Mauck MSV 1120s

The low floor allowed easier wheelchair access vs. a typical bus. Basically, this is a smaller version of a rock band’s touring bus with…

Recently, we posted a 1980s Celica in okay condition. Here’s the original – a 1976 Celica GT that appears to be in great shape. The seller provides quite a bit of info, which is always nice. The claimed mileage is 63K miles, which is amazing, but the interior condition seems to back it up. Two…

Finally, a complete Honda S600
We’ve posted a couple of these recently, but they’ve been projects and it’s been hard to get a feel for the real value of these. Finally, a nice, complete one has arrived. Despite a reserve, the starting price was low enough, so the market will speak. As for the car itself, suffice it to say…

Almost as cool as an M5: E34 540i 6-Speed
Every enthusiast knows the manual trans-equipped BMW 540i is among the best sedans ever made. Yes, the M5s ramped things up, but 540s offer more than ample power in a true sleeper package. The E39 is still seen fairly often with low-ish miles, but the E34 example has become pretty rare in good shape, and…

Weirdest Limo in Beverly Hills?
Well, maybe it’s the most boring limo. This is a six-door limo, which pretty much means it was used by a funeral home or maybe an airport transport company back in the day. Good news is it’s not a hearse, so the bodies weren’t in this thing. Also, if you have a lot of kids,…

When Saleen made SUVs
It’s the turn of the millennium, and gas is a buck a gallon. SUVs are at peak popularity, and everyone knows someone with a Ford Explorer. Of course, that infamous that little Firestone incident hasn’t rolled over yet. We know Saleen for their wicked tuned Mustangs, but few remember the rarest Saleen of them all–the XP8. Okay,…

A Delica, not a Celica
Today we find yet another Los Angeles craigslist gem. Only it’s actually in British Columbia, which I’m told is in neither Britain nor Columbia. Apparently it’s Canadian–but wait, it’s fresh off the boat from Japan. Talk about identity issues. Once upon a time, Mama Mitsubishi christened her baby Delica. As in Celica, except more likely to break your legs…
