Whenever I find a Nissan Pike car (Pao, S-Cargo, Figaro, Be-1, K10-Micra) I find myself inexplicably writing about the car. They aren’t particularly fast, fun to drive, or that easy to go through drive-thrus in the USA…but there is something superbly cool about the little retro-styled JDM classics that is irresistible to my pen…errr..keyboard. Maybe […]
The third generation Ford Mustang, commonly called the Fox Body, was sold from 1979 through 1993. You probably want a cool notchback version with the sweet 5.0 V8…but today we’ve got the bargain basement 4-cylinder version that was advertised for $13,270 out the door. Find this 1991 Ford Mustang LX here on eBay bidding for $4100 CAD ($3187 […]
I don’t get it. NSU is a rare make. The Sport Prinz is a cool model. And this next one is a scruffy pile of parts, but it is bidding for pauper money. Those guys on that other site would easily drop big Trump sized piles of cash on a restored Sport Prinz, so why […]
The YJ generation Jeep Wrangler isn’t known for being a fast vehicle — even with the big 4.2 liter AMC straight-6…but imagine a Wrangler that drives like it is bogged down in quicksand on any regular street and this is what we’ve got today. Find this 1995 Jeep Wrangler offered for $6,995 in Tampa, FL […]
Are you in the market for an aged European sedan that isn’t particularly fast, reliable, or sexy — but is affordable? Boy, do we have the goods for you today, because the Sunbeam/Hillman Minx Series I-VI was the Rootes Group mid-sized family car back in the 1960s-1960s and well…let’s be honest, it was a pretty […]
(Note from Editor Vince: The story was originally written for a nice $1k Jetta Diesel in SoCal, but the car was gone before the post went live, so the words have been rearranged to fit this uglier example) by Al — The 1980’s were a rad decade; It was the era of Reganomics, Gordon Gecko, Big […]
Many classic cars have a good wreck-to-whip ratio, that is to say that a nice example costs considerably more than a trashed version. The difference in price for something like a Porsche 911, fastback Mustang, or C2 Corvette might tempt you into buying one that has some needs, but when you get into more affordable […]
This next car is a bit of a project…actually it is a whole bunch of little projects, but who here doesn’t love to spend his weekends up to the elbows in grease? Exactly. Anyway, the seller in this next craigslist employs some creative spelling for this Type 14, but a good deal is good deal…unless […]
This next car was last featured as a seller submission here in Jan of 2014, but it is now offered by a small dealer near the LAX airport for a reasonable asking price. The previous owner and recent builder/restorer of this car is stand up guy and early friend of DT, so I give this […]
Mazda’s early 1970s rotary lineup included the compact Familia based RX-3, the mid-sized Capella based RX-2, and the Luce RX-4 — which was supposed to be Mazda’s personal luxury coupe. Unfortunately the RX-4 didn’t sell well in the US because the personal luxury coupe buyer wanted a comfortable ride, an automatic transmission, and low end […]
