And Dave, the guy who writes JaCG is a personal friend of mine whose taste in cars are really as weird as his writings would lead you to believe.
I've had the dubious honor of keeping/getting many of these automotive oddities running over the past 25 years or so.

Article about an engine conversion on a 308 AND a post by Ferrari Bubba!
It was one of his emails forwarded to the Ferrari list that introduced me to
Just a Car Geek in the first place. So, enjoy, y'all.
All the best,

1981 6 Cylinder Ferrari 308
- We've all seen Fieros that have been made to look like Ferraris. This
has to be a first... Here we have a Ferrari that has been made to perform
like a Fiero. The seller has replaced the Ferrari engine with a GM 2.8
liter V6.
I don't even know what to say about this. My friend,
Jeff, sent me the link to this in an e-mail he titled, "Oh, But Why?" I
have no idea.

![]() 1967 Intermeccanica Torino /
Italia - Now this is cool.
This is an Italian car that came with an American engine. A big Ford
V8.
I wrote about an Intermeccanica Italia / Torino coupe back in
January. I included a bit of history about the car and the companies that
produced it. You can find the post here.
I've
seen a few of these at car shows. Believe it or not, they are even more
attractive in person than they are in pictures. This is just a gorgeous
car.

![]() 1963 VW Type 34 "Razor Edge"
Karmann Ghia - In last
week's "Weekend Quickies" I featured a Type 34 Karmann Ghia that was
sitting in a junkyard in Colorado. Here's one in much better
condition.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, these cars were never
sent to the US. I have no idea why. They are very nice looking
cars.
This one is in overall good condition. Best of all, it's rust
free.
Located in El Mirage, AZ, click
here to see the eBay listing.
A big thanks to JaCG reader,
Manny, for sending me the link to this car.
