It’s the year 2549 and you’ve been invited to a party on Jupiter. What are you going to show up with? Why, this , of course, all the way from the ancient year of 1988.

Earth imploded in 2248, but there was enough time to salvage key pieces of human culture, achievement and memorabilia in order to safeguard them and educate future generations. This Italdesign Aztec was one such piece.

It’s believed that of Italian car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro’s 1988 Turin Motor Show prototype. This particular one, as featured on a listing, was supposedly displayed at the Shanghai Auto Museum between 2011 and 2015 before it was imported to the United States.

Most notably, the Aztec has dual-action doors and removable plexiglass top bubbles. These doors will be the talk of the town, as everyone stopped using doors in 2370 and transitioned fully to phasing through solid objects with quantum tunneling. You’ll be so quaint with your doors!

The Atzec runs on gasoline, another wonderful throwback. It’s powered by a 2.2-liter, inline-five from Audi (which was a German automaker back in the day). There’s also a five-speed manual transaxle and a Lancia (another automaker) Delta all-wheel drive system.

As the listing notes, this Aztec shows about 250 miles on its clock. The interior features an asymmetrical steering wheel and even has a CD player, cassette deck and equalizer. You can only find those things in museums these days; imagine being able to have them all in one car!

Pretend it’s the year 2020 and . What would you pay? . This thing would win my vote at tonight’s party. I can promise you no one else has one.

For $14,000, Manet, Monet, Mazda
With the introduction of the 3 sedan and hatch, Mazda really brought back the art of fun driving to their small cars. Today's Mazda3 takes that one step further, bringing actual art to the car. The question will be however, does its price paint a pretty picture? I don't want...

For $1,200, Is This Scorpio Rising?
In the Simpsons episode Hank Scorpio is an evil genius who is hell bent on world domination, and equally obsessed with his employee's work-life balance. Today's Merkur Scorpio may never dominate anything, but will its price at least prove worth plotting its take over? Patrons of the arts you proved...

For $5,900, Get Your Stari-On!
When it comes to small sport coupes today's Mitsubishi Starion is a whole lot closer to Porsche's 944 Turbo in form than it is to its country-mates the Nissan 280ZX and Toyota Supra. That being said, is this one's price also in Porsche's league? You know what's the best thing...

For $5,000, Get My Drift?
With all due respect to Alanis Morissette, being ironic does not include a traffic jam when you're already late, nor a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break. No, ironic - by definition - is today's W123 Diesel Drifter Wagon. The only question is — whether in a theater or not...

For $135,000, That’ll Leave A Mark III
When you think of James bond and Aston Martins, no doubt the iconic and gadget-laden DB5 comes to mind. Truth be told, when Ian Fleming wrote the novel Goldfinger, he drove a DB Mark III, just like today's contender. But the question is, will this one's price make it easy...

For $12,500, VW Squareback Limo, That Is All
If the VW Vortex was a high school, and they had a prom, what would be the coolest way to get there? The answer may be today's Squareback limo, that is of course unless its price imeans the party's over. While it's a common admonition that you don't mess with...
