  • Jimny, anyone?

    Jimny, anyone?

    We’ve featured a couple of Suzuki Samurais here, but never this original, 1970s version. The seller claims it’s one of the best, and we can’t dispute that.  We’ve seen these for sale before, but usually in some state of dis-assembly.  This one appears to be complete and, with no reserve, it will find a new…

  • Volvo 122 + Toyota 4×4 = Win!

    Volvo 122 + Toyota 4×4 = Win!

    There are a lot of example of strange choices involving cars and pickup, or other 4×4, frames and running gear.  We once posted a Datsun roadster in this category.  Usually, these vehicles are only very strangely appealing and would are posted primarily as jokes.  This combination of 1967 Volvo 122 wagon and Toyota 4×4,however, works…

  • More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4

    More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4

    The other day, we posted an AMC Eagle Kammback and referenced the other available body styles.  It’s been awhile since we featured an SX4, which was the “sporty” Eagle liftback, and this one happened along.  We dig the four-speed manual and apparent overall condition of this car, even with the Shelby stripes.  That being said,…

  • Jacked up Gremlin?

    Jacked up Gremlin?

    Yes, that’s more or less what it is.  Most people alive at any point in the 70s have vague recollections of the AMC Eagle brand – the one that existed before the Chrysler purchase of AMC and the ill-fated Eagle Medallion.  The Eagle line was all about four-wheel-drive in passenger cars, with the station wagon…

  • A Pathfinder that’s not a Nissan

    A Pathfinder that’s not a Nissan

    Many companies have modified domestic vans to four-wheel drive over the years, but this is a pretty early version and the bodywork makes it ever more interesting. Yes, it’s a chop-top, full-size van!  These guys thought of this long before Top Gear did it to their Espace.  We’re not sure exactly what the use case…

  • It’s not a Bronco, it’s not a Blazer…it’s a Ramcharger.

    It’s not a Bronco, it’s not a Blazer…it’s a Ramcharger.

    Even better, it’s a Ramcharger Prospector SE Royal Edition!  I remember a Ramcharger Prospector in the neighborhood when growing up.  Although I’m a Bronco guy, this always seemed like a cool, obscure alternative. It’s really too bad we never got the third generation Ramcharger, which was only available in Mexico.  I once saw one around ten…

  • Boxed-in Scout II

    Boxed-in Scout II

    We love the International Scout II, presumably because it has Bronco capability with the bonus of an Orphaned brand (at least from a consumer vehicle standpoint).  This one appears to be something of a garage fixture and also has a big-ass, 80s/early 90s-style audio system. The seller indicates this is a non-running truck at the…

  • French Jeep: Citroën Méhari

    French Jeep: Citroën Méhari

    The Citroën Méhari was a sort of French Jeep.  What more do we need to say? This claims to be a genuine US-spec model, whatever that means.  Regardless,we think it’s cool as hell. Click for eBay ad Malibu, CA $8,685 with 11 bids and reserve not met Posted by CG Ad text: CITROEN MEHARI FRENCH…
