We’ve been talking about classic Hondas a lot lately and watching prices on the 1999 (and 2000) Honda Civic Si EM1 creep up steadily, but I think this might be the first to hit the MSRP of a brand new one. We poor folk better start looking at Camrys because old Civics want to go the way of air-cooled Porsches and…
The final forms of Clinton-era Japanese sports cars are getting more collectible every year. The last Toyota Supras and Mazda RX-7s command crazy prices already and Mitsubishi 3000GTs can’t be far behind. As for Nissan 300ZXs, well, one just sold for so much money I am actually questioning my own sanity.
The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon has a wicked combination of serious performance, great looks, low production numbers and a big novelty factor—it’s a freaking factory-made hot rod luxury station wagon! One of the nicest I’ve ever seen, and one of the few clean ones left, has just sold in an open auction giving us a good idea…
A 1992 Volkswagen GTI was fun and “fast” around the time a lot of us got our driver’s licenses. But it was nothing special, which meant a lot of them were cheap, which meant you or somebody you knew probably had one. And that is why this modest little car is stirring up so much nostalgia.
The Chevy Camaro of the ’90s doesn’t get a whole lot of love, does it? Maybe because the Camaro nameplate died on the fourth-gen’s watch, maybe it just wasn’t that great of a car. Regardless, there are still a few out there that have been almost perfectly preserved. And they’re starting to look good again.
The British have always managed to pull off aggressive and stunningly stylish cars, and it seems they’re beginning to be appreciated in an all new light. Just a day after the first American-ized McLaren F1 became the most expensive British car ever sold, this 1956 Aston Martin DBR1 beat it out to claim the title for…
An absolutely pristine and particularly special 1995 silver McLaren F1 just found its second owner at the Bonham’s Pebble Beach auction for an astronomical asking price, which is fitting because us mere Earthlings are not worthy.
The Honda Prelude never enjoyed the prevalence or subsequent nostalgia that makes enthusiast-spec Civics and Acura Integras so desirable today. But it was a damn good car in the late ’90s, it’s a good car now, and as of this afternoon we have a solid yardstick for seeing what a really well-sorted one is actually worth.
An auction just ended for a twin-turbo (come to papa) six-speed manual (mmm) targa-roof (aw yea) essentially stock (unnnf) mint-condition 60,000 mile 1997 Toyota Supra ([panting]) in freaking factory green-on-tan and some lucky bastard now owns it for about $1 per mile on the odometer.
