The 2nd-gen MA60 Supra, like its predecessor, still fell under the Celica umbrella, being based on the economy coupe but with a longer nose, inline six-cylinder engine, and sportier MO. These cars are solid if not the most exciting classics on the market, but if you’re looking for your ticket into 80s Japanese Radwood perfection, this […]
You won’t see many restored high priced cars on these pages, but today I’m going to make an exception, because this next one looks really nice. Furthermore, the 240Z hasn’t gone through recent massive price inflation like certain German cars (i.e Porsche 911, E30 M3..etc), so if you are going to get one before the […]
The Mk III Toyota Supra offered a staggering level of technology when it hit the showrooms in 1986. The Supra was powered by the 7M-GTE, a turbocharged twin-cam, 4-valve, distributor-less engine that was miles ahead of its competition and only had a minor problem of consistently blowing up head gaskets due to an improper head […]
Nothing beats a simple, solid, rear-wheel drive, 4-cylinder, manual transmission sedan. There is plenty of room to wrench under the hood, with no fussy transaxle to get in your way. Something like the Volvo 240 series can be economical as a daily driver yet entertaining in the occasional autocross, parking lot slalom, or rainy-day dorifto […]
Update: 8/15/2014: We originally featured this car in November of 2013 when it was offered in Dover, DE for $4,500, but it is now back for sale, this time from a new owner who picked it up in January of 2014. The new owner also points out that this is one of 3000 Limited Edition […]
Today’s luxury hybrids are bought to make more of a statement than an impact. The convertible version of Geo’s three-cylinder Metro makes the same statement, but this untouched example takes it to the next level. If your car needs to tell people you’re rich, unsupportive of funding foreign oil, and dumb as a brick eccentric, […]
In the 1980s Ford Motor Company decided to try importing some of its European spawn from Ford-Werke GmbH in Germany…back home to the US. The only semi-successful fruit of the so-called “Merkur” brand program was giving the US buyer access to the Ford Sierra, an aero-styled RWD replacement for the Cortina and sort of the […]
Raise your hand if someone has ever asked you if ordinary passenger cars being sold today will be valuable in 40 years. Yep, all of us. Here, in all its brown glory, is the end-all counterpoint to all the six-figure muscle cars that your friends will bring up. Despite its rarity and minty clean condition, […]
The Saab 900 was the sequel to the 99 platform when it was launched in 1978 and actually used many of the 99 parts/body/engines/etc. The biggest noticeable change for the 900 was the elongated hood, ostensibly designed to meet US crash standards, but probably just another psychedelic drug induced decision by the guys from Trollhättan. […]
The Toyota Hilux Pickup is known for its frequent use by militant groups all over the third world as an impromptu tank/troop-carrier/apc/goat transporter. The HiLux is legendary for its rugged chassis and bulletproof R-series engines– even the nay-saying talking heads over at Top Gear are fans of the simple pickup and it isn’t built in […]
