but i though i would give my thoughts on it and some specs and info on the car.  So first of all some specs:
  • Limited to a top speed of 85 MPH
  • Base price is $38,000 
  • 6 hour charge time
  • 125 mile range on a single charge
  • Singe speed gear reduction transmission 
Now i don't know about you but $38,000 seems pretty expensive for a small car, granted it is eligible for for Federal Tax Credits and some states offer rebates. But still $38,000 for an all elertic car i don't think so for about another $1,000 you can get a Chevy Volt which has a gas and electric motor and much more room.  In my opinion the design just seems to boring it looks like a cheap economy car it seems like they could have done some work and gave it some better lines especially for the price there charging. 




1969 Intermeccanica Italia Coupe

Here's a cool European classic a 1969 Intermeccanica Italia Coupe.  Intermeccanica was formed in 1959 in Italy and are still in business today, however they production numbers remain very low making there cars a rare sight, especially on US roads. It Sport's a 4 speed manual and a Ford 302.  To add to an all ready awesome and rare car this ones said to have only 34,000 original miles, However that does not claim to be documented so who knows if those are actual miles i would assume so just being the type of car it is.  This one had some pretty nice options with power windows and A/C.  It is currently for sale on eBay at a dealer in California with an $87,500 asking price.



2001 Ultima GTR

Here's a very rare find a 2001 Ultima GTR, currently for sale in Georgia for $80,000.  Here's some history on the Ultima they were built in Leicestershire, England and sport's  720HP and weights about 2,100 pounds.  It did the 1/4 mile in just 9.9 seconds @ 143 MPH. A very neat and unique car for sure.  I like the look of this car, however it has a fairy basic interior most likely to keep the weight to a minimum. 


Two Personalitites Wood Car
