Owned one, a notchback, in some ways it rivalled a 280SL.... but it was a piece of shiit.

917 CanAm car, Edmonton, 1969?? Best place to be when you are 14 with a camera as they fire up a 917... ohh, cant attach a photo,,,, ih well

3 wheelers, classed as bikes with sidecars, were far cheaper to license than 4 wheelers, classed as cars.

Bill · ‎02-07-2021

The result of a depressed economy reacting to unfair regulations.

Very cool project. Theres a company in California which has been converting Beetles, Vanagons, 914s and 911s to electric power for 50 years. This is a new company but same thing. https://www.zelectricmotors.com/our-story/

The 1978 Indy Pace Car might be the best looking special edition Vette ever. The paint even today has style. Sure there are lots of better performing Vettes but the 1978 was an eyecatcher. When there were no real options for performance.

I love the bench seat 1985s, the 1986 lost the soul of front wheel drive.

Bill · ‎13-06-2021

Cool video, Devon is a neat kid.

Not going to happen, the stick shift is history, no one understands how to shift today and between CAFE and the EPA manufacturers can control the results with a computer managed automatic. Not that I care since I prefer old cars anyway.

Bill · ‎11-06-2021

I really want his hair. Fabulous article, I live these cars.

Bill · ‎09-06-2021

I think these all missed the mark. There have been thousands of better ads.

Bill · ‎09-06-2021

Hope it comes as a short regular cab, otherwise they missed the mark.

Before 1920, gas was not a given. Electricity was pretty much an equal player, even often preferred. Henry Fords assembly line and Standard Oils aggressive lobbying changed the balance. Without Ford and the Rockefellers..... electric cars could have taken the lead 100 years ago. Detroit Electric was one of the leaders back then. The preferred choice of doctors and socialites needing clean reliable transport. Even UPS had fleets of electric delivery trucks thru the 1930s. And the trolley bus was way superior to the diesel busses replacing it in the 1970s. The London Tube was/is pure electric and was running before the automoblile was even invented. Lobbying, corporate corruption, easily swayed.... or bought off polititions are the only reason fossil fuels are so deeply rooted today.

I love everything with a bench seat, but no, never a valuable collectable. But always a great driver. I hate the cars selling for outrageous money cuz they never get driven. ..... Until the market crashes. Olds Toronado is one of those GREAT used cars you can drive.

Bill · ‎31-05-2021

More important Porsche.... easy, the first 911 built.... s car still being sold almost 60 years later.

Bill · ‎14-05-2021

Those aren't Firebirds, they are Trans Ams.

Bill · ‎13-05-2021

2000 miles, so 8 hours of driving time ?

Bill · ‎13-05-2021

$350K, $355K..... $425K, nothing like clearing out the riff raff

Bill · ‎12-05-2021

until you drive or ride in one, they are uninspiring, but Jags are living rooms on sporty chassis. I don't think there is a more luxurious sedan out there

Bill · ‎11-05-2021

The issue was the UAW which screwed everyone for 40 years, A cool book I bet most would enjoy reading is, Crash Course by Paul Ingrassia.

Bill · ‎07-05-2021

Gorgeous car but priced like a BMW when it was only a Cadillac.

Bill · ‎04-05-2021

This is a massive market, repower tiny cars as electric urban commuters, brilliant. Bypass al the ridiculous passenger safety regulations, offer a new life for character.

Bill · ‎01-05-2021

Looks like John DeLoreans inspiration, so glad these guys crashed and burned. And then they came back as the Aztek.

Bill · ‎30-04-2021

or, maybe it was just a cosmetic option but it definitely had style

Bill · ‎30-04-2021

Fords Cobra Jet Shaker Hood Scoop was my all time favourite performance option, Altho I had a 1970 TA and a 1975 TA, Ford did it best.

Bill · ‎23-04-2021

still, very cool car

Bill · ‎23-04-2021

I had a 1970 TA and a 1975 TA, the first thing I did with both was peel of the Chicken. 45 years ago.

