The world is full of odd stuff with strange names that don’t make sense. There was an Australian sports racing car called the Centaur…but this next thing ain’t that. There was also something called the Centaur GT that was built in the UK back in the 1970s…but again…this isn’t it. This is something that looks […]
The cost of entry into the “cool” car club is getting ridiculous these days, and I’m not just talking about Ferraris, Porsches, Supras, but even simple 1st gen Mustangs in great shape are pricy, BUT, you can still find interesting cars in good shape that just aren’t that “desirable” for whatever reason. You’ve just got […]
The big issue with the majority of classic muscle cars for sale on the web is that they are overpriced…and I’m not talking about sellers who are just asking too much, but I’m also talking about the general state of the market. Fortunately, you can still find an occasional original condition classic for a reasonable […]
The 124 Sport Coupe was a 2-door three-box styled classic (with the nickname “Tartufo,” Italian for truffle) from Fiat designed by the same guy who penned the Ferrari 250GT, Fiat 600 and Simca 1000. The final iteration of the Sport Coupe was the CC version that included revised front/rear styling and a bigger engine. The […]
Mention the word Corvette and it conjures up all kinds of memories associated with America’s super car. Boogie Nights…Corvette Summer…Pootie Tang…and old guys in plaid golf shorts with a bleach blonde Barbie in the right seat. I swore I would never consider a Corvette, yet here I am contemplating one of the best bangs for […]
Porsche ownership comes at a cost. First, there is the initial price of the car, which if found cheap usually means many more hondos will be required to bring it up to road worthiness. Next up is the scheduled & yearly maintenance costs…not for the faint of heart if you can’t turn wrenches yourself. Lastly, […]
A few weeks back I wrote about my inept ability with all things Italian featuring a mid-seventies GTV Alfa. DT readers are an educated bunch and I learned a lot about the car in question. The world of Italian cars is still a black hole for me, but I look forward to pulling up my […]
by Kevin –-Before the GNX, before the Grand Nationals and T-Types there were the Buick Sport Coupes. The main attraction to these packages was the carbureted, turbocharged V6. This engine was available beginning in 1978 in the Regal, LeSabre, Century and Riviera. Find this 1979 Buick LeSabre Sport Coupe resting in the weeds, somewhere in […]
This Fiat 128 Sport Coupe is up for sale after ending an eBay auction for $9,000 in June of 2014. It is still offered in the same city with some of the same photos, so the previous sale might have fallen through or this is a different seller who is looking for a considerable profit […]
Before BMW was known for its M series, iDrive, and xDrive, they had offerings in the same market as the air-cooled VW Beetle. It doesn’t get a whole lot more basic than the Isetta when it comes to enclosed transportation, but in the years to follow you could get something more conventional looking from BMW. […]
