For a certain segment of the population, this car will induce reactions like “Why in God’s name are you wasting my time with this?”, while others will be reminded of, say, prom, or a ride to the airport. Well, there’s a couple of reasons this car might be interesting, besides nostalgia – attrition makes this a rare vehicle, it appears to be in excellent condition, and holy crap it’s an eighties limo without scary stains or an Aquanet dispenser! Check out this 1986 Lincoln Town Car limousine for sale for $3950 in Kearny Villa, CA.

FoMoCo Tuesday – 1986 Lincoln Town Car Limousine
February 18, 2014Stanced Again – 1982 BMW 320i
February 18, 2014While the E21 BMW 3-series shares significant responsibility for the 3-series being what it is today, E21s are largely ignored by enthusiasts. They suffer from heavy safety equipment, dubious aesthetics caused by that equipment, and low-powered engines designed with a primary goal of passing emissions standards and maintaining a semblance of driveability. That makes European market models – especially the 323i – much more appealing, and secondarily North American cars that have had European market parts retrofitted. You can find this 1982 BMW 320i for sale for $1700 in Normal Heights, CA.
Ford Monday – 1973 Ford Pinto
February 17, 2014Looking around at British classic car magazines, you can easily find some of the less popular classics in fantastic original condition with low miles for seemingly low prices (sometimes even 3 figures, although once you translate from pounds it’s not as impressive). And perhaps there’s a reason old Nige only drove his Allegro five times a year, but nonetheless, there’s that feeling of getting a nicer car than should be possible for the money. The same could be the case for less-popular American classics, although the chances of finding something that might take a corner or two well are slimmer. You can find this 1973 Ford Pinto for sale in San Diego, CA for $3200 (or £1914).
