1975-1980
I know that a Fiat X1/9 has something like 70 horsepower…but it is a mid-engine Italian car and today’s example has one of the sweetest sets of wheels I’ve ever had the opportunity to put my eyes on. So if your idea of a perfect Sunday drive involves driving like a Sunday driver…then this is […]
What is better than an original American classic from the 70s with a 4-speed and loaded options? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It doesn’t matter that cars from a few years before had more power, because they are less refined, and it also doesn’t matter that cars from later years were better, because they are ugly. Don’t […]
I saw this next car and sprayed my screen with cheap Trader Joes wine; “Holy cow batman, that’s a lotta cash for a late malaise era Cadillac with non-Northstar power“. But the condition is really outstanding for a Caddy from this era…so maybe one man’s lemon is another man’s limoncello liqueur? I dunno, but I’m […]
In 1970 Pontiac introduced their revamped Firebird, which lived on a 2nd generation Camaro F-platform, but with some unique Pontiac flair, such as Poncho and Oldsmobile V8s. But what really differentiated the Firebird from the Camaro were the strange option packages. The SkyBird was one of was one of several special edition Esprits that came […]
I know that a sub $5k Porsche has to have many problems, even if its the least desirable of the water cooled P-cars. However, today’s 924 is a Martini Championship Edition which means that it is one of 3000 built with white paint and some cool Martini blue-red racing stripes on the side. Today’s example […]

This next car come as a tip from Rock On who writes: It meets three important criteria. (1) It’s brown. (2) It’s a wagon. (3) Most importantly, it’s a stick! I can’t argue with that sorta logic, can you? The only thing I might change is that plastic diaper steering wheel cover, but otherwise this […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt V who writes: The dream of 80s faux-wood alive today. The dream of 80s faux-wood alive today. Oh yeah. This is the dream. The K-car club dream that won’t stop. Find this 1984 Chrysler Town & Country offered for $6950 in Redwood City, CA via craigslist. […]
The 4-door coupe is a crowded segment on the road these days, I can’t drive more than a few miles in sunny SoCal without seeing a new Audi A7, Mercedes CLS, BMW 6-series, or a Porsche Panamera driven by some lady with freshly bleached hair. The Germans might be having all the lately, but it […]
Do you ever find a listing for a car that leaves you with more questions than answers? What about a sedan delivery version of the infamous Chevy Vega that has a modernish DOHC V6 shoved under the hood. Where did that V6 come from? Why would you not include that little sprinkle of information in […]
