This next car comes as tip from Erik202 who writes: Forums have the best deals. I swear it doesn’t get any better than forums. These cars continue to be criminally undervalued. I have to mostly agree with Erik202, because forums are places were diehard lovers of certain makes/models have a reputation, so they can’t go asking […]
There is something about an older car that is free from dirt/grime that just makes me happy…and it probably has something to due with the fact that most of my classics have been well used and abused. This next car is shockingly clean on the underside for a 27 year old car and has about […]
The 3rd generation (W30) Toyota MR2 Spyder was the last version of Toyota’s mid engine runabout to be sold anywhere in the world. It was a decent handling little car and I recall driving one new at a dealer’s lot back around the year 2000; it was light and superbly balanced. Prices are cheap today […]
Let’s say someone gives you $1000. What do you do with it? Do you squirrel it away in your piggy back for a rainy day or the inevitable health costs of a retired octogenarian? Scratch that…anybody who drives the cars recommended on this website isn’t gonna save his cash or survive through their 80s (if […]
When will the E24 generation BMW 6-series get the market attention and love it deserves? Oh…I’m not supposed to say that? I’m just supposed to keep my mouth shut and let all the sheeple go and spend their money on Porsche 911s and over restored Camaros? Okay. Right. Nothing to see here. Not a fantastic […]
I’ve always been a moderate fan of Ford’s Fox-body Mustang — it does offer a decent platform with manual gearboxes, rear-wheel-drive, and V8 power — but with an emphasis on the later models that offer fuel injected engines and more power…but recently I’ve become obsessed with the quad-headlight Fox models…because..well…more is more. Find this 1983 Ford […]
The Toyota Celica first hit US shores in 1971 as the Japanese translation of the Ponycar. The Celica might not have been powered by fuel thirsty V8s, but the long-hood short-deck styling was perfect for a 7/8th scale Mustang/Camaro/Challenger. This next Celica looks to have survived the years better than most of its factory siblings […]
The Oldsmobile Toronado was a groundbreaking car for a number of reasons — but it wasn’t the first front wheel drive ‘Murican car there was a Cord 810 back in 1936…nor was it the first car with a rotating drum style speedo, (although the Toronado and Riviera both used the drum with the miles/hr written on […]
If you want a classic that attracts more attention when parking than driving then the 1961-1969 Lincoln Continental will set you up with more conversations with strangers than dressing like a mime. And you’ll get better gas mileage too. Find this 1962 Lincoln Continental offered for $13000 in Peoria, AZ via craigslist. Tip from Jeff G. […]
The original Volkswagen Beetle “People’s Car” aircooled rear-drive platform was adapted over the years to just about every possible kind of vehicle, from the people hauling Bus/Van to the off-road ready Thing…but I don’t believe VW ever built a semi-truck version. Thankfully, we have hilly billies with welders to fix that mistake. Find this 1959 Volkswagen […]
