Engine Upgrade: 1963 Ford Falcon Futura

I don’t think of a Ford Falcon as a compact car, but that’s what Ford marketed them as. They weren’t the first for an American car maker, as the Rambler American was first, but for the big three, the… more»

Parked 10 Years: 1974 AMC Hornet Hatchback

I normally pass up tips that have vertical photos (sigh) and no engine photos, but an AMC Hornet with two doors and a floor-shifted manual transmission sort of makes up for those two cardinal sins. This 1974 AMC Hornet… more»

Good Buy Or Goodbye? 1975 International Scout II

38K Miles? 1952 Willys Aero Ace 2-Door Sedan

The Willys (pronounced Willis) Aero, sometimes seen as Aero Willys, should be more popular than it is. It personifies post-WWII design and naming conventions in America, and they’re just plain cool. This 1952 Willys Aero Ace is posted here… more»

1969 Rupp Roadster Twin-Engine Minibike!

If one engine is good, two engines are better, right? Yes, that’s almost always the case, at least when it comes to custom minibikes. 12 horsepower is a lot for a minibike and the seller of this custom 1969… more»

Beautiful Survivor: 1979 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

Coming 75 years after the founding of the Cadillac Automobile Company, the fifth-generation DeVille series, beginning in 1977, was downsized along with most other full-sized GM cars. They were still generous in room and luxury and this 1979 Cadillac… more»

Bargain 4×4? 1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer

40 Years In A Barn: 1949 Crosley Convertible

BF Auction: 1982 Honda C70 Passport

It’s impossible to argue with Honda’s success with motorcycles over the last several decades. Whether some folks would call this 1982 Honda C70 Passport a motorcycle or not is debatable, but as far as I’m concerned, almost anything with… more»

User-Friendly Pit Bike: 1991 Honda Cub EZ90

Small motorcycles are often referred to as scooters whether they’re scooters or or not. Or, mini-bikes, which typically have pull-start engines, basic, exposed frames, and aren’t as refined as motorcycles from major manufacturers. This 1991 Honda Cub EZ90 is… more»

Wine Country Find: 1985 Ford F-150 4-Speed

Located in dry Sacramento, California for the last 38 years, where I should have moved after high school over 38 years ago, this rust-free, short-bed 1985 Ford F-150 looks like a great truck. That’s dangerously close to one of… more»

Cheap Project: 1970s Muskin Tri-Cat

Fuel-Injected 360 V8-Powered 1971 Jeep J4000 4×4

Every time I see a Jeep pickup, I’m reminded just how cool they were, and I’m bummed that they don’t make one now. And, I don’t mean the new Gladiator based on the Wrangler, especially since that one only… more»

Time Capsule: 1988 Dodge Grand Caravan
