1985 Saleen Mustang #16 “Big Wing”
Steve Saleen was a racecar driver before becoming a manufacturer of Ford-based performance cars, just like Carroll Shelby in the ‘60s. Saleen Autosport was formed at Steve Saleen’s dinner table in 1983, with concept drawings for his logo and Mustang-based car sketched on napkins. Saleen then went on to start hand building the very first […]

1984 Alfa Romeo Callaway GTV6 #1
When Alfa Romeo decided they needed to give their GTV-6 some teeth they contacted Reeves Callaway. The result was the Callaway Twin Turbo GTV-6, of which just 32 production versions were built for the 1985 and 1986 model years before the program, along with the GTV-6, was Killed.

Oh no- we love a great Cornbinder too! “This killer Scout lis from the second to last year of production and was born and raised In the ritzy enclave of Paradise Valley, Arizona until I purchased it there from its original owner in January […]
1977 Ford Bronco Ranger
I found this two-owner, original and unrestored ’77 Ranger in California, not far from where it was originally sold at Mid Gal Ford Truck in Fresno- the same dealership that installed A/G and the rear fender flares when it was new. From the factory she had just about everything else, the options list is as […]
1977 Ford Bronco
A few years ago my wife saw an early Bronco driving around In Arizona and loved it. I explained to her how she would hate driving one and, generally, how awful they were compared to what she was used to driving. But, as anybody that is married knows you can indeed lose a one-to- one […]
1974 Yamaha TY80 Trials Bike
When I was around 12 I decided that the go-kart I built wasn’t really cutting it anymore. After all it was only good on the road, and as we all know (and the county Sheriff explained to me a few times) driving a go-kart on the road is illegal, even if you can keep up […]
1974 Ferrari 246GTS Dino Spider
Out from hiding… Many people often walk into my collection and ask “so, what are your favorites?” The simple answer is “they all are!”, after all, who buys cars they don’t love? But when the list gets shortened, invariably a few favorites make the cut. 289 Cobra, 65 GT350, and this car…my 246 GTS Dino. […]
1973 Norton Commando 850 Roadster
My friend Scott bought this first-year Commando 850 brand new in 1973. And as a meticulous sort he saved not only every piece of original paperwork like the purchase contract, showroom brochure, and more but also saved a file of every period magazine he used to research the Superbikes of the day- the same ones […]
1973 Ford Bronco Ranger
Delivered new to Sun Valley Ford in Concord, California this Hot Ginger Metallic Bronco had covered just 39,000 miles before it found me. It left the factory with the 302 V8, 3 speed manual, Ranger package, dual gas tanks, 3.50 limited slip differentials, HD cooling, and a host of other options. The original owner had […]
