Rainbow Bright’s 1977 Chevy Scottsdale CK1
I believe Rainbow Bright had a car accessory, but I never knew about the full-sized truck. That seems to be the inspiration behind the customization applied to this 1977 Chevrolet Scottsdale pickup,which sheds the macho image of most full-sized pickups. Disregard the paint choices and this is a desirable 4×4 stepside with a 400 CID…

Claimed Super Low Mileage Jensen GT
We’ve featured the wonderful Jensen GT once before, but that was a project car. This appears to be a sub-9K mile car in amazing condition. Our biggest worries here would be issues arising due to lack of use, and the fact that we’re not huge fans of white cars. Either way, this is one of…

A Duster Worth Saving
Although the muscle car era had peaked as of about 1971, there were interesting offerings around for several years afterward.

Fiat 128 Estate
Here’s a rarely-seen-in-US Fiat 128 three-door Estate. As the seller states, some might mistake this for a Datsun 510 from a distance. Sadly, this is a front-wheel drive car, unlike the Datsun; but the big upside – aside from pure rarity- is its unique three-door wagon body. It looks like the current owner has started…

This Site Could Provide Endless Fun

Rare in the US: Fiat 126
The 126 was Fiat’s early 1970s replacement for the aged 500, which had been around since the late 1950s. These never officially came to the US, so they’re rare here. This car’s 126p designation means this Italian-engineered microcar was made in Poland. Yes, this is a microcar and it gets extra points for its rear…

Our Most 70s Post in Quite Some Time

Yes, this is a full 70s custom built on a Datsun pickup in the heart of the Corvette Summer days. Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $7,500 The…
