Anybody who’s been watching the classic Japanese car craze of the last five to ten years will know the alphanumeric 4AGE engine designation. Even if 22R and 2T-C don’t mean much to you, 4AGE still means the sweet, revvy inline four cylinder with a Yamaha designed head, famous for appearances in Toyota’s MR2, Corolla GT-S, and Corolla FX16. However, the engine also made lesser-known appearances in cars like the Geo Prism GSi and this 1988 Chevrolet Nova Twin Cam for sale for $3450 in Portland, OR.

November 4, 2015Powerful Goatcart – 1979 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon
November 3, 2015Some cars unambiguously epitomize their country of origin, often showing off what made the country great. Mercedes’ W123 sedans couldn’t be more German, a 1959 Cadillac couldn’t be more American, and a TVR couldn’t be more British. That kind of comparison isn’t always flattering, but it doesn’t mean you can’t love it all the same – check out this 1979 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon for sale for C$1500 (currently US$1150) in Edmonton, AB. Thanks to reader 1977ChevyTruck for this submission.
96 in a Nice Frock – 1973 Saab Sonett III
November 2, 2015With the demise of Saab, now 4 years ago, and the fact that 3 Saabs are ancestors of the RustyButTrusty fleet, it’s hard to overlook an affordable Saab. Saabs are already unusual cars, but if you take that unusual car and clothe it in an Italian-inspired, fiberglass body with seats for two and the obligatory hatchback, you have something truly unusual. Frankly, they make their compatriot sports car, the attractive Volvo P1800, seem downright plain. Check out this 1973 Saab Sonett III for sale for $2700 in Kalispell, MT.
