TCG Stories

I have an agreement in principle to buy a 1990 Audi Quattro Coupe that has numerous needs of the mechanical and cosmetic sort. The timing belt hasn't been done; the cooling system untouched; the headliner is covered in mold; numerous electrical faults exist; and the obsolete front bumper is cracked ...

I often watched auctions for cars similar to ones I owned and wondered how the price got so high for a vehicle that didn't have the same thick stack of recent maintenance records my vehicle inevitably came with but was simply a stock, low-mileage vehicle. Since bringing home the 1990 ...

As part of my therapy around the enormously crappy Saab 9000 Aero that I bought last year (and managed to make a few bucks on when it came time to dump it), I pillaged everything I could from it to flip on craigslist and Facebook Marketplace short of stripping off ...

The thing I keep learning about myself is I get way more excited about a basketcase project car than I do a completely turnkey, ready-to-go example. Case in point: this week, I was offered first bite at two desirable enthusiast vehicles: a 1979 Porsche 928, gray-market car that supposedly runs ...

The other day, a fairly prominent dealer - Duncan Imports, which has an arsenal of imported Japanese classics - got caught pumping up the bids on its supposedly super clean S14 chassis Nissan 240SX on Bring A Trailer. While the collective car community lost its ever-loving mind over this ...

A follower on our Instagram account took note of the fact that we love featuring potential project cars, so he tipped me off to a pretty unusual spotting: a Maserati convertible sitting in the weeds on a vacant lot in a fairly high-income zip code. The car in question is ...

Recently, a TCG member reached out to me about finding a front bumper for his Suzuki Sidekick. I was surprised to hear he was having trouble finding one; after all, this was a mass-produced vehicle that was popular in regions like ours where it snowed. Turns out the member - ...

I really don't think anything else needs to be said here, but riddle me this: a (historically) low-mileage Porsche 968 sits on the Hemmings classifieds for a few weeks at $75,000. No one buys it. 

It goes onto Bring A Trailer, and sells for $164,000. For a 968. You ...

One of our followers, a gent by the name of Thomas Smith, lives in a pretty cool place: Martha's Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. Despite being reachable only by ferry, Tom made a very excellent find not too long ago in the form of a desirable ...
