Morning Symphony: Light A Fire Under Your Butt And Get Going!
I am the world’s worst about getting out of bed when it’s time to wake up. Doesn’t matter what time the alarm is set, doesn’t matter what I’ve got planned to get done...
Get Them Out Of The Junkyard! This Dodge Stepside Drove Out Of The Spot It Sat In For Thirteen Years!
Something funny that I’ve noticed in the many groups, forums and other venues I tend to frequent: when it comes to the subject of junkyard rescues, it’s amazing just how little actually...
BangShift Test Drive: 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 – No Crowds Were Harmed In The Testing Of This Vehicle
It’s interesting to think that we live in a time where 550 horsepower is actually middle-of-the-road, borderline average grunt for a factory offering. Ever since the second Supercar War turned...
The “WTF?” Files: Who Built A Diesel Dodge Aspen Wagon Using A Chrysler-Nissan Mill?
Just when I think I’ve heard about every possible thing that could be done with a Chrysler F/M/J platform, something even weirder comes around and I have to file away another bit of trivia in...
Self-Sufficient: Who Needs An RV When Your 1975 Oldsmobile Omega Has A Tent?
True story: the one time I went out to Bonneville, back in 2009, I had nowhere to sleep. And I was fine with that. I didn’t get a hotel room, didn’t know anyone who had a room, but that...
Rough Start: The C4 Corvette Of Your Cheap 1980s Nostalgia Dreams!
A few days ago, Chad put up a question in the form of a C4 Corvette that was very well built, clean as a whistle, and in need of a bit of minor maintenance that the owner wasn’t willing to...
Saying Goodbye To The Ford Falcon At Bathurst The Right Way…Racing It With A Mustang And A GT!
Put the final nail in the coffin, the Ford Falcon is utterly dead as a new car goes in Australia. When the folks at Bathurst are saying their final farewells to a car that has deeper roots than it...
Project Candidate: How Would You Finish Up This Straight-Axle 1971 Ford Maverick?
Just my personal opinion: not many cars built after 1965 can, or should, be made into gassers. For the most part, it just doesn’t look right. You hear “gasser”, and you see Willys...
Grand Theft Boogie Van? The “Wild Cherry” Chevy Van Is Now Embroiled In Legal Issues!
When we got tipped off to the rescue and revival of the “Wild Cherry” van, a 1975 Chevrolet that had a small bit part in the movie “Van Nuys Blvd.” back in 1979, we were over...
Morning Symphony: One Overkill Buick Riviera And One Amazed Passenger
If I have to pick an old school Buick, one that is older than me, I’m narrowed down to a couple of good choices. It’s pretty hard to beat the Buick Skylark, Gran Sport and GSX, it really...
Fuselage Freight Hauler: A 1970 Plymouth Sport Suburban That Can Double As A Motel Room!
1970 was without a doubt Chrysler Corporation’s year. Just look at the lineup: Dart, Duster, Charger, Coronet, ‘Cuda and Challenger, New Yorker, Three Hundred, and unless you’re...
Rough Start: A Smooth Late B-Body Wagon With An LT-1 Swapped In. Nice!
I’m in a bit of a longroof mood today. I daily drive a sedan, have plenty of trucks and SUVs to deal with locally, and every now and then I hop into a vintage ponycar to tool around in when the...
Rough Start: Two For One Special! A Pair Of Big Pontiacs Are Up For Grabs!
If there is ever a way to get my wife on-board with any kind of purchase, the key is to make sure that the deal has some kind of value to it that can’t be denied. It explains the last two...
The Ford P.O.S. Is For Sale! The 1987 LTD Crown Victoria From “Men In Black” Could Be Yours!
One of the strangest vehicle obsessions that I see involves the Ford LTD from the original Men In Black. A cheeze-ball movie about aliens and every gearhead in the world zeroed in on the 1987 Ford...
