What IS That? – 1996 De Tomaso Guarà with Ford V8

1996 Detomaso Gaura RF

What is that??? That’s what we imagine you’d hear while driving this De Tomaso Guarà. This is one of 2 (of the 40 made) in the U.S., from what we understand, so you’d likely never ’see yourself coming around a corner’ in one. It’s unusual and while the Italian stying isn’t for everyone, we really like that it doesn’t look like anything else. It’s currently on EBay at $100,000 with 0 bids and Reserve Not Met. …Read More »

Not For Purists: 1955 Ford Thunderbird Street Rod

1955 Thunderbird Street Rod LF

Hope everyone’s had a nice President’s Day, apologies for not posting the last few days, things have been quite busy. Today we’ve noticed a pretty cool looking Turquoise 1955 Ford Thunderbird hot rod that will make the Ford purists out there cringe. However, this car is really meant to be a hot rod, built as a cruiser by someone who didn’t want the typical hot rod (think 30’s roadster) body. It’s currently on EBay, with a Buy It Now price of $65,000. …Read More »

Little Bit of Germany: 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo with 58K Miles

1974 BMW 2002 turbo RHS

Here’s a chance to own a very cool early BMW Turbo car. BMW only made about 1600 2002 Turbo’s and the seller claims this one is very original, with 58K miles. He is asking $55,000 which seems like a lot in this market. However, this looks to be one of the nicest 2002 Turbo’s we’ve seen for sale, so if you’re in the market you may have to pay up. Even halfway decent cars seem to fetch in the mid to upper $30,000 range with ease, so we could see this really nice example being worth towards $50,000. …Read More »

Brian Redman Track Event: Targa Sixty Six (66) Palm Beach @ PBIR

Targa 66 Palm Beach

On our way back from sunny Palm Beach where we spent a few days at Brian and James Redman’s Targa Sixty Six (66) and wanted to write a small review. In short, if you’re looking for track days that aren’t too competitive but give you a LOT of track time, in a relaxed but safe environment, this is a great event. Pricing is $1,500 for three days of driving which seems expensive until you notice you can bring multiple cars with up to two drivers. So, pricing comes out to $250 per person, per day, which is very reasonable. …Read More »

Sebring 12Hr Winner: 1989 Kudzu DG2.02 IMSA GTP Light

1990 Buick Kudzu 12 Hr Sebring F

February 7, 2010: This Kudzu has been relisted here on EBay starting at $155,000 with no reserve. We thought it was priced on the high side previously and the seller must have agreed. Still love the original paint from when it ran professionally.

January 6, 2010: Obviously we’re big sports car fans and like many others, we enjoying seeing just about anything from the IMSA GTP days. This 1990 Kudzu-Buick IMSA GTP Lights contendor has been advertised on and off for some time and we’ve always found it interesting.
