This 1984 Buick Century Olympic Edition Could Be Your Ticket to FWD Glory

If you're not watching the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, then you're missing out. There has been plenty of action and drama, like a Czech snowboarder winning the women's Super-G skiing competition, Russia and various atheletes from Russia being banned from the games due to the huge doping scandal, photo-finish Biathlons and of course some gnarly crashes into fences and subsequent face fulls of snow. Marketing people at the automakers are getting in on the millions of viewers, with Toyota seemingly the main sponsor. But back in 1984, Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics, and the automotive excitement is still vaguely palpable today. I regularly see 1984 commemorative license plates running around on older cars here, but can't recall ever seeing a special edition '84 Buick... until now.

Snow White: 1971 Volvo 145S

Double Thorsday on a Wednesday?! With the Winter Olympics going on, it's pertinent to talk about choices of old affordable cars for ski trips. If you live in the great frozen North then you already have a winter beater and need not apply, but for those of us who have to drive to the mountains to slide face first through the snow into a whiteout oblivion, we need to think about whether our vehicle will get us there without much drama.

15k: Olympic Special: 1972 Ford Mustang Olympic Sprint Mach 1

The summer of 1972 was well known for the Olympic games held in Munich, Germany from August to September and the games were supposed to show a new image of a happy Germany post WWII. Instead it was the site of a hostage standoff and massacre of 11 Israeli Olympians and a few terrorists.  The product planners at Ford could not have predicted such a calamity and several months prior (March 1972) had released an Olympic Sprint special package for the Mustang, Pinto and Maverick to cash in on the spirit of the games.  Those cars aren't really collectors items today for whatever reason, but the package adds some cool factor to the giant Fastback Mustang.  Find this 1972 Ford Mustang Olympic Sprint Mach 1 for sale in Marble Falls, TX for $15,000 via craigslist.
