Emissions Delete: 1983 Ferrari 308 GTBi

This clean 1983 Ferrari 308 GTBi is a desirable European-spec car, meaning it doesn’t suffer from the performance-sapping emissions equipment that plagues U.S. models. Said to have been used sparingly while stored for the last 16 years, it does have… more»

Buy Or Else: American LaFrance Firetruck

Fire trucks don’t normally ring my bells but I hate to see a good rig put out to pasture before it’s ready. The seller of this American LaFrance says he needs it gone by the 22nd – otherwise, it’s… more»

Lambo Beater: Tired 1991 GMC Syclone

Ah, how the mighty have fallen. The GMC Syclone and its partner-in-crime, the Typhoon, are typically purchased as collector cars, albeit ones that you can drive without too much concern about adding a few miles every year. Well, just… more»

Stored 20 Years: 1979 Fiat X1/9

It was 80 degrees in the northeast yesterday, which, being the first warm day we’ve had since last summer, meant I desperately wanted to be driving one of my projects. The only problem is, three of the four are… more»

Philly Beat: 1973 Plymouth Fury Police Car

Old police cars aren’t exactly rare, but so many of them have been restored back to original condition that it’s almost getting boring seeing them at shows. However, an unrestored police car still wearing the scars of its last… more»

Tropic Thunder: 1955 Willys Bermuda

Here’s a rare bird: a Willys Aero two-door sedan in Bermuda trim. Interestingly, this Willys is located in the same small community where I found my Toyota HiAce project, the rolling countryside of Copper Hill, Tennessee. I’m willing to… more»

All the Goodies! 1986 Dodge Omni GLH

More and more, I think the 1980s represent my favorite era of vehicles. There was just something slightly obnoxious, slightly irreverent about cars from this era – almost like they knew they were odd little upstarts, but still wanted… more»

Less Than 10,000 Miles: 1993 Mustang Cobra

Not much is said about this Fox Body Mustang that comes with the impressive Cobra package. Considered one of the first successful projects of Ford’s internal SVT division, the Cobra of the early 90s was not necessarily a sophisticated… more»

Powered by Renault: 1958 Berkeley Roadster

Buying an old race car is always such a romantic idea, especially if it’s a car you had seen racing back in the day. That’s the story this seller tells, reminiscing that he spotted this beaten-up 1958 Berkeley Roadster… more»

Near-New Apparatus: 1965 Dodge Power Wagon

It’s amazing what’s hiding away in firehouses across the USA. This 1965 Dodge Power Wagon isn’t the first low-mileage apparatus we’ve featured, but it sure is one of the nicest. With less than 12,000 original miles, this former pumper… more»

Buford’s Bus: 1968 Chevy 90 Van

Do celebrity connections help move inventory when it comes to project vehicles? I’m not sure, but the seller of this weathered rescue van for the McNairy County municipality in Tennessee throws out a curious anecdote about this patina’d emergency… more»

Everything’s Dry in Texas: 1970 Toyota Hilux

Due to rust and relative obscurity, finding a vintage Japanese pickup in the USA is one of the more difficult project vehicle searches you can embark on – particularly if you’re looking for a nice one. Starting your search… more»

Yet Another Survivor: 5,256 Mile Buick Gran Sport

Ferraris, Austin Healeys, Porsches – these are all cars that have a logical place in a garage bay, only to be used on the sunniest and driest of days. A mid-90s Buick  Regal Gran Sport Coupe? Not so much,… more»

Paid in Full: 18,000 Mile ’82 Chevy S10

The 1980s Chevy S10 always strikes a familiar chord with me. My brother had one as his first vehicle in high school, and it was a sharp blue truck with the single cab and 2WD. Paired with a 5-speed… more»

Showroom Fresh: 879 Mile 1981 DeLorean DMC12

There’s no question that the classic DeLorean DMC12 has been a collector’s item since it was new. Although it’s a fairly recent phenomenon that late-model cars like the McLaren F1 seemingly never lose their value while others are at… more»
