Why is it a Norwegian sunset? This is a Swedish car, you idiot! Is what you might be thinking, but after the jump you’ll see why it’s Norwegian. Since Saabs are like catnip to the oddball car nut, and one-year-only safety colors also give us the warm fuzzies, you’ll see why today’s car was so easy to choose. Adding the top-performing fuel injected engine is just icing on the cake – have a look at this 1974 Saab 99 EMS for sale for $1250 in St. Paul, MN.
RustyButTrusty 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.
With BMW 2002 prices on the way up, savvy car nuts should be looking at the same viable alternatives car nuts looked at back when they were new. So if 2002s (and Alfa GTVs) have moved out of your reach, or at least if a good one has, it pays to look back at the Datsun 510. With a good independent suspension and a respectably powerful 1.6 liter four, you can hardly go wrong, and you get some of that Japanese reliability to boot. Check out this 1971 Datsun 510 for sale for $2200 near Concord, CA.
