What I wouldn’t give for a nice, big storage building like the one this 1979 Pontiac Bonneville Coupe is parked in. High and dry, with more than enough room for all kinds of toys. This Bonneville Coupe is listed… 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.

Full-Track Vehicle Project: 1970 Ridge Runner ASV
“Hey, it’s spring, Scotty G. Why are you showing a vintage snowmobile?!” That’s a very good question, and my argument is that some folks restore snowmobiles in the summer and restore motorcycles in the winter. This is a fantastic… more»

1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Hardtop Coupe
19 feet of elegance and luxury, this 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Hardtop Coupe appears to be a gem in what I believe is Nordic Blue. The last of the big Olds Ninety-Eights, this ’72 model is around five inches shorter… more»

Restored Baby RD: 1973 Yamaha RD60
The first year for Yamaha’s “Baby RD” was 1973, and they’re really interesting bikes. They’re also fairly rare and don’t often come up for sale. This 1973 Yamaha RD60 is listed here on Facebook Marketplace in Slinger, Wisconsin, and… more»

1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Short-Bed 4-Speed
I believe this 1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside short-bed pickup was originally Yuma Yellow, or Dark Yellow, based on the color inside the engine compartment. I’m always bummed to see a color change, but it appears that this truck needs… more»

Chevrolet Caprice Grille? 1986 Pontiac Parisienne
This one is a head-scratcher for me. The seller has this car listed as a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne, which it sure looks like in every way other than the grille. Most of us remember that GM offered the Parisienne… more»

Survivor Sedan: 1972 Buick Electra 225 Limited
I’m a big fan of these early-70s Buicks, as I had a similar version of this car but in Hunter Green. This big Nutmeg-colored 1972 Buick Electra 225 Limited only came in a hardtop body style for four-door cars,… more»

Fila Edition: 1984 Ford Thunderbird 302 V8
Special edition vehicles don’t seem to be such a big thing anymore, but vehicles in the 1960s and 70s had a ton of them. Even into the 1980s and 90s, there were special editions with special badges, colors, graphics,… more»

30K-Mile Museum Car: 1981 Chevrolet Chevette
Always a crowd-pleaser car, or at least a crowd-gathering car, eyes-per-dollar, it’s hard to argue with the drawing power of a Chevy Chevette. Whether anyone would buy one just to have people ogling it is another question. This former… more»

Restored Minibike: 1971 Rupp Roadster/2
Having taken a few liberties with the restoration, this restored Rupp minicycle (as opposed to a minibike, as this one is street-legal) looks great overall, and the price can’t be beat. This restored 1971 Rupp Roadster 2, sometimes seen… more»
