Keith’s Blog: Which Car for a Road Trip?
In just a few days, Bradley and I will be heading out for a 1,600-mile road trip. This journey is long overdue. It’s been almost two years since we threw our bags in the back of a car, put the top down and headed out from Portland. Our travel and vacation options are limited in…

Keith’s Blog: This Week a Ferrari Got Away!
Last week it was a 1975 Citroën DS23 that I backed off on. It sold for $37,800. This week’s temptation was a 2003 Ferrari 456M GTA.

Keith’s Blog: No Citroën for Me
When SCMer Greg Long listed a 1975 DS23 Pallas on Bring a Trailer, it caught my attention. In addition to being a very-late model with a 2.3-liter engine, it had a Citromatic 4-speed automatic that you shifted manually. I’ve always had a soft spot for Citroëns. Whenever I see one, my collector car heart starts…

Keith’s Blog: The Uber Rollback Program
Three strikes and you’re out. That’s been my philosophy with old cars for some time. Recognizing that a car that comes into the SCM Collection may not have been used regularly, I anticipate a period of unreliability as they are put into service.

Keith’s Blog: A Father’s Day Trifecta
I celebrated Father’s Day in car-guy style. In one day, my 13-year-old son Bradley and I drove special cars from three different eras. We started by taking the 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce out of storage. My good friend Neil D’Autremont has been managing the SCM cars. The car was on the button. I’ve…
