And you can always grind some paint off if it needs more rust, don’t you worry.

For you, maybe. But I base my horsepower measurements on Falabella horses, which only grow to be about 16 inches tall.

The Austin Healey “Bugeye” Sprite sports car from the ‘50s could be had with an optional child seat that straddled the transmission tunnel and was held in place with friction and not much else. Looks fun, but terrifyingly unsafe!

A Ford Ecoboost four-cylinder should fit the bolt pattern of the Miata transmission if... you know... you wanted to make it even more of a hodgepodge.

Those later Scimitars are some of my favorite underdog sports cars. The body was indeed designed by Michelotti, but he actually died before he finished it, so the design had to be finished by someone else, and they took every single cost cutting measure they could. That’s why the bodywork looks like a hodgepodge of…

Wow, Otto can already pixelate his hands!? It took me years to master that! If Otto can do it already, then I see a bright future for your boy. Also the Changli is amazing... ly slow. But also great.

Yeah, I used to use a car cover when I was daily driving my ‘66 Thunderbird, but a combination of inconvenience and the fact that no amount of tie-downs would stop the wind from blowing it off made me question whether it was worth it. Then it froze to the car one morning and got all torn up, and I haven’t used a car…

My grandpa made a pair of these for his Volkswagen Beetle back in the 1960's. They were held in place simply by rolling up the windows a little bit. He used them often on a giant road trip he took in that Beetle, where he saved money by sleeping in the car instead of hotels. The screen windows let in fresh air to keep…

“So, what do you want me to tell you about this Frankensteinic resurrected Landie?”

3.141592 to the power of however many other stripes are on the vehicle. 

This is fantastic and all, but... For the same price, you could’ve gotten this:

I freaking NEED that, lol!

Okay, now hear me out...

I believe that’s the clear coat fading. It’s a common issue among older cars that have seen a lot of sunlight, since the UV rays are what damage the clear coat I believe. I think it might also have something to do with the quality of the paint job/clear coat, since it seems to be most common on somewhat…

Here is my survivor ‘66 Thunderbird which I named Phoebe. I bought her as my first car a couple years ago and have been driving/fixing her ever since. I daily drove her for about a year before the engine started running very poorly, necessitating a full rebuild. To be fair, by then it had well over 96,000 miles on it,…

I nominate Great Wall Coolbear:

Wrong, I’d love to drive a car called a Kitten. (don’t judge me) Cute names for cute cars work.

Something about the idea of a safari Bentley has me oddly fascinated...

I’m hoping that enthusiasm for these old pieces of history will increase when their values start dropping so they become more affordable... At the moment, it’s hard to find a good one for less than 15 grand, but I’ve hung around with some of the old guys who keep these things running, and they’re a great community.…
