Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $45,000 Callaway Porsche 944?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $45,000 Callaway Porsche 944?-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

Only 23% of you felt that was really worth $100,000 yesterday, and value calculation really is a tough call on a presidential car when the ex-owner isn't even president yet (and there are no photos of him actually driving the thing). Today we're going to explore the concept of rarity; here we've got a seriously rare high-performance car, modified by a highly respected company better known for its work with Chevrolets than with Porsches…

Yesterday's low-mile Mazda RX-4 got our highest Nice Price Or Crack Pipe approval rating yet, with…

According to the seller, the '83 Callaway Turbo 944 made 284 horsepower, nearly double the stock figure of 143, which gave it outrageous-for-its-time performance. In a car weighing 2,675 pounds (or about 200 pounds less than the current Boxster), that's going to be a lot of fun, and the seller points out that it ought to be legal for vintage racing. Only 20 of these little beasts were made, and the seller feels that makes it worth 45 American grand. Seriously cool car, heavy-duty price. What do you think?

For $6,000, This SBC-Powered Toyota Lets You Take a Quick Dump
For $6,000, This SBC-Powered Toyota Lets You Take a Quick Dump
When you were a kid, your Tonka® dump truck was powered by imagination and a good shove. Today's Toyota Dumper Mini-truck, on the other hand, is powered by a Chevy V8. Oh what a feeling! Nice as it was, yesterday's got dumped on for its price and somewhat humble mechanicals,...

For $4,950, It's a Scorpion That Rocks
For $4,950, It's a Scorpion That Rocks
The Lancia Scorpion's greatest foible was that it wouldn't rock you like a hurricane. Today's Turbo brings a wind of change, but will its price have you saying there's no one like you? There was definitely no one like you if, by you, it was meant a non Crack Pipe...

For $5,500, Get a Wing och en bön
There's a reason the Swedes didn't invent Buffalo Wings, and you won't find a Hëutters in Stockholm. Despite that disconnect, today's Volvo sports a wing and is kind of hot, but is its price appetizing? Did you know that in the movies, when they need to have a scorpion crawling...

For $79,500, Shoulda', Woulda', ‘Cuda
Based on her high school basketball exploits, Alaska's former governor was given the nickname of Sarah Barracuda. Like Palin, today's Plymouth Barracuda may master the rebound, but will its price keep it in the backcourt? There's no indication that Sarah Palin ever drove one of her nick-namesake Plymouths, although its...

For $6,500, Catch the CRX Du Soleil
Until replaced by the lugubrious Del Sol, Honda's CRX played the part of spunky younger brother to the Prelude as the company's sportsters. Today's turbocharged CRX demonstrates that sibling rivalries can be a good thing. A-Bee-Em-ination was as far as many of you got in describing your opinions on yesterday's...

For $6995, You Can Make This Bone Stock GS-R Integral to Your Life
Talk Like a Pirate Day, sadly comes but once a year. With today's Acura however, you can swashbuckle year round, as it's a GS-Arrrr. There isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate a good dump, but for six-large, hardly anyone appreciated yesterday's , even with its dumper bed. That fact was reflected...
