It Came From eBay Hell: Volkswagen Beetle Limousine...with a Soft Top!


Stretched Volkswagen Beetles are as commonplace on eBay as Pontiac Fiero-based fake Ferraris and Porsche 356 Speedster replicas. So what makes this example so special? Well for one it’s a convertible, and a real one at that, with a canvas roof that’s sure to sag and then collapse from the weight of the water on it when it rains.

It also has a bar made out of the same polished wood as the cheapest of community centre pianos and burgundy leather L-shaped bench seat. It also has burgundy and silver paintwork and a wide body kit, which is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

eBay Find of the Day: 1965 Cadillac Flower Car Hearse


Here’s something you don’t see every day: an ultra-rare 1965 Cadillac Superior Coupe de Fleur “Flower Car Hearse”. Specialist vehicles such as this one traded in the glassed-in section behind their front doors for an almost pickup-like rear deck.

The idea was that an attractive flower arrangement would rest on top of the deck diverting attention away from the unsightly coffin was hidden below. This particular example is said to be based on a Cadillac Fleetwood.

Video: Pontiac Solstice-Based Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 Replica


A while ago we showed you a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster replica based on a Pontiac Solstice that was up for grabs on eBay. With the exception of the rear wing and the fact that in this case, the Solstice donor car is equipped with a manual gearbox, this faux Murcielago LP-640 Roadster that's up for sale on eBay with a starting price of (ahem) $63,244 is identical to the previous replica.

Then why bother with it, you may ask? Well, simply because this eBay seller chose to show off the car with a video starring 'Zak'. Hit the jump and you'll see what we mean.

eBay Find: Vertu Nurburgring Racetrack Titanium Cell-Phone

In case you missed out on the special edition Vertu Nurburgring Racetrack mobile-phone that was produced in a limited run of 1,000 units, we found one on ebay with a "Buy it Now" price of $4,599 U.S. Designed to commemorate Germany's famous Nurburgring racing circuit, the Nokia based, Vertu cellular phone is made from knurled titanium and finished with racing leather and a radiator grill inspired bezel. Nifty it may be, but a used phone for nearly five grand doesn't quite make much sense in our books.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Auction Believed to Set New World Record for the Most Expensive Car

The beauty you see pictured above is none other than the legendary Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa race car and it is expected to break the world record for the most expensive vintage motor car ever to be sold at auction which is currently held by a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder which changed hands for a staggering $10,894,400 USD (€7,040,000, £5,598,208 GBP) in May 2008. The 1957 250 TR will be put up for sale by RM Auctions, in association with Sotheby's at the famed Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event in Maranello, Italy on May 17, 2009.

Considered by enthusiasts and collectors alike as one of the most sought-after Ferrari racing cars of all times, the Scaglietti-designed 250 Testa Rossa was produced from 1957 to 1958 during which a mere 22 examples were constructed. The iconic Ferrari participated in 19 international championship races from 1958 through 1961 taking a total of 10 victories. "This legendary 250 TR is one of the most exciting motor cars ever to be presented in auction history," said Max Girardo, Managing Director of RM Europe.

Three U.S. Bound Alfa 8c Competiziones for Sale on eBay

You would think that since only a mere 84 (of a total of 500 examples) of Alfa's classically beautiful 8c Competizione were sent to North America, by now all of them should have been parked in a garage of some luxurious villa. Apparently not as currently, there are three brand-new 8c Competiziones up for sale on eBay Motors. The first one is located in Chesterfield Missouri and has a starting bid of $243,900 while the second one that is in Minnetonka, Minnesota, has a "Buy it Now" price of $329,995. Finally, there's an 8c in Houston Texas with a "Buy it Now" tag of $295,000.

But guess what; despite the fact that we're talking about one of the most gorgeous cars in the planet and a sure future classic, as we speak and aside from a declined offer, no one has placed a bid on any of the three examples.
