Abandoned 90s Sports Car: 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

Final Year Retro Rod: 2002 Chrysler Prowler
Understandably, the Plymouth Prowler was a mild disappointment after it was introduced. Most every enthusiast that followed the Chip Foose years when a show car concept was greenlighted for production was understandably underwhelmed that car which looked like a… more»
Jackson Racing Upgrades: 1978 Honda Civic CVCC
One thing we can all agree on whether we fancy Camaros or Civics is that period upgrades are cool as heck. Really, any car that was modified in-period and survives to this day with modifications that are otherwise near… more»
Rare GLX Trim: 1983 Ford Mustang

One Family Owned: 1991 Cadillac Allante
How is it that some cars with a reputation for unloved or overpriced can survive for years in the care of one owner or family, seeming providing decades of dutiful service? There are Cadillac Allantes in junkyards all over… more»
78K Original Miles: 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT
One of my favorite expressions tied to tinkering with old vehicles is “You’re buying the seller, not the car.” This has proven itself true time and again, especially as it relates to how a car or truck has been… more»
