  • Seville Opera Coupe

    Seville Opera Coupe

    Here we have another early 80s “upgrade” to a domestic luxury car.  Your humble host’s grandmother had a Seville of this generation, but without the ‘mods’.  This is hideous, but we’re not sure if it’s really any better or worse than stock.

  • Quickie: Pimp your taHOe

    Quickie: Pimp your taHOe

    This is awesomely terrible in just about every way possible. Bagged with 7 switches?  Check! Lambo doors?  Check! Hideous wanna-be pimp interior with way too much going on?  Check!!! The seller is worried about scammers, but includes his or her home address in the ad.  Interesting choice, that one. Click for Craigslist ad Santa Ana,…

    Unique is one word for it

    Three cylinders and 1 liter of pure 80s sexy

    This car has a claimed 146K miles, but could pass for 46K.  This will make a tasty little pocket rocket for someone.  We showed the later, Canadian version before, but this is the original and was sold in the US. Click for eBay ad $1,775 with 21 bids and reserve not met Pahrump, NV 04/30/2013…

  • Lemons potential?

    Lemons potential?

    Talk the seller down the $500 or less and you’re just about good to go Lemons racing with a V6 and 4-speed.  Actually, you might get credit for the roll cage, as safety equipment isn’t supposed to be included in the Lemons $500 limit…hmm.  We’re not sure there’s a cheaper way to get one of…

  • Sighting: Can you hear the giant sucking sound?

    Sighting: Can you hear the giant sucking sound?

    Yes, we can too.  It’s because this is arguably the best (read: worst) of the three dustbuster minivans offered by GM in the 90s. Lumina APV is a close second, due to the failed attempt at making a family name out of Lumina, which consisted of a rental car/FWD taxi and a very odd minivan.…

  • Got teal?

    Got teal?

    It doesn’t get much more 90s than this.  The combination of convertible body and automatic transmission suggests this was originally acquired as part of a female mid-life crisis.
