Tipper Jason sent in this next car with the simple statement: Quite rare to see these cars. Indeed, he is correct, because the Giorgetto Giugiaro designed Isuzu with suspension tuning by Lotus lives somewhere in the netherworld between aging scrap metal and future classic…methinks more towards the latter. At least, I hope! Find this 1988 […]
A few years ago I owned and drove a used 3rd generation F-body and I’m not going to say it was a bad car, but let’s just say that it is not an experience I am anxious to repeat. It was slow and unsophisticated, but mine was an 84 Z28 and I didn’t have a rare last year of the generation 25th Anniversary edition. The 25th Anniversary Heritage Edition was supposed to be equipped with Corvette alloy cylinder heads, a 6-speed manual, and tubular exhaust, but the bean counters at GM decided that a graphics package is what buyers wanted for their extra cash. However, today’s example is offered for a decent deal and looks to be ready to go. Find this 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS offered for $6,800 in Stamford, CT via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
The Isuzu I-Mark (I Mark, you Jane!) is part of the GM ’80s compact car family, built by Isuzu but marked by GM, known as the Gemini. The styling was started by noted Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro noted for such designs as the DeTomaso Mangusta, Iso Griffo, ‘the’ Delorean, Ferrari 250GT. The little I-Mark wasn’t […]
When given a choice, most people pick the easy way. Lemme give you an example. If you want to build a hot-rod late model F-body, start with a V8-6-speed Camero and start with some bolt on parts. Go fast. Have fun. Or….you could chose door number two and end up being eaten by a lion […]
The Capri was a sporty coupe built by Ford of Europe (in Germany) and imported to the USA under the Mercury brand. Power came from a variety of V4, I4 and V6 engines mated to the rear wheels via manual transmissions for a proper driving experience. Find this 1977 Mercury Capri RS offered for $3,250 in […]
The Isuzu I Mark is part of the GM ’80s compact car family, built by Isuzu but sold by GM with the name Gemini. The 2nd generation styling (1985-1990) was started by noted Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (known for such designs as the DeTomaso Mangusta, Iso Griffo, ‘the’ Delorean, Ferrari 250GT) but changes demanded by […]
The Mercury Capri followed the career arc of any modern pop diva singing prodigy — think Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Miley Cyrus. A cute and compact version (1970-1977 German Ford) for the first few years gives way to a meatier and more aggressive second generation (1979-1986 Fox Body) followed by a complete and total […]
This next car has me wondering just how many cars built in 1989 still have less than 65,000 miles on the their odometers? With an average of just over 2300 miles per year, you’ve got to admit that this car has had a pampered life, but not so pampered that you wouldn’t want to drive […]
Happy Valentine’s Day: This next car was originally featured as a reader ride back in May of 2015, and it appears as thoroughly wicked as the first time I saw it. It can be described as the Porsche 928 Carrera RS that Porsche should have built, and features an incredible collection of small details done […]
The Mercury Capri was sold in three distinct generations which are commonly known as the German Capri (1970-1977), Mustang Capri (1979-1986) and finally the Crapi (1991-1994). Obviously the German Capri is the coolest of the breed, but for day-to-day driving, I think the Fox Mustang based Capri is going to be the easy winner. Find […]
