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 […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a small 2 seat convertible manufactured by the boys in the West Midlands from 1962 to 1980. It was a light, simple, low-power, little roadster that preferred winding roads to drag strips. This 1975 Triumph 1500 has been converted to one that prefers its Christmas trees out of the forest and […]
Last week’s Thorsday “285” wagon (200 series, 8-cylinder, 5-door…well 6 if you count the ragtop…) caused a bit of debate about structural integrity and the potential uses for such a machine. This week, we may get letters from the SSAG (Save the Smurfs Advocacy Group) because approximately 3,428 Smurfs were skinned to make the rich […]
The Oldsmobile Toronado was originally conceived as a front wheel drive sedan back in 1963 to compete with Ford since they already had a patent on front wheel drive designs – not from today’s hyper focus on cost that leads to driving the wrong wheels. This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is for sale in Lakeland, […]
The e34 BMW 5 series was sold in the USA with multiple gasoline engines but the fuel efficient and torquey turbo diesels were not exported stateside due to the EPA limits in particulates and NOx. This 1990 BMW 524 turbo diesel (exported to Canada from Europe) is equipped with a 5 speed manual transmission and […]
This car was so special that we had to generate a new badge at the daily turismo, the ‘riddler.’ This is for those special cars where we don’t know if we should laugh, cry, find our check book or call the police. A proper riddler is truly the work of genius/madmen and this 1972 Chevy […]
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 […]
OK, let’s get this out of the way…Ja, das ist Dieselwagen langsam. Yes, this Dieselmobile is slooow. Not just glacially slow like a non-turbo Volvo 242, not even disappointingly slow like a DeLorean. You should know what you’re in for with this Stuttgarter. Molasses in January has been talking trash to it ever since they […]
Pontiac introduced its mid-engined Fiero in 1984 – complete with manual steering, skinny tires, parts bin suspension (from Chevette & Citation) and powered by an anemic 2.4liter inline 4 nicknamed the “Iron Duke”. It wasn’t until 1988 that the Fiero recieved a proper suspension setup and this low mile 88 Fiero coupe located in Silo, […]
