Squarebody Shopping: This 1977 Chevrolet C10 Is Over-The-Top And Well Done
We love our square-body GM trucks around here. How can you not? General Motors might have made some serious false steps along the way, like killing the Fiero when it got good, killing the F-body when...
Rough Start: Here’s How You Go Over The Budget Properly: Big Block Blazer!
It isn’t everyday I choose to bypass the budget part of the Rough Start series. Five thousand dollars should be plenty of coin to find and fix up something that will, at the very least, make...
Properly Done: This 1988 Ford Escort RS Turbo Is How A Quick Small Car Should Be
In the UK, they had the RWD Ford Escort that we all know from rally footage…you know, small little four-banger screamers that could toss their hips out faster than Shakira on a good night with...
Rough Start: The Beast In The Baby Blue Box – 5.0 Fairmont For Sale!
For all of four months, we had a baby-blue Ford Fairmont sedan pretty much like the one you see here doing family duty. That car…SUCKED. Sorry, no way around the facts, that car sucked out...
Pro Commuter: This 1980 AMC Spirit AMX Just Needs A Few Minor Touches To Be Great
Pro Commuter, the idea of mine that says that the daily driver does not have to openly suck out loud, is still a thing in my head. At least today’s flare-up has some merit instead of being some...
Money No Object: A 1960 Plymouth Fury That’s Been Done To The Nines
Last year I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a finned Mopar for the first time. Sadly, the 1960 Chrysler Newport was well beyond my scope or ability…the engine was locked,...
How Would You Build It: 1977 Dodge Ramcharger SE
I love picking your brains on build ideas, readers. I’m stuck in my ways…I see a certain vehicle, I have a build plan ready to go. Maybe two if I’ve thought about it. But that...
Rough Start: Another Chance At The Slope-Nosed Laguna NASCAR Clone
Good mid-1970s A-bodies aren’t going to be cheap much longer. Granted, the market has been slow to pick up on the Colonnade-era cars, but mark my words, the second that California bumps their...
Money No Object: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Greenbriar – Super Sports Wagon, Yes. Antarctic Blue? Close Enough.
You remember the scene from National Lampoon’s Vacation, don’t you? Clark and Rusty Griswold on the dealership lot, trying to figure out where Clark’s “Antartic Blue Super...
FCA Has Brought Back The Warlock – Needs More Hemi And More Stakebed!
Call me a little bit suspicious if you must, but there is something quite familiar about the newly introduced 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock. Obviously, the nameplate is a surprise…the Warlock...
Rough Start: This 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Is Done – LS-Swapped And Turn-Key!
Calm down, anti-LS brigade, it’s not worth the fight today. Cheap-car hunting and GM’s current golden child of an engine normally don’t go hand-in-hand unless you have no problem...
Tow Pig Greatness? This Phantom Dodge Crew Cab Shortbed Dually Just Needs A Fifth Wheel!
So the other day Chad brought up the question of what kind of tow rig you would pick if you were transported back to 1975. It’s a good question, though you could realistically expand the years...
Rough Start: This 1973 Ford Galaxie 500 Looks Sinister! The Evil Cop Cruiser?
You are a forward person. You don’t have the time to screw around or to deal with anyone’s drama. You want to be in and out, work completed, with no hassle. You don’t want to be...
Suggested Serving: This 1971 Datsun 521 Flies In The Face Of The Giant Pickup
Small, compact, nimble, useful, competent, efficient…this little 1971 Datsun 521 has a lot going for it before you get into it’s classic Japanese appearance or it’s modest...
