Volkswagen’s gorgeous Scirocco coupe is fading fast into the ranks of obscure cars, with fewer examples appearing in daily use or even at hobbyist events. It’s like the car just vanished from the U.S. landscape, and while they do… more»
Unfinished Business: 1966 Datsun 1600 Roadster

Family Heirloom: 1967 Chevy Corvette Stingray

This pair of Jeep Comanche Eliminator pickups could be a smoking deal for someone looking to restore one back to OEM-perfect condition. The seller has a running/driving 2WD example and a 4WD parts truck, which he intended to use… more»
Forgotten Flachtbau: Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
In the world of Porsche 911s, it sort of goes as follows: Turbo = rare; Slantnose (or “Flactbau”) = rarer; Turbo Cabriolet = pretty darn rare; Turbo Cabriolet Slantnose = do you believe in unicorns? This car, if genuine,… more»
Low Mileage Landshark: 1988 BMW M6
For years, BMW’s Motorsport-tuned 3-Series – the ubiqutous E30 M3 – has been spiraling upwards in value. The M6, however, has lagged behind, and seemingly for no good reason. That’s why it’s no surprise to see time capsule examples… more»

Estate Acquisition: 1974 VW Beetle Sun Bug

Country Package Survivor: 1993 Jeep Cherokee

ATV Trail Blazer: 1970 Honda ATC 90

Stripped for Paint: 1961 Facel Vega HK500
Facels are among the most imposting coupes to come out of the 1960s, and struck a balance between brute and ballerina. I use this description because of the svelte design in places, with the thin pillars and airy greenhouse,… more»
$100 Oddball: 1971 Krager Motorhome
According to Hemmings, just a couple dozen of these unusual Krager motorhomes were ever built, which is a potential blessing considering the awkward looks. Based on a International Harvester chassis, I’d imagine parts are hard to come by these… more»
Boost Coupe: 1990 Pontiac Sunbird GT Turbo
I have fond memories of a high school friend who owned a Sunbird GT convertible, a completely accidental find on the owner’s part. It was a winter car to accompany his Trans Am project, and as a Pontiac enthusiast,… more»
Rare Sportomatic? 1974 Porsche 914
For a while, I was checking out Copart pretty much weekly, going so far as to attempt to bid on a late 80s BMW 3-Series. For a litany of reasons, I’ve not paid much attention to the site –… more»
Ran When Parked: 1971 Honda Z600 Coupe
Not too long ago, I was close to pulling the trigger on a Honda N600 project. That dashboard-mounted shifter will get me every time. But my resistance to the project grew the more I read about how down on… more»
