1950-1975
In 2015 Ford announced that they were returning to the 24 Hrs of LeMans in 2016 with an EcoBoost V6 powered racer to compete in the LM GTE Pro class. Early races were marked by the typical issues you’d expect from a brand new race car, but Chip Ganassi Racing scored their first win last […]
A stock SAAB Sonett is a loony car, powered by 2-stroke or V4 mated to the front wheels with an Italian inspired design created/executed by a group of Swedes. The 3rd generation Sonett was a strange looking vehicle when new, but somehow a customizer turned this one into even MORE of a head turner spit-taker. […]
Oh Fiberfab. Where would we be without your hauntingly beautiful customs that look mean but are no faster than a Bangladesh Tuk Tuk? I’ll tell you where, in a world with less joy, less feigned extravagance, a world where I couldn’t buy a GT40 replica with a 20 dollar bill and get change. Find this […]
I’ve mentioned in the past that some cars are like Pringles, once an engine pops, you can’t stop buying more parts cars. Owners of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle are prime offenders, probably because the cost to buy a parts car is considerably less than the sum of their parts, but it also spreads to classic […]
The Jamaican was another quasi home-built kit-car from Bud Goodwin’s Fiberfab, makers of the fabulous Aztec, and fantastic Banshee. According to sales literature, the Jamaican used a donor chassis from a Austin-Healey, Triumph TR, MGA or VW to roll its Ferrari-esq shape around. Find this 1958 Fiberfab Jamaican project offered for $4,500 in Pleasant View, […]

The Aztec II is a model of kit car sold by Fiberfab, a small kit manufacturer founded in 1964 by Warren “Bud” Goodwin that according to its website is still in business. Unfortunately the website was last updated in 2012 with some note about an upcoming 2013 model…so much for the Fiberfab revival. Anyway, if […]
The Fiat 850 was a funky rear-engined classic available as a sedan (berlina), sport coupe, familiare (bus), spider and wagon. We’ve featured a number of these rear-engined 850s, because they offer the vintage charm of a much more expensive vehicle. Find this 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Coupe for sale in Kent, WA currently bidding for […]
The Fiat 850 was a sub-compact 2-door built in Italy from 1964-1973 and was roughly the size of an Austin Mini. The water cooled 850 is somewhat overshadowed by the air-cooled and quirky Fiat 500 (cinquecento) but rarely seen in the wild today. Find this 1968 Fiat 850 Berlina for sale in Sunland, CA for […]
We at the daily turismo would like to apologize for the 1978 Firebird we posted the other day – it is a horrible car, slow, high miles, bad ad and non-numbers matching. To make amends – we are proud to present this 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am located in Glen Ellyn, IL, for sale at […]
