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»

Obscure 90s Classic: 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo

Worth Restoring? 1984 Ford Mustang SVO
