The fastest sedan made in America
Well, at the time, it was, as the ads proudly proclaimed. Most remember the original Taurus SHO and its ability to shock most vehicles sold at the time. For model years 1991 and 1992, however, the SHO was not the quickest domestic sedan. That honor belonged to the Dodge Spirit R/T. This beast of a…

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…

Take your pick: Euro cabriolets with fixed roof parts
Like partial convertibles? Well, this is your lucky day! Car #1: We mentioned the XJS Cabriolet (XJS-C) when we recently posted a US market XJS manual, and this one just came along. This one is a grey market manual and a very rare beast Stateside. Car #2: On the same day, we found this E30…

Forbidden Fruit: Peugeot 406 Coupe V6
This was one of my favorite cars to spot when living in France. It’s cool to see one in North America, but there’s pretty much no way to drive this legally in the US…too bad, as the Pininfarina styling is really cool. This one proudly wears a good 90s color, too. The only problem here…

Neighborhood sightings from July 19, 2013
Finally, the GTX was out and uncovered. It’s a ’71, as this was the only year in this body. The 440 has the cool “air grabber” hood. This gem is around pretty often, always with its borderline gaudy V12 badges. It’s interesting to think how expensive this once was…

Land Rover 101FC
These beasts don’t come up for sale often, but they’re awfully cool. This could be just right for an eccentric collector. This one has apparently been re-engined with a modern Rover 3.9L V8. The seller goes out of his or her way to point out how fast this vehicle is, which is a bit odd,…

Good, honest Turbo Brick
We love Volvo Bricks and,of course, love Turbo Bricks even more. The seller gives a good amount of info here and this seems like a great, original car. With one of these, the teacher’s car story fits perfectly. The only downside is it’s severely lacking in clutch pedal. Would you keep it as-is and hope…

Hen’s tooth: XJS with manual trans
The XJS unjustly gets a bad rap. Anything following the E-Type was likely to be considered ugly. It is also much more a Grand Tourer vs. the Series I and II E-Types, which were trues sports cars. Finally, the V12 also got a justified bad reputation for complexity and poor reliability through the smog-controlled 70s.…
