1986 Audi Coupe GT - I've always liked these cars and don't understood why they don't get more recognition than they do.

The GT Coupe didn't come with Audi's quattro system (the similar looking and very spectacular UR Quattro did), but with a 5 cylinder engine, they were equal to or better than many of the coupes coming out of Japan at the time. They also looked better (unique) than anything coming from Japan at the time.

This Coupe GT is in very nice shape and has been well maintained.

1978 International Harvester Scout - Until I see one, I forget that IH made "civilian" SUVs (although that term had been coined yet) right up until 1980. They were a lot like the Jeeps they were competing with. They were old school and tough.

This is a 33,000 mile unrestored Scout. It has the IH 345ci V8 in it.

This is a really cool looking vehicle. I don't know for how long I could live with the plaid seats, but a couple of seat covers would hide them and keep the original upholstery in good shape.

1948 Studebaker Land Cruiser - I know next to nothing about old Studebakers. I'm posting this because I found it while doing a search for a Toyota Land Cruiser for a friend.

I had no idea there was another vehicle called a "Land Cruiser" before the Toyota SUV.

Now, when someone asks you what you think of the Land Cruiser, you can be a jackass like me and ask, "The Studebaker or the Toyota?"
