The\xa0Pick of the Day\xa0is\xa0a\xa02000 Volkswagen Jetta pickup conversion\xa0listed for sale by a Tennessee dealership. Truck-like cars (aka coupe utility vehicles) haven’t been big in a while. The\xa0Ford Ranchero\xa0rode off into the sunset at the end of the 1970s and the\xa0Chevrolet El Camino\xa0was on its way into the history books in the late 1980s. Even the Holden Ute from Australia was ute-enized last decade. But that decline in the coupe utility vehicle’s popularity didn’t stop someone from converting a 2000 Volkwagen Jetta into a pickup.

I will not bury the lede on my Pick of the Day. This 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda is one of the nicest cars on the planet and the single best example I have ever seen. I had the pleasure of personally judging this car at the Future Classic Car Show (now the Future Collector Car Show) during Arizona auction week a few years ago and came away stunned by how well the restoration of this car was executed.
Ferrari is perhaps the most admired and desired marque in the world, but not all Ferraris are admired. In the case of the Pininfarina-designed 308, it has been admired from afar, a product of the Malaise Era. Our Pick of the Day, a 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, is the best iteration of these sports cars. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a seller in Voorhees, New Jersey.
