Yahoo Autos Honda Civic Si, BMW F800GS, Porsche 911 Targa Limo: The Dopest Cars I Found For Sale Online
Y’know what I really don’t understand? Funko Pops. They’re collectible simply because the company decided they should be collectible — they don’t do anything, the raw materials aren’t worth anything, and they don’t even look particularly good. Wouldn’t you rather collect something worth owning?
Say, something that actually serves a function — a highly necessary one in most of the United States. Something that’s worth a fair amount on metal alone, let alone the fancier materials. Something that’s beautifully designed, interesting, and engaging. Rather than a hunk of big-headed plastic, wouldn’t you rather own one of the internet’s Dopest Cars?

2015 Ural CT - $14,000
When a vehicle ad opens with that vehicle’s name, you know you’re looking at something lovingly maintained. A vehicle that’s been named is one that’s been loved, cared for, spruced up to stay at its best. This, then, is no ordinary Ural — this is Zoya.
Do you name your cars? I never seem to settle on one before I get bored of the car itself and sell it off. Maybe my current BMW is deserving of a name, but I’ll have to wait for the right one to come along. You, on the contrary, do not — you can simply buy Zoya and have your named vehicle ready to go.
1972 Volkswagen Bugatti Replica - $7,500
The seller describes the make and model of this replica as a “VW Bugatti.” Really, you could make the argument that all Bugattis are VW Bugattis, but that only flies for the modern cars — this one is a replica of a vehicle from about two Bugatti corporations ago. You can thank the business world for that sentence.
But, as a replica, this is quite an interesting one. Volkswagen running gear, with its decades of enthusiasm and incredible scale of aftermarket parts, is likely more reliable than any period-correct Bugatti mill. If you want a retro racer that you could drive to work (almost) daily, this may be your best bet.
1999 Honda Civic Si Coupe - $12,500
It’s been a minute since we’ve had a good EM1 Civic Si here on Dopest. They were a fixture of the slides a few months ago, but fewer and fewer have been popping up for sale. Maybe every owner has simply been taking advantage of the summer driving season, going out and using their Sis rather than selling them. Can’t blame them for that one.
This particular Si, however, looks like it’s barely been driven at all. It has 170,000 miles, sure, but you wouldn’t guess it from the car’s condition. No fog on the headlights, not a speck of dirt in the interior or under the hood. If not for some wear on the steering wheel, you’d never guess this Civic was ever driven.
1954 Riley Sedan - $7,950
Trafficators! That’s right, this Riley has the most sought-after feature in all of Jalopdom: Illuminated turn signal flags that emerge from the pillars. You can keep your engines, wheels, and seats — all I need are trafficators.
You better be as enthusiastic for these little indicators as I am, because this Riley doesn’t have much else in terms of features. The engine is in pieces, in need of a new piston — and who knows what else, given that level of damage. The seller claims to have parts en route from England, but also isn’t sure that they’ll arrive. This is what we call “buying from the forums.”
2007 Subaru Forester XT - $17,500
I love modified car ads that give you zero detail on the work that’s been done. You get to go on a little adventure, reverse-engineering all the mods to figure out what’s been changed; like an I-Spy book for gearheads. Let’s play along on this Forester XT.
From this side shot, we see WRX wheels — meaning the stock 5x100 bolt pattern has been retained — but lowered suspension and a Cobb sticker on the rear window. The next photo shows us an STi-badged grille, possibly off the Japanese Forester STi that never made its way stateside. The rear has a classic Subaru “The world is flat” sticker, along with a suspiciously protruding exhaust. Perhaps that’s where the Cobb sticker came from.
Inside, things look bone stock aside from the Accessport — another contender for Cobb sticker source. But it’s the last phot, the engine bay, where things really get interesting. We see coilover top hats a Cobb intake, an aftermarket radiator, and — what’s that — an STi intercooler. Those don’t usually bolt up to lesser EJ engines, meaning this could be a genuine EJ257 swap. It’s clearly not a full STi drivetrain, given the wheels, but this Forester has likely seen some serious work.
1968 Chevrolet Camaro - $75,000
Hell yeah, brother. What happened to purple flames? Cars used to have purple flames over black paint. Now, muscle cars are so concerned about looking “girly” that they don’t do purple any more. We used to be a country, a proper country.
It’s just a color. A particularly good color, in my opinion, when it’s draped over the front end of a ‘68 Camaro. The seller calls these “Purple Ghost Flames” — does that not sound rad as hell? Bring back purple on cars. Please.
2013 BMW F800GS - $9,500
Same hat! This is nearly identical to my own F800GS — the same year, trim level, even the color is identical. Only this GS is wearing an extra four figures in mods, many of which I want on my bike. Wanna pick this one up, and tell me which ones are worth it?
This GS has Mitas enduro tires, rear side and top luggage racs, an aftermarket seat, paint protection stickers, crash bars, a skit pan, bar risers, hand guards, an $850 windshield, and plenty more. Also, no one buffed through the F800GS stickers to apply a vinyl wrap, so that’s a plus.
2001 Honda Odyssey - $3,200
Remember when minivans were unassuming? Compact, practical family haulers, that didn’t boast or pretend to anything else? I miss those days, before Siennas had Supra fenders and Pacificas could eclipse $60,000. I miss this old Odyssey.
