Now, let’s get into it! ⚡

PATINA PONY

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

unknown miles, automatic, rwd, 8 cylinder

$3,800 / Boise, ID

Perfect for a restoration or swap a big new engine into it and have a great-looking classic sleeper.

CLUTCHLESS CRESSIDA

1991 Toyota Cressida LS Swap

~250,814 miles, manual, rwd, 8 cylinder

$5,000 / Blythewood, SC

Clearly purpose-built and has a subtle hole in the hood. Would be a fun, unique drift car.

EXTRA MINI VAN

1994 Daihatsu Hijet Van

~90,000 miles, manual, 3 cylinder, rhd

$4,000 / Landing, NJ

Can't tell if this is the 2wd or 4wd version but either way a very cool Japanese Kei car at a reasonable price.

SHELBY’S WIFE’S SHELBY

1987 Dodge Shelby CSX

~33,822 miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder, turbo

$5,000 / Encino, CA

Car needs some love. It was previously owned by Carroll Shelby's wife. Would be a fun fact to pull out at meets or events.

MANUAL DISCOVERY

1996 Land Rover Discovery

~296,340 miles, manual, 4wd, 8 cylinder

$4,000 / Spartanburg, SC

I think the owner needs to (and probably would at this point) come down on the price. However, a manual Land Rover would be a blast to build.

➡️ If you buy a car listed in Good Deal Garage & email us a picture of yourself with the car, we’ll feature you in the newsletter PLUS send you something special in return!

DENTS OF THE SUN

1995 Honda Del Sol

~217,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder

$1,965 / Eugene, OR

Priced low due to some body damage. From the blown-out pictures, none of it looks too deep. A good PDR guy could make it look much better.

FACELIFT ESTATE

1997 Volvo 850 Turbo Estate

~297,000 miles, automatic, fwd, 5 cylinder, turbo

$2,000 / Hazlet, NJ

I love these turbo wagons. Another great foundation for a sleeper.

LOW-COST HI-JET

1995 Daihatsu Hijet Truck

~10,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 3 cylinder, rhd

$4,000 / Montville, CT

Super low mileage Japanese truck at an awesome price. I follow a guy who deals in these, and he would likely list this at or above $10k.

STRIPED SEVENTY-NINE

1979 Toyota Truck

~119,500 miles, manual, rwd, 4 cylinder

$4,800 / Mariposa, CA

I wish more cars had awesome paint jobs like this one. It just makes a cool truck even cooler.
