964 Project: 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2
Every now and again, you see a car that gives you a pang of regret. For me, it’s always the “Did I buy too soon?” conundrum. Fortunately, I rarely am proven wrong in terms of my instincts being correct,… more»
Trade for Kei Truck: 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC
The Jaguar XJ-SC was a novel approach to open-air motoring that hasn’t been replicated anytime recently. The combination of a V12-powered grand tourer with the option of a removable top or a fixed-roof coupe certainly stands as one of… more»
24K Original Miles: 1985 Cadillac Seville
When the second-generation Cadillac Seville was introduced, America’s predominant luxury brand was trying to combat a challenge it still wrestles with today: how to win over younger buyers and get them into the showroom. The dramatic redesign of the… more»
German Fire Truck: 1960 Unimog 404

Turbo Diesel Camper: 1986 Vixen 21TD
One of the coolest campers ever made has to be the Vixen 21TD. Rightfully so, this was considered the driver’s RV, a motorhome with a low center of gravity, slippery and wind-cheating exterior, a BMW turbodiesel engine, and an… more»
Pace Car Project: 1979 Ford Mustang
The world of pace cars has changed dramatically over the years. There was a time when they were wildly valuable, kept in air-tight chambers with delivery miles on them. As motorsports and America’s interest in racing has changed,… more»
