The Subaru XT was an oddly shaped coupe that was sold from 1985 through 1991 to fans of wedge styling around the world. Subaru advertised the striking coupe as “the kind of car Mercedes might have built if they were a little more frugal and a lot more inventive.” Unfortunately the styling and interior gimmicks […]
I can’t imagine you could go wrong with a $2500 used Porsche Boxster. Worst case is you could lose…I dunno…$2500. A new Boxster costs $65,500 starting and it costs $2580 if you want the green paint option and another $2520 for full leather interior…so I’m going to say that a used Boxster that just needs […]

The Powell truck was assembled in Southern California and rode on rebuilt ’40/’41 Plymouth sedan chassis with six cylinder Mopar engines. Find this 1955 Powell Truck (#1514) […]
The Datsun 240Z was the first mass market Japanese sports car to hit the US market and it was fantastic. Low driving position, peppy 150hp inline-6 up front, and communicative steering make for a great sports car. Prices of the first generation Z-car were low for years, but recently the market for good, original condition […]
This little red 1972 Toyota Celica ST looks to have survived better than 95% of the 1st-generation Celica population, and it’s even a nonoffensive color (red) without a kitschy vinyl top, to boot. It’s currently not running and the seller uses that infamous term that makes our inner gearhead chuckle a bit every time we […]
