Still feeling sad about the demise of Saab? Over here at RustyButTrusty, the flag drops to half mast every time a Saab drives by, because you know the time is approaching where people won’t see these as daily drivers. Later Saabs also have a rather limited enthusiast base, having been bland-ified by GM and super-depreciated as a result of their utilitarian nature. You can hardly find a 9000 for sale, and if you do, it’s often $2K with scratches, fading, and a blown turbo. Nonetheless, the older cars continue to maintain enthusiasts’ attention, and that’s why you can find this 1968 Saab 96 Deluxe for sale with bidding at $3050, reserve not met, and 2 days left to go in Knoxville, TN.

Still Saad? 1968 Saab 96 Deluxe
August 21, 2014Thoroughly Modern Auntie – 1968 Rover P6 2000TC
August 20, 2014If you’re a fan of obscure cars, you can’t possibly miss out on the British car industry. No other country seems to support such a diverse industry of low-volume car manufacturers, rebuilders, and restorers. And of course there was a tremendous diversity of manufacturers there through most of the last century, from Armstrong Siddeley to Lea Francis to Sunbeam, Rover, and Triumph. Some of their cars were very traditional, like the Morris Marina and Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, and others were very advanced, like the Rover P6. While they can’t take credit for incorporating all the advanced safety features, they did pick and choose from some good sources like Citroen. Check out this 1968 Rover P6 2000TC for sale with bidding at $1225 and just under 4 days left to go in Saint Helens, OR.
Not What It Appears – 1967 VW Beetle
August 18, 2014So, it’s another VW Beetle. Sure, it’s the desirable 1967, but we’re looking at a 1493cc flat four with a meager 53hp. And because the owner is either pretentious or ironic, there’s a Faux-Royce hood on it, and what looks like a rather rough rattle canned red metallic paint job. But wait, there’s more – can you see the wheels from a Toyota Tacoma, and the fake side pipes, and the nasty JC Whitney side mirrors? Why are we interested in this car?
