Cuba's eBay

So you're looking for a second car to tool around in on weekends.

You want something that will impress your friends. Like an old Soviet-era Volga 21. But you can't seem to find one in Miami.

Well, cheer up. There's one listed (with the original engine!) on Revolico.com that's for sale in Cuba. And for some reason there's a Miami contact.

Revolico is Cuba's version of eBay and Craigslist, all rolled into one.

The ads while straight to the point, are also poignant and offer a snapshot of the resiliance of the Cuban people.

Like this ad offering to trade a 1953 Ford for a smaller car:

1953 FORD WITH VOLGA 24 ENGINE AND A SPARE ENGINE, VOLGA DIFFERENTIAL, 5-SPEED TOYOTA TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS RENTED EVERY DAY. I AM LOOKING FOR A SMALL CAR TO SPEND THE REST OF WHAT IS LEFT OF MY LIFE. I WANT SOMETHING MODERN. CALL MY WIFE NEREIDA OR ME, GREGO, AT 505722. MORON, CIEGGO DE AVILA. IF YOU HAVE A YARIS I WILL SWAP WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU SOME MONEY.

And here's someone who wants to trade their house for a car.

And of course there's a section for hook-ups.
