Original Paint: 1973 Plymouth Gold Duster

Given the brutal cold blanketing parts of the country today, a snow machine that can blast through the worst Mother Nature can offer seems downright appealing. For whatever reason, the information on this pair of Thiokol Snowcats isn’t loading… more»

14K Original Miles? 1959 Willys Jeep CJ-5
