Having jumped back into the ring of AMC ownership with an '82 Concord last week, I now view the extra two drive wheels and elevated stance of Eagles with a tinge of jealousy. To add insult to injury, this is an extra-rare manual transmission example, leaving you the freedom to sling mud in any gear you choose. Find this 1986 AMC Eagle for sale in Charlotte, NC for $1,500 via craigslist. 
It may be me, but the classic Saab 900's seem to be aging very well and are a standout from the 1980's time period . Their distinctive shape really stand out amongst the anodyne designs found on the road today. The sleekest and most rare body kit for these cars was called the Air Flow. Find this 1988 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible Airflow for sale somewhere in Vermont for $4,000 via craigslist. 
The Chevrolet Monza was released for the 1975 model year as GM's latest subcompact offering on the H-platform shared with the
Vega/Astra/Sunbird/Skyhawk/Starfire. It was GM's answer to new
sporty compact offerings from Ford like the Mustang II, Capri and
Dodge's Galant based Colt. Today, a used Monza offers an interesting level of cool for a bargain price. Find this 1975 Chevrolet Monza offered for $5,000 in Oak Grove, MN via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
1980 was a strange decade to modify cars. Folks looking to hot rod a couple year old car (probably their previous daily driver) didn't have the same choices for classic steel that the folks from 10 years ago had -- and so they did the best they could.

It's funny how we come up with names over time to compartmentalize things. Back when this Giulia Spider was for sale, there was the Giulia Spider and Giulia Spider Veloce. Now (at least amongst Alfisi) you have the Veloce , Normale and Abnormale tags for the 101 series Giulias. Find this 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Normale for sale in Anacortes, WA for $17,500 via craigslist. 
The Porsche 928 is an evil temptress. She has beautiful curves, a powerful V8 under the hood, and Porsche badging, all with a narcotizing waft of affordability. However, if you've got a decent set of tools, an internet connection, and (most importantly) a can-do attitude, you can drive one of these things everyday without being a member of the Trump family. Find this 1989 Porsche 928 offered for $5975 in Clear Lake, MN via craigslist. Tip from Michael.

I've been hearing a lot about "Digital Transformation" lately. Maybe you roll your eyes when you hear buzz words, but there is something to this one. Think about selling a bike pre-internet. You placed an ad in a newspaper, paying for your ad by the word with real money. Now with the interwebs it's free and you can write ad ad as long as you want. Someone needs to get the word out.

Way back in 2008 (okay, that wasn't really a long time ago) if you wanted to look like a baller, you would buy a new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The basic S550 would set you back $90k before options/tax, but if you wanted to make a bigger statement you'd option for the $127k S63 AMG version (or the $194k S65 AMG)...but oh my, what a difference a decade makes. Find this 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG here on eBay offered for $26,995 buy-it-now or make-offer, located in Chantilly, VA.

The Jaguar XJS is beautiful classic that is regularly stripped of its original British built 6 or 12 cylinder powerplants and powered by some carburetor fed pushrod V8 -- but not today.

Tip from Steven.
In 1990 Volvo launched a new platform, the 900-series, which boldly went where no Volvo had been before -- boxy, rear-drive, focus on safety, 4/6 cylinder engines...oh wait...that is exactly where ALL Volvos have been since about 17 milliseconds after the big bang.
