Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $45,000 Callaway Porsche 944?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $45,000 Callaway Porsche 944?-September 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 $19,900, high sierra
For $19,900, high sierra
Canada is often marginalized as being ‘America's hat.' However, if they allow cars like today's Sierra Cosworth up there, you might just want to change that insult to America's helmet. What, you wouldn't spend $40,000 for a ? That was the not so shocking result yesterday as the imitation Italian...

The Lamborghini Countach is perhaps the all-time most uncompromising car for speed and jaw dropping appearance, and one today can set you back six figures. Today's Kitborghini lets you have all that... at a compromise. Yesterday's really fluffed up your collective merkin, as evidenced by its 73% Nice Price win...

For $9,800, on Dasher! On... Um, Dasher!
Legend has it that years after the end of WWII, Japanese soldiers were still turning up on remote Pacific islands, unaware of hostility's end. Similarly, today's diesel Dasher is a refugee from another era, but does its price mean war? Yesterday's may have been right-hand drive, but 54% of felt...

For $4,800, nola contendere this 911 (UPDATED - Scam)
We began the week with a Porsche, so it seems only fitting that end it with one as well. This one's a N'awlins' 911, and you might find its price is ripe for a Louisiana purchase. Here's your Jalopnik tip of the week- when seeking someone to emulate for the...

Like many kids, you may have once imagined that under your bed lived a monster which one day would eat you. Today's Miata is a monster that lives in the garage, but does its price bite? can enliven nearly any dish, however no amount of spice would have made yesterday's...

For $22,500, Pick up one share of birkin stock.
Originally feted for its added lightness, the Lotus Seven has always been a heavyweight of the homage car business. Today's Birkin is just one of a bunch, but will its price make this Seven the one? What's in a number? Well, if that number happens to be 7, then a...
