This next car comes as a tip from Tony who writes: Thought I’d drop this off for your consideration. Obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, but it looks pretty decent for the money. This old beast is sweet! And only 11k miles on the odometer for a 71 year old car? That’s 150 miles a […]
The 2nd generation Ford Cortina was released in 1968 by Ford of Britain with the catchy slogan: “The New Cortina is more Cortina.” The statement was true because the compact sedan used a Kent inline-4 power up front and simple lightweight formula that makes it a great competitor to the BMW 2002..at least across the pond where you could get both cars. Prices of Cortinas aren’t as overhyped as the BMW 2002, but you don’t see them very often and are almost always grey market examples like this next Portuguese migrant.

What does it cost to get into something “unique” these days? I’ll tell ya — you won’t turn any heads with another late model Moostang or a ’57 Chebby at a car show these days and most classics are so overpriced that you need to get into something funky to find a good price-to-value ratio. […]
I’d always rather buy a nicely restored or original condition survivor than a car that has had a cheap respray or is a pile of parts…but this next car appears to be a running/driving example of an unusual classic that just needs a paint job and some TLC. How bad could it be? Find this 1967 […]

The Toyota Corona was the bottom of the line for Toyota’s North American lineup until 1969 when the Corolla was introduced. That doesn’t mean that the Corona is a bad car, just that it was a compact and not equipped with a bunch of power options…but for a Japanese classic this isn’t bad because it […]
This next car comes from tipper John H who writes: Not my car, just something I spotted on CL. It’s a rather stodgy but handsome beast in grey and chrome and white sidewalls. Looks to be very original and absolutely immaculate – 65 years old and cleaner than any car I’ve ever owned (but then […]

Especially after surreptitiously planting their music on all of our mobile devices, it can be generally agreed that the best thing U2 ever did was bring the Trabant into the view of the masses. Once being a brand new 20-year-old car requiring a 20 year wait, the Trabbi is now a cultural icon. Find this 1975 […]
A few weeks ago I wrote a story about a Corona 2-door hardtop and mentioned that you don’t see many of the 2-door versions for sale (for whatever reason), naturally this means the DT inbox would be flooded with the exact car that I claimed was rarely seen. Find this 1969 Toyota Corona here on […]
