The Mercury Comet in its early years was a rebadged Ford Falcon – but by the 70s the Falcon had its wings clipped, so Mercury switched the Comet to the new Maverick platform – still just a rebadge. This 1973 Mercury Comet is in original condition with a claimed 41k miles on the odo and […]
The Dodge Power-Wagon was introduced just after the end of World War II as an alternative to the military Ford 4×4 trucks, but it was the first military style 4×4 to be sold directly to the public. This 1950 Dodge Power Wagon is for sale in Oregon for an asking price of $7500 via craigslist. […]
We recently had our eyes on an 84 Isuzu Pickup Diesel ‘survivor’ car, but the buy-it-now was insanely high and the auction was ended early (probably sold off ebay). But no one really wants a glacially slow oil burner from the 80s – so we found this 1983 Isuzu Pickup with manual trans and gasoline […]
In an alternate universe – there is a Batman. He is still Bruce Wayne, but he wasn’t born to millionaire parents. His parents couldn’t even afford a standard Gotham apartment, they were forced to live in a double-wide in East Gotham Heights. But Bruce couldn’t be stopped from pursuing his dreams of fighting crime and […]
We featured a 3rd generation Toyota Corona on Wednesday – a restored, nice looking example that had some money put into an ‘out of body experience’ restoration…but for those who like their classic Japanese iron with some patina on it – we’ve found a nice original one for you. This 1966 Toyota Corona for sale […]
Considering that the last Amazon (aka 122) that we featured was a clean original coupe and sold for $8650, a nice wagon could conceivably be worth a similar amount. Today’s 3rd Thorsday car is a partially original, partially restored family truckster in a fetching shade of blue with nice contrasting red painted “V” hubcaps, a […]
Two days before Thorsday we posted an ad for a nice looking ’67 Amazon coupe — and DT reader/commenter Clark picked it up for what we think was a great price. His words: “I also thought it would go a bit higher. That it SHOULD go a bit higher. With a minute or so left […]
This car has to be one of the most well-traveled Volvos in recent memory – on the internet anyways, regardless of its miles in the real world. It has been featured on Bring a Trailer and the Hemmings blog, having last been sold about 3 years ago. The list of upgrades is long, the price is reasonable, […]
Welcome to the highlight of the week here at Daily Turismo headquarters -writing for Thorsday, in a bunker, surrounded by pictures of Volvos and our soon to be priceless “The Simpsons” stamp collection. Last Thorsday we posted a SAAB 96, but it was powered by a silly V4 engine, but any real Saabälskare will demand […]
“Pro-Street” is a term often tossed around by grey-mustached dudes at car shows and many different definitions are probably correct. Roughly stated – Pro-Street was a style of hot rod started in the 1980s that involved turning a street car into a street/strip/show car. A proper Pro-Street needs big wheels in the back, lots of […]
