Feel free to reply to this email to let me know what cars you’d love to see!

Now, let’s get into it!⚡

DENT-R-2

1987 Toyota MR2

~186,400 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, t-top, pop-up headlights

$6,000 / Acworth, VT

One of my favorite parts of the first gens is the upper plastic spoiler. It has “TOYOTA” etched into it and from behind the reflection is visible on the rear window.

DATSUN SWAP

1982 Nissan Maxima

~146,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, turbo

$5,500 / Las Vegas, NV

From what I’ve gathered, the person selling this is the son of the owner and has somewhat limited knowledge of the build. It appears to be a Maxima that has had a turbo engine from a Datsun swapped in along with other cosmetic modifications.

RARE SAAB

1974 Saab Sonett III

~84,314 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$6,200 / Homedale, ID

This is a pretty rare car with only 8,351 of them being made during their 5 years of production. Isn’t currently running but the owner states it will be “not hard”.

MYSTERY PRICE ISUZU

1992 Isuzu Bighorn

~136,000 miles, automatic, 4wd, 6-cylinder, turbo-diesel, rhd

$?,??? / Prineville, OR

When I picked this Isuzu I didn’t realize the price wasn’t listed. I still put it in because a turbo-diesel Japanese import Trooper was too cool to leave out.

4-DOOR BUNNY

1976 Volkswagen Rabbit

~13,779 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder, diesel

$7,000 / South Seattle, WA

For a nearly 50-year-old Volkswagen, this has crazy low mileage. The owner states it is only a 5-digit odometer so it could have 100k more miles. Either way, the paint and interior look great.

HEADREST STEREO

1991 Mazda RX-7

~99,450 miles, automatic, rwd, rotary, convertible, pop-up headlights

$2,700 / North Side Chicago, IL

Very low price for an RX-7. Slightly less desirable automatic convertible but still a cool car for the price. It does have one pretty cool feature, all convertible RX-7s come with stereo speakers built into the headrests.

GARAGE KEPT CIVIC

1986 Honda Civic

~32,412 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder

$4,250 / Casa de Oro, CA

This Civic was parked in a garage 10 years ago after failing a smog test. It is currently not running. The low mileage means it is in excellent condition. Everything looks fantastic except the headliner, I’m not sure what happened there.
