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»

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»

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»
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

Spares Included: 1966 Ford Bronco

Sunroof Coupe: 1973 Plymouth Satellite
It’s far from the most exotic car you’ll see today, but the sheer honesty of a car like this 1973 Plymouth Satellite is also quite captivating. With gently sunburnt paint and a boring-but-predictable 318 under the hood, the Satellite… more»
Driveway Rescue: 1979 International Scout
The seller of this 1979 International Harvester Scout claims it’s been sitting in his driveway for too long, stuck there after a family emergency took his attention away from restoring the vintage off-roaders. The Scout looks like a worthy… more»
