    M Coupes are the Stuff of Legend. This isn’t One.

    Most enthusiasts know about the BMW Z3 M Coupe, which is a performance legends known for amazing handling and superb, M3-based engines.  What some don’t realize is that there were more pedestrian versions of the Z3 Coupe.  Today’s feature is a 3.0i, which means it has 330i performance in a lighter, smaller coupe.   This…

  • Limited Edition Mercury Zephyr

    Limited Edition Mercury Zephyr

    Because any old Mercury Zephyr is just too common, we present the Zephyr Z7.  From a performance standpoint, one must assume this is better than a BMW Z3 or Z4 and almost as good as a Z8. Most Zephyrs were amazingly boring four-doors, but this version is instead a strange two-door.  Okay, it’s fairly stylish…

  • Maxima Coupe?  Essentially, yes!

    Maxima Coupe? Essentially, yes!

    Okay, so this wasn’t badged as a Maxima due to its age, but we all know the 810 was the predecessor to the Maxima, with some even badged “810 Maxima” as part of the transition.  What does all this mean?  In this case, it’s not only a two-door Maxima, but it includes rear-wheel drive, inline…

  • VW Type 4 x 2

    VW Type 4 x 2

    The Type 4 (411 and 412) was Volkswagen’s mid-sized offering in the late 60s and early 70s and was offered in three body styles: four-door sedan, two-door coupe and three-door wagon.  Interestingly, the 411 was VW’s very first four-door sedan, although we are featuring the other two body styles today. This family of cars had…

  • Mullet Car?  It’s not what you think.

    Mullet Car? It’s not what you think.

    The seller did a fine job of hiding this fact in he photos with strategically terrible angles, but this IS a mullet car.  Police car in front, sporty coupe in back. This generation of Caprice had a fourteen model year run, which is actually longer than the current Lincoln navigator.  If the front of this…

  • 70s Styling Icon?

    70s Styling Icon?

    Ah yes, the Riviera boat tail!  This car is included here because of its highly unusual styling and, well, the fact that I haven’t seen one in a long time.  Pony and muscle cars overshadow the personal luxury coupes of the 60s and 70s, which means that there are big block beauties out there which…

  • Finally, a complete Honda S600

    Finally, a complete Honda S600

    We’ve posted a couple of these recently, but they’ve been projects and it’s been hard to get a feel for the real value of these.  Finally, a nice, complete one has arrived. Despite a reserve, the starting price was low enough, so the market will speak. As for the car itself, suffice it to say…

  • Cool Fiat 124 Coupé (CC)

    Cool Fiat 124 Coupé (CC)

    Here’s one you don’t see often, the Fiat 124 Coupé, this being the third generation, known as the 124 CC.  These rear-wheel-drive coupes offer interesting styling and this CC had the largest displacement and highest output offered in this body. The seller claims this went in for paint in 2008 and was never fully reassembled.…
