Quickie: M-m-m-my Verona
We featured a picture of a Suzuki Verona the other day. Edmunds has a good write-up on this short-lived experiment, but suffice it to say it was the result of one of GM’s many theories on what to do with Suzuki. This particular theory involved importing cars from GM-owned, Korea-based Daewoo to sell as Suzukis.…

Mazda’s 80s Rally Homologation-mobile
These days, US customers can choose between the WRX/STI and the Evo for Japanese rally-inspired street cars, but, for years, both were forbidden fruit on these shores. That doesn’t mean there were no choices, however, as we did get the Celica All-Trac Turbo, Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and our feature car, the Mazda 323GTX. With 130…

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. Click for eBay ad Santa Rosa, CA $5,000 BIN with offers accepted 08/08/2013: Appears to have ended unsold… Fogs, stripes,…

Mystic SVT pizza?
Do you remember the 1996 Mystic Cobra? This was a limited edition SVT Cobra Mustang Coupe (no Convertibles were made) with special BASF paint that looked green, purple or gold depending on viewing angle. 2,000 were built – er…painted – out of something like 7,500 total coupes. This one has low miles and appears to…

Metrosexual Scratch ‘n Dent special
Here we have a recently wrecked, but otherwise great condition, Geo Metro convertible with 5-speed transmission. Those alive and aware in the 90s remember these little roller skates. We think it could be an entertaining ride, and a great candidate for a Swift GTI/GT or other swap. This car has probably the longest seller description…

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.…

Audi 200 Quattro 20V wagon
Audi practically disappeared from the US market after the ‘unintended acceleration’ debacle, which really just meant the pedals were closer together than yuppies thought they should be. That near-disappearance makes this 1991 Audi 200 rare to begin with. Add in the wagon body and manual transmission and you have something you may never see again.…

That 70s TV car
Here we have what claims to be a factory original Starsky and Hutch edition Torino. What’s not to love? Well, if you didn’t love the show, you shouldn’t care about this car, as it’s just a 351 two-barrel Gran Torino with Hollywood magic stirred in. Also, someone went a bit custom on the interior of…
