1950-1975
The Saab 96 marked the ultimate development of the initial aerospace-inspired and streamlined Ur-SAAB design. True to Saab’s tradition, the 96 remained in production well beyond the introduction of its intended successor, the 99. In fact, production of the 96 extended all the way to 1980, however they never built a convertible-baja-pickup version of the […]
Do you like doors? Like, really like doors. Then we’ve got a treat for you, a real symphony of doors and windows and door knobs and rows of seats that’ll take months to vacuum all of the kids detritus out of the interior. Which would you prefer — a 1968 Oldsmobile Toronado offered for $12,500 […]
Imagine you are in a situation where a 70s Corolla wasn’t cheap enough for your driving needs. Imagine you needed a car that was cheaper, more fuel efficient, more manual, less options, less stuff to go wrong…and you might assume you had nowhere to go. But you’d be wrong, because Toyota sold a car in […]
When you see a Beetle with a giant engine cover sticking out the back, you have to assume it is covering some made V8 or a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine taken from a hot hatch…but you wouldn’t expect a power downgrade. NO. Nobody would expect an industrial diesel from a piece of farm equipment with 39 […]
What is the weirdest thing on the internet? Okay, don’t answer that question…for the love of all things, please. What I meant to ask is; What is the weirdest car for sale on the internet? Yes. That is a much safer question to ask and I’d posit that it is a 6-wheeled Buick that spews […]
What do you get when you combine a 258 cubic inch inline-6 with an automatic transmission inside of a 2-door coupe covered in a vinyl top? Something that will be stored in the garage and kept safe for the elements for 50 years before it is sold in the public for a small amount of […]
This next car had me do a double take. And then check to see if it was a scam. How is it possible that a custom car built by legendary George Barris could possibly sell for less than a new Honda Civic? Maybe a really crusty Barris custom that needs total restoration built for his […]
I hope this next vehicle isn’t an ex-Burning Man car. There isn’t enough Lysol on the planet to remove the funk of a week of swinger-burner hippies from the cloth inside this long wheelbase camper. But this car is so cool that I might skip the hazmat suit for the experience and just enjoy the […]
Happy Thursday to everyone out there in cyberspace — up next is a customized 1953 Ford 2-door Crestline Victoria hardtop. It’s had quite a bit of work done, including a 350 Chevy engine swap with a mild cam, a Turbo 350 transmission, airbags (for that cool lowered look when parked) and a trunk-mounted air compressor […]
Today, we’ve unearthed a true gem – a 1992 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 short bed, a living relic from the heyday of truck design and innovation. This ’92 Silverado stands as a prime example of Chevrolet’s craftsmanship during that era, boasting a timeless design that’s now considered iconic. With its muscular stance, classic two-tone paint job, […]
