Biturbo con quattro porte
Do you want four doors to go with your fire hazard? If so, this car is just the ticket! This is essentially a Biturbo with four doors, but the 430 was the ultimate evolution of each, which means maximum output and various improvements over the years that reduced the fire risk usually associated with the…

Vitamin Z
Yes, someone actually did this to a Z32 Twin Turbo. Here we have an over-the-top show car based on a 1990 300ZX TT. Fittingly, the car is stock mechanically and has an automatic trans, despite all the souped-up looks and the faux nitrous tank. If you want to pose, this is the car for you!…

Merry Christmas! Beetle + Hummer? Why not?
This one’s new to us – the Humbug, which combines a VW Beetle with faux Hummer bits. Can you ever go wrong with a seller quote like the following? “Very few made it out in the public before the law suits were filed.” This one is obviously incomplete. It has a transaxle, but no engine…

ASC McLaren before the Mustang
Most auto enthusiasts are aware of the ASC McLaren Mustangs built for the 1987 through 1990 model years. Those were notable for their raked windscreens and two-seater configuration. Still, many scratched their heads at the cars, as a convertible was readily available from Ford. Not so many enthusiasts know that ASC first worked their convertible…

Or, maybe they knew AWD was coming on the Tempo/Topaz twins and that they wouldn’t add wagon variants. This was Nissan’s version, known as the Prairie in Japan and some…

Non-Sports Car Triumph: Standard 10 Sedan
Most people think of the TR series of sports cars when the topic of Triumphs comes up. A decent number might also think of the pocket-sized Spitfire or related GT6 or the rather interesting Stag grand touring cabriolet. With all that sports car and grand touring history, it’s easy to forget that there were Triumph-badged…

Just another rear-engine Fiat
We recently featured a Siata Spring, which is essentially a heavily modified Fiat 850. Little did we know a genuine Fiat 850 would appear days later. You take your pick: REALLY oddly retro-styled Siata or the original, quirky Fiat. Keep in mind both are slow! Of course, the asking price here is about half that…

Recent, yet Rare: Altima SE-R 6MT
The Altima SE-R was one of the best cars Nissan never really launched. It came with an upgraded engine (vs. the regular V6 Altima), drove well, handled well, soundned great, had some cool interior bits and had beautiful forged wheels. Why have you hardly heard of it? It’s because almost nothing was spent to launch…