Bill · ‎19-04-2021

There are no limits, $72K really ? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1957-bmw-600/

I'm a huge fan of the underdog and AMC is my all time favourite, mostly because as a fringe manufacturer they always built stuff a bit unique often serving the fringes of the car world. But on $$$ ?? The pecking order is well established, when all else is equal, Chevy gets top dollar, Ford takes a 5% cut for an identical vehilcle, Dodge drops another 10%, and AMC, International and the rest follow, often 25% less than an equal Chevy. Not that that is bad especially of you love the off brands, it just means your International 4x4 Pickup with a 348 and 4 speed will cost 25% less to buy than an equal Chevy, And you get something which is rare and attracts real attention. No need to elevate the Brand, For us AMC lovers we love the price point.

WHATS NOT TO LiKE... THEY ARE HUGE

Bill · ‎16-04-2021

the 1970 Boss 302 looks like the most enjoyable one to drive

Bill · ‎16-04-2021

I remember ABC Wide World of Sports covering the BAJA 1000 in a Cessna and the pilot saying, "He's going faster than us"..... 1969 Ford Bronco “Big Oly”

Bill · ‎07-04-2021

Towing and Hauling are not an issue, 90% of the Quad Cab pickups are just used as 4 door sedans.

Bill · ‎14-03-2021

Why not the Taurus SHO.

Bill · ‎10-03-2021

Guys who have this kind of drive and ambition are amazing, another name, Roger Penske.

Bill · ‎06-03-2021

Missed my favourite, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Peter Fonda, Susan George, Adam Roarke.

Bill · ‎05-02-2021

The 1982 F250 that sold on BaT last week for $97K tops that. Parked the day it was purchased 39 years ago, sold with 76 miles on the odometer. Original tires too.

Bill · ‎30-01-2021

Definitely retro, maybe retarded, definitely not an inspiration today. Humorous but stupid. Completely detached with reality.

Bill · ‎22-01-2021

oh wow, my favourite the RS200 is predicted to be the cheapest buy, maybe I should bid

Bill · ‎14-01-2021

The two Citroens are very cool.... but the trailer looks like something made by a bunch of hillbillies. They couldn't even get the hitch height correct.

Bill · ‎28-12-2020

no emotional losses there for me

Bill · ‎21-12-2020

If one took the Axtek technologies, added some Stealth style.... ie, basic, reliable, inexpensive to service systems in a cool, fast car...... theres a winner, simple, stylish, functional, sporty, powerful.

Bill · ‎21-12-2020

"Each system of the Phaeton would be world-class, from the active suspension to the all-weather 4Motion all-wheel drive and CNC-milled trunk hinges. " But those "world class" features all make it an incredibly complex and stupidly expensive. Active suspensions have never had durability. 4motion was incredibly expensive to service or god forbid, repair. And really CNC hinges? Destined to fail before it got iff the drawing board.

Bill · ‎19-12-2020

I have never been a fan of digital dashes but the C4s was one of the worst. I have often forgotten that and looked at a few for sale, other than the dash they are very cool cars.

Bill · ‎18-12-2020

I love everything with a straight six. Those were the years when cars were simple and balanced and did not need excessive power to feel "sporty". The original Countach was an engineers dream with the V12, transmission spun 180 degrees and such clean straight lines. That was the last great Lamborghini. Once they added flares, wings and Farah Fawcett it was all over.

Bill · ‎18-12-2020

Given the 993 Turbos always sell over $100K peaking at $400K.... rebuilding this one might be a money maker. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-porsche-911-turbo-s-4/

Bill · ‎18-12-2020

only if there was an accident claim, this looks more like a theft claim

Bill · ‎07-12-2020

My favourite was the first, the 1955, 1956 shoe box design. But no doubt Cadillac was entry level luxury, Lincoln a big step up and Imperial wore the Crown, with Rolls Royce and Bentley fitting in somewhere near the middle.

Bill · ‎19-09-2020

The 917s were the pinnacle of raw power.
