We don't normally post cars without pics, but this '82 Mustang is worth checking out. This Mach1 swap isn't just the motor and trans, but the complete interior as well. The builder spent many, many hours getting all of the interior panels and switches to not only fit, but function as if it were stock. A few videos have been posted by the seller outlining the condition of the car but you never get to see the overall condition of the vehicle. Up close, everything looks to be fantastic and well worth the asking price. Find it here, in Vail, AZ, for $13,500.
1982 Ford Mustang, Complete Mach1 Swap
This Celica looks to be in very good condition with a rust free and straight body. The motor has been swapped with a 4AGE Silvertop that should provide plenty of power and reliability over stock. This is a strong setup for someone looking to daily drive something with great gas mileage, good performance, and a fantastic vintage Japanese look. Find it here, in San Diego, CA, for $7,500.

We've always felt that the first generation Cougar is one of the most under-appreciated muscle/pony cars of the late 60's. It's a more luxurious option to the Mustang and has wonderful proportions. We think this car could look very interesting if done in a pro-touring style with some classic Japanese car influences like bolt on fender flares and matte black Panasport type wheels. In our opinion, this car shares a similar silhouette and body lines to the Hakosuka Skyline. This particular car looks like a good base for a crazy(ridiculous) project like the one we have envisioned or is perfect for a loving restoration. Find it here, in the San Gabrial Valley, CA, for $5,500.
1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator
If the last time we posted a LS3 powered E36 M3, you were disappointed that it was on the wrong coast, then here's your chance. We really like this motor/chassis combo and feel that is car is built just as well as the other one we posted. The engine bay is super clean and the rest of the car looks to be a beautiful example of an E36 M3. Find it here in Orlando, FL, for $22,500.
1997 BMW M3, LS3 Swap
For some people, the S14 that comes stock in the E30 M3 just doesn't have enough power or torque for their needs. This is the perfect project for that kind of person. Two owners ago wanted to stuff the V10 from a M5 in between those strut towers, which would be lovely, but plans changed and the car was sold before the project could really even start. As it sits now, it's a complete E30 M3 sans motor and trans. This is a great opportunity for someone to create their dream M3 with a very small amount of work. There is no mention of title status so that would be our first question to ask the seller. Find it here, in El Monte, CA, for $8,500.
1988 BMW M3 Roller
If you're looking for an investment car, chances are you're looking for something that is popular and just so happens to be affordable. This '68 Mustang Fastback should fit the bill. The paint is photo friendly and the car comes with a very desirable 302/4 speed drive line combo. The ad does elude to the motor, trans, and paint being original, but that would need to be confirmed with the seller. There is some rust, but nothing serious. These cars have always been some of the most desirable American classics on the road and we've always wanted to have one in the Carticular garage. Find it here, in Costa Mesa, CA, for $15,500. We don't think you'll find a better deal on a driving '68 Fastback.
1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
We've said it before and we'll say it again, V8 swapped 510's are absolutely insane... and we love them. We know it's wrong to completely overpower a short wheel base car with massive amounts of low end torque and horse power, but Pete Brock drives a V8 swapped 510. The Father of Datsun racing can't be wrong. This particular 510 has had an entire book of performance parts and mods thrown at it including moving the firewall and engine back, coil-over suspension, and full roll cage. You probably can already hear us whining about the automatic, but we really would love to see a 5 speed in this thing. Find it here, in Willow Glen, CA, for $6,000 OBO. The seller is willing to let it go without the motor and trans for less if you're thinking of swapping something else into the car.
1970 Datsun 510, 327ci Swap
This '94 Mustang looks like a great base for someone who wants to drive to work in their race car. There isn't much done to the motor, so the stock 5.0 should be running for quite awhile and the chassis has received several upgrades to include an eight point roll cage as well as after market suspension. We'd like to know what the "aftermarket suspension" includes, but either way this is a good deal at $3,500. Find it here, in Las Vegas, NV.
