Japanese Power-train Conversion: 1969 Triumph TR-6 R33 RB25DET Swap

1969 Triumph TR-6 R33 RB25DET Swap LF

This Triumph TR-6 is a bit of an odd mixture, it’s a British chassis fitted with a Japanese Spec R33 turbo motor/trans. So, you’ve got British open-top styling which we like, coupled with Japanese reliability (in theory)… could be a pretty cool driver. This Triumph is on EBay at $15,000 with 17 bids and Reserve Not Met. …Read More »

Unrestored Original: 1962 Chevrolet Corvette with 41k miles

1962 Corvette 41k miles orig LF

Another all-original car has come our way this week in the form of this 1962 Corvette. We love cars that have been well kept, this one is no different. The seller claims it’s got all original paint, interior, moldings, chrome, glass and drive train. If you look closely at some of the pictures from his ad you can see original looking markings on the undercarriage. Asking price is $69,500, which is serious money for a non-fuel injected 62 Corvette. But the level of originality is very valuable to some prospective buyers. …Read More »

Not Your Ordinary Rod: 1956 Peterbilt Custom – “Gizmoness”

Gizmoness Drive

As the folks over at Hot Rod Magazine said about this 1956 Peterbilt: “The best thing about this car is that it evades description.” It may evade description but the owner made sure to give it an identity, calling it “Gizmoness.” For the story behind the name and a detailed overview, check out this feature magazine article on the car. We don’t know exact pricing but the seller claims it’s very fairly priced at “less than the cost of its parts” and less than the $80,000 it’s insured for. Currently it’s bid up to $22,322.22 on EBay with the Reserve Not Met. …Read More »

No Regular C4: 1988 Corvette Challenge Car

1988 Corvette Challenge LF

If you don’t know what a Corvette Challenge car is, click here for a decent explanation. The gist of what happened is this: in the mid 80’s, Corvettes were too fast and the SCCA banned them from competition. In order to keep everything copasetic, the SCCA devised a racing class just for Corvettes, similar to that of the IROC Porsche and Camaro’s. All the cars were to be based on stock configuration, with limited modification, in order to highlight driver expertise. We believe around 110 of these cars were built in ‘88 and ‘89, making this car, at $45,000, a possible ‘deal.’ …Read More »

Daytona 24hr Winner and Le Mans History: 1990 Porsche 964 Carrera Cup

1990 Carrera Cup Daytona Winner LR

We know what you’re thinking, this 911 doesn’t look like anything too great. You’re right, cosmetically it’s not perfect, however it’s got a really cool history. It started off as a Carrera Cup car, of which we understand Porsche only built 25. It was then commissioned to race in the 1993 Daytona 24 hours, driven by Enzo Calderari to a class win. Then it was driven by Lilian Bryner at places like the 24 hours of Le Mans, Spa and Sebring. All of this history, for $39,000. …Read More »

Road Ready: 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe Hotrod

LF

November 18, 2009: This Hotrod was spotted for sale again, with a slightly lowered price of $34,000. It’d be a blast to roam through the hills of So. Cal with this winter or to put in the garage and spend some time to make it personalize to your desire, in time for spring. We’ve updated pricing and links.

October 6, 2009: This ‘34 Ford is a great example of a straight forward build that comes to life the more you look at it. The seller started with an original 1934 steel body and chopped the windshield, channeled the rear panels and made all the necessary modifications to the frame. He added a ‘59 Pontiac 389 V8 and mated it to a 4 speed Muncie and a 3.50 rear end with limited-slip. All of this for $34,000, seems like it could be a decent deal if you’re looking for an ‘in-period’ looking hot rod to drive and enjoy. …Read More »

Keke Rosberg Grand Prix Car: 1983 Williams FW08C

LS

We’ve noticed another historic Formula 1 car recently popped up for sale. This former Keke Rosberg/Jacques Laffite Williams FW08C just came for sale yesterday, with the seller asking $425,000. Quite a lot of money, but do not forget, Keke Rosberg was the F1 World Champion in 1982, the year before he piloted this car. Additionally, while the FW08C chassis wasn’t dominate in ‘83, it did give Williams a noteworthy win on the streets of Monaco; this car ran as high as second in that race before retiring. …Read More »
