Short Wheelbase Cabriolet: 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280GE

Ute Conversion: 2010 Dodge Charger R/T

Did you know there’s a company that sells kits to convert your present-day Dodge Charger into a Ute (utility or coupe utility vehicle)? These cars are plentiful, especially retired police state trooper cars that can usually be picked up… more»

Big Red Survivor: 1977 Chevrolet Suburban

Winter Project: 1962 Studebaker Champ

I’m often drawn to cars and trucks from some of the less popular American automakers. I’d primarily contribute that to my affinity for the less common, but I maintain they have appeal otherwise. This 1962 Studebaker Champ, for example,… more»

Well-Optioned 4×4: 1982 Subaru BRAT
