Not a Honey Bee, but a better B210
We love B210s, and especially the GX hatchbacks with manual transmissions and tachometers. This one ticks all the right boxes and adds some semi-tasteful accessorization that screams period correct, regardless of when it was done.

The beginning of the Subaru you know today
Here we have a 1979 Subaru DL wagon. While this wasn’t the beginning for Subaru in the US, most people know them as the AWD company and/or the wagon company, although we know there’s a WRX generation growing up now. This is where the 4WD and wago traditions started. Brown wheels are full of win.…

Nice MX-6 GT
We featured a beat up and somewhat modified white MX-6 GT early on, so we feel it’s a good thing to follow up with a nice, stock one. Miles aren’t super-low, but this looks like a good, honest used car. Yet again, no four-wheel steering here, but maybe that’s good from a maintenance expense perspective…

Tasty Suzuki Swift GT
Along with the Chevy Sprint Turbo (also a Suzuki Swift), we love the Swift GTI and GT. They’re effectively the same car, but it seems VW wasn’t happy about the GTI name, so it only lasted about one year. Instead of the usual three cylinder or SOHC four, these featured a DOHC 1.3 liter four…

Gelandejetero
Here we have a seller with a sense of humor,or at least we hope so. Some of you may remember that the Dodge Raider was a two-door Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero to the rest of the world), but when’s the last time you saw one, or even thought of one? The seller of this beauty provides…

Rare Honda 1300 Coupe 9
Here’s something we’ve never seen – Honda’s first “large” car, made for only a few years and with a high price tag. This is a gray market, RHD car, which is the case with any you’ll find in the US. The ad text below sums it up nicely. Really, though, what’s not the love? Weirdness…

The real NX, not the new Lexus thing
We love the Nissan NX2000. Your humble host once owned a 1993 Sentra SE-R – very closely related – and loved it. It’s high on the ‘would love to have another’ list. Here we have an SR20DET swap, which could make it even more fun. Of course, certain details on this car make us wonder…

Quickie: Remember the Stanza wagon?
Here we have a 1986 tall Stanza wagon with 4WD. It seems all the Japanese OEMs offered these small-but-tall compact and midsize car-based wagons in the 80s to early 90s. Along with the earlier AMC Eagle, shall we consider these the real predecessors to modern small crossovers? Unfortunately, this ad has little info and the…

Honda S600 three-fer
Old Hondas tend to come in groups and parts lots. These predecessors to the S2000 are the oldest Honda cars of all and this is quite a lot: three cars in various conditions and some engines, transmissions and other parts. We love these little sports cars for a variety of reasons, including extremely light weight,…

Sweet green Datsun
We love the Datsun 1200 – tiny, light and fun to drive in its own way, even with the rather wimpy stock engine. This one has some tasteful upgrades that generally preserve its classic looks. The only thing better would be a fastback of similar quality. Click for eBay ad Portland, OR $2,550 with 4…
