Welcome to Daily Turismo’s Syncro de Mayo, our May 5th celebration of Volkswagen’s four wheel drive system known as Syncro. Those pop-top Westfalia camper things used to be cheap and easy to run on a budget, but some kind of nostalgic hypnosis has convinced people they are worth somewhat more than scrap value, and you’ll […]
Free car! Who can argue with that? Not this guy, or anyone else who has an ounce of adventure and optimism running through their oil-soaked veins. It’s not often we find a car that someone wants taken off their hands for a song, yet also cool enough to feature. This little Lark is one of […]
People complain that there is too much negativity in the world…which seems oddly self-fulfilling, but if you ever find the world getting you down, just head to your local craigslist, because the optimism overflows the cracked-in-half-cup like a California estuary. Seriously, where else will you find people asking 5 to 10 times what they will […]
Mention the Sunbeam car brand in North America and instantly the next comment will include something about their Tiger model. Lesser known is the Alpine, otherwise known as “Tiger’s little brother”. With Tigers commanding large moola these days for even the scrappiest of specimens, lesser demand Alpines can offer tons of fun for smaller wallets. […]
by Matt — Are you looking for a car with a certain je-ne-know-what-the-hell that’ll spill that hot plate of poutine all over your lap? Well take a trip up to Quebec with a sack full of loonies and grab this bit of Acadian history. You, too, can be an the next All-Québécois badass, rolling serious […]
I never thought I’d see the day where a hacked up Porsche 912 offered for something less than $20k would be a good deal…but then I never thought that kids would snort cinnamon and listen to Nickelback, so there are a lot of things that I’ll never understand, but need to accept. Find this 1966 […]
We just featured a crusty BMW 2002 the other day, but this next one is considerably better looking [arguable! -ed. CFlo] and comes with a spare 2002Tii engine/gearbox. The asking price is higher, but if the paint isn’t totally fried and it is mechanically in decent shape, it could be a sweet deal. Find this 1969 […]
Back in the day, before the Cobra kit car industry (led by the likes of Factory Five, All Pro Cars, BackDraft Racing — read a huge list on kitcarlist.com here) flooded the market with AC Ace lookalikes, if you wanted to drive a Cobra, you either had to drop some serious coin on a real […]
In the world of vehicles equipped with hidden headlamps (and that is indeed a strange and magnificent world) few match the sheer brazen magnificence of the Subaru GL’s cyclops middle headlight. The Leone may not have been a lion on the street, but that wacky third headlight hidden under the Seven Sisters makes it king […]
The first generation Mitsubishi Diamante wagon was a front drive 5-door built in Australia and imported to North America from 1993 to 1996. The name Diamante was all allegedly derived from the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian word for “diamond” — a tribute to the Mitsubishi corporate logo. A used Diamante isn’t on the top of […]
