As far as custom builds go, this 1966 International Scout 800 LS3 with its chalk white exterior is just right. Custom upgrades on this classic SUV include reported custom designed lenses on RIGID LED backlit headlight and taillights, plus RIGID front and rear fog lights. Visibility is made better by Ringbrothers custom side and rear view mirrors, which also add a distinctive touch to the exterior. You also sit high off the ground thanks to Method wheels which are reportedly wrapped with 295x70x17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. The custom red interior on this 1966 International Scout 800 LS3 looks ready to party. The current owner reports a host of modifications starting with custom upholstery, added storage, Vitus Nano carbon ultra slim mount speakers, SoundSkins Pro 3-layer acoustic sound dampening material and a Vintage A/C system present to cool it all down. We could go on about the interior upgrades, but its best enjoyed in person, and from behind the wheel, because there’s more upgrades to the mechanicals.
We mentioned at the start that this classic 1966 International Scout 800 LS3 sees its build complete by Velocity Restorations, the exterior upgrades aren’t the only elements worked on by them, as underneath all the upgrades lies a reported Velocity exclusive chassis. This serves as a perfect base, given that there’s an LS3-based powertrain beneath the hood. It’s not stock either, with upgrades such as Concept One serpentine system, and a 3-inch MagnaFlow high performance exhaust. Drive gets sent to all four wheels via a 4L60E automatic transmission, and 4-speed Atlas transfer case as reported by the current owner. Elsewhere, you’ll find Turn One power steering, a reported 4-link coilover suspension kit, 9-inch double adjustable AFCO Pro shocks, Dana 44 front axle, and Dana 60 rear axle. Braking is assured by Wilwood front and rear disc brakes with Hydroboost assisted braking.

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
