If you’re into small displacement sports cars, perhaps even the pretty little Etceterini with curvy bodies that seem impossibly well-proportioned for their size, as well as impossibly expensive relative to their size, you can’t overlook Fiat’s own 850 coupe. Designed by Boano, who had a few independent successes before joining the dark side, they managed to imbue much more elegance on this car than one could imagine. From the (relatively) long hood to the sloping rear deck and quad rear lights, this car was clearly meant to make sporting elegance accessible to l’uomo della strada. You can find this early 1967 Fiat 850 Sport Coupe for sale in Kelowna, WA for $3120.

Sick or Silly? 1989 Subaru Justy
December 26, 2013In spite of their low-rent status, 3-cylinder engine, and teeny little wheels, Subaru Justys never got the same level of mockery that Yugos or Geo Metros did. Perhaps it was the available 4wd, or the rugged-looking high-roof styling, or just their low profile due to low sales. Either way, with the standard powertrain, these are said to be pretty tough little cars. You can find this 1989 Subaru Justy 4wd for sale in Tacoma, WA for $3500.

Wedgy! 1986 Subaru XT Turbo 4×4 (plus bonus stripper DL!)
December 26, 2013Subaru’s first foray beyond purely practical cars, the XT was as close as you could get to owning a new Citroen in North America back in the 1980s (well, without going as far as spending luxury-car money on a CXA or CINA-imported Citroen CX. Crazy wedge styling, flat 4- or 6-cylinder engines, optional air suspension, a 0.29 coefficient of drag, and a very space-age interior made for a very distinctive car, even among the other wedges on American roads back then. What would happen if you showed up at a Citroen show with one of these? Find out with this 1986 Subaru XT Turbo 4×4 for sale in Portland, OR for $3000.
