DIY-Friendly? 1978 Porsche 930
As you have have read on these pages, my daily driver 1995 M3 bit the dust a few weeks ago. In a perfect world, I would have stored it and gotten to refreshing the headgasket in a few years… more»
Not So Big in Texas: 1956 BMW Isetta
As someone who has never successfully flipped a car, I often wonder if the selling price tells you just how deep a flipper is into the car he’s selling. I can’t help but think that this cute 1956 BMW… more»
Off-Season Buy: 1974 Cadillac Eldorado
After one of the best Indian Summers we’ve had in years, a blustery day in New England this morning has revealed that winter is indeed coming. I loathe the winter months, but they do represent a potentially good time… more»
Air Force Officer Owned: 1970 Ford Torino GT
I did a double take at first because this 1970 Ford Torino GT seemed quite familiar to me. Credit the factory “laser stripe,” which must have been a popular feature, for my deja vu: we profiled a similar car… more»
KITT Wannabe: 1986 Pontiac Firebird
For work, I recently attended the local showing of the Comic Con festival, where my employer was a sponsor. I had never been to this show but heard and seen plenty; consider me surprised when I saw a cadre… more»
Original Paint: 1970 Chevy Corvette

Factory 400 & Corinthian Leather: ’76 Cordoba
As a model, Chrysler Cordobas rarely need much of an introduction. Its distinctive name and bold styling combined to make it the kind of car you’d likely turn your head and stare at in 1976. The one that’s for… more»
Original Paint? 1957 Volvo PV444
The story behind this supposedly original paint 1957 Volvo PV444 makes me wonder if the seller and I bought projects from the same guy. Originally found in Georgia – like my ’81 Toyota Hiace project – and said to… more»
Old Dog: 1948 GM PD3751 Coach
I can’t claim to know much about old buses, but I do know I love their style. It seems today’s methods of mass transit have made a point of being as slab-sided and as visually exciting as vanilla ice… more»
39K Mile Flat Body: 1985 Dodge Conquest
