Craigslist Find – 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia
/
/
comments
I have confessed my love for Westfalia vans before, but I’ve always balked at the exorbitant prices they command; even 20-year old Westies can go for well over $20,000. This time, I’ve found a Westy that’s much more reasonably priced, and in good shape. Take a look and see if you agree.

There is a small gravel lot alongside the main road I take to work every day; there are often one or two cars sitting there for sale. Usually, they’re nothing special, but when I saw this great white beast posing for traffic this morning, I knew I was bound to stop and get some pictures.…

For your Fastback Friday enjoyment, I give you one of the best muscle cars of all time: the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. I don’t know about you, but when I think of muscle cars, a few cars immediately come to mind – a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, and a 1967…

In the previous installment, I showed you some of the great Ferraris contained in the Lemay museum. Today, I want to give you a quick tour of the lobby of this fine establishment before we get too far in. As soon as we walked in the door and saw a race car, a motorcycle, and…

Classic Cars Cruise-In at Clearview, WA

Last weekend I was helping some friends of the family get their house ready to sell, hauling gravel and pulling weeds. Really exciting stuff, I know. I decided to take a 10-minute break to get my 55-cent iced tea refill at the Starbucks just a few blocks up the road. This happens to be in…

The 97th running of the Indianapolis 500 at the venerable old Indianapolis Motor Speedway is coming up in just a few short weeks, and with it all the pageantry and parades that typically accompany this classic American race. When I was a kid, the Indy 500 was a big, big deal; the Month of May…

It’s not often that I have the chance to literally sit next to a classic machine and just admire it, but such was my luck on Friday night. After a delicious meal at our favorite local Mexican restaurant (tacos de al pastor are delicious here), I decided to wait outside for the rest of our…

Craigslist Find – 1959 Edsel Ranger

comments
Fresh from the pages of the book A Face Only a Mother Could Love, I present to you the 1959 Edsel Ranger. This short-lived model has become somewhat collectible, given its low production numbers and, let’s say, unique styling. This particular car, the 2-door hardtop, was limited to just 5,966 original examples. Let’s see what the seller…

In my previous post, I showed you around the parking lot of the LeMay museum in Tacoma, WA. That day, it just happened to be full of Ferraris of different kinds. I also mentioned that, while I appreciate them, I know little about these Italian thoroughbreds; several of you were kind enough to educate me in the comments,…
