Taxi, Taxi! 1965 Austin FX4

While there’s some rust in the doors of this taxi, the body as a whole doesn’t look too bad, and it’s been driven less than 80,000 miles. Ok, I’m skeptical of that claim as well! Maybe 180, 28o, or… more»

Jeff in the Junkyard: Foreign Relations

Rolled Runner: 1958 Panhard Dyna Z

We have featured a couple of these quirky little French cars before, but none have looked quite like this! The car appears to have actually been in decent shape before the roll-over incident. The seller mentions that the engine… more»
