Questionable Project: 1936 Dodge Barn Find
“Please read entire add don’t ask stupid questions…” So commands the seller of this 1936 Dodge coupe. Considering the literary quality of the listing, I’d be inclined to ask a lot of what would probably be considered “stupid questions”… more»

Chevy Extravaganza! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air And Others

No Frills: 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe
What to make of the muscle car? I got it a long time ago, I don’t anymore. People go ga-ga over ridiculously over-priced, over-restored cars that really can’t be driven or used in any enjoyable manner. If you… more»
