The seventh-generation Buick Skylark (N-body platform shared with the Olds Achieva/Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Am, and Chevy Beretta/Corsica/Malibu) is the kind of car that disappeared from public roads without anyone noticing, which makes this 32k-mile survivor oddly fascinating. It is not collectible in the conventional sense, not fast, not beautiful, and not from one of Buick’s […]
You might be correct to think that a Ford Crown Victoria is an odd choice for a race car build, but the 2003 model year is key because it got the revised Panther chassis with rack-and-pinion steering and updated front suspension geometry compared with earlier Crown Vics. It is a bit pricey for 24 Hrs […]
This next feature is a pre-war Pierce-Arrow chassis reconfigured into a long, rear-cockpit streamliner with aircraft-inspired construction and controls. The photos show the car in a skeletal state, but the proportions are wild: long nose, rearward cockpit, tapered tail, narrow greenhouse, and body framing that is more pre-war aircraft construction and less coachbuilt car. The […]
You won’t find this next car in a locale with strict requirements for inspection laws, annual MOT, and maybe license plates. This car lives deep in the wilds of North Carolina and appears to be two Geo Metro sedan fronts welded back to back. But, for less than a down payment on a new car, […]
One of the forgotten performance bargains of the early 1990s, the Z24 paired Chevrolet’s 3.1-liter V6 with a five-speed manual, giving the humble J-body considerably more punch than its economy-car roots suggest. This Z24 might be inexpensive, but this isn’t just another used Cavalier. It’s a time capsule from an era when a fuel-injected V6 […]
What started life as a humble ’72 Chevrolet Vega wagon has been cut, welded, and transformed into a homebuilt Vegamino. (Is that pronounced veg-a-mino or vay-gah-mino?). It’s a tiny pickup that looks like GM might have built it if the bean counters had been feeling unusually adventurous. But the real story sits under the hood: […]
Dodge and Mitsubishi collaborations go back a long way, but the late 80s, early 90s were wild. The twin turbo V6 powered Dodge Stealth and Mitsubishi 3000 GT were the big brothers to the smaller 4-cylinder turbo Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser. But today we’ve got a strange combo. Somebody took the smaller […]
The next feature is a seller submission from Art who writes: I’ve decided to list my TT LS wagon for sale. Ive come to the conclusion that any fun car I own needs to be a manual. Found a 72 442 convertible 4 speed ive got my heart set on and Ive got to send […]
How is it that a purple C4 Corvette in “needs a tow” condition sells for about 1/10th of what a similar condition classic Ford Bronco sells for? Is the C4 that bad? Is the Bronco that good? Regardless, this thing is equipped with turbine-style wheels, a plus sized rear wing, and enough purple paint to […]
This is an Invader GT kit car that has been converted to battery-electric power, in what can be described as an oddball combination of fiberglass ’70s kit-car styling and first-generation EV hardware. The low nose, gullwing door, and mid-engine proportions vaguely suggest a Ferrari Dino or racing prototype, but the Invader is very much its […]
