The first thing I thought when I saw this next car was “what is special about a Special Edition” of the Samurai? Maybe this version doesn’t roll over and commit ritual seppuku at the first sign of a bumpy road. Okay, fine. I’ll go do some research. Many, many hours later. The second generation SJ30 […]
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera was mid-sized offering from GM’s premium brand Oldsmobile that sat between the compact Cutlass Calais and full-sized Eighty-Eight & Ninety-Eight. The Ciera shared the H-body platform with the Buick Century, Chevrolet Celebrity, and Pontiac 6000. It is yet another terrible 80s product from the General but this next example has only 38k miles on the odometer and is a “rare” XC special edition…so I’m gonna give it two thumbs up. Find this 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera XC offered for $7950 in Dunmore, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
What’s a ‘good ole’ pre-smog 3/4 ton pickup worth these days? The seller seems pretty straightforward (‘cept he cain’t spell breaks) and includes good shots of all the little rust areas. On the plus side, old ‘Murican trucks are SUPER easy to restore, you can buy anything you need for carpet, vinyl, headliner at your […]
Unless you are a serious Corvette enthusiast you’ve probably never heard of Tommy Morrison, but he wasn’t the lead singer of the Smiths or a professional boxer. However, he prepared and modified Corvettes for racing purposes back in the 80s and was credited with more SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) showroom stock victories than […]
If you are looking for a sub $15k American car to take and win a trophy at your next car show…don’t go out and by a cheap ’57 Chevy. Or a ’65 Mustang. Because those things are everywhere and the nice ones are really expensive..but what you should get is a 40th Anniversary Corvette, because […]
We last featured this exact car when it was offered for….errr…well… $5999…and it is still offered for the same asking price, but that doesn’t make it any less appetizing? It might mean their is some negotiating room in the asking price, or that the car is just being picky about finding the next owner…but it […]
Whassssssssssup. Whazzzzzzzup? WHaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzUUUUUUUUUP!!! If you remember those inane Budweiser whassup commercials from the late 90s/early 2000s…then I’m sorry I had to bring it up, but I’ve got an important point to make. Do you also remember those inane Eddie Bauer Edition packages sold on Fords starting in the mid 1980s and ending (mercifully) in 2010…because […]
The fourth generation (1993-2002) Pontiac Firebird TransAm was an LS1 powered machine that combined one part GM F-Body chassis with two parts Pontiac “Banshee” styling and 0.5 parts Canadian assembly. Production ended in 2002, but not before they made a “NHRA” edition that included a 1SH code on the build sheet, a power steering cooler, […]
If the universe is indeed as infinitely large as the astrophysicists and heliocentric heretics would have us believe, then Dean Koontz was on to something when he wrote: “In an infinite universe, anything that could be imagined might somewhere exist.” Imagine for a minute that in 2002 when Ford brought out its retro-styled 78th generation Thunderbird […]
A few years from now, someone is going to stumble onto this post…and I think he/she is going to say — wow, remember when these were this cheap? It will be the internet equivalent of stumbling onto a collection of vintage Autotrader magazines today, and I just can’t see a special edition of any 1980s […]
