It’s Not A ____ _______: 1970 Opel GT

At no time during this story will you hear me utter the phrase: baby Corvette. I’m not even going to mention the term “baby Corvette” at all, just so we’re clear on that. This very cool, almost-baby-Corvette-like 1970 Opel GT is… more»

1966 Porsche 912 For Only $1,000?

What will $1,000 get you today in the world of old Porsches? Well, apparently not much. You could buy this half-a-912, but I’m not sure what you would do with it. The title is missing, but the seller thinks… more»

Survivor Square Light: BMW 2002 Tii

Over the last few years, values for mint examples of BMW’s 2002 Tii have been on the rise. I recently watched an episode of Wheeler Dealers where the garage-find Tii they bought sold for $35,000 after an initial investment (including purchase… more»

Glas Half Full: 1963 Glas Isar K 700

This cool little wagon is a 1963 Glas Isar K 700 and it’s located in Riihimaki, Finland, about an hour north of Helsinki. Yes, there would be some hefty shipping charges to bring this one across the pond. It’s listed on… more»
