One of the few Datsun 510s with a stock engine
…and it’s a limo! Well, at least it’s a four-speed car, too. We have to wonder how this came about, but we can only guess. As the seller correctly points out, it has an 80s paint job, so that narrows down the timeframe unless it’s had a repaint. Interior shots are almost useless, but what…

Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6.3: One of our all-time favorites – with a twist
We love the W109 6.3L Mercedes. This is everything a sleeper should be – truly a muscle car hiding as a luxury sedan. Some day, your humble host WILL own one and the good news here is that the price of entry isn’t (yet) horrible. Repairs, on the other hand, could be interesting, to say…

Rotary masterpiece
We see Mazda rotary engines thrown into just about everything these days and we generally approve, but this seems like a fantastic version AND, for once, the car originally came with a Wankel. The RX-4 was one of Mazda’s many interesting, and relatively obscure, creations. It never came with this Wankel, however, as it’s the…

Datsun “Truckster.” A practical family vehicle?
Here we have someone’s homebrew project, but it’s hard to tell what the project goal was, if there was one. The seller mentions a swap here and describes the engine in the other car he or she is selling, but never bothers to mention what the powertrain is in this one. Details are frighteningly scarce…

Boxed-in Scout II
We love the International Scout II, presumably because it has Bronco capability with the bonus of an Orphaned brand (at least from a consumer vehicle standpoint). This one appears to be something of a garage fixture and also has a big-ass, 80s/early 90s-style audio system. The seller indicates this is a non-running truck at the…

Where have all the Monzas gone?
The Chevrolet Monza replaced the Vega for the 1975 model year and GM sold a great many of them in the second half of the 70s. Where did they all go? This one looks amazingly original from every angle and has apparently had an engine rebuild. Said engine is a 2.5L I4, so probably not…
