The third generation Chevrolet Caprice Classic was introduced in 1977 as a lighter and leaner version of the previous full sized Chevy sedan. The Caprice received two minor restyles during its 13 year lifespan, the second in 1986 restyled the front for a more aerodynamic look, but still maintained the boxy goodness that was lost […]
What’s that you’ve found? An LT1 powered family sedan that is brown and cheap? It might not be a wagon, but it’ll haul a small family and return decent highway fuel economy while flying totally under the radar. Find this 1994 Buick Roadmaster sedan offered for $1800 in Peru, IN via craigslist. I think I […]
“Corvettes’ crappy chairs cramp your can,” cite cynical car columnists. Can cuddly cushions calm curt complaints? Are computer-controlled gear changes criminal? Creamy cow cuts and chrome create a crisis for crotchety, chain-chested Chevy clientele compulsively clicking on Craigslist. Find this 57,000-mile 1992 Corvette Coupe with Z07 package in Liberty, MO for $6,800 via Craigslist. To compete […]
The fourth generation Chevrolet Caprice was sold from 1991 to 1996 as the last hurrah for the Caprice name launched in 1964 (until the Caprice name was brought back for fleet use in 2011). The Caprice Wagon shares most of its parts with the Buick Roadmaster Wagon but it lacks the faux wood sides, […]
The Jaguar XJS was a luxury grand tourer from those crazy blokes in Coventry and was built from 1975 to 1996. The big cat is equipped with an inline-6 or V12 that requires routine upkeep from a Jaguar specialist, so engines frequently get swapped. This one looks nicely modified and has a Chevy LT1 V8 […]
The Porsche 944 with LS1 V8 that we featured last week ended bidding at $7,100 – a fair deal for buyer and seller (although the seller did want to recoup all of his costs, it was an unrealistic expectation that was torpedoed first and foremost by his listing of all his costs). The key on […]
For better or worse, the Volkswagen Beetle is a motoring icon with a 65 year production life and 21 million units sold – unmatched in quantity by any other single vehicle platform. The original flat-4 is both the biggest asset (reliable, simple to fix, cheap) and problem (low on power, noisy, unrefined) with the original […]
The first generation Vista Cruiser featured a unique skylight for the rear seat passengers and a raised rear roof section above the 3rd row passengers. Today’s market for Vista Cruisers and the similar skylight equipped GM siblings is all over the place, but good examples fetch decent money and rusty pits are worth scrap value. […]
Another day, another Corvette powered Jaguar on ebay…but this time it isn’t a barnyard turd find. What it does have are hideous rims and a great price – a combo that Charlie Sheen and the staff of the Daily Turismo call “winning.” Find this 1989 Jaguar XJS with LT1 V8 in Birmingham, AL, currently bidding […]
Thorsday is back with a bang!! We’ve seen so many Volvo wagons with V8 swaps recently that they almost don’t qualify as a sleeper anymore..almost, except for the fact that when we see a clean 740 on the road we instantly assume its family oriented driver will stay within the speed limit and only pass people […]
