Craig couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy the 1968 Pontiac Firebird. It had been sitting neglected in a shed for over a decade. The owners were separating, and the Firebird was part of the fallout.\n\nCraig's 1968 Pontiac Firebird\nPhotos by Zac Poole\nDownload Wallpaper: Desktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2\nIt wasn't perfect. In fact, it barely ran. But it was all original, right down to the Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Once Craig was able to get the classic running, he m

When Chris of A-Pro Automotive Services in Langley purchased his 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, he knew he had found something special. Though the Chevelle had already undergone a restoration, Chris had a vision. And the classic's circa 2018 resto wasn't what he ultimately wanted.\n\nChris' 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle\nPhotos by Zac Poole\nDownload Wallpaper: Desktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2\n\nFor Chris, a Chevelle should be all about clean body lines and the perfect stance.

We hung the first door late in the day, when the shop was quiet again. Fresh paint, still curing. New hinges. New seals. Parts laid out all over the shop, the way they had been for months. When the door finally swung into place and closed the way it was supposed to, I stepped back and felt it in my chest. Eight months of work condensed into a single, solid click. My old Defender was starting to look like a vehicle again. \nNot a project. Not a problem. Something whole.\nI did not tear up beca

A 23-year-old Oscar found his ideal restoration project tucked away in an orchard. When he brought home the 1967 International Harvester Scout 800 in 2023, Oscar did not realize how much he would learn attempting his first-ever frame-off restoration. Over the next few years, his home garage became his classroom, and the Scout his teacher.\n\n1967 International Harvester Scout 800 Photos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: \nDesktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2 \n\nBuilt

Some of Craig’s fondest memories come from riding in the back of his uncle’s 1969 Dodge Dart. The passing scenery, the rumble of the engine, and the way the car felt on the road sparked a dream that stayed with him.\n1969 Dodge Dart Photos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Desktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2 Ten years ago, that dream became reality when Craig bought the Dodge Dart from his uncle. From the start, he knew the car wouldn’t remain st

A modern-day industrial complex is the last place you would expect to find a vintage vehicle. Those classics usually sit in a dimly lit barn from the same era, or rest under a dust cover in the detached garage behind your grandfather's bungalow. But a rat rod? That is a different story.1929 Ford Model A Tudor Photos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Desktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2 \nJerrod's 1929 Ford Model A Tudor does not adhere to tradition.

The tree-lined road stretched ahead like a living tunnel of green, arching over the 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS as it rolled toward the fairytale setting of Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Every fairytale needs a hero—and this story’s hero just arrived in style. \n1967 Chevrolet Impala SSPhotos by Zack PooleDownload Wallpaper: Desktop | Mobile 1 | Mobile 2 The first time Gary saw photos of the Impala, something clicked.

Parked on the runway, JF’s sculpted 1964 Buick Riviera, Rivision, looks like an arrow poised for flight—its pointed hood ready to slice through the air.
