Has anyone else wondered why vehicle companies can’t seem to come together to coordinate the gas door location to put them on the right side or the left side or in the back or wherever, rather than just putting… more»
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.

Rust-Free: 1992 Dodge Ram 250 Diesel 5-Speed
I’ll try not to say this 1992 Dodge Ram 250 diesel 5-speed is a box-checker as often as I usually do when a diesel truck with a manual transmission comes up for sale. This one is rear-wheel drive, so… more»

DOHC Survivor Sedan: 1998 Dodge Neon Highline
There were three engines available in the first-generation Neon, and this 1998 Dodge Neon Highline has the “hottest” one. 150 horsepower isn’t exactly hot for 2026, but in 1998, in a 2,500-pound car, it was at least warm for… more»

1988 Jeep Comanche 4×4 SporTruck 5-Speed

16,700 Miles! 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
It’s hard to believe that 1978 was almost five decades ago already. Cadillac was touting the standard features of its ultra-luxury 1978 Eldorado as having power steering, power disc brakes, and front-wheel drive, all things we take for granted… more»

Said to be from Arizona and having had one repaint while with the original owner, an unknown number of years ago, this 1978 Toyota long-bed pickup looks like a nice example. It’s been hiding away for a few years,… more»

Restored 1978 AMC Concord D/L 4-Speed
I love seeing non-1970s muscle cars restored to like-new condition. ’70s muscle cars get all the love when it comes to throwing $100 bills at a restoration, but a car like this 1978 AMC Concord D/L with a factory… more»

Stored 40 Years: 1963 International Scout 350 V8
Said to have been parked for 40 years, somewhere along the line, someone snuck a Chevy 350 V8 under the hood in place of the original four-cylinder engine in this 1963 International Scout 80. It doesn’t look like a… more»

Everything Works But The Engine! 1976 AMC Pacer X
The seller shows a couple of photos of a nice Pacer in their listing, somewhat of a tricky thing to drawing in people to click on the listing. I guess that’s pretty common in this era, but once you… more»

Storage Unit Find: 1978 Dodge Power Wagon 150
Appearing to have been worked pretty hard during its life, this 1978 Dodge Power Ram 150 4×4 pickup comes across as a diamond in the rough in the seller’s description. Maybe I’m being too picky, which could be the… more»

$2,500 Or Best Offer: 1979 Ford Pinto Runabout
There aren’t many vehicles for sale under $5,000 anymore, and it seems like $10,000 is about the minimum for one that’s even remotely usable and somewhat reliable, not to mention something interesting. This 1979 Ford Pinto Runabout is certainly… more»

Twin-Stick Project: 1980 Dodge Colt
This 1980 Dodge Colt is a bit rougher around the edges than I originally thought when I saw it listed here on eBay yesterday. I love these little cars, and if rust isn’t an issue, this one could be… more»

Unmodified Survivor: 1977 Chevrolet El Camino
I’m not someone who names my vehicles, but the first owner of this 1977 Chevrolet El Camino named it “Ellie,” and it’s said to be original other than possibly some paint work on the bed portion. It was owned… more»

1987 Ford Ranger XLT 4×4 Turbo-Diesel 5-Speed
I have a bad habit of referring to vehicles as being box-checkers, as in having just about every feature or option that I’d ever want in a vehicle, usually a truck, since I’m heavily into pickups lately. This 1987… more»

Solid Gold: 1985 Dodge Mini Ram Van
This 1985 Dodge Mini Ram Van isn’t solid gold, of course. It isn’t even as Solid Gold as the 1980s dance party and variety show of the same name. But it is gold’ish inside and out, and the seller… more»

1988 Ford Bronco II XL Sport V6 5-Speed
