Two-Grand MR2: A Half-Finished RS200 Rally Homage Needs a Finisher

An unfinished 1993 Toyota MR2, heavily altered to resemble Ford's RS200 rally car and listed for $2,200 on Craigslist, looks the part from afar but is far from complete: the MR2's engine may not run, the bodywork is a rough homage, and substantial finishing would be required. While the RS200's rally legacy adds allure, the seller's price hinges on sweat equity, making it a risky buy for most but potentially rewarding for a dedicated fixer.

Rare Lamborghini Countach Listed for $3.8M on Craigslist

A new Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 is up for sale on Craigslist for $3.8 million. The limited-production supercar has only 96 kilometers on the odometer and still has protective plastic on the seats. The car pays homage to the original Countach LP400 with a vintage-inspired design, but it's an Aventador underneath the skin. While Craigslist has been a go-to marketplace for car enthusiasts for decades, selling something as special and limited as a Countach seems better suited for something like duPont Registry.
