In the early 1990s Ford’s MN12 Thunderbird was sold around the USA as a modern American personal coupe, trading the boxy excess of the 1980s for a slippery, wind-tunnel-shaped body and a chassis that quietly prioritized ride quality and smooth acceleration over muscle car theatrics. These cars shared their architecture with the Lincoln Mark VIII […]
The next feature might not run/drive at the moment, but it bleeds early 90s mini-truck energy like nothing else on the plante. Feast your eyes on the Miami Vice Depot graphics and the staggered tire setup, I dig it!! It’s 2-wheel-drive, fuel-injected, simple as a hammer, and the vehicle that defined an era of men […]
If you grew up in the 80s reading Car & Track or Road & Driver, you might have thought that in the future we would be driving aerodynamic jelly beans on wheels. Today, we’ve got a chance for you to live that future, or at least sit in your garage pretending that you are in […]
I’m not sure if the world needed an El Camino’d Ford Econoline van…but here we are. This is an E350 van with a 90s pickup bed, sitting on a custom dually frame, powered by a 351 Windsor, and basically engineered to confuse every living creature that sees it. It’s not a project either, it’s turnkey, […]
This next feature is a 1955 Ford F-100 that somebody in the early 90s looked at and decided it needed a double cab and a working hot tub in the bed. It’s equal parts classic pickup and rolling bad idea…but not rolling enough for the seller to take a single, good, unobstructed photo. If you’re […]
The Ford Torino 500 sat right in the middle of Ford’s early 1970s muscle car strategy, bridging the gap between family-sized intermediates and full-on performance machines with a pony badge on the side. Introduced as Ford pivoted away from the Fairlane name, the Torino grew larger, heavier, and more aggressive, reflecting both NASCAR influence and […]
Ford never built the future it promised in the early ’90s, but it did build the Probe, a space-pod hatchback born from the short-lived Ford–Mazda partnership and intended (in one of Ford’s bolder misreads of its own fan base) to replace the Mustang. Predictably, Mustang people rioted and the Probe was reassigned to low cost […]
The mid-90s Mercury Sable wagon is one of those secretly brilliant machines that only true connoisseurs appreciate, and this 1995 GS example (in glorious blue-over-blue) is absolutely DT’s Hunsbloger approved. Built on the same groundbreaking Taurus platform that defined the American family car for a decade, the Sable wagon delivered wind-tunnel styling, an indestructible 3.0L […]
Let’s hope this is a real ad and not yet another scammers’ baitstang, because this 1965 Ford Mustang coupe has all the right ingredients for someone hunting an honest, dry California classic. It’s a C-code car with the 289 V8 and a 3-speed manual, built in San Jose and reportedly living its entire life in […]
Today’s next feature is the kind of sunbaked tragedy that every Craigslist addict secretly hopes to rescue before common sense kicks in. It’s a V6, manual-shift car that’s been sitting since 2019, wearing a uniform coat of California dust like it’s trying to camouflage itself as a cement sculpture. The seller says it’ll cough to […]
