I don’t usually touch anything over 1965 on these pages, but I couldn’t help myself on this one. Good buddy Dennis McPhail set out to build a daily driver custom for under $10k and found one hell of an eBay deal on this ’66 Pontiac. You know the story - mis-listed, under bid, and stolen.

Not Traditional
