Sleeping Kitty: 1967 Mercury Cougar

I’ve had a soft spot for early Cougars ever since my father brought me a 1/43 scale plastic model of one shortly after its launch. That was followed by Aurora slot cars that I loved also. My mother had… more»

Rusty Bird Of Prey: 1963 Ford Falcon

If you are a Ford nut or just know your Ford history, you know the Falcon was one of the brand’s most significant models. Ironically, it is also one of their most under-appreciated classics. The Falcon has gone mostly… more»

Samba Wannabe: 1960 Mercedes O319D

I truly love odd and unusual vehicles, especially ones that you can actually afford to own and drive. The biggest problem with any oddball is finding parts, as most were never built in any significant numbers. If you can… more»

Cheap And Cheerful: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500

If you count the cars my family has owned and I’ve taken care of, we’ve owned almost 20 Triumph Spitfires (the current count is three in the family). Always offering good value for money if you want a British… more»

Scratch And Dent: 1986 Buick Grand National

A few days ago, Jesse inadvertently reminded me of one of my favorite activities: perusing Copart’s collectibles section for a down-on-its-luck project car. While it’s safe to assume most hobbyists know there’s potential gold to be struck in these… more»

Reader Find: 1951 A40 Austin Sports

From Fred H – I attended the monthly Saturday coffee of the Boise Idaho British Car Club in August and announced I had sold my MG and was looking for a new project. I was directed to a visitor… more»

Alpines, Tigers, And Donkeys! Oh My!

The Sunbeam Alpine may not be the most desirable LBC amongst enthusiasts, but the V8 equipped Tiger is a different story! Well, if you have your sights set on a Tiger, or even its little brother, there is a… more»

Cold As Ice: 1983 Renault Fuego Turbo

A few years ago, I stumbled across a very complete Renault Fuego Turbo in a long-forgotten salvage yard. It’s still there today, behind a 1980s Camry and alongside a fence that houses a dog run, complete with requisite junkyard… more»

Join The Parade: 1957 Goliath Estate

So, the other day I spotted a 1957 Goliath listed on craigslist right here in my neck of the woods. It looked interesting so I gave the owner a call. Unfortunately, they were asking $2,500 for this oddball project…. more»

The Underdog: Two 1968 AMC Javelins

I’ve always been the type to cheer for the underdog. There’s nothing better than seeing the weaker competitor rise to the challenge and conquer the superior force. Maybe that’s why I’ve always had a soft spot for the AMC… more»

13,600 Miles: 1957 Chevrolet 2-Door

There are some cars that need no introduction, and the 1957 Chevrolet is one of them. It’s an icon, and if there were trademarks associated with the design, they have been stolen and used without permission over and over… more»

Six Wheeled Party Bus: 1969 Alvis FV620 Stalwart

Remember the Alvis we recently featured, well we have another Alvis for you! Alvis continued making commercial and military vehicles after automobile production ended. One of the vehicles that was quite successful with the British Army was the 6-wheeled… more»

I suspect it is safe to say that for any of us who describe ourselves as brand aficionados, there’s always that one car or marque that temps us to leave our familiar and friendly automotive allegiances. Although I love… more»

Possible WS6: 1978 Pontiac Trans Am

Admittedly, I don’t know much about the second generation Firebird. They just have never really excited me that much. I knew they were considered the last of the true muscle cars by many enthusiasts and that one starred in… more»

Pony Project: 1967 Camaro RS/SS

After traversing Oregon in our little white Mustang, I became a Pony car believer. I have always had an appreciation for Pony cars, but I had no idea just how awesome they could be. I have always leaned more… more»

Chicken Coop Find: Standard Vanguard Sportsman
