I wish I had better news for you all about my collection of barn finds, garage finds, and unconventional projects, but sadly, this is all I have to offer at the moment. We actually moved to a new house...

Joshua Mortensen — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 20:40:00 +0000

ENDING SOON! No Reserve 1973 Porsche 914

Jesse Mortensen — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 19:22:00 +0000

The Porsche 914 is a great option if you want to experience an air-cooled sports car but aren’t ready to step up to a 911. You sit low to the ground and the engine is right behind your back...
