Welcome to our second part of today’s Oppenbarbie (please, not Barbieheimer) special…which is, of course, the Barbie side of the coin. This isn’t a big German bomber…no…this is an American born pink car built from plastic and it’s fantastic. Barbie had a Fiero, right? Or was it a Ferrari? Eh, what’s the difference? Oh, you […]
This next van thing came across my desk from a tipper and my first thought was to block and sender and burn my computer for safety…but then I thought about the Ford SuperVan that ran some crazy time up Pikes Peak this year and I thought…this must be the year of the Van. So, let […]
For the 1986 and 1987 model years, Shelby Automobiles modified about 500 Dodge Omnis in their California based factory for shipment and sales directly through Dodge dealers around the country. These econobox legends were outfitted with a modified engine, upgraded wheels, brakes and suspension and given a factory Shelby VIN…so don’t call it a tuner […]
Way back in 1932 Plymouth built a roadster that was called the Business Roadster or the Collegiate Roadster, but they didn’t sell many of them, only 3000 in total. That makes them a rare car, but not particularly expensive because they have a Plymouth badge on the front. Find this 1932 Plymouth PB Business Roadster […]
This next car comes as a tip from ME who did a random search for Manual Mercury vehicles and expected to find nothing (or at least nothing “good”) but instead found this sweet piece of Cougar bait. I am even starting to like that strange rear window shape that was so easy to ridicule back […]
This next car comes as a tip from BP who writes: What’s not to love? Something to watch on the first day of summer soon. 13 days left on bidding. 88k. Clean underside. Sweet. OK, needs wheels, but those will give you some idea of how long this has been sitting idle in some garage […]
The typical 80s vintage Toyota wagon is powered by a sub 2-liter inline-4 that barely puts out enough power to get out of its own way. There isn’t anything wrong with driving a slow car (I’ve had the pleasure many times myself!) but today’s Toyota wagon or Wagon is something of a Frankenstein. Power comes […]
This next car comes as a tip from PA Cyclist who writes: The only explanation for this is that someone built an entire Pontiac factory in their basement. Yeah. This thing looks like it just jumped through a worm hole and I hope you aren’t one of those Fiero haters who wants to toss it […]
The Willys Jeep is that iconic military transport vehicle that was also known as the Willys MB, Ford GPW, US Army Truck, and Jeep…or even jeep. It was a simple vehicle with basic powertrain, but today’s Jeep has been given some aluminum body pieces and a small block Chevy V8 a few years after it […]
I hate to be the guy who always says that things aren’t safe or you are going to shoot your eye out…but if you buy this next car/trike/thing you will probably not survive through the next year. I’m not saying that it isn’t a well built…but the combination of V8 horsepower and single Yamaha front […]
