Former Concours Car: 1971 Lamborghini Espada Series II
You’re gonna think I’m off my rocker, but Lamborghini’s Espada is as competent a grocery-getter as it is a grand tourer. The rear seats are more spacious than any 2+2, though still not on a par with most American… more»
Ford V8 Transplant: 1988 Dodge Raider
The 1988 Dodge Raider was a competent performer with impressive off-road capabilities. However, many people craved more power than the factory four-cylinder motor could provide. The seller has taken matters into their own hands, swapping out the four for… more»

Short-Bed Survivor: 1967 International B200 Travelette 4×4
