Most enthusiasts have tried to forget this iteration. Why, then, is a automatic-equipped one here? It’s all in the “art.” Ignore the art and this is a…

UR Sylvia: 1978 S10 200SX Roller
The original 200SX was a stylized coupe built on the same platform as the B210/Sunny coupe. A family down the street had one of these when I was growing up, but these are rare finds today.

Fulfill Your Land Yacht Fantasies!
When I look at this car, I hear 70s porn music and picture a pimp walking up to it. The seller seems to agree, based on this quote: “This is a great Huggy Bear Cruiser.” This is a claimed 42K miles original and the condition supports that claim. The seller also claims it is one…

Save this Two-Fer from the Scrap Yard!
Oddly, we have never featured a Triumph GT6, despite it being a rarely-seen oddity among Triumphs. The GT6 is a coupe based on the Spitfire roadster and features an inline six in place of the Spitfire’s four cylinder engine.
