Do you know what the typical Volkswagen Rabbit owner wishes he had? A long bed pickup. Because the little Rabbit isn’t great for hauling a bunch of construction debris or making a impromptu hot tub or other things pickups are good at. Volkswagen did make a Caddy truck, but it didn’t have back seats and […]
If you are in the market for a classic pickup truck, you are in for a treat today. This old beauty has the perfect numbers — its’s got a straight six and three on the tree. It isn’t perfect, but it has panoramic windows and style for miles. Find this 1962 Ford Econoline Pickup offered […]
There seems to be an annual tradition in May when I’m bombarded with photos of ridiculous celebrities in ridiculous outfits on just about every form of media out there. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what the Met Gala is or why anyone would be interested in the affairs or attire of the coastal […]
A wise man once said: just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. I’d say that applies to custom chopped pickup trucks, but I’d also posit that just because you did something in poor taste (such as chopping up a car) doesn’t mean the end result is terrible. I will leave it up […]
This next car comes as a tip from Hugh who writes: See a better way to drive something woodie? I would not know about better but I would bet it’s woodier. Yes, indeed this is the woodiest car that you can find for sale on the internet and I think it would make an excellent […]
I’ve owned plenty of cars with dents on the sides, but I’ve never owned a Dentside….which is apparently the name for the era of Ford trucks (1973-1979) where the side had a strong lengthwise “dent” design element. Most Dentsides are pickup trucks, but today we’ve got the predecessor to all of those SUV things that […]
The Ford Courier was a compact pickup offering from Ford that was sold before the introduction of the popular Ranger pickup. The little happy Ford was actually a Mazda B-series pickup, and it was sold all over the world in decent quantities. Most have gone from being lawn care trucks to collectors oddities, but this […]
If you causally mention you have a Volkswagen Caddy, a normal person would assume you had some sort of golf sponsorship…but a not-so-normal person will ohh and ahh for they know how special VW’s front-drive water-cooled leisure activity vehicle (LAV…not kidding…that’s an actual marketing term). Today’s example needs some work before you can cruise around […]
If you don’t know what a Detroit Diesel 8V-92TA is…well…don’t worry, because I’m going to explain it to you. Most modern Class-8 trucks are powered by big inline-6 turbo diesel engines, but there was a time when you could get a V8. And you could get a two-stroke diesel V8. Yeah. With a turbocharger and […]
Value, worth, and price are difficult concepts for most people to grasp. And the worst part is that many people have a mistaken idea that they are the same thing. If you ask a curmudgeon like me about the cars that sell on fancy pants auction sites, I’m gonna tell you that they are usually […]
