eBay Find: The 1979 Cadimino. Luxury, Meet Utility, Homebuilt Ingenuity, And Open-Air Motoring!

Watch This Dodge Dakota Drag A Volvo Tractor To Bump-Start It After The Starter Goes Out!

We’d be lying if we told you that we know all of the details about what is going on in this video. We do know that the Volvo semi tractor’s starter completely and utterly kicked the...

Don’t Tell Chad: This 1981 Toyota SR5 Dually And It’s Sunraider Fifth Wheel Camper Trailer Are On eBay Right Now!

eBay Find: For The Classy Connoisseur, A 1977 Lincoln Mark V With A Bed!

Coupe utilities don’t get the respect they deserve in America, in our opinion. It doesn’t matter how nice one is, how well taken care of it is, most people view it as the ultimate redneck...

eBay Find: This 1982 Dodge Power Ram 350 Wrecker Isn’t Restored, Just Well-Worn!

When did pickup-based tow trucks disappear? As a kid, I remember seeing Fords, Dodges and GM trucks kitted out with wrecker units, massive push bumpers, and custom painted logos all over the place....

Roadkill! Old Meets New When Harry The Tow Truck Meets Pigpen, The Junkyard GMC!

Work Truck Greatness! This 1973 Ford F350 Is The Parts Hauler Dream!

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...

Top 11: We Rifle Through The Consignment List For Mecum’s Houston Auction For Some Gems!

When I paw through Mecum auctions each month, I always try to stay away from the obvious answers to “Which one would you have?” and go for what could be really interesting, really...

Want To Stand Out On The Trails This Summer? This Chevrolet SSR 4×4 Ought To Do The Trick!

The poor Chevrolet SSR…it tried so hard to be loved. Chevy pulled a page out of Chrysler’s 1990s playbook…specifically the chapter on going from concept car to production in thirty...

Petrolicious Shows Us A Custom Willys Jeep And Trailer That Are Family Heirlooms That Still Get Taken Off-Road To This Day!

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,...
