1971 Mustang Boss 351 Project

After Josh’s “pace car in pieces” Camaro story from the other day, I figured I’d better followup with something from the blue oval. This 1971 Mustang rivals that Camaro in more ways than one! It may be fully assembled… more»

Period Nasty Boy: 1956 Austin-Healey 100

Of all the Big Healeys produced, the ones built between 1953-1956 will always be my favorites. Sure, the later cars benefited from many improvements, but the purity of the early cars just can’t be beat! The triangular grill was… more»

Instant Wedding Car Business: 2 Austin Limos

I’ll admit it. I have thought about starting a wedding car business on occasion. I like cake as much as the next guy, but I can’t really say that I enjoy weddings all that much. The prospect of owning a… more»

You know I wouldn’t sell a car without having a replacement lined up! We found this wagon while we were on the hunt for an old Volvo. We did end up dragging home a 1964 122s, but also met a few Volvo… more»

Call Dibs On The Miata!

My wife has been suggesting that I need a different daily driver for while now. Back when I bought the Miata, I predicted that “eventually the sensible side of me will force a sell”. Well, she has spoken! Actually,… more»

Flamboyant Brit: 1983 Rolls-Royce Camargue

When Jim S sent in the link to this Rolls-Royce he pointed out that the fact that this clean functional car could be had for half the price of the 356 project we featured the other day. It’s still… more»

What’s Behind It: Alfa Romeo Stash

The Alfa is cool and all, but I’m going go ahead and ask the inevitable question here – what about all the cars behind it? It never seems to fails that as soon as we feature a car that… more»

Barn Finds Are For Kids Too: 1949 Austin J40

It’s possible that the city of Boise doesn’t own a single snow plow! The white stuff is piling up outside and the inexperienced winter drivers here make the trip to work frightful. So, maybe I will just stay inside… more»

Survivor Wagon: 1979 Plymouth Volare

If you didn’t already know, I’m on the hunt for a new daily driver to replace the Miata. As much as I love that little car, it isn’t good at hauling much more than myself around. Occasional kid duty… more»

Duster Update: Almost Ready To Go

With the auction nearing its end, I thought it would be a good time to discuss some of the little irritants that I addressed this week. I always try to leave cars at least marginally better than when I… more»
