AMC Concord Pro Street Surf Wagon
Woodgrain, surfboard, tubbed rear and small-block Chevy. A winning combo? We like wagons because of their do-everything nature. Usually, that means they drive like a car and haul like an SUV. Today’s feature car is perhaps less versatile, but still has a split personality. It looks like a utilitarian, early 80s woodgrain wagon and has…

Wagon + Woodgrain + 383 + Four-speed = Heaven?
This is a Dodge Custom 880, which was the top-of-the-line offering in 1965. Even better, this is the wagon example, originally with woodgrain and a four-speed! This one currently has a 383 V8 in it, but we think a ’65 should have a 361. In any case, it’s not clear which 383 this is. If…

Trick my Truck Tiki Van
It’s always fun when reality TV vehicles show up for sale. Recently, we featured the Astroghini from the very short-lived Ultimate Car Build Off. Today’s feature is the No Worries Tiki van from Trick my Truck, which actually stuck around for five seasons. This was a rock band’s tour van and, obviously, was fixed up…

4WD Wagon FTW!
No, Ford never built ’em like this. This is a custom job involving a 1972 Gran Torino County Squire and something else. The seller claims this has a recently rebuilt 351 Cleveland with “special cam headers and carburetor.” The one engine shot shows no carb, so we’re not sure what to think of that. Presumably,…

Mercury Cougar Wagon – Yes, Really!
Most people know the Mercury Cougar as a version of the Ford Mustang (1967-1973) or the Ford Thunderbird (1974-1997), although youngsters may only remember the hatchback Cougar, based on the Mondeo platform. What many forget is that the 1977 through 1979 model year Cougar offered a full lineup with two-door, four-door sedan and wagon all…

K-Car + Wagon + Turbo + Wood Grain + Brown
This is a thing of (strange) beauty. The seller says this needs cosmetic work and we agree. What he or she doesn’t mention is the fact that the engine is out of the car, though one could infer that based on the note that a rebuilt engine is included. This is at the LeMons $500…

Live The Country Squire Lifestyle
This is a real opportunity for just the right person. Here we have a delightful 1971 Ford Country Squire wagon with some recent work done, but with is currently not running. If you’re handy with wrenches, you should be able to get the 400 V8 running fairly easily (?) and then start thinking about cosmetics,…

Dream Pinto? Squire Wagon Four-Speed!
The seller provides some good info here an beg good questions: “When is the last time you saw an early 72 Squire in respectable condition and when might you see one again?” I don’t know I last saw a ‘nice’ Pinto Squire and I don’t know if I’ll ever see another, particularly a four-speed car.…

Master the Road in Style
At the time of its launch, most enthusiasts considered the B-platform Caprices, Roadmasters, Fleetwoods and Oldsmobile 98/Custom Cruisers about the least interesting cars on the road. The fender skirts adn bulbous design were called out, as was the floaty ‘handling’. These were for police, taxi drivers and the elderly. The Impala SS version of the…

Greatest Bodystyle of all time?
Are you tired of waiting for Audi to put their 2005 Shooting Brake Concept into production? Having trouble finding room in your budget for a Ferrari FF? Not to worry, you can scratch that “3-door-wagon” itch that we all have by purchasing this 1980 Pinto Squire Wagon! We’re not sure if it is the strange…
