Rough Start: 1970½ Ford Falcon – Break Out The Dog Dishes!

Ford in 1970 was a strange place to be. Henry Ford II had punted Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen out of the president role in 1969, and for all but a the last couple weeks of 1970, that position...

Rough Start: 1970 Dodge Challenger – The Tired Old Soul

I could seriously just write, “Someone go save it, now, please.” And I would be satisfied knowing that someone has. I know that there is some serious rot on this 1970 Dodge Challenger, I...

Ford-Faced, GM-Powered: This Homebuilt RV Is Perfect For Chad’s Freak Mobile Home Files!

Rough Start: The Ultimate Winter Beater! A 1966 Plymouth Fury With Blue Oval Bones!

There’s a common theme I’m seeing this week: everybody is putting up their nice rides for the winter. One look outside the window at BangShift Mid-West certainly tells the tale: the yard...

Rough Start: 1986 Pontiac Firebird – The Toys Get Bigger Over The Years!

I’m pretty sure that if I ever jump ship from my current Chrysler situation, I’d move towards an F-body. I’m just not sure which one I’d own. I’d like a 1974-77 Camaro...

Smoking Hot: Five Corvettes At Fire Sale Prices!

I don’t need to know the person who wrote this ad to understand what is going through their mind. The listing and the pictures say it all: five Corvettes – a 1961, a 1964, a 1970, a 1972,...

It’s Grandpa’s Beauty: 1978 Dodge W250 Power Wagon Club Cab

Run, Rabbit, Run: This 1979 VW Rabbit Is A 3.8L Freakshow!

What in the absolute hell is this thing?! I might be a magnet for the weird and strange, but this 1979 VW Rabbit might be the weirdest and strangest thing I’ve come across yet. At first glance,...
