Rare 1976 Land Rover Lightweight

The combination of being rugged and somewhat lightweight was the goal of the British Military in the early 1960s when they modified the short-wheelbase Series IIA Land Rover to be light enough for transport by helicopter. This 1976 Land… more»

Sisley Edition: 1991 Fiat Panda 4×4 Five-Speed

My wife recently hiked the Mont Blanc Trail through the Alps, starting in Italy. The route is just over 100 miles through one of the most beautiful areas on the planet and I can imagine a car like this… more»

1968 Jeepster Commando Station Wagon V6

Soft top or hard top: that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous roof leakage, or… just go with a hard top. To paraphrase Shakespeare. I believe this color… more»

Trade For ATV? 1968 Kaiser Jeep M715

I can’t imagine wanting to trade this 1968 Kaiser Jeep M715 for an ATV, but that’s what the seller says in their listing. They’re really interesting trucks and if they saw duty in Vietnam, they may have had any… more»

Turbo Diesel/5-Speed: 1990 Dodge Ram 4×4 Pickup

This 1990 Dodge Ram 4×4 has an undeniable presence, from its physical size to its striking fresh paint. It seems to be in good mechanical health, featuring a Turbo Diesel that guarantees impressive performance in all circumstances. The new… more»

1967 Dodge W200 Sweptline Short Bed 4×4

I wasn’t aware that Dodge offered a W200 in a short bed pickup in this era and can’t find any information about them, even on brochures that only list a regular long bed for 4×4 3/4-ton pickups. Maybe one… more»

1996 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab Diesel 5-Speed

This is a big truck. End of story. Tune in next week and… Isn’t it funny how vintage crew cab pickups seem so much bigger than the “normal” quad or crew cab trucks sold today? This 1996 Ford F-350… more»

Never Seen Snow? 1973 Jeep Commando 4×4

I’m a bit confused at the seller’s line about this 1973 Jeep Commando never having seen snow, since it literally has a snow plow on the front of it. A snow plow that isn’t shown in any of the… more»

53K-Mile 1984 Dodge Ramcharger Prospector 4×4

Dodge reportedly used 438 square feet of “galvanized steel” (that really makes it sound tough!) in the 1984 Dodge Ramcharger, more than in the full-sized Ford Bronco or full-sized Chevrolet Blazer. They gave buyers a five-year or 100,000-mile rust-through… more»

Dentside 4×4: 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger

While technically falling just outside the era of being an actual Highboy, this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger 4×4 appears to have a bit of a lift on it. Round headlights went away for the 1979 model year, at least… more»

SWB Stick-Shift 4×4: 1972 Chevrolet K10 Pickup

Heavy rust handicaps this otherwise desirable Chevy pickup. The 1972 Chevrolet K10 in Fountain Green, Utah offers a sporty configuration:  short wheelbase, four-wheel drive, V8 engine, and manual transmission. Extend your praise and prayers to at least seven bidders,… more»

Bargain? 1966 International Scout 800 Sportop

As Hagerty’s most valuable ’66 Scout model, this Sportop appears to have been used as a plow truck. The seller says they’ve owned it 26, which I’m assuming means 26 years, and they aren’t using it anymore. This 1966… more»

28K Miles: 1990 Dodge Power Ram 150 4×4

“Nearly museum quality” is how the seller describes this retired-veteran-owned 1990 Dodge Power Ram 150 4×4 pickup, and with just 27,995 miles on the odometer, they could be right. There is one disclaimer: they say that due to 1990s… more»

V6 Five-Speed: 1986 Jeep Comanche X 4×4

I’m a big fan of small pickups and this 1986 Jeep Comanche X 4×4 checks a lot of boxes for me. First, it appears to be rust-free, it’s a 4×4, and it has a five-speed manual, the trifecta of… more»

17K-Mile Barn Find: 1993 Dodge Dakota Sport 4×4

Looking appropriately Barn Find’y, the seller lists this 1993 Dodge Dakota Sport 4×4 pickup as an actual barn find. That’s all they say about it, their description doesn’t give any ownership history, although clicking on the vehicle history report… more»

Vietnam Era Ammunition Vehicle: 1962 Dodge M37

Most of us have a dream garage, or at least a master wish list of vehicles we’d like to own. Two of mine would be a Kaiser Jeep M715 and another military truck like this 1962 Dodge M37. There’s… more»
