The Three-Wheeled Domino's Pizza Delivery Car That Time Forgot Is For Sale
Once upon a time, we thought cars of the future were going to look just like this Tritan A2 three-wheeler: pointy and spaceship-like, straight out of comic books and The Jetsons . The future has sadly proven to be far less whimsical than that, but you can still live out that fantasy by scooping up one of the 10 Tritan Domino's Pizza delivery vehicles that just wound up for sale on Bring a Trailer.
This is actually the second time in the history of The Drive that we've covered one of these things. The first was way back in 2018, when what appears to be a different chassis (that one was supposedly #5, whereas this is #7, per the listing) hit Facebook Marketplace for an eye-watering $23,000 . That car had a slightly different livery, with a Domino's logo on the wing and no text on the side. The seller of this particular car says the decals seen on it were recently applied and not the originals, which explains why they're absent in some images.
The Tritan A2 was originally designed by a man by the name of Douglas Amick, who started his Tritan Ventures company in 1984 and promptly sold ten of these things to the pizza chain. Normal A2s—if you could ever call them such a thing—had a rear seat behind the driver's, but Domino's version had a pizza warmer. The A2 was an evolution of Amick's Tritan Aero 135, which supposedly achieved a drag coefficient of 0.135, to explain its namesake.

As the seller tells it, Domino's removed the pizza warmers from its fleet before selling them off, which is unfortunate, though surely a determined and clever buyer could rectify that with a little elbow grease. Power was originally supplied by a 440cc Savkel rotary, which was exchanged, at some point, for a 670cc Predator V-Twin connected to a CVT. You get both engines in the sale.
This car resides in Michigan, has 40 listed miles, and the current bid stands at a far more reasonable $4,500 with six days remaining. That's sure to go up over the next week, but $4,500 is at least in the ballpark of reality as to what one of these barely usable, funky, fiberglass contraptions should cost. Bring a Trailer
Anyone who has seen a TV commercial or YouTube ad in the last decade has been forced to sit through a Domino's spot, and it's clear the company favors offbeat attempts at viral ad campaigns to get people talking. If these Tritan trikes prove anything, it's that Domino's has been hard at that for a very, very long time.

Hidden for a Decade, 1969 Camaro RS Resurfaces After Facebook Marketplace Lead
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Stored for years, a 1969 Camaro RS with intact Rally Sport hardware emerges from Pennsylvania storage and heads for a full restoration. A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS tucked away for years has been pulled from storage and loaded for restoration after a days-long chase that began with a Facebook Marketplace listing. Parker, the host of the Backyard Barn Finds channel, said he negotiated with the seller for several days after spotting the ad, knowing solid Rally Sport–package cars from 1969 rarely surface in restorable condition. This example, originally finished in Burnished Brown over a white interior, still carries many RS-specific cues: vacuum-operated headlamp covers, the correct RS tail lamps and trim, and intact exterior brightwork. The car's backstory spans the country. Built in California, the Camaro eventually migrated to Pennsylvania, where it was stored and purposely kept out of public view to avoid constant offers, according to the seller. Despite nearly a decade off the road, the structure proved better than expected. The rockers and trunk pan presented well during inspection, while rust was largely confined to typical spots on the floor pan and rear quarter panels. Under the hood, the original 350-cubic-inch small-block has been replaced by a 305, but the buyer and seller emphasized that RS components and identification details support the car's provenance as a genuine Rally Sport. Old paperwork unearthed during the visit added an eerie twist: a newspaper classified dated March 14, 1990, listing the Camaro for $600. Parker examined the car on March 14, 2025 — exactly 35 years to the day. Before the car could be moved, a broken tie rod had to be repaired; the failure had the front wheels fighting each other. With the fix completed, the Camaro rolled freely into daylight for the first time in years. The glass is intact, the original keys accompany the car, and key RS hardware remains in place — all positives for a comprehensive restoration. First-generation Camaros with the RS package remain in strong demand thanks to their distinctive hidden headlamps, unique rear lighting and trim upgrades. While engine swaps can complicate originality claims, a solid body and complete RS equipment often carry significant weight with restorers and collectors. On this example, the combination of a straight shell, present-and-accounted-for RS components and period paperwork argues for a full, sympathetic rebuild rather than a part-out or minimal recommissioning. Parker closed the deal and trailered the Camaro to join the Backyard Barn Finds stable, calling it one of the more compelling discoveries he has made in recent seasons. The plan, he said, is to catalog the car as received, verify tags and components, and map out a restoration that preserves its RS identity while addressing structural and mechanical needs accumulated during long-term storage. For now, the Camaro's return to daylight marks the first chapter in a second life — and a reminder that, even in the age of digital listings, some of the best finds are still hiding a few miles down the road.
