1970 Hydrogen Powered AMC Gremlin - This is really interesting.

From the eBay listing: "This is one of the first modern day Hydrogen-powered automobile experiments, developed by a team at UCLA. The car was a collaborative effort with donated components from General Motors, Ford Motor Company, George Barris (http://www.barris.com ), Hooker, Edelbrock, Union Carbide and Impco to give this vehicle a 68 mile range! George Barris provided the roll cage that doubles as a luggage rack! There is a Ford BOSS 351 engine also.

Yes, its one of a kind. It won the overall Urban Vehicle Design Competition in 1972, a one-time event that brought together 64 North American universities in a contest to see who could build the most innovative vehicle.
"

The seller leaves a link to a 2004 Wired magazine article. It's worth reading, you can find it here.

Talk about a car that needs to be restored and brought to car shows...

This car has never been titled or registered in the US and comes only with its British paperwork.

2000 Ferrari 360 - Today is my son's 11th birthday. I called him and asked him what car he would choose if he could have any car in the world for his birthday.

He replied "A Ferrari".

Looks like I'll need to start selling ads (and lots of them) on this site.

Happy birthday, Jack! This one (the post, not the car!) is for you...
