There is something about the combination of a sweet paint job and terrible photos that just kills it for me. Yes. Pixel count in the toilet. That’s a problem, unless you’ve got a Duster with a tri-tone paint scheme that came from the 70s, and now I’m interested. Oh crud. The seller is visually impaired […]
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that $8k is a lot of money to spend on an aging Mercedes-Benz sedan…and that you think perhaps you want a cheap project version of the same car. Mmmm. That is an interesting idea, but I can tell you (from personal experience) that you are going […]
This next car comes with some questions. I can guess at a few, but not all. First, it isn’t a Falcon that’s been Ranchero’d, but it is a factory Falcon Ranchero which was something Ford sold from 1960 through 1965. However, the sellers says that the engine, transmission, and suspension from a 98 Ford Explorer […]
I’ve never owned a Beetle, but if I did, it would look something like this next one. I know, the front end is a bit cross-eyed, and the interior is skuzzy, but there is something about the Star Wars themed two-tone paint and the big wheels/tires that makes this thing pop. It probably makes some […]
The E36/7 generation of BMW Z3 roadster might have had a passing resemblance to a Mazda Miata, but don’t assume it is a hairdresser’s car because the M version is nuts. Today’s Z3 is an M Roadster with the earlier S52 inline-6 that might only makes 240 horsepower in US spec, but these are not […]
The expression “project car” conjures up images of hard work and some bucks to provide material and parts, but most of my experience with project cars has been limited to getting an old car back on the road. Maybe some paint/body repair. Perhaps an engine rebuild. But this next car. I’m not sure if it […]
The Citroën 2CV was a French “people’s car” that provided simple mobility to the unwashed masses, with a staggering production that lasted from 1948 through 1990. However, that didn’t mean you couldn’t take an existing 2CV and cover it in spiffy bodywork and make it a three wheeled thing called the “Lomax”. Find this 1991 […]
The Puma Spyder was a convertible version of the Puma GTE, which was a low volume oddball built first on the Brazilian Volkswagen Kharmann-Ghia chassis and later the Volkswagen Brasilia chassis. It was the brainchild of Brazilian racer and businessman Genaro “Rino” Malzoni and sold in limited numbers in its home market, but a few […]
The Dodge Power Wagon was introduced just after the end of World War II as Dodge’s alternative to Ford’s 4X4 truck for mostly military uses. However, Dodge introduced a light duty version of the Power Wagon starting in 1957 that was produced through 1980 that was technically a Town Wagon Power Wagon which may not […]
The Saab 9000 was launched in the 1984 as the Trollhättan based car company’s foray into executive car business. Styling was a two-punch combination of Björn Envall and Giorgetto Giugaro, and today’s example is the “CD” sedan version. These old Saabs aren’t getting less rare, so you’d better get them before they become cool and […]
