No, Not The Band: This 1948 REO Speed Wagon Is Packing A 12V Cummins Swap And Could Be Yours!

Ebay Find: The Nicest Fullsize 1983 Cherokee In Existence – Mint Is An Understatement!

We love the Full-Sized Jeep platform here. J-trucks, Cherokees, Wagoneers, and M-715 military trucks all sit well with us. There’s just one problem with them, as far as we’re concerned:...

Is This 1982 Dodge Charger The Shelby-Backed Drag Racing Prototype? There’s A Blower, Unique Parts, And A Questionable Past

Chrysler’s weaponizing of the otherwise craptastic L-body platform with the help of the famous Texan chicken farmer is the stuff of legends: after relegating rear-drive to the overstuffed Fifth...

Question Of The Day: Is This 1977 Mustang Project Worth Completing Or Not? You Tell Us!

No matter how anyone, even Ford themselves, spins it, the Mustang II is still the bastard child nobody speaks about. It was a sales success, had a great front suspension design, and once Ford...

This Cream Puff Of A 1965 Buick Skylark Is Packing Grand National Power Under That Hood

There is something about a Buick muscle car that I like. The styling is toned down compared to a GTO or a Chevelle, because Buick still had to appeal to buyer who thought that they were above...

Ebay Find: This 1973 AMC Matador Is The Perfect Big-Blocked Plain Brown Box

We’ve looked at plenty of AMC products here at BangShift, but if there is one model that we don’t pay much attention to, it’s the Matador. Unless you are a die-hard fan of Adam...

Ebay Find: We’d Take This 1968 Volvo 122 Trar Over Any Subaru

Subaru might have the all-wheel-drive station wagon market pretty much cornered anymore, but unless you’ve got a hot Impreza WRX/STi wagon we don’t understand the desire for them. They...

Best Of 2015: This First-Gen Durango Is Hiding A Surprise Under The Hood, And It’s The Last Thing You’d Expect

When Mike Brooks sent me an eBay link to me, I opened it up and didn’t think much about it. Keep in mind, I’d been awake maybe five minutes and was still not sure on which planet I was...

Ebay Find: Four Harley-Davidson Engines Connected By A Jeep Could Be Yours!

There are easier ways to utilize eight cylinders for the single goal of making a Jeep tub haul the mail, but having the visual appeal of four Harley-Davidson Evolution running together through a...

Ebay Find: A Rear-Engined 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser – Sorry, Kids, We’re Going To Wally World By Ourselves!

The beauty of owning a station wagon lies in the cargo area In the back. It is quite useful for carrying all sorts of cargo: Lumber, groceries, brats who sit in the rearward-facing seats and flip off...

Myth BUSTED: Here’s the Deal On That Evel Knievel Trike, Straight From His Son, Kelly Knievel And The History Books

Yesterday, Lohnes posted the story on the drag bike that showed up on eBay, claiming to be the original property of Evel Knievel. As you may remember, I trust that dude the way I’d trust a cop...

This 1966 Mercury Marauder S-55 Has A Q-Code 428, A Perfect Interior, And Is Pretty Stinkin’ Rare

Ebay Find: 1971 Shala Vette – A Lot Of Questions Wrapped Up In A 7/8ths Scale Corvette

Squint hard enough, and it looks like someone shrunk a Baldwin-Motion Corvette to almost comedic proportions. Look inside, and it’s Volkswagen architecture shines through, and sure enough there...
