Rough Start: How An AMC Fan Can Have Their Cake And Eat It Too With A 1980 AMX!

Craigslist Score: A 1982 AMC Eagle SX/4 That Is Ready To Rock! 390 Power For The Win!

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...

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...

This 1960 Plymouth Fury Is Only A Replica Of Richard Petty’s Racer, But Do You Really Care?

Craigslist Find: We Have Never Felt Sorrier For A Lincoln Town Car Than We Do For This One

Oh, no. This isn’t starting out good at all, is it? This poor, poor Lincoln…it looks like someone answered the question nobody asked, the kind of question that a crowd of people would...

Rough Start: Can A Buick Grand National Come In Under The Budget? If You Are Willing To Work On It, It Can!

The Buick Grand National has come into it’s own as an iconic car. The turbocharged V6 was decent for the time stock, but if you knew your way around a turbocharged engine, you were a god on the...

Rough Start: Taking The Road Less Traveled With A Sweet G-body Grand Prix

For the budget-minded gearhead, GM G-bodies are still a very affordable option and are an excellent car to consider. They offer the best of two worlds: they have the basic old school setup of a...

Question Of The Day: Real Or Fake? You Make The Call On This Mangled Craigslist Mustang

Ok, readers, I need your opinion in regards to what is supposed to be a 2007 Ford Mustang. Am I off of my rocker for thinking that this is a joke and a severely Photoshopped car, or is this a...

Craigslist Find: This 1994 Cadillac Pickup Conversion Could Be Your Sweet-Riding Parts Hauler!

It might actually surprise you to know that I have a soft spot for Northstar-powered Cadillacs of the 1990s and 2000s. I shouldn’t…if that engine isn’t 100% perfect, it’s...

Rough Start: A Lifted, V8 Swapped Ford Explorer, Because The Family Car Shouldn’t Suck

What’s the bane of a young family that has a gearhead? Being reasonable when it comes to the “family car”. Contrary to popular belief, your 1991 Chevy Camaro isn’t going to do...

This Mashup Of A Cummins Dodge And A Volkswagen Camper Van Is Weird, Creepy, And Just A Little Bit Genius

Between 1974-1993, Dodge made a full-size sports utility vehicle, the Ramcharger. It was always two-door, was solid-roofed after 1980 (prior to, the roof and “cap” area was removable) and...

Rough Start: Would You Be Willing To Spend A Couple Grand On A Clean Ford Station Wagon?

We love a good station wagon around here. We might not agree on what makes a good station wagon among at least two of us, but we like them just the same. They have room, they are practical, and...
