Mod or Restore: 1963 Chevrolet Impala

Rod Or Restore: 1930 Model A Truck

Ford may have produced over 4 million Model A’s, but it is very hard to find one today that has not already been hot-rodded or restored. Well-preserved A’s can bring a pretty penny, so we thought this stock 1930… more»

Hairy-Chested & Cheap: 1974 Triumph TR6

Tree Damaged 1967 Land Rover Series IIA

What a shame. We are doubtful that this 1967 Land Rover can be brought back to life, but we hope someone will try. A tree fell on the cab 3 years ago and it has sat ever since. The… more»
