Rare Commemorative Edition: 1979.5 Ford Ranchero
A few weeks back, I covered this 1972 Ford Ranchero and stated, “Full disclosure, Ford Rancheros, such as this 1972 example, don’t capture my imagination the way that Chevy’s El Camino does“. Well, that lack of imagination capture extends… more»
LS V8 Power! 1965 Dodge D300
Dodge’s D-Series trucks were all new in 1961, with a styling refresh again in 1966. That would be the first use of the venerable Slant-Six engine in the trucks, along with alternators instead of generators. D100s were ½ ton… more»
7K Miles! 1997 Ford F-250 XLT 5-Speed Diesel 4×4
There are time capsules and there are time capsules – if that makes any sense. That term is bandied about a lot when it comes to vintage vehicles and for the record, a 1997 Ford F-250 XLT 4×4 diesel… more»

Bivouac Custom Conversion: 1982 Chevrolet G20 Van
We tend to get excited by conversion vans around here, and the more period-correct they are, the more interesting the van becomes. But there’s also a nice middle ground when it comes to conversion vans, and you don’t have… more»
Bus Garage Sale! Volkswagen Buses and Squareback

Saturday Night Cruiser: 1959 Chevrolet Apache 31
While original classic pickups from the 1950s can prove eye-catching when fully restored, the driving experience can be less than ideal. Considered acceptable when new, they can lack the power and poise of later offerings. That’s where vehicles like… more»
Unrestored 4X4: 1951 Dodge Power Wagon
The older Dodge Power Wagons like this one are some of the toughest-looking trucks ever produced. This particular one seems to have only a few drawbacks and has been listed for sale here on craigslist. It’s located in Newcastle,… more»
21-Window Rag Top: 1967 VW Microbus Deluxe
One of the harder decisions to make is when you have a desirable specimen of a vehicle in project form and you know it’s not going to get the treatment it deserves in the short term. This 1967 Volkswagen… more»

I’m steeling myself for the “broken record” comments where I pontificate yet again about just where all of these Chevrolet K5 Blazer Chalets are coming from. Here’s yet another one, also in project form, that needs restoration but supposedly… more»
