The expression “project car” conjures up images of hard work and some bucks to provide material and parts, but most of my experience with project cars has been limited to getting an old car back on the road. Maybe some paint/body repair. Perhaps an engine rebuild. But this next car. I’m not sure if it […]
We got so many submissions for Loony Labor Day that we are going to need to turn it into a Loony Labor Week celebration of the nutty. You guys must really like strange cars. Oops, projecting again. My therapist has warned me about that. Haha. Jokes on you, I don’t have a therapist, although I […]
The Triumph TR7 was born at the wrong time. It was born in a time when car designs were saddled with huge front/rear bumpers and silly ride height, not to mention complicated Rube Goldberg inspired carburmafactor and all sorts if ill thought out ideas. At least today’s TR7 should survive for a few years because […]
I was eating some kind of meal replacement bar the other day that I found in my pantry and I mentioned to someone “this isn’t bad, but it is sorta like eating something created by someone who had never eaten, but only read about it”. It isn’t an experience that I would recommend, but it […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a little sportscar built for a long time (1962-1980) on Triumph Herald sedan chassis and powered by a small 4-cylinder engine. The Spitfire might be small in stature, but it is large in character and deserves a spot in any car guy’s garage. Find this 1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk4 offered for […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: Here we have a DT priced Triumph Spitfire with a small block Chevy. The owner did not quite finish the project, possibly remembering his own mortality at the last minute. Yikes, that is indeed a terrifying custom, but I have to say that […]
The cheap Mustang we featured was a bit on the rusty side for my particular preferences, I’d rather not spend the next 18 months in my garage wearing a mask…oh…well…yeah…I guess that maybe it wouldn’t be much of a change. Anyway, I found something that isn’t quite as rusty, but is super cheap. Find this […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a tiny, lightweight, two-seat sports car assembled in Coventry, UK from 1962-1980. A competitor of the Austin-Healey Sprite & MG Midget, the Spitfire was only available with a small inline four cylinder engine…but today’s example has been given an injection of Buick V6 power. Find this 1970 Triumph Spitfire offered for […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: Swapped out one turd of a motor for another. The later 3800’s were warp years better than the 1981 231 carb engine.
