Straman Coach Conversion: 1987 Honda CRX
Normally, aftermarket convertible conversions can be questionable at best in terms of their final execution. Personally, I feel this becomes even more of a factor on short wheelbase cars like the original Honda CRX, but somehow, these oddball Straman… more»
Luxury Coach Candidate: 1973 Eagle Motor Coach
This 1973 Eagle Motor Coach is in my neck of the woods on the Providence, Rhode Island craigslist, with its last destination of San Francisco is still displayed prominently above the windshield. How did it get here? I can’t… more»
Swiss Edition: 1963 Mercedes Unimog S404
How do you assign value to a rig like a Unimog? It’s a tough call for me, personally, as I don’t have the kind of property that would demand a go-anywhere military spec vehicle, and I already have one… more»
Firenza Package: 1979 Oldsmobile Starfire
On the whole of it, the “Firenza” edition of the Oldsmobile Starfire is not a special car. But what is it about these oddball GM specials, with their aero kits and special stickers? So few of them exist today… more»
RHD JDM-Spec: 1970 Datsun Fairlady
Gray market cars remain one of my favorite types of vehicles to discover stateside, as they usually have an interesting story as to how they got here. Many of them also become ordinary, used vehicles as they migrate through… more»
Woody Conversion: 1966 Volkswagen Beetle

Rusty But Worthy: 1963 BMW 3200
Among BMW’s most collectible models, the classic E9 coupe gets more than its fair share of enthusiast attention. The earlier BMW 3200 seen here was produced in far lower numbers (less than 600) and shares more than a few… more»
Rare Notchback: 1985 Toyota Celica GT
The notchback body is a curious thing, as we tend to get excited when we spot them, whether attached to a Mustang or a Celica, like this 1985 model. Typically, these vehicles are available as a hatchback and sold… more»
5-Speed V8: 1986 Pontiac Firebird S/E
This 1986 Pontiac Firebird is not the most uncommon car, but it does appear to be a nicely optioned example that has been consistently maintained up until recently. It’s also a desirable manual transmission example with driver-quality paint, and… more»
Ex-Australian Fire Brigade: 1991 Ford Maverick
Over the last year, I have become quite friendly with a salvage yard in Australia that has helped immensely with my 1981 Toyota HiAce project. By “helped”, I mean they have cut apart several vans to send me good… more»
Big 10 Shop Truck: 1978 Chevrolet C-10
