Humpty Dumpty Sprint Turbo
This isn’t our first Sprint Turbo and it won’t be our last. Here we have a cheap example at $750, but the owner has partially disassembled things under the hood. Will you put the poor thing back together? The seller claims all parts are there – bagged and labeled – but we always wonder why…

Remember the Shelby GT350H?
Well, this ain’t it. However, this was an attempt at doing the same thing during Shelby’s Chrysler phase and working with Thrifty. Of all things, they chose a Dodge Shadow. Despite that, the CSX is one we’ve always wanted to try out – quite a bit of power in a small package. One can only…

Real or Mirage?
We recently featured a mid-70s Dodge Colt and previously featured a Colt RS from the twin-stick era. However, this is our first from this middle generation. In this case, the car is badged as a Mitsubishi Mirage, but the turbo hot hatch recipe remains. This is not your everyday seller quote: “It’s a blast to…

Clapped up MX-6
We really like the MX-6 GT. Unfortunately, this was both modified and neglected (not necessarily at the same time). This was, of course, the mechanical twin to the Ford Probe Turbo, but the more conservative Mazda two-door coupe body style has aged better. 4WS was available in certain years, but this one doesn’t seem…

Three cylinders and 1 liter of pure 80s sexy

Is the SVO just too common for you?
If so, we have the car for you. The SVO was not the only factory turbo Mustang in the mid 1980s. For a couple years, there was also the Turbo GT. It didn’t have all the SVO goodies, but had a similar 2.3L turbocharged inline four. SVOs were all hatchbacks, so this is a unique…

Amazing!
This was never meant to be such a T-Bird/Cougar-heavy site, but they just keep popping up in weird searches. Click here for Ebay ad As of press time: $3,500 optimistic starting price with no bids 03/25/2013 update: Shockingly, this ended with no bids at the $3,500 opening price… Who could say no to this face?…

Colt GTS Turbo!
Okay, some posts here will show genuinely desirable cars, but they’ll tend to be unusual and/or forgotten, cult-classic-types. For your enjoyment, we hereby submit a Colt GTS Turbo! Seller mentions it being a Black Edition and rare – can’t verify that, but it’s possible it has a bit of a black gold thing going on.…
