Good Cause – 1966 Austin FX4D Taxi

November 13, 2013

While the usual tendency for us is to shy away from “novelty” vehicles, there are actually reasons why one of these would make a great city driver. Much as the Panther-bodied Ford Crown Victoria is a popular car among cabbies and private individuals alike for its durability and endless parts supply, the Austin FX4D was designed to be a cab in a city with narrow, bumpy streets. Gee, that sounds an awful lot like San Francisco, Boston, or New York! Your ultimate city car can be found in this 1966 Austin FX4 taxi for sale in Denair, CA for $3500.

Stanced – 1984 BMW 528e with 3.5 Engine

November 13, 2013

It’s hard to decide what to say about this recent subtrend in car modification. On the one hand, the folks who practice stancing often modify older cars with period-correct wheels, and retrofit home-market bumpers when the North Americans got big old diving boards. They’re also spending time and money on keeping up some cars that are less popular with the mainstream, and artistically photographing their work. On the other hand, they’re stretching too-small tires over too-big rims, setting ridiculous camber angles, and lowering the cars over coil-over springs until you can’t even drive over a pencil without it scraping the bottom of the car. There’s also the stereotype of backwards-ball-cap, sagging-jeans-wearing, drum-n-bass-listening kids, but if it’s too loud, you’re too old. So there. Anyway, let’s take a look at an example of this subculture – you can find this 1984 BMW 528e / 535i for sale in Bend, OR for $2300.
