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 […]
Alfa Romeo 116 series four cylinder car values have languished for a long, long time. Rust, notchy gear boxes, and tepid performance have sent many potential Alfa buyers over to the later GTV6 models as they generally are a more fun and compelling car to own. Today’s feature car turns that notion on its head […]
The euro inspired Merkur XR4ti was similar to the SVO Mustang in size and purpose. Both cars shared the 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder Lima engine which was a capable performer in its day. However, today’s feature track car ditched it’s 2.3 engine for a 4.6 supercharged V8 from a 2003 Mustang Terminator which was the […]
The 1995-99 Nissan Maxima were the last cleanly styled generation of Maxima. The cars that followed this generation were more powerful, but were noticeably uglier cars.

If I mentioned 5 speed manual equipped coupes from the 1970’s, brands like Alfa Romeo, Lotus, or BMW would first come to mind. Imagine my surprise when finding this factory 5 speed Cutlass S. You could, but not many did option out the small 260 ci Olds V8 with a 5 speed manual on all […]
DT readers who live in parts of the country that do not use road salt in the winter will breathe a sigh of relief after reading this piece. Parts cars are a great resource for keeping other cars on the road if you actually get around to using them that way. Today’s pair of Jags […]
It’s Thorsday folks and we have quite the Swede for you today. The dollars per level of crazy is off the charts on this one. This Volvo 240 build is sort of a more discreet budget version of this Corbin Goodwin bonkers Rolls Royce. Many brick Volvo’s feature American V8 swaps swapped into their huge engine bay. […]
Another week, another Fiero…But wait, this is not your ordinary Fiero! This one has a lot going for it: 88 suspension redesign, 32v Northstar V8 engine swap and it is a real Mera conversion which was actually sold through Pontiac dealers. With the escalating prices of 308 Ferrari’s this 300hp Mera presents a valid counterpoint […]
Tipper Jon seems to have a bad case of Cadillac fever. In between internet searches he writes us: imagine the security of floating down the highway at triple digit speeds, secure in the knowledge that very few other vehicles could present a threat to your safety, ensconced as you are in a 1967 Eldorado, seated […]
The installation of a 12 cylinder engine into the BMW E32 was big news and actually caught Mercedes flat footed. What if you have thousands of dollars to burn making a V12 even faster?
