The Geo Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick) was a small SUV built in a Canadian factory as a joint venture between GM and Suzuki. The Tracker was actually built on a rugged truck frame and certified as a light truck and the only thing wrong with it is the anemic 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine. Todays example is […]
When I first saw the details on this next car, I thought “wow, that’s a lotta miles for a 2007″…but then I pondered more and thought “that’s a lotta car for $8500”. The 4th generation Lexus LS (internally known as the XF40 at Toyota) has a 4.6 liter UR-series V8 that pushes 375 smooth horsepower […]
I’m not sure where to begin with this next car, because there is a boat load of stuff to unpack. First, this is a Vauxhall Chevette, which means it left a factory in Bedfordshire, Cheshire, or Quito…UK, UK, and Ecuador respectively. However, if you think that this was just a European built Chevette, you would […]
I’m probably one of the bigger fans of the Mark VII Lincoln that you’ll find around, but I’m having a hard time with the asking price on this next example. YES, it is one of the cleanest looking Mark VII (1983-1992) you’ll find around with a surprisingly low 34k miles on the odometer and almost […]
The International Harvester C-series trucks appeared in 1961 with the Travelette, which was a crew-cab 4-door pickup truck that featured a thoroughly modern chassis and suspension setup that put the body of the cab 4 inches lower than the previous generation. This meant a more car-like ride and a huge transmission hump. Find this 1962 […]
The Paul Bracq designed E23 generation BMW 7-series was released in 1977, right in the middle of the malaise era when American companies were trading performance for float and fancy stickers. Domestic cars might have offered luxury in the form of a vinyl top or total isolation from the road, but the German version of […]
We posted that last Mustang because it seemed like good deal for a vintage Mustang, but that was before I stumbled on this next thing. Well, it feels like a two Mustang day. But I feel like I’ve seen this car before. We’ve certainly featured some Mustang Wagons in the past…and those flowers in the […]
Ford made a million Mustangs in the first 18 months of production, a record that stands to this day in the world of vehicle sales and production. For years those vintage Mustangs have been an easy way to get into the classic car hobby as the supply far outran the demand for a 30 or […]
Back in the 1990s, if you wanted respect on the wild streets of Mira Mesa (a sleepy little suburban hamlet just North of NAS Miramar, which was the original home of Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School) you needed to take whatever base boat anchor engine was in your Civic/Accord/Whatever and drop in something with […]
Cadillac didn’t build wagons in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s…in fact, the first factory wagon offering from Cadillac from the modern era is the 2010 CTS SportWagon, but you wouldn’t know that given the number of “coach-built” Caddiwagons you’ll find passing between buyers and sellers on ebay or craigslist or whatever. The fact that […]
