1950-1975
u won’t find many sub $3k BMW 3-series around from any year of production, the modern ones are propped up by the massively inflated “new” car prices and the older ones have become collectable classics. So it is nice to find one for a low price, even if it has some rust AND it “NEEDS WORK, may be minor or significant!”. How bad can it be? Find this 1982 BMW 320i E21 offered for $2500 in Uptown, NM via craigslist.
Perhaps I was a bit quick to judge the scenic middle California coastal town of Atascadero in my previous rant about the Jeep Cherokee with the chopped up bits. Perhaps I should not judge a book by its cover, an inmate by his straightjacket. The last car we featured in that small town was…well…strange, but […]
I would say that the driver of this next car is going to be told that he/she is going the wrong direction on the street, but I doubt the car will ever move since it is a “vintage” electric car. But the styling by Fischer-Price is unique enough to make this tempting. Find this 1965 […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a tiny, lightweight, two-seat sports car assembled in Coventry, UK from 1962-1980. A competitor of the Austin-Healey Sprite & MG Midget, the Spitfire was only available with a small inline four cylinder engine…but today’s example has been given an injection of Buick V6 power. Find this 1970 Triumph Spitfire offered for […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: Swapped out one turd of a motor for another. The later 3800’s were warp years better than the 1981 231 carb engine. Find this 1975 Triumph TR7 offered for $3900 in Middletown, RI via craigslist. From the seller: 1975 Triumph TR-7condition: goodcylinders: 6 cylindersdrive: […]
Larry Shinoda was the legendary automobile designer who was credited with the development of the original 69 Boss 302 Ford Mustang (and the Sting Ray Corvette when he was at GM). This next car is the final project that Shinoda worked on with Ford before he passed away in 1997 — you can read more […]
I’m all for custom graphics on the side of a vintage van, but I’m not so sure about this next one. The questionable aspect of recently legalized substances is not what strikes me as much as the use of the word juicy to describe the painted lady of the side of this thing. Remove that […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who calls it a “very obscure VW based kit car.” But I think this is not as obscure as you might think it is, because DT features Sterlings on a semi-frequent basis…not that that means much. We tend to feature obscure things because familiar things are…well…lame. […]
If you are in the market for a piece of vintage Mopar to cruise around the local weekend car shows, then this next car is a good choice. At first you might assume that the Fury II was the sucessor to the Fury I, but actually you could get a Fury I, Fury II, or […]
Instead of celebrating Cyber Stalking Saturday or whatever nonsense holiday big or small business has dreamt up to make us spend money on the Saturday after Thanksgiving…we will continue to celebrate Bracq Friday. If you stopped me and asked “how old is this next car?” — I would not be quick to say 43 years. […]
