You say 13 grand is too much to pay for a '74 Corolla? So be it! But we know you like low-mileage Fords , so today we've got a super-rare Mustang with a double-digit odo reading! That's right, 99 miles! Judging from the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the nice Down On The Street SVO Mustang , we figure many of you are already fumbling for the "Nice Price" choice, before even reading the details. Hold on there, sport, because the details are well worth reading; this car is being offered by the same too-literate-for-eBay outfit that had the 2,000-mile Daytona Turbo Z . That's right, no CAPS LOCK gibberish to slog through, just a lengthy sales spiel that doesn't do much to explain why this car has so few miles; it was a show car for its early years, though we can't quite figure out if it was owned by Ford or someone else at the time. Regardless, it appears to be the real deal, and it can be yours for only $33,900! We especially like the "wink, wink"...

How much is too much for an interesting old car? The Renault Le Car (that's a Renault 5 to you Yurpeans) is pretty interesting, all right, but $5300.83? Nice Price… or Booth Numbah Two? We've had feel-good NPOCP votes the last couple days, with the 188-mile T-Bird and the 2,450-mile '85 RX-7 both winning Nice Price honors. For today, we've got a 53,000-mile 1983 Renault Le Car for the must-be-significant price of $5,300.83. It's got the sunroof, it's in nice shape, it drives, and it's way nicer than the other 48 Le Cars still traversing North American roads today. Whaddya say?

Ready to cast some Nice Price Or Crack Pipe judgment this morning? 60% of you thought that the $12,500 1973 Ford Ranchero camper was way overpriced, in spite of that 351C/4-speed setup. Today we're going for something a little more affordable, in honor of the onrushing Financiapocalypse . Sometimes you see a car project and you have to wonder what the builder could have been thinking? It's obvious that a lot of thought and quality workmanship went into this '84 Colt Turbo- which even has the extra-hip Twin Stick dual-range transmission- but, well, why? Anyway, the important issue here is price ; what do you say? galleryPost('NPOCPColtBumperCar', 6, 'Dodge Colt Bumper Car Could Be Yours'); Thanks to a whole bunch of you for the tip! [eBay Motors] What about the $4,500 price tag on the Dodge Colt Bumper Car? ( surveys )

It's Nice Price Or Crack Pipe time again, which means you have another chance to pass judgment on a car seller's possibly overoptimistic price tag! Today's car is one you don't see every day in North America, no doubt about it; the seller brought this '80 Datsun Skyline over from the UK, so it's even weirder than the occasional JDM car you might encounter. It's in pretty good shape, other than a spot of quarterpanel rust-through; we're pretty sure the L28 engine was never installed by the factory in these cars, so either the seller has the engine wrong or it's been swapped. Regardless, many common-as-dirt 280ZX parts will fit.

I was thinking about using this fine customized cartruck for Project Car Hell , but gave up when I realized that nothing could possibly compete with it. Yes, folks, it's a genuine Roly Fernandez-built 1988 Camaro with dual rear axles and a truck bed that will laugh at standard lumber sizes, and all for a starting bid of just $1,500! Sure, it's maybe not quite as nice as it was when it first left Roly's shop, but how hard could it be to fix up the "Long Gone?" Imagine the Super Dorifto Potential with this thing!

When you run a dairy farm, heading out to the driveway and laying eyes upon a boring old nonfat '86 Camaro in plain white is just plain unacceptable . Clearly, the only option is to decorate it with Holstein spots, then do the upholstery to match and pile a bunch of stuffed cow toys in the back seat (we'd add a freshly severed Holstein head to the hood, but that's just us). Now the creator of the Cowmaro has decided to sell- in spite of getting a feature in Camaroworld - and the bid price is sitting at a totally reasonable $3,000! The T-tops leak (a statement as unnecessary as "the engine block is heavy"), the ignition key is stuck in the switch, and so on, but who cares? Cowmaro! Thanks to Thunder for the tip.

There was a lot of debate over the authenticity of the last eBay Hammer we saw here, so let's get our tirades revved up again for today's find: an allegedly genuine 1988 AMG Mercedes-Benz 300TE station wagon! Do you think it's real? If so (or even if not), do you think it's worth $38,000? Thanks to Schm for the tip!

