This next car comes from tipper Watch Carefully who writes: Today I discovered this: It’s a bit of a resto-mod, but true to the original 454 model with NACA ducts, etc. My dad had the 4-door from 1973, bought new when I was a kid, and I always thought it was among the best looking muscle cars […]
You know what I love better than a gorgeous coupe fitted with a V12 powerplant offered for a reasonable price? One with pop-up headlamps…because fixed beams are for chumps. Yeah, there is only once choice — the BMW E31 8-series. Between 1989 and 1997 BMW sold only 7,000 of the shark nose E31 in North […]
This next car really tugs at my heartstrings…because no matter how terrible a vintage Saab might be on paper with regards to acceleration, handling, reliability, parts availability…etc…it is still a sweet car, I do miss the ole Draken DT project car. And those soccer ball alloys…hrrrnnngggg…me gusta mucho!! And with Bosch fogs? Welp…I wonder if […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who puts it eloquently when he writes: I realize saying it’s an ’80s Italian car with sketchy electronics may be redundant, but this is sketchier than most. Still, could be a good deal for someone who’s not afraid of rewiring and has a lot of time […]
What’s an E-Type worth these days if the front end looks charred and you can’t even tell if it is the gorgeous coupe or the ungainly 2+2…which can’t be that ungainly if you have a hard time telling it apart from the coupe…but I think this is a 2 seat coupe version offered for a […]
The B3 generation Audi 80 was sold from in 1986 through 1991 as a sedan, coupe and cabriolet. The coupe version dropped the 80 nomenclature in 1988 and became known simply as the Audi Coupé. This generation of Audi Coupe isn’t quite as iconic as the original Ur-Quattro, but it offers better drive-ability and ergonomics […]
This next car made me have the following conversation in my head: “Whoa, that looks awesome, I need it. And the price. Yikes, must be a scammer. Or…maybe it is just a good deal?” Yeah. I’ve had that conversation in my head a number of times…too many times to really count…but against all better judgement […]
Italian Week continues on DT: This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: I was actually looking for a Biturbo as I figured that it would be in the DT price range… and instead I found a much better looking Maserati that probably will be way less expensive to maintain: A […]
Hey, Happy St Valentine’s Day to all you people out there in cyberspace — St Valentine was a 3rd century Roman saint who is commemorated on February 14th, which is a nice coincidence because we are in the middle of an Italian week over here at Daily Turismo. Valentine’s feast day became associated with “courtly […]
I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to old crappy cars that are painted in an sickly shade of green. And there is no color like green to bring out the “huh” in a classic car, except maybe for brown, but brown has that “I’m too cool for school” look that all […]
