Where do I start? Flames? Teardrops? White walls? Spinners? Lake pipes? (had to duckduckgo that last one). And are those cop spotlights? WHAT AM I LOOKING AT???!?!??! Why does this car exist and from what galaxy did it travel via wormhole to visit ours? Find this 1991 Ford Festiva offered for $7500 in New Oxford, […]
When someone calls their Corvette a “FlatVette”, you instantly think of the Jerry Palmer and Dave McLellan designed C4 Corvette that is the flattest of all Vettes. However, today’s FlatVette comes from the C3 body style…complete with the swooping fenders and haunches you’d expect from the Stingray. However, today’s Flat comes from under the hood […]
This next car is a strange one. It started life as a second generation Ford Ranger — the compact pickup from Ford that strangely went out of production in 2012 and everybody agreed they wanted a compact pickup, so Ford created the Maverick…whut? Anyway, today’s Ranger isn’t equipped with the original OHC inline-4 or V6 […]
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 […]
The general rule when selling your used car or classic is to start your asking price high and then lower it if you don’t sell. This way you maximize your selling price — start high and then wait for the right buyer or drop and sell. Seems logical. Or you could list the car for […]
One of the more interesting sellers on ebay is a company out of Orange County, CA that deals exclusively with donated cars. His/her username is “justdonated” and we’ve featured their cars before. You might think it is a bunch of busted old Civics and Oldsmobiles…which there are plenty of, but you’d be shocked at how […]
The Ford with a giant THUNDERJET 429 was an amazing piece of history, but if you are going to drive a THUNDERJET, it probably should be in a Thunderbird. The Thunderbird might have been born in 1955 as a lithe competitor to the Corvette…but 4 generations later it was this epic toucan nose styled with […]
Meet the Ford Galaxie XL – not a spaceship (not a Galaxy), but a wild 2-door beast packing a 429 cubic inch ThunderJet V8 engine, with rear sail panels pretending to be a racecar’s fastback roofline. Back when car designers were Picasso with wrenches, they birthed this massive marvel without caring about budgets or repair […]
Do you ever find a car and think: “why do I want this car?” It isn’t a car that’ll be fast, fun, or efficient. And it won’t be something the neighbors appreciate being parked in front of their house or acceptable at the middle school pickup line. However you will have the only car built […]
