CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (Summer 2021) – Part 2: Foreign Cars

CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (Summer 2021) – Part 1: Japanese Cars
Posted on September 1, 2021 | 13 CommentsIt’s been quite a while since I’ve compiled the bits and pieces of my findings for your viewing pleasure (hopefully). And for some reason, I’ve had more luck finding straight-up […] -
Curbside Classic: 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 Coupe – Lean Mean Green Pleasure Machine
Posted on August 30, 2021 | 24 CommentsAccording to family lore, my car obsession started pretty early – as it must have for many of you. I had learned to read by age three and liked to […] -
Curbside Classic: 1972 Nissan Skyline (C10) 2000GT – Princely Presence
Posted on August 27, 2021 | 20 CommentsIt’s going to be a little while before the balance is restored in the T87 household, as returning from a European jaunt in the age of Covid-19 is not as […] -
Curbside Classic: 1982 Citroën CX Pallas IE – Hydropneumatifragilistic Pallasialidocious
Posted on August 8, 2021 | 34 CommentsNothing is ever 100% sure in this world, particularly nowadays as regards intercontinental travel, but by the time this is published, I should be in Europe (France and Switzerland, to […] -
CC Capsule: 2021 Toyota EuroBox Renoca By Flex — The Probox Goes To Wolfsburg

Curbside Classic: 1984 Ferrari Mondial QV Cabriolet – Bargain Bin Supercar
Posted on July 29, 2021 | 13 CommentsThere is no oxymoron likelier to raise a bunch of red flags than “cheap Ferrari.” Quite right, too. If it’s cheap, there must be something terribly wrong with it. Missing […] -
Curbside Classic: 1992 Eunos Cosmo – Mazda’s Final Folly
Posted on July 26, 2021 | 12 CommentsFew carmakers fumbled as badly as Mazda did in the early ‘90s and lived to tell the tale. Rover died. GM needed a bailout. Nissan, Kia and Chrysler had a […] -
CC Capsule: 1962-73 Volkswagen Type 3 Variant(s) – Squareback Cubed
Posted on July 20, 2021 | 12 CommentsI love Squarebacks, you love Squarebacks, everybody loves Squarebacks. And that term certainly sounds better than “Variant” in our present pandemic-plagued predicament. I don’t wish to sound alarmist, but there’s […] -
CC Capsule: 2003 CQ Q-Car Qi Quno — Benny, Is That You?
Posted on July 19, 2021 | 9 CommentsThis one of those occasions when a discovery just has to be shared with the wider world. Show of hands, who had ever heard of CQ Motors before today? I’m […] -
Curbside Classic: 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 – Failing Upwards
Posted on July 15, 2021 | 8 CommentsYes, another DeLorean post. If we go back in time (har har), CC has already had a fair amount of DeLorean-related content. Here’s hoping I can wedge one more in […] -
CC Capsule: 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante 30M — Rough Diamond Or Plastic Gem?
Posted on July 9, 2021 | 20 CommentsThere hasn’t been much written on CC about this Mitsubishi as yet, but what there is has not been too complementary. And I would be quite inclined to follow suit […] -
Curbside Classic: 1987 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo/3 (E28) — Bee Em Single-U, The Bavarian Motorized Unicorn
Posted on July 8, 2021 | 8 CommentsHere we go again with the rare and sporty stuff. All I really want to find is plain Jane, honest classics — and the occasional JDM oddity, of course. But […] -
CC Outtake: 1978-83 Nissan Fairlady Z (S130) – Ultimate Stripper Version
Posted on July 6, 2021 | 8 CommentsWell here’s not something you see everyday, thought yours truly when happening upon this fascinating Fairlady, flaunting her primer negligee with abandon. Mouth agape, eyes agog and legs akimbo, I […]
