The Morgan Plus 4 Is a Brand-New Classic Car

Today, it’s possible to restore classic cars to better-than-new condition and performance. There are companies that restomod Ford Broncos, Range Rovers, Chevy trucks, Mini Coopers, and so on.

Thanks to Icon, This 1970 Ford Ranger Rides Again

Even before the latest-gen Ford Ranger was tackling overlanding routes and working commutes, the midsize pickup was a popular truck.

Why You Can’t Just Put Modern Tires on a Classic Car

It’s possible to take some of the inconvenience out of driving a classic car. You can give it modern infotainment, or even swap out the powertrain for an electric one.

Renault 5 Turbo: Mid-Engine, RWD, Rally Racer…Hatchback

Racing homologation specials are often significantly different than the cars they’re based on. Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution got a larger engine and all-wheel drive.

Why Are Air-Cooled Porsche 911s so Valuable?

Classic car values can sometimes reach dizzying heights. And one of the most prominent poster children for this is air-cooled Porsche 911s.

The air-cooled Porsche 911 craze has also boosted restomodding and created …

Can You Ride a Classic Motorcycle Daily?

It’s not just classic trucks and SUVs that are gaining popularity. Classic motorcycles are also on the rise, especially café racers, scramblers, and bobbers.

1958 Fiat 600 Multipla Mirafiori

Jay Leno Drives the World’s Rarest Fiat 600 Minivans

It’s not just modern minivans that offer cool features. Mercedes once made one with 500 hp, and Toyota had a mid-engine supercharged minivan.

The Toyota Previa Minivan is Now a Desirable Classic

Usually, the word ‘classic’ conjures up images of old Bugattis, British Minis, or first-gen Broncos. Rarely is a minivan called ‘classic’.

Jay Leno Takes a Classic Police Car Out For a Joyride

1971 Datsun 240Z

Why the Overpriced $300k 240Z Was Actually a Good Deal

For the vast majority of us, paying six figures is something usually done for a house, not a car. And it’s not just high-end luxury SUVs, like the Lamborghini Urus or Porsche Cayenne, that cost that much, either. There’s a 600-hp classic Ford Bronco available for a quarter-million dollars, and air-cooled Porsche 911s have similarly …

How Much Would You Pay for a Fake Jaguar?

Restomodding a classic vehicle like a Ford Bronco, Range Rover or Porsche 911 is all well and good.

Range Rover Restomod: Classic Off-Road Style With Modern Reliability

Whether entry-level Evoque or tricked-out mild hybrid, the Range Rover can handle both off-road trails and downtown parties.

And buying a classic SUV means dealing with outdated …

This Classic Bentley Pickup Is Used to Deliver Champagne

More automakers have made pickup trucks than you might think. Yes, there are the obvious classic trucks from Ford and Chevy, but even luxury brands have entered the truck ring.
