The 1960s and early 1970s truly were a golden era for the sports car, one that took another 30 years to fully return. To replace the fun but sometimes challenging machinery of that age, we’ve got some great sports cars like the Miata, Elise, and BR-Z/FR-S, and that’s only a short list. While cars like the Triumph TRs and MGB were best sellers, other cars like the Opel GT enjoyed a respectable amount of success, selling just over 100,000 cars in its 5 years of production. Check out this 1971 Opel GT for sale for $4000 in Stockton, CA.

September 12, 2014Naming Game – 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

And as if that’s not bad enough, it also lives in the shadow of its hot-rod hybrid brother, the Tiger. So let’s take a look at the Alpine, which featured greater civility than its competition while maintaining a decent power output and slightly more flamboyant style than the competition. Check out this 1965 Sunbeam Alpine for sale for $2250 near Concord, CA.
Ich Bin Ein – 1973 Alfa Romeo Berlina
September 11, 2014RustyButTrusty will never miss an opportunity to share a moderately-priced Alfa Berlina. Not so long ago, these were available in nice shape for $3000, if you could find one, but in this modern day of high prices for cult classics like the Alfa Giulia TI and Super sedans, people are looking for more affordable alternatives, driving up the prices of those cars. So now the same price gets you a Berlina that’s said to be a project car. Thanks a lot, car collecting jerks. Check out this 1973 Alfa Romeo Berlina for sale for $3500 in Redwood City, CA.
