comments
For your Fastback Friday enjoyment, I give you one of the best muscle cars of all time: the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. I don’t know about you, but when I think of muscle cars, a few cars immediately come to mind – a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, and a 1967…

Fastback Friday – 1992 Honda CRX
/

comments
Going against the odds, right here. Someone in my town is using a 1992 Honda CRX as a wintertime daily driver, and like Blake the Z. puts it: “Those things rust even in California”. The Honda appears dirty and salty indeed, but it doesn’t look rusty. For how long, that’s anybody’s guess. The second generation…

[Ed’s Note: The following rant is courtesy of Janne Pitkänen, an old friend. He drives a 2004 RX-8 -Antti] My RX-8 is nearly ready for the summer. A few niggles had to be taken care of, most importantly a clunking sound in the front suspension. The dealership promised to take care of any niggles, within…

So this olelongrooffan is getting settled into my new digs in TheStuccoBox down here in toney Palm Beach, Florida. For that reason I decided to head down to Flagler Avenue (I think every town on the east coast of the Sunshine State has a street named after ole Henry Morrison) and take in the Palm…

Fastback Friday – 1991 Eagle Talon
/
/
comments
Moving smoothly within the Chrysler Corporation scope, today’s street submission is a 1991 Eagle Talon. Eagle-eyed commenters pointed out yesterday, that the LH Chrysler 300M was essentially an Eagle until 12 months before its hatching, and development photos uncovered showed the triangular Eagle emblem mounted on the front grille. This Diamond Star car is in…

Fastback Friday – 1997 Citroën XM Berline

comments
I’ve been pretty open about my love for all things classic Citroën. With the numerous BX and Xantia posts, it’s been clear to see there’s something about the folded paper spaceship designs that really gets to me. It’s easy, then, to predict that whenever a hydropneumatic Citroën appears on my sights, I get out my…

Craigslist: 1981 Datsun 310 GX

Holy poop!! Look at the Caddy hearse across the street! Anyway, here is something that’s rare now but was once very common. The question is, does its age and relative desire/uniqueness factor make it unique enough to be interesting? Additionally, this example brings forth the age old question of modifications and taste. How much is…

Fastback Friday – 1973 Ford Taunus Coupé

comments
Here’s a car from the pages of history books, a 1973 Ford Taunus Coupé formerly owned by the dad of a friend of mine, Jani. The spectacularly brown Taunus was in their family from new, and gathered only a reasonable 150ish thousand kms on the clock before it was sold on to Sweden. Like in…

Fastback Friday – 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 2

comments
These HDR-laden photos depict a 1969 Mercury Cyclone for sale in the Osthrobothnian region of Finland. Yeah, it’s all wide open fields and straight roads, ones you need fat rubber on and steering movements are restricted to passing manouevres. Plant your foot and dodge the semi-trailers, and stop at an ABC service station to chew…

1965 Plymouth Barracuda's Been Left Out to Dry

comments
It doesn’t get more fastback than the first generation Plymouth Barracuda. With an acre (actually 14.4 sqft) of fixed curved glass, you could have a decent sized greenhouse going back there…which might be tempting, given the condition of today’s example. However, I contend that under the (substantial) layers of surface grime, there’s a lot of…
