For Lachlan Sillitoe, what started as a simple plan to own a dependable, no-frills truck evolved into a five-year fight against years of oxidation. Lachlan purchased the “rusty old thing” in 2017.

Craig couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy the 1968 Pontiac Firebird. It had been sitting neglected in a shed for over a decade.
