Needs TLC: 1986 Toyota Tercel 4×4 Wagon
The Tercel sedan, launched in 1980, was born tall. Its high hood hid a longitudinally mounted engine stacked upon a transaxle driving the front wheels. This geometry made reformation into a 4×4 simple. Toyota made that move in 1983,… more»

Fake Rust Movie Car: 1979 Plymouth Volare
Medium Cashmere Metallic isn’t a color we see too often on Volares, and it goes well with the “Premier woodgrain trim” (is this actual wood?!) (just kidding). The seller says this car has been used for movies and in… more»

34K Miles? 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon
