Hard Hit: 1984 Buick Skylark T-Type

Vandalized While Stored: 1970 Mercedes 280SE

Dry Docked Duck: DUKW Amphibious Vehicle

While the image of this six-wheeled amphibious DUKW peering out of the Oregon undergrowth is partly terrifying, it’s also not that unsettling given these former military vehicles now do parade laps in cities like Boston as a tourist attraction…. more»

USGP Edition: 1980 Toyota Celica Survivor

Ran When Parked: 1969 Dodge D200

No Reserve: 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite

Tucked Away: 1974 Plymouth Road Runner
