Low Mile Survivor: 1970 Continental Mark III
An airport is the perfect location to take photos of a 1970 Continental Mark III, in my opinion. The image of a jet-setting money-is-no-object owner, flying off to some exotic location to check on a bridge engineering project in… more»

1 of 3,000: Rust-Free 1988 Ford Ranger GT
You’re right, that grille isn’t a factory Ford Ranger GT piece that would have been on this truck when it rolled off the assembly line. You’re also right that I’d be sourcing an original-style grille on day one after… more»

Mostly Original? 1966 Arctic Cat 140D

Stored 38 Years: 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
