It’s hard to believe that 2013 is already drawing to a close. We had amazing contests, heard some great stories from enthusiastic car owners, and of course, we got to drive some pretty slick rides. How fast time flies, especially when you get behind the wheel of some of the cars we did like the new Jaguar F-Type, SRT...
We finally got that little body buffed out to a shine. That took our detail guy 3-4 days to do, but it really brought that original paint job back from the dead. Shop now for AMC Gremlins We also got under the hood, rebuilt the carb, replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor and points. It also got a new...
You may have seen on the show that we got this little monster in the shop a week or so ago. And no, I’m not talking about Tom. I’m talking about this 1974 Gremlin X. Now why the hell did I buy a Gremlin you might be wondering? Well, the Gremlin X is actually a pretty collectible car. The X package was introduced in...
An email came across my desk the other day from a guy in Colorado saying that he had located a pretty clean barn find. I was happy when I opened the attached pictures and saw this First Generation 1959 El Camino! The 1959 El Camino was a unique vehicle that actually only saw a one year production run styled like...

eBay Listing: 1980 Allison MG TD It never ceases to amaze me how much detailing a car can completely change the look and feel of it. I’ve dealt with plenty of old, neglected cars in my day, and sometimes all they need is a good wash, wax and polish. The 1980 Allison MG TD had been garage kept, so luckily for us, it...
A guy called the other day and said he heard we buy old cars. He said he was looking to sell one, and claimed it was like nothing we had ever seen before. He was right. It turned out to be a 1980 Allison MG TD replica. This is a one-owner car that has lived its entire life in Texas. The owner’s father used to take him...
Follow-up on ‘72 Mustang Convertible We’re making good progress on our first eBay project car and we just wanted to give you an update. The ’72 Ford Mustang Convertible 302 V8 is just about ready for auction. We fixed the wiring issue so that all of the lights and blinkers are fully functioning. We went back and...
We recently acquired a 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible 302 V8 that’s begging for the Gas Monkey touch. It’s not in bad condition by any means, but it could definitely use a little TLC. The Mustang is showing 26,754 miles and is a medium yellow gold with a white convertible top and white interior. In 1972, only 6,121...
Before Emmitt Smith became Lincoln Motor Company’s brand ambassador, he purchased a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL hard top convertible to celebrate signing on with the Dallas Cowboys.