1994 Ford Mustang, Weekend Racer
There is very little information in this ad, but the basics are strong enough to warrant a post about it. WRX 2.0 turbo, WRX 5 speed transmission, WRX dash, and very strong. We'd like to know the year of the donor car as well as a receive more pics. From the outside, this looks like a great deal. Find it here, in Hillsboro, OR, for $7,500.
2000 Subarau 2.5RS Impreza, WRX Swap
We're pretty sure that there were no roots style supercharger manufacturers for Datsuns, let alone the 510. Someone went through some pretty amazing fabrication work to stick a blower on this L20B and we like it. Aside from the crazy cool supercharged L20B this car has fenderflares (they look like they're from a MK1 rabbit), a welded diff, 5 speed trans(!), S2000 brake master cylinder, and slicks. There are some other cool parts in this build, but the car still needs to be finished. It looks like this car was being setup to be a drag car so there may need to be some fine tuning if you're looking to do another application. Brake lines, wiring, and new custom rear wheel wells need to be installed. Find it here, in Watsonville, CA, for an amazing $2,400.
Datsun 510, Roots Blown L20B
This Mustang looks like a great deal for someone who's just looking to have some fun in a vintage muscle car for cheap. The 4 valve 289 four speed combo is sure to put a grin on your face while cruising around town or on your favorite twisty road. The car looks straight but because of the salvage title we would inspect it very closely. We love the vintage Recaro seats and the car comes with an uninstalled four point roll bar for those of you who want to turn this into a more serious performance car. Find it here, in Sacramento, CA, for $8,500.
1965 Ford Mustang Coupe, 289 Four Speed
We look forward to the day when 2011 and up Mustang GT's litter our scrap yards like Fox body Mustangs do today. It'd be nice to see these motors be more affordable and used in more swaps. We won't call this car a swap, but we love the application of a new 5.0 in a an old roadster body. Check out the auction to see pics of the glorious chassis and all the amazing suspension work the Factory 5 puts into their cars. We've got a thing for cantilevered/pushrod suspension in unexpected places. This car should be an absolute screamer on the street and track. We'd daily this roadster in a heart beat. That's not to say this car doesn't need some tlc at the moment. Judging from the pics, the frame hasn't been powder coated or painted yet and it looks like the body hasn't been sealed either. We're curious to see what this car goes for in it's current condition. Find it here, in Gainesville, FL, with current bidding at $24,100 reserve-not-met and 2 days remaining.
Factory 5 '33 Roadster, Coyote Powered
We've seen some gnarly wide bodied cars in our time on this internet. Some great, some made from cardboard. This Rx-7 is one of the nicest we've seen. The kit makes it look like it's straight off of Suzuka circa 1981. We'd like to see the wheels pushed out a little further to fill out the arches to their maximum potential, but that's a very minor complaint. This is a very cool looking car that is sure to turn some heads. Find it here, in Clearview, WA, for $8,000 OBO.

If you've been following our site for awhile now, we're sure you can predict our likes and dislikes about this car. We love the LS1 swap and how clean it is inside and out. The first thing we'd do with the car in our hands is put the fuel injection back on the car, swap in a 6 speed, and probably do a big brake upgrade. This is a great start to our ideal version of a 2nd gen Camaro, but it's still pretty awesome as it sits. Even though the car is carbureted, it still has a very powerful, light weight motor sitting up front that you could enjoy as-is for a very long time. Find it here, in Vallejo, CA, for $15,000.
1970 Camaro LS1 Swap
Despite the 530I's nameplate, this car isn't equipped with the expected 3.0 inline 6, but a 3 litre V8 that produces about 210hp and 210tq. This car looks to be in good condition and is equipped with a fairly rare manual transmission. The stance is perfect and there isn't much that we don't like about it. About the only thing that we would like to see changed is a set of catalytic converters and a black or dark brown interior. Find it here, in Richmond, TX, for $8,500.
