Not the V8 You Were Expecting: BMW 2002 with a Buick 215
/
I’ve made my personal fascination with the Buick/Olds aluminum 215ci V8 known here on many occasions. Aside from gracing some of GM’s most awesome evolutionary dead ends of the early 60s, it lived on in one form or continent or another 40 years.

I have Car and Driver and…

Hooniverse Fastback Friday – How about a Pinto and a Bobcat?
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Fastback Fridays. There is nothing fast about the two cars in this posting, but they are two neat little cars that are probably worth nothing close to their asking prices, but does that make them bad?

So I took this suggestion under consideration, and while looking through eBay Motors I spotted this…
