It may have been thirsty for gas but this 440 big block powered Town & Country was the perfect machine for growing American families on the move. Watch and wonder as Steve examines it’s novel “dual action” tailgate.

So check out this new truck and if you want it, or parts for some other project, hit up Chad at the number below.

This old Chevy is still in fairly decent shape. Considering what these old trucks went through back in the day, this truck managed to survive pretty well! It has some dings and dents here and there, but overall, this truck still looks good! This old truck performed her duties on a regular basis until and engine problem developed. The engine was torn down and repairs were in the works when the project was abandoned.

That’s how I found this one, literally put out to pasture until another day. This one just came in recently, so let’s go take a quick walk around this old Chevy!

The 1965 Ford full size line was all new with a “torque box” frame and the first rear coil springs on a Ford. The wagons even included a trick aerodynamic gimmick to keep the tail gate glass clean. But why is there a turbocharger INSIDE this ’65 Country Sedan? Watch and be “blown away”.

This old Chevy has been a workhorse for years! It spent many decades hauling grain in central Kansas. This old truck has been shedded for a good chunk of its life. The paint is wearing thin, but the rust is minimal. This old truck is complete and was running just a few years ago!!!

These old trucks were what made the heartland click during harvest over the years. This one has hauled a lot of grain over the years! It has a lot of potential and it is ready for its next life!

Our friend Steve Magnante has been out of commission for a few months as he’s literally been fighting for his life from a bad brain infection, but he’s back! You may know Steve from all his years in the magazine world where he wrote for a ton of great magazines like Hot Rod and Car Craft, but in recent years he’s been the rain man of muscle car and classics knowledge on Barrett-Jackson’s TV auction shows. He’s also been making great YouTube content of his own, walking through junkyards full of great finds and sharing all the info on cool old rides.

Thankfully, he had great doctors who didn’t give up on him even after putting him, and I’m so thrilled to say that he is in fact on the mend and working at getting back to his normal self.

I first met Steve more than 20 years ago on Hot Rod Power Tour and was lucky enough to work with him a few times over the years. He’s a real treasure, one hell of a guy, and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to be sharing these videos with you now.

Video Description:

For over a decade before Ford launched its compact 1982-1/2 Ranger pickup truck, Mazda kept Ford active in the sales battle against Toyota and Datsun with the “captive import” Courier – which was based on Mazda’s B-Series pickup. But why were these little trucks imported without the cargo bed bolted down? It’s all about the “chicken tax”. The what? Watch and learn.

Here’s all the info from Chad, along with a video:

This isn’t my car, this actually belongs to a buddy of mine. I was out on the road last weekend and stopped in to see him. He’s always out looking for cool cars also, so I checked out a few things he had picked up recently and he had this really cool GTO sitting there!

If you’re interested in this one, you can call my buddy Tom at 620-231-2277 or you can always call me and I can get you in touch with him!!!! This car was stashed away for years in dry storage before he found it!

This is a roller with no motor or trans, but the rest of it is pretty much there. He does have the PHS documents on it and this was an original 4 speed car! This car will need a full restoration, but it is a pretty good car to start with and real, 242 GTO Convertibles don’t pop up everyday!

Let’s go check this one out!

That was then. In today’s market, you’re damn lucky if you can find anything for five grand that you’d be willing to be seen in, let alone take on as a project. And you’d better believe that if you attempt this plan, that you will be putting in some strong work on your part if you have any intention of daily-driving the rig. And yes, daily operation was in consideration for past Rough Start cars. It wasn’t like you were going to find an Olds 442 or anything like that for that kind of money. (OK, maybe one of the “butt-less Cutlass” era 442s, but whatever.)

Dalton recently picked up yet another late-Seventies Pontiac Grand Prix. Aside from bringing back fond memories of the ass-chewing my dad gave me for doing absolutely riotous burnouts in his ’77 when I was a teenager, this is the perfect example of how far you’ll be stretching to make something out of nearly nothing. At first glance it’s bad. At second glance, it’s bad after the booze wore off and your vision returned to normal. The “before” shot of this Pontiac is the automotive equivalent of the worst one-night stand you could imagine. But Dalton also has patience, a vision, the ability to paint and when it comes to fiberglass body filler, he’s damn near Michelangelo. Don’t buy that? Look at the final product and judge for yourself.
