Long Term Ownership: 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo
As the 280Z advanced to the 280ZX and then the 300ZX, the car’s appeal shifted. The 280Z retained a sporting demeanor, but by the time the luxuriously-appointed 280ZX arrived, a new buyer had emerged – one looking for a… more»
Ready To Restore: 1978 Toyota Celica GT
Long before the Toyota Celica became a front-wheel drive coupe and then died, it was a sports car with proper RWD. The era we’re talking about is the first half of the model’s 35-year lifespan, and it’s represented nicely… more»
Nicest One Left? 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R
One of the most detailed listings that I’ve seen in a long time, the seller of this 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R knocks it out of the park with photos and a fantastic description. This is a very rare car… more»
22K Mile and 1 Owner: 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary

Nicest One Left? 2005 Nissan Sentra S
Let’s face it, the Nissan Sentra is not going to become a sought-after collectible. Unlike a ’65 Ford Mustang or a ’57 Chevy Nomad, it will simply be an inexpensive means of transportation. However, this 2005 could be an… more»
Tastefully Modified: 1972 Datsun 240Z

Capable Crossover: 1997 Toyota RAV4 4×4

Power-Up Kit: 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Seca Turbo
Power-Up Kit? That sounds like something David Hasselhoff would have said to his car (K.I.T.T.) on Knight Rider just before jumping over a couple of bad guys with perfect hair. It was actually a factory kit to boost the… more»
34k Original Miles: No Reserve 1985 Toyota Celica GT-S Convertible

Solid Project: 1978 Datsun 280Z

Nicest One Left? 1984 Plymouth Conquest Turbo
