1979 Mercedes Benz 450SLC – $4000 (Fort Wayne)
At $4,000 this is right on the money for a coupe. The owner says excellent condition, Florida car with $6,000 in new parts. Think he would mind if I slapped rally lights on it and cranked on it in the … Continued
1990 Lotus Esprit Turbo Special Edition – $33500 (Royal Oak)

1988 BMW 325ix – $6000 (lake orion)
It’s a tough call on collectible status when the car has a repaint, the engine was replaced and the chassis has 245,000 miles on it. But it looks good, really good, and would be a slinging drive. The biggest rub … Continued
