Good Buy? Rust-Free 1986 Subaru BRAT

Rare And Desirable? 1969 Subaru 360 Young S

No Reserve: 1973 Datsun 240Z

Datsun always denied that they took any inspiration for the 240Z from Jaguar’s iconic E-Type. Like so many people, I have some trouble believing that claim. However, one of the significant advantages that the 240Z held over the Jag… more»

One-Family Owned 1989 Honda CRX Si

The value of Honda’s CRX has taken off lately, like a lot of other cars that a decade ago most of us wouldn’t have given a second thought to. At least as far as them being collectible and valuable… more»

Japanese Fire Truck: 1991 Mazda Bongo Brawny

Nearly Perfect: 1983 Datsun 720 King Cab 4×4

Survivors in any form are generally appreciated by enthusiasts, but survivors that wear their original graphics kit and factory decals in near-perfect condition occupy a particularly warm spot in the hearts of gearheads. This 1983 Datsun 720 King Cab… more»

4Runner Granddaddy: 1983 Toyota Trekker 4×4
