No Reserve: 1979 Ford F250 Ranger Lariat Trailer Special
Finding an appropriate and potentially affordable tow vehicle can be challenging if the buyer isn’t in a position to hand over the considerble cash required to park a new vehicle in their garage. That is where this 1979 Ford… more»
Free Wheeling Mini Truck: 1979 Ford Courier
The Free Wheeling package offered by Ford has historically been associated with the full-size Bronco, but unbeknownst to me, it was also offered on the pint-sized Courier. The package itself was nothing much – a push bar, some decals… more»
1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat Supercab 4×4 Dually
What a nice truck! I should probably be more objective, sorry about that. This 1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat 4×4 SuperCab Dually looks perfect in Scarlet Red over (and under) Colonial White and I wouldn’t change a thing, even… more»
High Performance SUV: 1999 Ford Explorer Saleen XP8

V6 4-Speed: 1962 GMC 1000 Custom Wideside
GMC pickups from the early to mid-1960s seem to be popping up like weeds lately. Or I should say, like beautiful flowers, since they’re beautiful trucks, in my opinion. I like the GMC models for the unusual factor. We’ve… more»
Long Haul Go Kart: Tombilt Mini Cabover
File this under “cool as hell but what do I do with it?” This being a Tombilt mini-cabover, a two-vehicle project built by a fellow named Tom Dell for his kids. This appears to be one of the two… more»
Bought and Parked: 1969 Jeep Wagoneer
This 1969 Jeep Wagoneer might be familiar to some of you if it was on your list to bid on back in 2017. That’s because it’s the same truck that appeared in a Bring A Trailer listing and apparently… more»
Cheap Muscle Truck: 1998 Dodge Dakota R/T
One of the more interesting dalliances I had with a project car was when I purchased a pickup similar to this one: a 1998 Dodge Dakota R/T, one of the few remaining muscle trucks you can still buy without… more»
460 Power! 1973 Ford Ranchero 500
