Pennyfarina: 1970 MGB GT

DailyTurismo Classic B GT, British, GT, MG, MGB, MGB GT, Pininfarina 7

The MGB GT is no stranger to this website because we’ve featured many over the years. And the B GT continues to be a fantastic bargain for a car with a Pininfarina roof and proper classic car credentials. I’d have expected these to increase in price with similar things from the era like Porsche 914/912, Datsun 240Z, Ford Mustang Fastback, Triumph TR etc…but you can still get them for reasonable amount of money. Find this 1970 MGB GT offered for $5999 in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego, CA via craigslist.

Quad Headlights: 1981 Toyota Celica GT Liftback

DailyTurismo Modern Classic Celica, GT, Japanese, Toyota 2

It has been 15 years since Toyota sold anything with the Celica name on the back, which probably means it is time for a retro styled reboot. But I don’t want a retro styled electric self-driving Celica anymore than I want fake meat that tastes/looks/chews/grills like meat. If I want a Toyota with 4 square headlights, then I’ll get a this one. Find this 1981 Toyota Celica GT Liftback offered for $6,500 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist.

One of 511: 1976 Jensen GT

DailyTurismo Classic British, GT, Jensen, Jensen-Healey 1

The Jensen GT is a shooting brake version of the Jensen-Healey that was produced from Sept of 1975 through May 1976 in limited numbers before Jensen Motors went belly up. According to various internet sources, a total of 511 GTs were produced during the year of production. You don’t see these very often and this one is offered for a decent deal for such a rare bird. Find this 1976 Jensen GT offered for $9,500 in Oakley, CA via craigslist.

Banana Yellow: 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT

DailyTurismo Modern Classic 'Murica, Fiero, GT, Pontiac 8

How many sub 100k mile revised suspension (no, it wasn’t Lotus, but in the final year of Fiero production the Pontiac engineers put a considerable amount of effort into making it handle better) Fiero GT’s exist on the planet? Probably only a handful…and the seller of this next one is asking a very reasonable amount of money. I’d give this a two yellow thumbs up! Find this 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT offered for $6,500 in Baldwin, NY via craigslist. Tip from ME.

Ready for Summer: 1980 Toyota Celica GT Sunchaser

DailyTurismo Modern Classic Celica, Convertible, GT, Japanese, Sunchaser, Targa, Toyota 1

The 2nd generation Celica was great little rear-drive coupe from the makers of our favorite appliances, Toyota. It was built in Japan from 1978 to 1981 as a 2 door coupe or 3 door liftback, but it was not available from the factory as a convertible version. US dealers complained enough that Toyota outsourced the hacking of the roof off to the Griffith Company which installed a targa-style top with folding rear convertible back to roughly 2000 examples to make the Sunchaser.

Puffer Fed Hot Fox: 1992 Ford Mustang GT

DailyTurismo Modern Classic 'Murica, Ford, Fox Body, GT, Mustang 1

Another feature of today’s Foxy Monday special. The later GT versions of the Fox Body Mustang with all of their aerodynamic body moldings and borderline Pontiacish side skirts almost seem ridiculous compared to the clean early LX notchbacks you can find. But, perhaps you need all of that aero trickery to keep this next supercharged beast glued to the pavement. With a Vortech supercharger and all kinds of roller-rockers and custom cylinder heads this next car will be quite the handful if you aren’t easy with the loud pedal. Enjoy that characteristic 5.0 exhaust howl. Find this 1992 Ford Mustang GT offered for $16,500 in Lansdale, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

Free, But NOT Free: 1972 Opel GT

DailyTurismo Classic Free, German, GT, Opel 2

I got really excited when I read the title of this next carvertisment. FREE OPAL GTI. Except its not FREE, not an OPAL, and not a GTI. Its like that scuba diving vacation I took in the Sahara Desert. I still feel cheated on that one, but the seller got me all hopeful and then ends with a “Not free, but will consider reasonable offers.” I’m thinking free is a pretty reasonable offer for a derelict Opel GT…but I’m no expert, I’m just a guy with too many cars in my driveway, garage, and clogging up the street to pick up another derelict. CFlo, any interest? Find this 1972 Opel GT offered for FREE, NOT FREE in Simi Valley, CA via freebook marketfleece.

Needs TLC: 1972 MGB GT

DailyTurismo Classic British, GT, MG, MGB, MGB GT 1

There are a lot of things I get sick of quite easily. Political advertisements. Brittle plastic connector parts. The Olsen Twins. The list goes on. But you know what I’ll never get sick of? Classic British sportscars with fastback roof shapes designed by Pininfarina offered for a few grand on craigslist. Yes. I’ll never get sick of that. Find this 1972 MG MGB GT offered for $5000 in Concord, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Yenko Stinger Tribute: 1973 Chevrolet Vega GT Kammback

DailyTurismo Classic 'Murica, Chevrolet, GT, Kammback, Stinger, Vega, Wagon, Yenko 5

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. The Yenko Stinger was a Corvair based custom built in the late 60s, but hold your pitchforks…Don Yenko also built a few hundred Yenko Stingers in the early 70s on the Vega chassis. This next car is offered as a “tribute” to the actual Stinger, but it has a 3.8 liter Buick V6 instead of the original turbo-4 2.3 liter that Yenko offered. Find this 1973 Chevrolet Vega GT Kammback bidding for $6,500 in Bakersfield, CA via ebay with 1 day to go.

V8 Ferrari Dino Fake: 1978 Kelmark GT

DailyTurismo Classic Dino, Ferrari, GT, Kelmark, Kit Car 3

It really doesn’t matter that the Kelmark GT started life as a Beetle floorpan based kit car…and that it used a Ford Pinto windshield or that the side windows are inverted Chevy Impala rear windows. What matters is that the Volkswagen aircooled versions of the Kelmark GT were slow and made that characteristic Beetle putt-putt noise…yuck. But when equipped with a watercooled Chevrolet V8 mounted in the middle, the Kelmark was easily equal in performance to the legendary Ferrari 206/246 Dino that it was trying to copy. Find this 1978 Kelmark GT offered for $17,500 in Sonora, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
