Bring (Old) Money: 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190D Wagon

The Mazda Capella was known as the 626 in markets outside of Japan and these sleek third-generation cars, manufactured from late-1982 to 1987, were quite a change from the somewhat-frumpy-but-lovable second-generation cars. This great-looking 1984 Mazda 626 LX is… more»

The Ultimate Omni: 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T

Stalled Speedster Convert: ’82 Porsche 911 Targa

Convertible Drag Car: 1962 Pontiac Catalina

The terms “convertible” and “drag racing” don’t typically go together, as convertibles often lack the rigidity necessary for high-powered drag racing. Nobody told this Pontiac that! It has a custom traction bar welded to the differential, and peeling paint… more»
