We almost forgot about the hotrod GXP version of the Solstice. It reminds us how much power the wee roadster can make.

The origins of the Jeep restoration business can be traced to one man's love for a rusted early CJ2A from the 1940s.

Most companies in that era simply added power to a traditional sports car. But Mitsubishi went extreme.

The red interior, with a bench seat, looks splendid. The sweeping instrument panel is framed by the spindly steering wheel.

Did you know that the Skyline wasn’t originally a Nissan product? It was made by Japan's Prince Motor Company.

It takes 23 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour. But we love this funky VW Brasilia.

It's not a fast car. And it's not pretty. But you can correct these shortcomings.

The turbocharged Regal and offshoots offered a bunch of horsepower and torque. Pair that with Buick style to make a truly exciting car.

eBay searches for the Impala jumped 160 percent after the halftime show.

There are oddball elemental vehicles like the VW Thing, Austin’s Mini Moke, and the Fiat Jolly. Citroën couldn’t be left out.

The Land Rover has room for everything you need at the beach. The all-road capability will bring you right to the water’s edge.

The low, bulbous body enclosing most of the wheels minimized the drag at high speeds.

The RADwood craze led to a boom in the value of 1980s vehicles—even unremarkable cars like the '85 Toyota Celica for sale on eBay.

There’s a special charm in cars that most people see as weird. On the other hand, exotics are mostly useless in everyday street driving.

Throughout the 1990s, the US lacked Subaru's best rally cars. But in 2002, Subaru brought the turbocharged WRX stateside.

It’s the ultimate family hauler from the 1960s—a throaty V-8, cubic yards of interior chrome, and three rows of bench-seat comfort.

This 1980 Dodge Dakota showed how Carroll Shelby's magic could be applied to a wide range of vehicles, even a pickup.

As data from eBay indicates, sales prices for various generations of classic Broncos jumped as much as 27 percent in 2021.

Some cars lend themselves nicely to learning basic mechanics. Volvos are at the top of the list.

The Porsche 911 was embellished by the tuners at Gemballa. The slant nose, wider fenders and dark cherry paint work like a charm.

The paint isn’t perfect, and the trim on the tailgate looks a bit funky. But this old Nissan truck is lovely.
