Y-Block Project: 1960 Ford Galaxie Starliner
Ford released the first really hot FE in 1960 with its high-performance 360-horsepower 352, and when paired with the Starliner’s swoopy roofline, it was clear to see that Ford may have fostered some sporting intentions, perhaps in the southeastern… more»

1978 Ford LTD Landau 4-Door Pillared Hardtop
Reported to be a rust-free Alabama car, this 1978 Ford LTD Landau 4-Door Pillared Hardtop looks solid and is an interesting body style. Or has an interesting name. To me, a hardtop doesn’t have a B-pillar, but this one… more»

65K Miles: Triple-Black 1978 Dodge Magnum XE
A Dodge Magnum XE brochure says this model “epitomizes the personal driving machine.” For 1978, I think they were onto something. The sad part, though, is that I was never, nor will I ever be, as cool as this… more»

18K-Mile 1961 Dodge D300 W/ Vista Liner Camper
The photos of this heavy-duty Dodge one-ton pickup and vintage camper aren’t the best, sadly. I’m not sure why, but it is what it is, as people say. It deserves better, but this 1961 Dodge D300 with a Vista… more»
