About Scotty Gilbertson
I've always been a car nut. I drove my parents crazy by calling out cars from the backseat of our '56 Pontiac as a kid, and I never grew out of that. I still do that when I'm in the car by myself now, which I am for 30,000 miles a year as a former architect and now architectural photographer. I love a good road trip and I'm usually on one about 150-200 days a year. I've gravitated toward unusual vehicles in the last decade or so. I love everything related to all vehicles old, new, big, and small, cars, trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, motorhomes, and boats powered by gas, diesel, hybrid, EV, pedal, etc. Any vehicle that's small and unusual catches my eye, like the CitiCar or Elcar Zagato, but I've recently switched from cars to motorcycles and pickups for the most part. I'm of the school of thought that any real car guy or gal can appreciate any vehicle, even if they personally have no interest in it at all.

Back In Black: 1974 Chevrolet C-30 Dually
I’m glad this 1974 Chevrolet C-30 Dually pickup isn’t “murdered out.” I’m just about filled to the brim with reality show-wannabe everything-is-black vehicles, right down to illegal window tint that nobody cares about enforcing anymore. Well done, seller. It’s… more»

Awesome ATV: 1983 Honda FL250 Odyssey
The seller refers to this one as an “awesome ATC,” and I agree. The first-generation Honda Odyssey is easy to tell from the later models, as it was only available in yellow, and the roll bar was just in… more»

1965 Dodge D200 V8 4-Speed Survivor
