The Real Tow Mater! 1956 Chevy 3800 Boom Truck

The seller makes the obvious cinematic reference to the Tow Mater character from the movie Cars when describing this 1956 Chevy 3800 Series tow truck, which is fair given its obvious resemblance. For its sake, however, I hope it… more»

Ignore the Pollen: 1981 Chevy Camaro Z28

Sequential Shelbys: #130 and #131 Dodge Omni GLHS

Battle Scars Preserved: 1972 Porsche 911 Targa

Wild ’80s Custom: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

Restoration Started: 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T
