A Box Full Of Awesomeness
/

comments
A Postman came a-knockin’ one summer day, and he brought with him a box with much bountiful content, sent from far overseas. Florida, to be precise. But what could be in a package from FLA that I could possibly want? Well, a glance overhead at the gathered stormclouds and a rapidly blurring horizon sowed…

Which Ford Tempo is right for you?
/
/
comments
That is, of course, the ages-old question for gearheads, no? We’ve all pondered which segment-bridging 1980s U.S. economy car we’d most like to spend a few dollars on and the answer, I think we can all agree, is the Ford Tempo. Built as an entry-level family car to bridge a gap between the penalty box…

Just Because You Can Do Something Doesn't Mean You Should

Hey guys, were you aware that the Dodge Challenger and Ye Olde Plymouth Superbird come from (roughly, sorta, not really) the SAME COMPANY? Did you know that? Isn’t that cool? Gee, if only there were a way to celebrate these two muscle cars’ (not really) shared heritage? What could we do to show off some sort…

For Sale: a Trio of Coupes

While Volvo’s 200 Series is respected by the lunatic fringe cultured car enthusiasts, most of that love is directed toward the 240 Turbo. My love, on the other hand, tends to go to the black sheep of the family: the 262C. In my never-ending quest to find a 262C with a manual transmission, I came across an unusual…

Found on Craigslist: Citroën Ute
/
/
comments
There are several things that make my heart flutter: Citroëns, utes, and one-off cars. I think I just found the Holy Grail. Hoons, I present to you, this inexplicable beast. My taste in cars is admittedly a bit perverse, and this… thing is something else entirely. Ute conversions are certainly nothing new, though it’s not often that one…

For Sale: Chrysler TC by Maserati

/
comments
My taste in cars is… questionable, at best. By that, I mean that I should probably be tied up and thrown into the loony bin. I have a weakness for turbo Mopar goodness, be it the mighty GLHS, or your aunt’s Sundance RS. At the top of this mountain of ill-conceived and badly-built Americana is…

For once, a cheap Early Bronco
/
/
comments
Broncos made from 1966-1977 are the Hot Girl at The Party of classic 4x4s. People go crazy for them, bend over backwards, jump through hoops, pay through the nose, and several other cliches just to have one in their possession. Once acquired, they learn Early Broncos offer few advantages over their half-price competitors (Jeeps, Scouts…

For Sale: Citation X-11
/
/
comments
First of all, these still exist? Second, where do I sign way my soul? The Citation is a largely forgotten car from the early 1980s, when American car companies were still stuck in the Malaise era. For those of you who don’t know, the X-11 package packs a 2.8 liter V6 pumping out an amazing 135 horsepower,…

For Sale: Ford Mustang II – The King of Kings
/

comments
As I’ve mentioned previously, Malaise is my specialty. What I particularly like are the tape-and-stripe packages, especially those with a mascot. Just look at that snake. If this car doesn’t remind of the disco era, I don’t know what will.

Mini with MINI parts is a bad idea

comments
Worst. Retromod. EVER! And what’s worse is that it comes from my home country. I don’t feel so bad knowing that we have recently been showcasing some amazing horrific U.S. made custom cars, but this one really bothers me. I guess crack is available everywhere. What really grinds my gears is the fact that they…
