Tipper Erik202 may have launched Italian Week on DT, but Matt C really brought home a strong finish with the earlier Maser Coupe and then this next thing. In Matt’s words: Or, want a Maserati badge on something even cheaper, that you can fix with K-car parts from your nearest junkyard? If you can live with […]
This next car is something of an oddity. I love the concept of a malaise era cruiser turned into a high speed road racer or Silver State Classic runner…but I’m not sure if I’d have removed all of that rich Corinthian leather. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that whatever anemic smog restricted V8 is […]
This next car comes from tipper Rock On! who writes: Everyone has their fine Corinthian leather jokes every time a Cordoba is for sale. This seller is including an autographed picture from Ricardo Montalban with the sale of his car! Find this 1978 Chrysler Cordoba offered for $7250 in Bennington, NE. From the seller: 1978 Chrysler Cordoba […]
One of the problems with driving a fast factory sports car (like a newish Corvette, M3, 911..etc) is that random people want to race you…which leaves you with the conundrum of winning these on-ramp derbys and looking like a rich buy-your-way-into-first-douche and losing your license as you murder innocent strangers in a fiery crash….so the […]
If you want a rear drive Japanese classic from the 1980s, the choice is usually between a Celica Supra, RX-7, or 240/280SX…but don’t fret, because there is another Skywalker!! And this 80s Japanese classic comes from the land of the three water chestnuts. Find this 1988 Mitsubishi Starion offered for $5,500 in Chandler, AZ via craigslist. […]
Mustang lovers around the globe bemoan the launch of the 1974 Mustang II, but those pony car lovers did not have it nearly as bad as the Dodge Charger enthusiasts who’ve had to wait DECADES for the Charger to return to its old glory of rear-wheel-drive-ed-ness…because there was an era of darkness when the Charger […]
If a J-body Dodge Cordoba with fine Corinthian leather seating was not luxurious enough for you, Lee Iacocca resurrected the top dog Chrysler Imperial flagship for a short run from 1981-83. The Imperial had controversial razor edge slantback styling that was as bizarre then as it is now. Iacocca pal Frank Sinatra lent his name […]
The 1933 Plymouth PC/PD was a middle of the road answer from Walter Chrysler because with it his car company offered a 6-cylinder power when Chevy had 4-cylinders and Ford offered 8. The all new 6-cylinder engine featured innovations like insert bearings for the crank, rod, and cam bearings. All of that history might be […]
The Mitsubishi Starion/Dodge Conquest/Plymouth Conquest/Chrysler Conquest was a line of rear-driven sports coupes built in the 80s by Mitsubishi in Japan. The Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler versions were just a light re-badge to trick “domestic only” buyers into picking up something from the land of the rising sun. The guise worked and quite a few of the Dodge/Chrysler […]
The ’49 Windsor was Chrysler’s low option offering in the full-sized segment and slotted just above the entry-level Royal but below the Saratoga, and New Yorker– ironic given the fact that anyone with half a brain would rather live in Windsor than Saratoga or New York, but this Windsor has been given an injection of […]
