Rock you like a Typhoon
Today, GM faces a PR disaster brewing from pre-bankruptcy cost-conscious decision-making. But in the early ’90s, they were obsessed with natural disasters. Before Saleen modified Explorers, there was the Typhoon and its Syclone stablemate. Transformed from the GMC Jimmy/Sonoma, these turbo V6 trucks were the modern evolution of the Buick Grand National concept. Aided by AWD, a…

Not for US consumption: 1998 Mistubishi Pajero Jr. "Flying Pug"
We’ve never seen one of these and probably won’t for years. This 1998 can’t be registered in the US for almost ten more years. This supposedly isn’t an official kei car due to size, but it’s in the same vain. The Pajero Junior was a small SUV for the Japan market and this Flying Pug…

Jimny, anyone?
We’ve featured a couple of Suzuki Samurais here, but never this original, 1970s version. The seller claims it’s one of the best, and we can’t dispute that. We’ve seen these for sale before, but usually in some state of dis-assembly. This one appears to be complete and, with no reserve, it will find a new…

Volvo 122 + Toyota 4×4 = Win!
There are a lot of example of strange choices involving cars and pickup, or other 4×4, frames and running gear. We once posted a Datsun roadster in this category. Usually, these vehicles are only very strangely appealing and would are posted primarily as jokes. This combination of 1967 Volvo 122 wagon and Toyota 4×4,however, works…

Rare and Complete with Battle Scars: Nissan Stanza 4WD Wagon
In the mid-to-late 80s, the three major Japanese automakers decided they needed small- to medium-sized wagons with 4WD, perhaps to compete with Subaru and Eagle. 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…

More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4
The other day, we posted an AMC Eagle Kammback and referenced the other available body styles. It’s been awhile since we featured an SX4, which was the “sporty” Eagle liftback, and this one happened along. We dig the four-speed manual and apparent overall condition of this car, even with the Shelby stripes. That being said,…

Jacked up Gremlin?
Yes, that’s more or less what it is. Most people alive at any point in the 70s have vague recollections of the AMC Eagle brand – the one that existed before the Chrysler purchase of AMC and the ill-fated Eagle Medallion. The Eagle line was all about four-wheel-drive in passenger cars, with the station wagon…

Meatball command? VolvoTP21 Sugga Command car
Volvo had AWD/4WD vehicles long before Judge Reinhold climbed under one in the late 90s. Here we have a Swedish military command vehicle which mostly speaks for itself. Are you a Volvo fan? Might you be a huge fan of the Swedish military? This could be the car for you! The seller claims it doesn’t…

It’s easy to articulate our feelings on this vehicle
We’ve never seen one of these, but we already like it. There is little information available on this one. Most Google hits relate to this one being for sale off and on for quite some time. This one needs a good geaneology project… Regardless, we’re sure it would make a great daily driver. Click for…
