Soviet-produced cars under the Volga brand tried very hard to emulate the style of American luxury vehicles from nearly the entire length of the Cold War. Everyone likes the look of a classic Cadillac, but if someone actually drove an ElDorado through Red Square during the Cold War, they might as well hand in their…
Before the much-maligned Chrysler k-car was birthed from the depths of the Chrysler Corporation, we had the Chrysler L-Platform. This new front wheel drive platform consisted of the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon hatchbacks and Chrysler made almost one million of them. The Horizon and associated vehicles were seen as…
The Chrysler TC by Maserati is a confusing car. Is it a Chrysler LeBaron with some Maserati badges? Maybe? Is it a Maserati with some Chrysler LeBaron parts? I don’t know. I even own a LeBaron and I’m not sure what the TC is. Our own Jason Torchinsky recently had to explain this discrepancy to his son.
Is your pesky BMW M12 inline four not cranking out enough power? Today is your lucky day! The full kit for a Garrett turbo as big as your face from a 1986 BMW Formula One engine is up for sale on eBay for just £8,750.00, or $11,854.15 in ‘Murica Bucks. It’s hard to think of a cooler ex-F1 part than this.
The Ferrari LaFerrari hypercar has always been a lovely car with a profoundly dumb name, but I often like to fantasize about which other cars would be improved by its 6.3-liter hybrid V12 engine. Would it fit under the hood of a Porsche 924? That’s worth finding out, because a LaFerrari engine with just 20 miles on…
An eBay user in Powder Springs, Georgia managed to get their hands on a 1985 TVR 280i. Also known as the TVR Tasmin, this British sports car was made in really small batches and according to the seller, only seven 280s were ever sold in the United States. If that’s true, this is one ridiculously rare car.
As a young automotive enthusiast, one of the first cars that I fell head over heels for was Alois Ruf’s wild and powerful turbocharged CTR “Yellowbird”. By virtue of playing with the Ruf in Gran Turismo 2, and later by watching Faszination Nurburgring on a VHS passed to me at an autocross, it didn’t take much more for…
Have you ever thought that Jeeps were too mainstream? Well this UAZ 469B may be the vehicle for you. Those capitalists over at Jeep don’t have anything on good communist craftsmanship. This UAZ isn’t the run-of-the-mill truck you’d see down at the local party headquarters. This one has a secret under the hood. It’s…
In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s the engineers at Jensen decided to follow the trend of putting American engines in British cars. It worked for the AC Cobra, maybe, they thought, it would work for them. This gave birth to the Jensen Interceptor, a grand touring car with a big ol’ Chrysler V8 under the hood.
Everyone loves the Jeep Forward Control. It’s a cabover lil’ truck thing with that iconic Jeep grille on the front and it’s adorable. Our friends over at Barnfinds have found a military spec crew cab version of everyone’s favorite stubby Jeep truck.
The Bricklin SV-1 is the best Canadian gull-wing door sports car because I’m fairly sure it’s the only Canadian gull-wing sports car. Here’s your chance to own a piece of automotive history with this rare 1975 Bricklin SV-1 for sale on eBay, and as of right now it’s pretty cheap.
The E30 generation of BMW 3 Series is a great car. Overrated? Yeah, probably. But they’re fun and iconic enough that it’s now incredibly hard to find one that isn’t rusted, modded, stanced, engine-swapped, raced, beaten to death or some combination of those things. We did find one, and if you want it, it’ll cost you a…
It’s easy to sometimes get bored with vintage car values. In the last few years it feels like the rare Ferraris air-cooled 911s and BMW E30 M3s and their like have dominated the imaginations and wallets of collectors everywhere; it feels rare to run into something truly original with an eye-raising price. How about an…
Feel like starting your Sunday morning off with a really bad, I mean, good decision? How about a 1992 Cadillac Allanté for $9,250?
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of our favorite cars of all time for glorious cheap speed. You don’t need a pricey luxury sedan to go fast in a practical four-door. You need an Evo. Maybe not this 2006 Evo IX MR, though. It’s going to sell for six figures because it only has nine miles on its odometer.
The BMW E91 was the last wagon that BMW offered with both a manual and rear-wheel drive for the U.S. market. It was a wonderful car, except for the fact that the BMW 328i wasn’t terribly quick. Some hero solved that problem with a turbo N55 out of a BMW 335i and you can buy it.
I don’t know if this 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood hearse that’s been converted into an RV is someone just making do with what they have or a move so goth, Andrew Eldritch would sneer at it in disdain. All I know is this Caddy for sale on eBay is the most wonderful weird car I’ve seen for sale in a long time.
Good day. Do you enjoy the Volkswagen Corrado? I do too. Interesting car, still looks pretty good, and I’m always kind of delighted when I see one on the road today. But would you pay $37,000 for one right now?
It’s there. I mean, it’s not. You feel it. The absence. It weighs on you, a hunger. Maybe you could fulfill your inner empty with this excellent 2011 Ford Fiesta caged and prepped rally car previously run by one of America’s greatest talents.
Oh, you have a Ford Raptor? A murdered-out Chevrolet SS? One of the last Dodge Vipers? Congratulations. Your car isn’t anywhere close to being as menacing as this 1989 Tatra 613—especially since it was allegedly owned by the KGB.
