We will try to refrain from making any Smurf jokes about this car. Not even one smurfin’ joke (okay, maybe just that one). What we have here is an interesting beast – a claimed “GTV-AM” model. We are not Alfa snobs, and not sure that such a variation even existed – but perhaps it is […]
The Chevrolet Corvair was a compact economy car produced during the 1960s, known for its aircooled rear engine setup and propensity for questionable handling. The second generation Corvair fixed many of the suspension woes of the first car – but not before the damage done from Ralph Nader’s scathing indictment of the automotive industry put […]
Are you an aspiring movie producer? Working on a period ’60s Japanese flick – maybe a “reimagining” of You Only Live Twice? Can’t afford a 2000GT and need a little basic getaway kuruma for the good guys to flog while fleeing from the Yakuza in their sinister black Crowns? Look no further! We’ve found a perfect 1970 […]
It has been 5 days since we’ve posted a Volvo – please don’t let us go that long again – we are having withdrawals. Even though we are Volvoholics, today’s little red coupe is also the perfect prescription if you are suffering from a case of Alfa GTV fever, but don’t have the cash to […]
The Samurai in Feudal Japan were a class of Warrior-nobles, the word Samurai actually a verb meaning “to wait upon the upper ranks of society.” The Samurai with wheels was a four-wheel-drive lightweight from Suzuki – the Miata of SUVs. This 1988 Suzuki Samurai is for sale in North Bergen, NJ on ebay currently bidding […]
Chevrolet introduced the Vega in 1970 as a cheap coupe, hatchback, wagon and panel van. Like a Quentin Tarantino film, the Vega started out with a happy face and to many accolades, but ended with broken dreams, bullet ridden corpses and general mayhem. Ralph Nader once wrote that the Vega was “sloppily crafted, unreliable […]
The C3 Corvette (1968-1982) wasn’t the prettiest Corvette…and by the early 70s it was smog choked slow and shoddily assembled. That didn’t stop a team of madmen from Vic’s Corvettes in Excelsior, MI from creating a custom breadvan version of the C3 vette. This 1973 Chevy Corvette Sports Wagon is for sale in Gardnerville, NV […]
We’ve featured a non-stock BMW 2002 in the past – but that one was a hacked up El Camino look-a-like Baur Targa -this time we found one much more pleasing to the eye. This 1976 BMW 2002 Restomod was originally a big bumpered 2002 – but has now been modified to resemble the Europe-only 2002 […]
The GMC C/K was a range of light duty pickup trucks built from 1960 through 1999. The third generation of C/K series was built from 1975-1987 and is known to be an all around workhorse for yard workers, macho men and survivalists. This 1985 GMC High Sierra 2500 was submitted by its seller and is […]
The 5th generation Datsun Bluebird was badged as the 610 in the USA. The same car was badged as the Bluebird-U in Japan and at one time used an ad campaign with the phrase “Bluebird U, Up you!”. We like the 610 for its funky 70s Japanese vibe and simple light weight chassis. This 1973 […]
