Road Legal! Todd’s One-Owner 232k 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0

Every year fewer and fewer Fox-body Mustangs prowl the world’s roadways. Keeping this car forever never entered my mind on 17 November 1988 when I bought it — the only new car I’ve ever bought myself, and the most… more»

One Big Project: 1950 Chevrolet 3600

Little Blue Box: 1986 Nissan Stanza 4WD

I hope you have enjoyed Scotty G’s write-ups as much as I have! I think he is overly fond of Japanese cars, but perhaps it’s the effect of the long cold winters where he lives. When he asked me to… more»

UPDATE – Our Dart sold within a day for full asking price. Thanks Jim! If you follow the site then this Dart might look familiar. That’s because it’s one of my cars! You can read more about the day we… more»

State of the State: Jeff’s Project Updates

Success Story: The Spitfire Has Shipped!

Jeff’s New Project, Part 1: 1981 Toyota Hiace

MGB With Original Paint For $2,800!

After featuring our MGB we had a lot of nibbles, but no bites. This price point is tough because people don’t want to pay shipping for something so cheap. Still, I think the next owner is going to be… more»

BF Exclusive: Blue Plate 1974.5 MGB Roadster
