The 2nd-gen MA60 Supra, like its predecessor, still fell under the Celica umbrella, being based on the economy coupe but with a longer nose, inline six-cylinder engine, and sportier MO. These cars are solid if not the most exciting classics on the market, but if you're looking for your ticket into 80s Japanese Radwood perfection, this might just be it.

You won't see many restored high priced cars on these pages, but today I'm going to make an exception, because this next one looks really nice. Furthermore, the 240Z hasn't gone through recent massive price inflation like certain German cars (i.e Porsche 911, E30 M3..etc), so if you are going to get one before the boom, might as well get a nice one.

The Mk III Toyota Supra offered a staggering level of technology when it hit the
showrooms in 1986. The Supra was powered by the 7M-GTE, a turbocharged
twin-cam, 4-valve, distributor-less engine that was miles ahead of its
competition and only had a minor problem of consistently blowing up head
gaskets due to an improper head bolt torque from the factory (which can be easily remedied by the home mechanic). It was an
affordable sports coupe package that gave the Corvette a run for its money and hinted at the Japanese sports car madness that arrived a few years later. Find this 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo bidding for $6,700 here on eBay

Nothing beats a simple, solid, rear-wheel drive, 4-cylinder, manual transmission sedan. There is plenty of room to wrench under the hood, with no fussy transaxle to get in your way. Something like the Volvo 240 series can be economical as a daily driver yet entertaining in the occasional autocross, parking lot slalom, or rainy-day dorifto on public streets during your morning commute (don't try this at home kids). Find this 1989 Volvo 240 Sedan with 98k miles on the odometer offered here on craigslist for $5,000, located in Boston, MA. Tip from Carter.

Today's luxury hybrids are bought to make more of a statement than an impact. The convertible version of Geo's three-cylinder Metro makes the same statement, but this untouched example takes it to the next level.

In the 1980s Ford Motor Company decided to try importing some of its European spawn from Ford-Werke GmbH in Germany...back home to the US. The only semi-successful fruit of the so-called "Merkur" brand program was giving the US buyer access to the Ford Sierra, an aero-styled RWD replacement for the Cortina and sort of the more sophisticated cousin of the Fox body Mustang. In the US, the turbocharged version was sold as the Merkur XR4Ti to make it sound fancy and German, and today represents a cool alternative to the Mustang SVO for the turbo-four RWD Blue Oval fan. Find this 1988 Merkur XR4Ti

The Saab 900 was the sequel to the 99 platform when it was launched in 1978 and actually used many of the 99 parts/body/engines/etc. The biggest noticeable change for the 900 was the elongated hood, ostensibly designed to meet US crash standards, but probably just another psychedelic drug induced decision by the guys from Trollhättan. It may have looked like the 99 on Viagra, but the 900 lasted for decades and was eventually replaced with a GM2900 platform evil doppelganger that Saab fans don't like to talk about. Today's 900 is a remarkable find with an undisclosed asking price, find this 1986 Saab 900S 4-Door for sale on saabnet, located in Somers, CT.
The Toyota Hilux Pickup is known for its frequent use by militant groups all over the third world as an impromptu
tank/troop-carrier/apc/goat transporter. The HiLux is legendary for its rugged chassis and bulletproof
R-series engines-- even the nay-saying talking heads over at Top Gear are fans of the simple pickup and it isn't built in Britain. The market for used HiLux models has been pretty tame and simple running/driving examples can be had for nothing...but...signs of an impending explosion of nostalgia from folks who remember them from their youth and now have money are starting to show.

This next feature comes from a dealer called Prestige Imports, whose motto is the cradle of acceleration. One can only assume that the cradle of acceleration would be constructed entirely out of billet aluminum and have clearance for an LS1 sump. Regardless, this 3,500 mile 924S is about the nicest example of the 924 you can find anywhere on the planet..what is it worth? Find this 1987 Porsche 924S offered for an undisclosed price in Lakewood, CO.
The Toyota Corona was the bottom of the line for Toyota's North American lineup until 1969 when the Corolla was introduced.

Find this 1970 Toyota Corona Sedan offered for $8,600 in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.
