Where do I start? Flames? Teardrops? White walls? Spinners? Lake pipes? (had to duckduckgo that last one). And are those cop spotlights? WHAT AM I LOOKING AT???!?!??! Why does this car exist and from what galaxy did it travel via wormhole to visit ours? Find this 1991 Ford Festiva offered for $7500 in New Oxford, […]
Hey, this is my new ride, it’s a Tojan. I’m sorry, did you just say it was a Toejam? No, not toe jam…Tojan. It’s like a portmanteau of trojan and removing the r from words where you shouldn’t have an r, but I digress. Roughly 150 examples of the Pontiac Tojan were built by Knudsen […]
The Fiat Cinquecento should not be confused with the Fiat 500, because never the twain shall meet. The 500 was the original Italian rear-engine minicar built from 1957-1975 and later rebooted as a front-drive Mini imitator in 2007…BUT the Cinquecento was this strange middle child built from 1991 through 1998 in post-Soviet Poland and sold […]
This next car comes as an auction from my favorite place to find strangely donated cars — JDC in Orange, CA…Seriously, who donates a ’63 Dodge Polara ragtop with a 318V8 and push button automatic? Sure, it’s got some crusty rusty spots and a single circuit non-assisted brake setup…but this thing is worth thousands of […]
I have to admit that I get some heartburn when seeing a 90s Civic that is bidding for almost the original MSRP…but these cars were ridden hard and put away wet by the Fast n Furious crowd, so finding a stock Civic Hatch with a manual gearbox and sweet teal green paint…win win win. Find […]
The Citroën 2CV, or “deux chevaux” (two horses), was the epitome of French eccentricity, proudly boasting a design that seemed to defy the very laws of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and fromage dynamics. However, enter the 2CV Burton, the rebellious offspring of the 2CV family tree. This isn’t your average quirky French ride; it’s the 2CV […]
On ebay with only 20 minutes to go and bidding at $4150, I feel that this 1980 AMC Spirit Liftback offered in Burton, MI is a sweet ride for a small price. See a better way to live the AMC 80s dream? tips@dailyturismo.com
The third generation of Pontiac’s standalone Catalina model was release in 1965 with flowing sheet metal featuring Coke Bottle profiles — a design element that was particularly cool looking on the giant family style wagon. The full sized GM platform was shared with the Pontiac Ventura, Oldsmobile 88, and Buick LeSabre, but power came from […]
When someone calls their Corvette a “FlatVette”, you instantly think of the Jerry Palmer and Dave McLellan designed C4 Corvette that is the flattest of all Vettes. However, today’s FlatVette comes from the C3 body style…complete with the swooping fenders and haunches you’d expect from the Stingray. However, today’s Flat comes from under the hood […]
This next car comes as a tip from Art who writes: Got a welder? A manual v70r for $2k?? Yep, it needs some work, but potentially a diamond in the rough If the rust isn’t toooooo bad. All I can add is…run…away…and then back after you find a car to swap that powertrain into. Find […]
