The vehicle history begins long before the current projects: a 1949 Jeep, a Graham, trucks, practical family cars, a black 1990 Corvette convertible, a Porsche 928, vans, SUVs, and machines bought because the possibility inside them was more interesting than their current condition.

The original site documents dozens of them with the kind of detail that disappears from a list of specifications—what the car felt like, why it entered the family, the thing it did unexpectedly well, and the day it left.

This section will connect that history to the restoration and road-repair projects that came later.
