Single Cab Syncro: 1986 Volkswagen Doka Transporter
When you can own a classic vehicle that combines utility with desirability, you’ve got it made in the shade. Sadly, most vehicles offering some utility aren’t all that collectible because of the very fact that they were used, heavily…. more»
Manual W123: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D

Backyard Bargain? No Reserve 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

Pristine Pastel Yellow: 1989 Chrysler TC Maserati
Recently, a friend of mine purchased a car very similar to this Chrysler TC by Maserati, right down to the primrose yellow paint job. For all the bad jokes and teeth gnashing about the failure that was the TC,… more»

Stored 10 Years: 1970 Porsche 914