After Seatbelt123 and the rest of the Quattro Libre team piloted their Audi 4000 to a respectable 23rd place at the 24 Hours of LeMons South event last weekend, they decided to upgrade to some fine Italian steel for their next race. What better choice than the Alfa Romeo Milano , with its insanely complicated and fragile innovative De Dion tube/rear-transaxle drivetrain and neurotic bulletproof Italian V6? And- can you believe it?- it turns out you can get two of 'em for under 300 bucks! What could go wrong? Look out, Tunachuckers , you've got serious competition for the Index of Effluency trophy! galleryPost('EffluencyMilanos', 6, 'Two Alfa Romeo Milanos For 299 Bucks'); [eBay Motors]

Forget about all those backyard Fiero hack jobs, your Fieroborghinis and your Fierraris . Really, forget 'em! You can now own a genuine Canadian-government-backed 1986 Enterra Vipre , which is currently getting some solid eBay bid action. The Enterra Vipre was based on the '86 Fiero GT chassis, so you get the mighty six-banger. Thanks to Josh for the tip! [eBay Motors] galleryPost('EnterraFieroEbay', 6, 'Enterra Vipre For Sale');

We love weird South American versions of North American cars, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more complicated family tree than the Renault Torino. Conceived as the result of AMC-Renault cooperation, based on the '65 Rambler American Rogue, with body redesign by Pininfarina and power by Kaiser, the Torino was built in Argentina until 1982. We really, really want one to use for Official Jalopnik Business... and now there's this '72 for sale on eBay! Make the jump for a vastly expanded gallery.

Those of you who believed El Suburbanimo to be the ultimate New Jersey vehicle might want to reconsider after you take a look at this '73 Datsun 240Z. Back in the early 80s, with just 19,721 miles on the Z's clock, its owner decided some custom touches were in order. A little body kit here, some stripes and TURBO emblems there, and then the finishing touch: a small-block Chevy engine. It's awesome! BZR found this gem for us; make the jump to read his description. [eBay Motors] galleryPost('TimeCapsule80sZ', 9, '80s Time Capsule Datsun Z on eBay'); Like a time warp straight out of the 70s, with every optimistic Malaise-denying piece on there. Every angle induces another "Oh my God" reaction, every feature seems like some unholy caricature of a kitsch utopia. Makes "Black Gold" look restrained and tasteful by comparison, and pretty much every other 70s special edition seem subdued as a result. If you're featuring this car on Jalopnik (and...

Let's say you have a 1983 Pininfarina Spider Azzurra, which is a Fiat 124 built after Fiat handed production over to Pininfarina for a couple years (go here for the story), and you know it's something special . How do you show the world? Why, you convince the world it's actually a Ferrari, by dressing up the Fiat Twin Cam under the hood and then adding a great deal of body modifications. Hey, Fiat, Ferrari, what's the diff? They're both Italian, right? Don't forget the headlight shields and Von Dutch shift knob!

The Murfreesboro Vanden Plaschero inspired a lot of discussion about the pros/cons of Americans hacking up fine European machinery in order to add pick-em-up truck beds. Don't forget, though, that Europe itself has a fine tradition of Caminoization stretching back for many decades. Take, for example, this pair of fine Old World cartrucks. We've got a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SE with pickup bed from Germany and a 1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow on a Dodge truck chassis from the Netherlands. Which would you drive? Make the jump and do the voting thing!

No, not this Hammer Party , although the AMG Hammer came out around the same time as the Big Black album. We're talking about one of 21 American-built 1988 AMG "Hammer" Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars, which is up for sale with a Buy It Now of $89,999. Yes, even though this is a high-end, super-collectible factory musclecar, the seller feels compelled to do the "many nines" pricing routine more commonly associated with a clapped-out '86 Buick Somerset sitting on the Dollar Bill's Easy Autos lot with a Day-Glo "$1,999.99" sign on the windshield. But never mind that, because buying this car today is like buying an LS6 Chevelle 20 years ago; sure, it seems way overpriced now, but just wait another 20 years and see what happens! The only drawback here is the lack of the 32-valve 6-liter AMG engine, though the seller claims the 2-valve 5.6 is actually better. Either way, now that we're in a Hammer Party mood, make the jump to hear "Steelworker."...

When you hear about an all-original old car with low miles, you figure the clock's going to be showing something like 30,000 miles. But 1,410 freakin' miles on a 26-year-old 280ZX Turbo? Between the time we heard about this car and the time we started writing this post, a buyer sprained all his fingers punching the Buy It Now button and snared this time capsule for $29,000 (which is a deal, because the inflation-adjusted price of this car new comes to $37,169). Make the jump for even more photos. Thanks to FatBraff for the tip! [eBay Motors] galleryPost('LowMileZXTop', 6, '1410 Mile 280ZX Part 1'); Oh yeah, and if you liked the '82, the same seller also had this 9,092-mile '84 300ZX Turbo , which went for $28,000. galleryPost('LowMileZXJump', 18, '1410 Mile 280ZX Part 2');
