It's hard to resist the sway of diesel these days with the cost being almost as much as premium gas. This Datsun 620 pickup has had it's petrol burning heart replaced by a diesel SD22 and a 5 speed manual. We think this truck looks great and would be an awesome daily driver or weekend work horse. We imagine that getting it past smog is going to be a monumental hassle but would be worth it at the end of the day. Find it here, in Sun Valley, CA, for $4,500.

The California Air Resource Board is quite the pain for anyone who's into performance cars, not just for Californians. We feel their iron grip getting tighter with each passing year, making it more and more difficult for us to enjoy eeking out every last bit of power our motors have to offer. Every now and then a delightful loop hole presents it's self, opening up a world of swaps and modifications that we could only dream of before. This Volvo was born a Diesel powered econo car and now has the beating heart of a modified 5.3 LS based motor. Being born a diesel means that it doesn't have to meet smog standards of a gasoline motor. We have visions of everything from LS1 powered Mercedes wagons to R32 powered VW rabbits. This particular Volvo was being setup as a drag car and has an automatic 4L60E. The body, suspension, and brakes are stock and we highly recommend at least a brake upgrade. At $4,900, this looks like a great deal. Find it here in Santa Monica, CA!

Mopars at the Strip isn't just about Hemi cars restored to concourse standards, some creative souls brought their wild contributions out for all to see.
Very rarely do three words get us as excited about a used car as Diesel, Drift, and Wagon. We'd love to pull all of the stickers, relocate the exhaust (yes, that is the exhaust sticking out of the rear window) and roll this as a daily driver. This is a car that could get you into some big trouble so the old comic book adage "With great power, comes great responsibility." rings true for the next owner. We smile at the thought of hosting our own operation-smoke-screen on some nasty tailgaters, but it's that kind of childish thoughts that get you into trouble. The seller has three different power settings that the car is capable of running and the fuel economy you can expect. The max being 300hp and 400tq and stock being 160hp and 260tq returning around 30mpg. Find this car here, in Powdersprings, GA, for $3,500. We can't think of a better way to take four friends and your dog around a track.
