No Reserve One Owner: 1996 Ford Bronco XLT

14K Original Miles? 1959 Willys Jeep CJ-5

Years back there was a breakfast cereal tagline that went, “Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs”. Today, it seems that the motoring public is “Jumping for Jeeps” as the venerable brand’s various models seem to fly out off of showroom… more»

Slant Six Power! 1920 Dodge Delivery Custom Replica

This was a real “what ‘da hay?” moment – the first thing that hit me when I  spied this custom was the thought that the Munster Mobile has had a makeover. This Krazy Kustom is based on a 1920… more»

No Reserve! Excellent 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

Rare! Claims the seller of this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. With about 84K produced in ’69, there is nothing rare about this ubiquitous Plymouth muscle car. Finding one in this condition? Now that may be rare as this is… more»

Go Pack and Rally Pack: 1968 AMC AMX

Suburban Alternative: 1973 International Harvester Travelall

Last Flown in 1990: Taylorcraft BC12D

This Taylorcraft BC12D is sitting in a hangar as a forgotten project, having last left the ground in 1990. Don’t mind the mood lighting; there’s nothing particularly eerie about this budget-friendly flyer that was seemingly designed to be the… more»

Cheap Project? 1968 Chevrolet Impala
