What are the requirements for a good deal on a cool car? Does the advertisement need have good photos? Nope. Does it need to have good description? Nope. Does it need to be a crazy sedan delivery conversion of a popular pony car? Nope. Wait. Hold up. That is a requirement. Find this 1984 Ford […]
The B1 generation Audi 80 (1972-1978) was badged as the Fox for the US market, but it was the same two or four door sedan built in Germany. The B1 was designed when Audi was owned by Volkswagen and was a legitimate break from the Auto Union era — it used 4-cylinder engines built by […]
This next car is about as odd of a combination as you’ll find around — first it is the Mercury Capri from the time when they shared a chassis and powertrain with the Fox-body Mustang, and it is equipped with a manual gearbox, but the kicker is that it is one of the few Capri’s […]
The original title for this post was Hecho en Brasil, but then somebody (more smarter than me!) pointed out that people in Brazil don’t speak Spanish, they talk Brazilian. So, I whipped out the old google translator and found it was actually Portuguese…wow…that was a long trip to get to the cheapest wagon in America […]
The 3rd generation Fox-body Mustang needs little or no introduction to most American muscle fanatics living human beings, but perhaps a refresher is in order.

I might be getting old, but the Fox body 5.0 Mustang is starting too look like a collectible to my eyes — probably because the early examples are pushing 40 years old and my vision is getting fuzzy. It REALLY doesn’t seem that long ago that a ’93 Cobra was a new ride…but I digress. […]
Volkswagen’s Type 1 Beetle was phased out of the US market after the 1979 model year where it was somewhat replaced by the Rabbit/Golf, but the subcompact economy segment was left unfilled for a few years. In 1987 Volkswagen started importing a dirt cheap Brazilian built Gol to compete in the econobox segment, but up […]
The Fox generation Ford Mustang didn’t just replace the great selling Mustang II (seriously, the ’74-’78 IIstang holds four of the ten top model year Mustang sales figures) it also replaced the Maverick and the Pinto to a certain extent. It did this because it was a competent chassis with a wide variety of available […]
Building a custom trailer from half of an old car is a hit and miss game where the end result can be range from a fantastic BBQ to something straight from a horror movie. This next feature is oddly well executed and looks like the perfect trailer for a classic Fox owner. Find this 1975 Audi […]
