1980-2000
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On who writes: This could be a cheap project or an expensive paper weight. Yes, indeed. This car has 60k miles on the odometer and a base price of $203.5k in 1995…down to 1.7% of the original asking price. That’s gotta be a record of some […]
The E39 generation BMW 5-series was one of the last designs from BMW to not be Banglized and overly complicated. Complicated…yes…but not overly so. It will have some needs, but they won’t need to be solved with a fancy computer talking to other computers. Some of the plastic pieces under the hood are going to […]
Oh boy. Another classic rear-drive Nissan from the 80s with a big American V8 shoved under an ugly cowl induction hood…wait…that’s not a small block Chevy? That is a Toyota 1UZ-FE from some 90s Lexus with a high-rise intake manifold and a carbumafication setup. This thing is ratty, but it should be fun. Find this […]
This next car popped up on my radar as a big pinging target for a few reasons — first it is an F150 in a color, not black or some boring shade of grey. Next it has a manual gearbox — check out the size of that shifter, it looks like someone stuck a Swiffer […]
I’ve never owned an E30 generation BMW 3-series, but I’ve wanted one since about 1993. They got REALLY cheap around 2010, but prices have gone up in the past decade. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find an affordable 4-door 325 with a stick shift for less than the optional auto-driving nonsense offered on a […]
The Mercedes W202 was one of the last pre-Daimler/Chrysler merge Mercedes that we would consider allowing in our garage. It still maintains the classic clean Mercedes styling, before the front end starting looking like a melting jack-o-lantern, and before Daimler abandoned its 100 year reputation of quality to pander to the gods of quantity. Today’s […]
I tend to own multiple cars at any given period of time that fill multiple roles in my car need book. One car needs to have classic styling, another car to haul the family around, another car for twisty roads, and yet another car to go snowboarding in the mountains, but what if you wanted […]
The haters are going to say that this next car is from the time when Mustangs didn’t have much power, styling or handling…but I’m strangely attracted to it. I think it is because a convertible Mustang is such an iconic representation of youthful summer fun, that you can’t hate it. Find this 1986 Ford Mustang […]
Most cars aren’t perfect. Most aren’t previously owned by an astronaut, or equipped with a slick shifting 6-speed gearbox. And most cars have little nicks and dings an imperfections…but sometimes you stumble on a car that isn’t perfect, but is mostly good. Or at least, good for the price. Today’s next car isn’t an ultra-low […]
This next car comes as a seller submission from AndrewM who put together a decent listing and is asking a reasonable price for a modern classic. I’m not sure what shade of brown this car came from the factory, but with some age it looks like a vintage leather belt. I believe that the coupe […]
