The Meyers Manx was the original dune buggy for the masses, but the roofless/doorless/windowless setup isn’t for everyone, so Bruce Meyers designed the SR2 version and this one was built by Karma Coachworks out of Westminster, CA. Find this 1973 Meyers Manx SR2 offered for $10,000 as a roller or $15,000 with dual port engine in […]
The Lada/VAZ 2101 was compact sedan built by AvtoVAZ starting in 1970 for Eastern Bloc needs. It doesn’t have the reliability of a classic German car, the handling of a British classic, or the speed of something domestic, but it has the undeniable cool factor of a Soviet sedan. Find this 1979 Lada 2101 Zhiguli offered […]
If you were a well compensated Japanese executive shopping for a properly boss ride in the late 1980s, you didn’t have many domestic cars to pick from. You could get something imported like a Rolls Royce or a Mercedes S-Class…but many Japanese businessmen preferred to keep it local, perhaps with good reason. Find this 1988 Toyota […]
The Buick Roadmaster certainly has its fans around these parts; the body-on-frame finale of GM’s Land Yacht division was available as a 4-door sedan, yes, but more importantly as a full-on wagon, akin to the Chevy Caprice. Ford may have made the Crown Victoria until 2011, but this whale you see here is the last […]
The first generation Infiniti Q45 packed a surprising amount of performance & technology when it was released into the wild way back in 1990. Competition from ze Germans (BMW/Mercedes, etc) included a lineup on inline-6 engines in cars like the 5/7-series and Mercedes W124 E-Class –but in comparison the Q was indeed Quick. Parent company […]

Find this 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 here on eBay offered for $7,500 in Longwood, FL. The Lumina was released in 1990 as […]
The R129 Mercedes-Benz SL roadster is destined to be a Pebble Beach concours classic in the future (when we have self-driving flying cars) and might be tempted to get a monster V12 version…but those were always mated to a recalcitrant slushbox…so you should consider a manual gearbox equipped inline-6 version. Find this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL offered […]
The Renault 5 Turbo was a homologation special that shoved a turbocharged engine into the middle of the normally front-drive Renault 5 platform. It was more than just a hopped up option because it completely transformed the car from a bespectacled Dr Jekyl into a fire-spitting Tyrannosaurus Rex. Find this 1981 Renault 5 Turbo I […]
In 2006 (and 2007) Mercedes-Benz released the first of the M156 V8 powered AMG speed machines including the S63, CL63, ML63, R63, E63, SL63, CLS63, and CLK63. The new engine was a naturally aspirated 6.2 liter screamer that replaced the supercharged 5.4 liter V8 — and it more than made up for the lack of […]
It is a miracle that the SRT-10 Ram concept ever made it past the bean counters at Chrysler’s corporate HQ, and it was even a bigger surprise that 9,527 of these Mexican built monsters found buyers when new. Find this 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 here on eBay bidding for $16,600 reserve-not-met with a few hours […]
