Joshua here,

Now, let’s get into it!⚡

VR6 SWAP

1992 Volkswagen GTI

~50,000 miles, manual, fwd, 6-cylinder

$10,000 / Auburn, WA

Something about a lowered Volkswagen just looks right. This GTI has had its original engine removed and has a VR6 engine in its place.

RED ON RED

1969 Opel GT

~67,000 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$10,000 / Missoula, MT

For as long as I can remember, I have thought these were some of the coolest-looking older sports cars. Especially the rear end.

STREET ROD BUG

1969 Volkswagen Beetle

~92,000 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder,

$8,000 / Crosby, MN

I had a hard time choosing which picture to use for this one. I feel like this one shows just how wide the aftermarket body kit is on this Bug. It also has rectangular headlights vs. the stock round ones.

ALL BROWN EVERYTHING

1987 AMC Eagle

~172,800 miles, automatic, 4wd, 6-cylinder

$9,500 / Portland, OR

There was another one of these for sale on the East Coast and the listing stated how hard they were to find running and affordable. That one was in worse condition and was more expensive. These 4×4 wagons look great lifted.

DISINTEGRATED SEATS

1988 Toyota Supra Turbo

~85,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, turbo, t-top, pop-up headlights

$5,500 / Mountain View, CA

The listing states this is a running project but looking at the pictures, I’m not convinced. This Supra would need a decent amount of work to be back in good shape all around.

➡️ 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!

LOW MILE SAMURAI

1987 Suzuki Samurai

~28,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 4-cylinder, convertible

$8,900 / Ventura, CA

Another blue box to round out the list. This Samurai is in excellent condition, which isn’t surprising considering it only has 28k miles.
