This is a routine pursuit. “I was driving home from work and I decided to take a different route to go by Lordco (a local parts store),” he says, “At first I thought it might be a Mustang II, but then I got closer – is that an Australian Ford Falcon? I gotta’ know the story.” Main Force repeats, this is a routine pursuit. Code 44.

While Fiat has just released pricing of their new 124 Spider , it's probably going to be a bit of a wait before you can get one in your driveway. It's mid spring, and demand for the new roadster will be high. And that’s just to get your place in the queue, because they aren't out yet. But if you want to get a 124 Spider today, you still have the c

It's a classic Italian fastback that has all the right looks and makes all the right noises. It's our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week this week, a 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT The Alfetta GT was based on the Alfetta sedan that Alfa Romeo launched in 1972. It was named for the Tipo 158/159 Formula 1 car that raced from 1937 until 1951. It was one of

For our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week, we've found some of the rarest and coolest cars, and even some of the biggest bargains in Canada. But this one is a little different. Maybe you're a collector, looking to add something special to your fleet of classic police cars? Maybe you're in the entertainment industry and are looking for something vin

When Subaru first hit Canadian showrooms in 1976 they weren’t always all-wheel drive . The little Japanese marque has, however, always been quirky. Subaru is ideally suited to meeting the needs of Canadians with permanent all-wheel-drive throughout their lineup, class-leading ground clearance in their SUVs and noted reliability – Subaru is a

Tie-ins are big bucks for everyone from toy companies to fast food joints looking for a little Tinsel Town magic to rub off on their own receipts before, during, and after a TV show, video game or movie has run its course. Car companies aren’t immune from this type of blatant promotion, and although they might be more rare than an action figure in

Let’s face it; try as they might, the rest of the American Big Three have never quite been able to build a car that brings instant credibility to a movie car chase like the Mustang. Sure, sure – vehicles like the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Corvette have come close, but you can count the notable chases those have been involved in on one hand. Th

Remember that kid at the back of your high school math class – the one whose mother dressed him every day, who always seemed to have the right answer on every pop quiz, and who you never would have noticed had he not later gone on to become CEO at a Fortune 500 company, rubbing it in your face at your 25th year reunion? There are cars and trucks

At forty, the Honda Accord is officially middle-aged. For those of us, it’s a blobby sort of milestone to be achieved, a time to look back in time and wish we could reclaim our youth – apart from the silly haircuts. However, the Accord needs no such nostalgia: it’s as quick as it’s ever been, and can still be purchased with a zippy four-cylinder an

With interest rates at banks low, investors are looking for stable alternatives to build their money. Now a new report says that bankers in Germany are suggesting an alternative we can really get behind: classic German cars. Jens Berner, a vintage car expert for Suedwestbank AG, told Bloomberg  that "for customers with more than one million eur

All 36 Corvettes will be restored to running condition and resold In 1989, VH1 decided to do something unimaginable: accumulate 36 Corvettes, one for each year America's sports car had been manufactured, and give them away to one lucky viewer via a 900 phone number contest. And the best part of this story is it only gets more outrageous. Den

Sometimes a vehicle design is so good at what it does that it sticks around seemingly forever. The Volkswagen Beetle, the Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen, and the Harley-Davidson XR-750. The now iconic motorcycle was introduced for 1970, to meet changes to American Motorcyclist Association Grand National Championship rules. After a slight change to the

The autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week is an icon that should need no introduction. Spawning hundreds, if not thousands of recreations, there were only so many originals. And this is one of them. It's a 1977 Pontiac Trans-Am Special Edition. If you don't already recognize the Special Edition, we're not sure that anything we say will be able to fill

Will Volkswagen's reputation overcome the lasting stain of the diesel scandal? Surely, this must be one of the worst skeletons in the closet for any car company to have. Actually... wait a minute. Today, the Volkswagen Beetle is a fun little front-driver that you can order as a pink convertible. Its origins, however, are basically pure evil. Ori
