It Came From Craigslist: The Ford Ute We Needed, Not The One We Deserve!
The basic plan for the two major American ute designs was to take the station wagon body, give it the coupe doors and turn the rest of the area into a bed. It’s a solid plan, it’s a cheap...
This Nitrous-Equipped Mustang Went Up In Flames At TX2K16!
It makes you sick to see this happen to a fellow racer, but one of the best ways to bring the realities of the dangers of racing is to see, without a doubt, just how quickly it all can go wrong. This...
Rough Start: What Happens When You Combine A Ford Thunderbird And A Chevrolet Camaro?
The second I saw this 1994 Ford Thunderbird, I couldn’t wait to see the reactions from you guys. Seriously…we all have heard Lohnes’ take on how much he seriously enjoys four-seat...
Unhinged: Thanks For The Letdown, Buick. Appreciate That.
Our jaws hit the floor. The Internet lit up. Facebook had it in the “trending topics” section almost immediately, and every auto journalist had to pick their jaws up off of the floor. The...
This 1975 Bricklin SV-1 Is Eye-Searingly Green And As Clean As They Come!
When Malcom Bricklin was putting together the idea for the SV-1 (Safety Vehicle-1), he might have had safety in mind but in a strange way, he was building a kind of muscle car: he wanted the...
This Pro Street Ford Maverick Is Everything A Car Needs…It’s Black, Nasty And Stout!
I’m just a sucker for a fast black Ford. Can’t explain it any other way than that. It all started with a spray-bombed 1973 Mercury Comet GT and ever since then, I equate a flat-black Ford...
Classic YouTube: 1986 Chevrolet IROC Z28 Camaro Advertisement
How were automotive jingles still a thing in 1986? If there is one advertising trend we are glad has gone the way of the dodo, it’s singsongy lyrics to a pop music riff, and that’s what...
Rough Start: A Sense Of Deja Vu With A 1978 Pontiac LeMans, But Cheap Entry Into Racing Could Be Yours!
Didn’t I just find one of these? Yes, I did, and I had to do a double-take and compare the eBay ad from a couple of days ago versus the Craigslist ad that I just found this afternoon....
Weapons-Grade: The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Continues The Horsepower War!
If you haven’t seen by now, one of the two big, bad Larrys of the modern Camaro has finally broken cover: the ZL1, the all-out monster, is set for a fall 2016 sell date and make no mistake, the...
Work Truck Greatness! This 1973 Ford F350 Is The Parts Hauler Dream!
Brutal, basic and useful…that’s how I like my trucks. Give me a vinyl bench seat that isn’t going to kill my spine, an engine that has mountains of torque, a manual trans, and a...
Is Basic Better? This 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Is As Simple As It Got: Six-Cylinder, Three-On-The-Tree And Somehow Has Survived Just Fine!
For someone of my age, seeing a 1970 Chevrolet vehicle without Super Sport stripes and badges everywhere is almost refreshing, since more exist now than the total of what rolled off of the assembly...
This Chrysler Town and Country Wagon Is Beautiful, But Is Hiding A Dark Secret!
We love our large wagons around here, and this 1977 Chrysler Town and Country would fit the bill nicely. Black, with dark red interior and more room that some of the hotels that I’ve stayed at...
Rough Start: Going Dirt Cheap With A 5.0-Powered 1991 Ford Thunderbird!
Lohnes hates them, but I love ’em. The MN-12 era Ford Thunderbirds and Mercury Cougars are dirt-cheap platforms that have quite a bit going for them: they are roomier than a comparable Mustang,...
Craigslist Find: This 1973 Dodge Charger Is Packing A V-10 And Attitude For Days
Thank you, Joe Haber, for thinking of me when you sent the link to this 1973 Dodge Charger in all of it’s monochromatic black glory. Joe knows that I have a weakness for cars that look like...
