1950-1975
The Pontiac Firebird was the result of GM killing John Z DeLorean’s Corvette hunting Banshee, with Pontiac getting a corporate cousin version of the Camaro. From the ashes of the Banshee, the Firebird arose and it has always been special, but today’s version was turned up to 11 by a dealership in Arizona that created […]
Do you know what is better than a Bugatti kit car built on a VW chassis offered for fair price at an estate sale? Do ya? Yeah. Two Bugatti replicars offered for a reasonable price. According to the seller there is a large collection of other memorabilia and junk from someone named Mark Behar, who […]
Today we bring some good news to the classic car market, good news for buyers at least. If you scan the recent auction results over at Hemmings auctions, you will find some decent buys in the completed auctions section (like this ‘86 Porsche 944 that sold for $8k). Is this an indication that some of […]
I generally don’t post many Lada or VAZ built cars, not because of the whole Ukraine-Russia war thing that’s going on right now, but because I personally haven’t had any experience with them and wouldn’t typically recommend a car designed by Fiat in the 60s and assembled behind the Iron Curtain in the 1980s. I’m […]
The 2nd generation Oldsmobile Cutlass was part of GM’s Legendary mid-sixties A-body lineup that included the Olds 4-4-2, Olds Vista Cruiser, Buick Skylark, Buick Sportwagon, Buick Special, Chevy Chevelle, Chevy El Camino, Pontiac GTO, Pontiac Tempest, and Pontiac LeMans. The A-Body was an intermediate sized car with a full perimeter frame, a four-link coil rear […]
The 5th generation of Volkswagen’s Jetta platform is known by Dub-fans as the Mark V and was only sold for the 2006 through 2010 model years. It used more CAN connectors throughout the chassis in an attempt to reduce the number of wires running throughout the chassis and fight some of the reputation VW had […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
