Parts or Project: 1974 Chevrolet El Camino

Rare Truck: 1931 Kleiber 2.5 Ton Flatbed

Fresh Paint and Motor: 1973 Chevrolet C-10

Reduced Price: 1928 Chevrolet National Pickup

This 1928 Chevrolet one-ton, pickup truck struck me as interesting. Being a ’28 would make this a one-year-only AB National model, but I don’t recall encountering a one-ton version; prior discoveries have been of lighter capacity examples. Claimed as… more»

58K Original Miles: 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief S

This 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief “S” is a nicely presented driver-slash-survivor, hovering somewhere between those two categories. The truck has been painted once since new and has been with the current caretaker since 1987 who purchased it off the… more»

Owned Since ’71: 1971 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup

Sport Deluxe: 1967 Chevrolet G10 Van

FJ40 Replica: 1982 Delta Mini Cruiser

Here’s one you don’t see every day: a replica of a classic Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser known as a 1982 Delta Mini Cruiser! This is perhaps one of my most favorite things on eBay in many years, as it’s… more»

That ’56 Ford F100 Down The Street

There have been more than a few times that an interesting classic car has shown up in one of our neighbor’s driveways, only to disappear before we’ve had a chance to stop and ask them about it. It always… more»

Post-War Patina! 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

The 3100 series was the half-ton mainstay of Chevy pickups from 1947-57. It was part of the Advance Design Series and the company’s first new trucks in the rebuilding that began after World War II. This 1950 edition looks… more»

30 Years Parked: 1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo

Ski Lodge Bus! 1970 Ford Econoline
