Maybe I’m jaded…or maybe I’ve seen it all, but when I see a 2JZ swapped Mercedes-Benz wagon, I think to myself — I’ve seen this car before…and while we here at DT have published our share (and everybody elses share too) of 2JZ (yo!) equipped Benzes, this particular car appears new to DT..but there must […]
The 3rd generation (internally called A60) Celica was the final rear-drive chassis to use Toyota’s Celica name. The next generation used a transverse front-drive setup that has become a de facto standard for economy cars, but up through 1985 you could get a Celica from the factory with a longintudinal engine and right wheel drive…and […]
The number of vehicles with swapped small block Chevy V8s is comical, to the point that they aren’t really even that “special” anymore, but it makes sense because Chevy build a billion of their small blocks in every manner of vehicle from the Corvette to airport tugs. But what is even funnier is that Toyota’s […]
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, a really long time ago, there was a parallel universe where bearded Spocks ran amok.

I had it for a minute…and then I lost it. I swear I understood why someone built this car…YES, got it again…nope…gone, lost, kaput. This is such an interesting combination of Supra off-roading capability mixed with Jeep speed and JC Whitney style that I haven’t seen in a long time…or ever. Find this 1997 Jeep Wrangler […]
The classic 80’s Toyota Pickup is one of those cars you usually see covered in ladders or lawn equipment, because it is a workhorse. It may be slow and ugly, but it is reliable, rugged, and the choice of vehicle for impromptu militias around the globe. However, it is a light vehicle in stock configuration […]
Time to wipe all history of the previously featured V6 powered MX-5 from your mind and start fresh like a Hillary Clinton e-mail server. This next car combines the gorgeous lines of the Malcolm Sayer & Doug Thorpe designed coupé (that is pronounced coop-A) with the silky smoothness and rock solid reliability of a Toyota […]
