Cars you never knew existed! Anti Car Porn

Over the years, my family has owned 9 different diesel Mercedes. 240D, 300D, 300SD (my first car, and my username), and my dad still has his 300SDL. We had a 300SD in that gold color, and like @LeftCoastNerd said, they look like crap when the clear coat fails. But those things were pretty much bulletproof yachts on the road, and the turbo diesels were/are stupid-simple to work on.

 

Was a great driving car, for sure. Tons of room and super comfortable.

 

My first car (not pictured). 1970 Volvo 1800e. Mine was crayola orange.


Although could be considered car porn when the proper mods are done

 

Wow, look at the price they tried to sell it at. No wonder they sold so few.

 

WOW..thats about what I paid for my new Taco..is that American $$$?

BF was a radical thinker squared...

 

That's a Volvo, right??

 

yeah, a Volvo 544. circa 1950s to mid 60s. earliest models were PV 444, but those are really rare. 544 had a 1.6 or 1.8L inline 4 cylinder pushrod engine ("B18"), 4 speed stick shift, rear wheel drive with live axle suspension. that 1800E sports car a few posts up had the same basic drive train. actually, so did the later 'Amazon' (122), 140 family, 240 family (although the engine got incrementally upgraded to SOHC and 2.3L), and the 740 and 940 whcih was made up til the mid 1990s.

 

That can't be right... I think they were priced like Geo Trackers.

 

I had a Cougar that looked a lot like this, $500 car

 

Two that should never have been: a Pontiac Torrent and Kia Rondo. The third I would love to have, Saab Sonnet III.

 

Jeep has had some pretty badass concept vehicles.

 

They're actually making the wrangler PU, very small bed though. That third one looks like one of those jungle duty Range Rovers. I'd be into that.

 

Land rover foreword control. That was it.




Thanks for reminding me those exist.

 

Jeep actually made a forward control variant too. I think the new concept would be amazing. Especially if it were produced with those portal axles. I doubt it would ever pass safety standards though.


This is the pic I was trying to find before, not that blue SUV in the previous post:

 

I'll see your Pinto Rallye wagon and raise (or is that lower?) you a Vega GT wagon!

 

Jeep Comanche.
