Euro Delivery Project: 1974 Porsche 911 Targa

Diamond in the Rough? 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Sometimes, you just can’t quite tell what’s going on with a seller in regards to how they view their car and its value. This is a desirable LS1-equipped Pontiac Trans Am, but it has definitely seen better days. The… more»

Super Clean FJ60: 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser

Rare Coupe Project: 1962 Porsche 356B

Euro Spec Bishop’s Car: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE

What a great story this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280SE has – so great, in fact, it’s surprising that it was left for dead in the seller’s barn. It’s not like it was involved in a bank heist or smuggled a… more»

Turbo-Look: 1989 Dodge Omni

383-Powered Wagon: 1969 Dodge Polara

American Road Camper: 1973 Ford F350 Pickup

In the pickup truck-turned-camper world, the Chevrolet Blazer Chalet has always been the top of the heap, both in terms of recognition and value. There was no real mystery to it in terms of why it has become a… more»
