It was only a matter of time before a Mazda MX-5 Miata appeared in the daily turismo. Before all the naysayers start calling it a hair dresser’s car and commenting on how slow it is – try driving a Z06 fast on the street and see how quickly you get into ‘take me to jail […]
In the 2nd edition of cheapskate V8 swap sunday – I would like to present another car that probably was conceived after a few too many beers. This uspecified model year Chevy Astrovan with V8 swap is offered for $3700 via craigslist in St Louis, MO. The Astro looks to be lowered and riding on […]
Welcome to cheapskate swapped V8 sunday at dailyturismo. Our first offering is a 1982 Jaguar XJS located in Chippewa, Wisconsoda…(ok, I made that last part up, but does it really matter where it is – lets just say the great northern state of Dakoconsodaho) for a bargain price of $2300 via craigslist. Originally this car […]
We at the dailyturismo tend to shun any kit cars that resemble true vintage production cars. Its not for some absurd respect for Carrol Shelby’s final wishes – but it is because we believe that if you want a car that looks like a Shelby Cobra or Porsche 550 – you should buy one, not […]
No – not another damn BMW….ok, fine, you try and find another manufacturer who made sporty, clutch equipped, rear wheel drive cars with questionable reliability in mid 90s and I will post them…in the meantime, expect to see some entries from Bavaria! This 1991 BMW M5 is located in Winnipeg, MB, Canada and is currently […]
There’s something to be said for a simple, solid, rear-wheel drive, 4-cylinder, manual trans car. Plenty of room to wrench under the hood, with no fussy transaxle to get in your way. Economical as a daily driver yet entertaining in the occasional autocross, parking lot slalom, or rainy-day dorifto on public streets during your morning […]
The BMW e31 platform was launched in 1989 as a high end successor to the e21 6-series. For the price of a few options on a brand new BMW you can own a used V12 equipped 850i like this 1992 model located in Long Beach, CA for $9999 asking (via craigslist). The 850 was a […]
The dailyturismo really loves wagons. Its like a pickup truck for people with normal sized glands. What is better than a standard run-of-the-mill 4 door wagon is a 2 door wagon. This 1965 Ford Falcon 2door wagon can be found in Ranch Cucamonga, CA via craigslist at an asking price of $5500. The Ford Faclon […]
When the second generation Toyota MR2 was launched in 1989 – it offered Ferrari looks with Fiat pricing. Mid-engine Runabout 2seater was thankfully shortened to MR2 to reduce the cost of badges on the car and the ‘mister 2’ is known as ‘2’ to his friends. This 1993 MR2 is one of the sought after […]
When mobsters need a car they always look for something 4-door, large trunk, black on black, big engine, slushbox auto (easier to shoot at other mobsters when driving if your not trying to shift) – and this 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 fits the bill. Its even already been stolen (probably by mobsters) and recovered by […]
