Find this 1987 BMW 325i LT1 offered for $3,000 in Woodland, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On! Somehow, someone managed to shove all of the necessary smog […]
The Volvo 740 (aka 745) wagon was a fine piece of engineering from safety focused guys at Volvo, but even in turbocharged trim it won’t open any eyes with acceleration…so…an entire boutique industry has been born to fix it with injection of American V8 power — even Paul Newman shoved a V8 into his Volvo […]
The compact Jimmy was the GMC branded version of the Chevrolet Blazer produced from 1982 through 2005. Power from the factory came from a variety of inline-4 and V6 engines, but if you want to go really fast you can find one that has been re-powered by something with 8 cylinders. Find this 1986 GMC […]
If you grew up after mid 1970’s and into the 1980’s, the amount of horsepower found in today’s cars is literally insane. I’ll give you a new Tesla can hit 60 mph faster than I can pass wind, but is there any real fun in doing it? To my mind, cars from the 1990’s […]

The Pontiac Fiero was introduced by General Motors for the 1984 model year as the American answer to foreign born compact sporty-cars. No, not sports cars, but sporty-cars — the Fiero was never intended to compete with the Corvette and ultimately that is what held it back. In the same way that the 914/Boxster could […]
The numerous Volvo 240s that grace these pages seem to fall into two buckets, first is for the clean/original junkers that cost a few grand and would be great for a daily driver, and the second is for the Chevy V8 swapped hoon mobiles that also cost a few grand. This next feature falls squarely […]
The Volvo 700 series was an executive class sedan/wagon built as a replacement for the aging 200 series, but it was actually outlasted by its younger brother. The 700 was eventually morphed into the 900 series which was the end of the line for Volvo’s rear-drive family cars. What this means today is the 760/740 […]
