The Plymouth Voyager was a badge swap version of the legendary Dodge Caravan which was a large people carrier built on the Chrysler K-platform. Yes. Although called a “mini”van, the Caravan isn’t exactly “mini” by any typical measurement, but it did get powerplants shared with the K-car, included the Dodge 2.5 liter turbo-4. It is […]
The cars that become collector cars in the future aren’t always the fastest and most bodacious handling cars from the current era. Just look at all the ill-handling and slow Porsches, Mercedes-Benzes and Austin-Healeys that have become the darling of collectors — nobody cares if their 60s car is fast on a track, they want […]
I’m feeling in a Z-car mood today, partially because I just discovered that you can’t buy a new Z from Nissan for the 2021 model year as they’ve discontinued the Z34 generation 370Z and will replace it for the 2022 model year with something called simply the Z. Power will come from a twin-turbo version […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt who writes: The first thing that sticks out is the top mounted turbo (literally). But there’s also sketchy wiring, several parts needed, and, well, the fact that he’s slapped this big turbo on a car with 200,000 miles. Find this 1993 Honda Accord EX offered for […]
I’ve never seen a Nissan Avenir before and to be honest, I don’t think I knew they existed. It is a JDM only piece of Nissan history that is based on the 2nd generation Nissan Prairie platform. Today’s Avenir Salut is powered by an SR20DET which puts that power to all four wheels. This is […]
The Mazda 323 was a pretty forgettable economy car sold in America based on the Japanese Mazda Familia, but there was an exception. Mazda sold an all-wheel-drive GTX version that put some rally performance into the light chassis and many had been turned into rally racers over the years. But today, we’ve got a stock […]
Another day, another V8 powered Volvo wagon offered for sale, but this one has a manual gearbox and some sweet gold wheels and a bunch of other upgrades. The asking price is a smidge more than I’d like to pay for something as silly as a V8 Volvo, but this one is gonna be as […]
Could the 2nd generation Toyota MR2 turbo be the next Acura NSX? It is mid-engined and fun to drive and Japanese….so it could have a sudden jump in asking price. But in typical Toyota fashion, the MR2 was a bit too useful. Too driveable. Too easy to get in and out of the car. It […]
If you find a true boxy Volvo fan they will tell you a few things. First, the 140/240/740 is the best car to have ever been built because it can be a: daily driving sedan, family wagon, race car, drifter, sporty 2-door classic, custom wagon, autocrosser…you get the picture. I’m not convinced that the boxy Volvo is the best car ever, […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: bargain of the day- this is last year and aero spec Saab 9000. Yes, for $500 you get a manual gearbox equipped version of the last year of the Saab designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign with a boosted 2.3 liter B-series engine. Not sure if it is a true Aero spec (shouldn’t it have an Aero badge?) but the 200ish horsepower engine should make this thing scoot along faster than most $500 cars. Find this 1998 Saab 9000 CSE offered for $500 in Bradford, RI via craigslist.
