The Nissan Silvia S12 generation was a sporty compact front-engine rear-wheel-drive coupe/hatchback that was sold as the Nissan 200SX in the USA from 1984 through 1988. Rust, misplaced confidence, and general negligence (reporting for duty — SIR!) have all but removed most of these from the roads, so finding one in nice original condition with […]
I’ve got a pretty broad understanding of the automotive world, but this next car caught me of balance. It isn’t often that I see a car and think…what am I looking at? At least not a “factory” car, which you could argue that Mitsuoka Motor Co Ltd is almost an OEM. They have a website, […]
I know they say “never meet your heroes”…but man I want to own a Nissan Pulsar NX. I have fond memories of those wacky tail lights in the view through the window of whatever American sedan my parents owned when I was a kid (okay, it was a sky blue Ford LTD…complete with burn-your-hide vinyl […]
The Z32 generation Nissan 300ZX was such a dramatic styling improvement above and beyond the previous generation that it almost looks like it came from a different manufacturer. I think the 300ZX is due some love from the collector market in the next few years, because the egg shaped Z was so much cleaner that […]
The second generation Nissan Pathfinder was introduced for the 1996 model year with revised styling and a new unibody chassis to replace the outgoing body-on-frame platform. The new more road friendly Pathfinder was also joined by an Infiniti version called the QX4 and sold quite well for Nissan through the 2004 model year. Today’s example […]
This next car comes as a tip from Alex who writes: I found this little gem & thought it’d be awesome if it got posted. Don’t see many of these around anymore, hope it finds a buyer soon. Find this 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX offered for $3800 in Gaston, OR via craigslist.
So I was perusing Tijuana craigslist the other day…and wait…there’s a Tijuana craigslist? I thought all of craigslist was basically a virtual version of TJ? Anyway, it is everything you’d expect when searching craigslist cars-and-trucks by owner — Corvettes, Isuzu trucks, bulldogs, parrots, and then I found a B13 Nissan Sentra that was made in […]
I can’t believe we are down to the penultimate entry in our celebration of terrible economy cars from 1992. It all started from this vintage Car and Driver article from July 1992 came across my desk the other day. The 12 compact economy cars in the comparison article were sub $10k crapboxes that were ranked […]
Nissan never built a factory convertible version of their 1978-1983 S130 generation 280ZX sportscar, but they should have. Today’s example is an old convertible conversion that was done by Giuliano Verna of Specialty Cars Ltd in Roxborough, PA. Find this 1981 Nissan 280ZX Convertible offered for $17,500 in Philadelphia, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory. […]
The Z32 generation Nissan 300ZX was such a dramatic styling step above the previous generation that it almost looks like it came from a different manufacturer. Count me in as a fanboi, because the egg shaped Z was so much cleaner that the previous generation and better looking than the 350Z that replaced it a […]
