Pure Air-Cooled: 1980 Porsche 911 SC
Sometimes, a formula just works. It doesn’t need further embellishment, a dozen different videos, or a four-figure photo session. A 911 SC is a known quantity, and perhaps one of the purest forms of an air-cooled 911 that doesn’t… more»

Diesel Cargo Van: 1981 Volkswagen Bus
Fascinating: like the classic Volkswagen Beetle, the Bay Window design of the classic VW Bus continued to be manufactured in Brazil years after its retirement in the U.S. We have noticed an uptick in vehicles from these later years… more»

QV Swapped Driver: 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi
We hear the word “driver” kicked around all the time, and I use it quite a bit myself to describe cars that aren’t pristine but are more or less kept in good, running order. But there are cars that… more»
Tribute To A Friend: 1955 MG Magnette ZA

27k Miles? 1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula
Here’s a question for fans of the loud, tape-striped cars of the 1970s: Which one had the best graphics package? I’m a fan of the 1976 and up Formula Firebird. A little more subdued than the all-out Trans Am,… more»
