Estate Sale Survivor: 1960 Lancia Appia
Usually, when one bandies about the “Survivor” term it’s in reference to a sparingly used domestic model of some esteem. But a survivor Lancia? Well, why not, the title shouldn’t know a specific auto nationality and that’s the case… more»

Saved From The Crusher: 1940s Ford 9N Tractor
This tractor is a little tough to nail down the date for when it was made. The seller doesn’t show any numbers but they refer to it as a 1939 to 1942 Ford 9N. They have it listed here… more»

Project Pony: 1976 Ford Pinto

Rarely Seen: 1976 Hodaka Wombat 125
Let’s see a show of hands for those folks who thought that Hodaka was a Japanese motorcycle company? It was actually based in eastern Oregon but they did import bikes and/or engines for bikes and they’re fairly rare today…. more»

Perfect Project: 1960 Shasta Airflyte Trailer
Even though we’re having an incredibly grueling, drawn-out, relentless end of winter here in the upper Midwest, most of us have spring on our minds and for me, that’s motorcycles and vintage campers. In this case, trailers and this… more»
