Found on Craigslist: one-owner 510
/
A unique 1972 blue DATSUN 510 4-dr Automatic sedan, one of only four or five known showroom-stock 510s remaining anywhere While I cannot verify the accuracy of the sellers statement, I gotta say that this particular 510 would be considered extraordinarily rare.

Last Call- Cruel Mistress Edition
/
The owner of this Testarossa needs to take it in and have the transmission looked at. It seems it’s getting sloppy seconds.

Inaccurately Named 1970 Corolla Sprinter Still Runs Great
/
We’re on a bit of a ’70s Japanese iron tin thing today, it seems. Hopefully that’s not a problem. Whenever we see slightly rough, but really cheap vintage imports, this is the end result we have in mind. It’s low, but not too low. The wheels are just right. The interior’s clean, with racing buckets.…

/
Open source development. A term seemingly more at home in your last IT meeting than in a discussion about car design. However there is a new start-up automotive company that is looking to change that and there name is Local Motors.

Play The Car Transporter Game!
/
Okay, so it’s not really all that much of a “game”, per se. There’s no prize, no winners or losers, and no penalties if you get it wrong. So in that sense, it’s like any game intended for children today; we want to ensure that we preserve your self-esteem. As we all know, whether you…

A Lamborghini Sport-Ute? Let's Talk About This
/
Okay, I’m no big fan of Sport Utes. I don’t particularly like them in any variety, even though I do have an unexplainable desire for a Volvo XC90. So my first reaction to these conceptual renderings was very likely the same as yours: “Kill It With Fire”. But hold on there, Sparky. Let’s talk about…

V.I.S.I.T. – Don't See That Every Day Edition
/
This was one of those vehicular discoveries you just never expect to see; and when you do see them, you don’t expect things to work out so well that you get to chat cars with the owner for a half-hour or so. But nevertheless, that’s how it all turned out.

Hooniverse Asks- What Was Your Worst Car-Buying Experience?
/
Whether it was through a dealer, craigslist, or calling the number on a For Sale sign in the window of a street-parked ride, we’ve all had some less than wonderful experiences with buying a car. Some of them just leave a bad taste in your mouth. Some, make you question the fate of humanity- let’s…

Lightweight Galaxie is the Jumbo Shrimp of the Car World
/
Here’s a nicely completed Lightweight Galaxie replica offered on the Detroit Craigslist for $19,950. I don’t know about you, but it turns on my staging lights. The first Ford Lightweight Galaxie was built in mid-1963. That car, driven by legendary Ford driver Dick Brannan, brought the blue oval brand their first NHRA Super/Stock record, and…

Quick Reminder – HCOTY Polls Close at Noon
/
That would be noon where I am. As in about 2.5 hours from now. As of right now, it looks like The Beast has opened up a bit of a lead over the Basement Lambo, but maybe the Lutz has an army of haxx0rs waiting in the wings, ready to bombard our servers with G8…

Hooniverse Asks- What is your most embarrassing oops?
/
Having been a licensed driver for almost 20 years I can proudly say my oopsies are few and far between. I have never been in any sort of serious accident, minor fender-benders notwithstanding. In that time I have only had 3 (I think) speeding tickets, the most recent being in ’98. Don’t get me wrong,…

To Hoon or not to Hoon, that is the six hundred dollar question
/
WWJSD? I would totally take it to LeMons if there was one close to me. Fiats do have an extensive racing history, why wouldn’t I want to Hoon the hell out of it?
