A Hooptie I-Mark Turbo? Yes, really.
It’s not like Isuzu I-Marks come along every day in 2014, not to mention turbos. It’s too bad that this is the one that came along, but how could I not post it? Based on the ad text, the seller did not have anything to do with the modifications. Given the car is in Lompoc,…

The First Infiniti Convertible
Infiniti launched in 1989 with two models: The flagship Q45 sedan and the M30 coupe. Compared to Lexus, which launced with the ES300 and LS400 sedans, Infiniti’s was not really a volume launch strategy. Here we have the convertible version of the M30, which launched a year or two later and, as one might guess,…

Neglected Gem? 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T
We’ve posted a nice Spirit R/T before, but this isn’t that. Still, these are rare and were fast and fun cars when new. Can this be saved? This looks like it’s lived outside in the desert for far too long, but is the damage all cosmetic? Unfortunately, the seller gives essentially no details, nor an…

Thinking about jumping on the Seahawk bandwagon? Here it is!
It’s often stated in the auto enthusiast world that personalization is great right up until you need to sell. Mods done to unusual personal taste limit appeal to the mass market. Also, it’s not unusual to see someone attempting to ride a car’s fame, whether from auction results (think microcars after the Bruce Weiner auction…

A Kougar, not a Cougar
There was a time when the concept of Jaguar E-Type “donor cars” existed. These days, almost any E is worth restoring, but that wasn’t always true, based on values. In the 70s, the Kougar Sport was a kit car that used E-Type running gear and other bits to make a nostalgiac ‘vintage’ racer. Interestingly, these…

Almost a Failure to Launch: Pontiac Solstice Coupe
We recently posted a Saab 9-4x, which barely escaped the plant before Saab shut down due to GM’s decades of mismanagement. Here we have another vehicle from another GM brand that didn’t survive – the Pontiac Solstice Coupe. The Solstice was a good car to begin with, but the Coupe ramps things up in the…

Kei Car Sweetness: Nissan Figaro
These are pretty much legendary, so we don’t have to say too much. The biggest question is whether a CA title is possible. Methinks it’s not, as this is a 1991 vehicle. Presumably, that’s why the seller has it in CA under FL title. Not only do we love the car, we love the low-res…

Greatest Bodystyle of all time?
Are you tired of waiting for Audi to put their 2005 Shooting Brake Concept into production? Having trouble finding room in your budget for a Ferrari FF? Not to worry, you can scratch that “3-door-wagon” itch that we all have by purchasing this 1980 Pinto Squire Wagon! We’re not sure if it is the strange…

This has no business in the US: Wolseley Six Limousine
I have certainly never seen one of these and I can’t imagine what it’s doing in the US. This seems to have a transverse I6 and thus front-wheel drive. Basically, it’s a microcar limo, of sorts. Click for eBay ad St. Louis, MO $6,200 with 9 bids and reserve not met -Post by CG Interior…
