The Original Hot Hatch: 1973 AMC Gremlin X

We have featured a few Gremlins over the years, but every time we have wished that they had a V8/manual in place of the more common inline-six/automatic combo. Well, I just found our dream Gremlin! This one not only has a 304… more»

Yes, You Could Have a V8: 1980 Triumph TR8

Ok, I admit it, as a past owner of a TR8 (and hopefully someday a future owner as well), I’m partial to the last Triumph TR.  The Harris Mann-penned design has worn well through the years, and this convertible… more»

Stuck in the Shore: Lake-Find BMW Isetta

Out of Time: 1972 Volvo 1800E

Project cars: we love them, we loathe them. As I consider potentially adding a new project to my fleet, I’m reminded of the thoughts I had in the first few months of owning my E30. Feeling overwhelmed comes to… more»

A Fair Project:  1967 Ford Fairlane 500

When I was in high school, two of my friends had cars similar to this. One was a Comet, the other a Fairlane. What I remember the most was the sweet exhaust note both of them had; I believe… more»

Seeking Info: 1950 Crosley “Super” Hotshot

From Dave Anspach – I am the proud owner of a “barn” (well garage) find 1950 Crosley “Super” Hotshot. Crosley made the Hotshot as America’s first postwar sportscar beginning in 1949. The cars had a varied and successful racing… more»

Fix It Again Tony: Fiat 124 Spider Duo

Canadian Cat: 1992 Jaguar XJS Coupe

I’ve taken an affinity towards these modern-day Jaguar coupes in recent months. This has little to do with any sort of allegiance to the brand; rather, I’ve come across a few in local salvage yards that have yielded some… more»

Cruising Patrol: 1939 Ford Ambulance

A-peeling Coupe: 1969 Triumph GT6+

When the Triumph Spitfire debuted in 1962, the fact that it had the small 1147cc Herald-based engine didn’t matter to a market hungry for an Italian-styled pretty little sports car. Unlike its main competitors (the Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget tandem)… more»
