Japanese Fixer-Upper: 1968 Toyota Corona

Nicest One Left? 1969 Subaru 360 Deluxe

31K-Mile Survivor: 1979 Dodge Colt

Believe it or not, Dodge did actually make and sell a Colt that looked like this car in 1979, they weren’t all the new hatchback style. It was a transitional year and at least for a few months, they… more»

No Reserve Driver: 1987 Mazda RX-7

This 1987 Mazda RX-7 is a bone-stock example that is increasingly hard to find in this second-generation platform of Mazda’s iconic sports car. It is a naturally-aspirated model which is generally less desirable than the turbocharged examples, but you’re… more»

Stored For Years: 1979 Honda ATC70

Affordable Rotary: 1980 Mazda RX-7 GS

This 1980 Mazda RX-7 is offered for what seems like a very fair price given the impressive cosmetic condition and recent work that’s been completed. The first-generation models are by far the purest expression of Mazda’s rotary-powered wonder, even… more»

Super Bike Survivor: 1973 Kawasaki Mach III

Museum Quality 1965 Honda CB160
