When you buy a classic car, you rarely purchase it as a daily driver. You might take it to the occasional car show or out for a weekend drive, but it might otherwise sit covered in your garage, where it can remain in excellent condition.  However, some people purchase classic cars with the desire to […]

Well, I finally caved to the pressures of social media and bought a nearly one hundred-year-old car.  My friends probably think I died, but no, I just spend all my time trying to build another car I can’t afford. You weren’t aware that social media is pressuring men into buying and building ancient cars? Then […]

But owning a vintage car also comes with the responsibility of protecting it against potential risks, such as accidents, theft, or damage.  Vintage cars are more than just modes of transportation –

  Winter mode; a time for projects, cursing, freezing rain, cursing, mistakes, broken knuckles and (did I mention?) cursing. A series of “hold-my-beer” activities had me working continuously on the Lotus 7 (replica).  Previously, I mentioned that I’d built a top and doors.  Now, it was time to make the foreboding aluminum nose cone.

This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Stepside pickup was acquired by the seller in 2009 and was fitted with a BluePrint 383ci stroker V8 equipped with Holley Terminator X fuel injection in 2022.
