eBay Find: Is This 2010 Holden VE SS Ute The Only U.S. Legal One?
This is Australia’s trump card over the United States, right here. They get utes…you know, a car/truck combo that is a useable size, and can be ordered with decent six cylinders, V8s,...
Rough Start: A Fast Track To Pro Luxury In The Form Of A Five-Speed Lincoln Town Car
The pictures of the car themselves aren’t the best, so let’s start off with the real reason a cheap 1988 Lincoln Town Car should even be here: three pedals and a shifter through the...
Beauty And A Beater: Is There A Better Combination Than A Junkyard LS Engine In A Ford Fairmont?

What Dreams Are Made Of: This 1960 Ford Starliner Is Drop Dead Gorgeous!
The words I uttered when I saw this 1960 Ford Starliner can’t be printed here. Long, low, black and red, and gorgeous from just about every angle in the pictures provided, this qualifies as one...
Meet “Turtle”, A Vauxhall Victor With A Blown, Methanol-Swilling Four Banger That Cranks Out V8 Power!
The other day we showed you a Holden Ute burnout machine that was powered by a blown Holden inline-six, and admired the fact that being two cylinders down compared to the normal tire-fryer...
eBay Find: The 1972 Ford Ranchero From “Leepu And Pitbull” – If You Wondered Who Would Replace Barris, Wonder No More
One of my more recent automotive kicks is to take a 1972-79 Ford Ranchero and build it up into a muscle ute. Not like a hot rod, but like a badass shop truck: clean, restoration look body, beefed up...
Check This Out: A 1,300 Horsepower Twin-Turbo Restomod 1974 Road Runner
There are only so many cars out there, folks. Sooner or later, desirable cars will all be spoken for and then what? I’ve been railing on for years about the smog-era cars, the Malaise-era...
eBay Find: The One-Year-Only 1975 Plymouth Road Runner – Cop Car Durability And Rarity That Makes Mopar Freaks Weak
Let’s get the complaints out of the way now: Yes, what you are looking at is the 1975-only Plymouth Road Runner. Yes, it is still a B-body, with the underpinnings that debuted in 1971 and the...
This 1960 Plymouth Fury Is Only A Replica Of Richard Petty’s Racer, But Do You Really Care?
That color blue is synonymous with NASCAR royalty. “Petty Blue”, a hurried combination of blue and white that was mixed up by Richard Petty and his brother Maurice to paint a 1959...
Down Under Mopar Muscle: A 9-Second Valiant VG Making Runs At Sydney Dragway!
If you look at the car and see mostly 1968 Dodge Dart, you’re just about right…the Valiant VG was the last U.S. designed Valiant to appear in Australia, and was replaced with the 1971...
