There are few cars more quintessentially SoCal than VW Beetles. How could you make it more SoCal you ask? How about making it a convertible and turning it into a roadster? Yup, that should just about do it. Here we have a 1970 VW Bug in Irvine that looks to […]

Let’s say you wanna do your part to save the planet and look hip while doing it, while sticking to a modest budget…what do you buy? It’s well documented that the Tesla Model 3 has a waiting list in the hundreds of thousands and the ones rolling off the […]
Thinking about buying a new base Honda Accord but really like doing donuts till the tires disintegrate in a smokey display of kick-ass? Well, I may have a suitable alternative… This 2007 Shelby GT500 could care less about cargo capacity, rear seat legroom and gas mileage. It’s a snarling hairy […]
Everyone out there knows the story of the 996 generation Porsche 911 by now; watercooled, fried eggs for headlights and an IMS bearing that could grenade your engine at any moment (but likely not). Its safe to say the 996 is the red-headed stepchild of the 911 family tree and […]
Volvo’s from the 1960’s had a such a quiet cool to them. From the P1800 to this 122, they’re just so stylish in a very unshouty way. This example is said to be all original with minimal rust. There’s no mention of how well (or if) it runs but the […]
I’ve never been much of a fan of 90’s muscle cars, with the exception of this generation Firebird. Something about it always struck me as bad-ass. Maybe it’s the muscular haunches or the cool-ish front end…It just has a certain coolness about it that its Camaro brother can’t even match. […]
When I saw this car and its slick paint job, I immediately thought of the “none more black” scene in Spinal Tap. Its so deep…so perfect…so black. Its like the car was dunked in crude oil (in a good way). Simply put: it can be none more black… This car […]
Few cars symbolize the Southern California lifestyle like a dune buggy. Low-fi, laid back and ready for a trip to the beach, buggies are just plain cool and this recently restored one looks pretty good. A 1969 VW example that looks like it just might be the Transformer BumbleBee in […]
The mighty Porsche 928 has gone largely unloved since its Ricky Business heydays but that is changing. Prices have been steadily climbing and the 928 could very well find itself enjoying the appreciation explosion that the 911 did a while back. Here we have an early example for sale in […]
Everyone loves the Datsun Z Cars…and none more than the 240Z as it was the original, the lightest and thanks to its age, its exemption from CA smog testing. This one has had its 6-cylinder Japanese heart replaced with a big hairy American V8 and tranny, both of which are […]
