Parked For 10 Years: 1982 DeLorean DMC-12

Lowest Mileage Example? ASC McLaren Grand Prix

The ASC McLaren Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo has quite a long name, but it’s also a legitimately impressive performance car (by 80s standards) that is near impossible to find today in condition like this one. It helps that this… more»

Centaurus Conversion: 1996 Ford F350

What do you make of these aftermarket conversions of otherwise ordinary vehicles? I suppose in an era where manufacturers weren’t getting away with charging $50K (or more) for a pickup truck, the aftermarket was the only choice if you… more»

29,765 Miles: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra

The first owner held onto this bone-stock 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra until 2018, making it practically (but not quite) a one-owner vehicle. In that time, the Mustang was clearly cherished, with no obvious modifications or abuse inflicted upon it…. more»

Ferrari Alternative: 1991 GMC Syclone

While the concept of hot rodded SUVs is a trend that continues, single-cab, light-duty pickup trucks with lofty performance aspirations are a dying breed. Yes, I know, they stuffed a Viper drivetrain into a Ram, but that was a… more»

Field of Dreams? Chevy and GMC Truck Projects

If you have a hobby like car or truck collecting, it’s helpful to have lots of land and some steel buildings on your property. Of course, it can get quite dangerous, too, as your collecting can get out of… more»

Cosmetic Resto Candidate: 1982 Datsun 280ZX Turbo

One of the few things I loved about my departed Subaru XT6 project was that it came with headlight washers. For whatever reason, I just dig the idea of a washer system in miniature, and reserved just for the… more»

Turbo Coupe Survivor: 16K Mile Ford Thunderbird

One of the cars that is outside my normal sweet spots of old, German, and good handing or old, Japanese, and utilitarian is the Ford Mustang SVO or Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. I’m not sure why, but I love turbocharged… more»

Junkyard Trooper Update: Seized Engine Shocker!

Well, while I had hoped my next update on the junkyard-find 1986 Isuzu Trooper I acquired would have pictures of it fording streams and bouncing over rocks, that is sadly not the case. When we last left you, I… more»

Trophy Potential: 1987 Dodge Charger

I’m ashamed to admit this, but original stickers and graphics kits really do make an otherwise mundane car way more appealing to me (just take a look at my junkyard find Isuzu Trooper project, acquired in large part because… more»

34,335 Miles: 1996 Chevy Corvette

I keep telling myself now is the time to buy a Corvette of this vintage, as they’ve been far too cheap for too many years. Offering respectable performance in an attractive wrapper, the later C4 cars were dramatic improvements… more»

38k Documented Miles: 1961 Ford F100 Pickup

What a neat truck: just 38,000 original miles with the kind of wear and tear that only comes with years of gentle use. The truck comes from Montana, which has clearly helped to keep the body in excellent condition… more»

Turbo Parts Car: 1987 Buick Grand National

Not all of our automotive heroes go on to lives of car shows and weekly waxing, or to live in gleaming garages with tile floors. Sometimes, even the most revered badges and nameplates end up rotten and broken (see… more»

Storage Unit Find: $1K Chevrolet Camaro

While I’ve been able to find interesting cars on farms and in junkyards, a storage unit find has eluded me. Of course, if you don’t use a storage unit for extra space, it’s hard to come across interesting finds… more»

Gold Keys Included: 1993 Cadillac Allante

In my younger days, any hard cover book touting the exotic cars of the late 80s and early 90s would always include an Allante. Even if book publishers knew the Cadillac flagship was far from an exotic, it was… more»

454 Equipped: 1975 Chevy Corvette

This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette is a captivating project, certainly more so than most Corvettes of this vintage we feature. This example has a modern 454 engine swapped in, paired to a manual transmission. The seller says it’s a “fun… more»
