Vice Grip Garage has built a loyal following by dragging forgotten iron back to life, and right now the well-known seller has a trio of very different classics listed at auction. Each one tells its own story, from a burly four-wheel-drive workhorse to a top-down luxury cruiser to a small-block-swapped hauler. Here is a closer look at all three, with photos courtesy of Vice Grip Garage.
1969 Jeep J2000 1/2-Ton Pickup
The headliner of the group is this 1969 Jeep J2000, a 1/2-ton pickup wearing a deep burgundy finish that suits its rugged Gladiator-era lines. Riding on chunky all-terrain rubber and backed by an automatic transmission, the two-seat hauler carries a clean title and a VIN of 2406W19301264. It is the kind of honest, ready-to-use four-wheeler that has made vintage Jeep trucks so collectible, and it has clearly struck a nerve with bidders.
1963 Cadillac DeVille Convertible
Switching from rugged to refined, the 1963 Cadillac DeVille convertible is pure early-sixties American glamour. Finished in black over a white interior, it pairs a smooth V8 with an automatic transmission and seating for six, so there is room for the whole crew when the top is down. With rear-wheel drive, a clean title, and VIN 63F001737, this drop-top represents the era when Cadillac defined boulevard luxury, and it offers a far more affordable entry point than many of its contemporaries.
1972 GMC 1/2-Ton Pickup
Rounding out the trio is a 1972 GMC 1/2-ton pickup, a clean-lined example from the beloved second-generation C/K era. This one has a story under the hood: it now runs a 327-cubic-inch small-block Chevy backed by an automatic, a popular and dependable swap for these trucks. Wearing a white exterior and riding on a two-wheel-drive, left-hand-drive chassis, the standard-cab hauler seats three and carries a clean title with partial service history and VIN TCE142A509354. It is a great-looking shop truck or weekend cruiser with plenty of vintage GM character.
The Bottom Line
Three vehicles, three completely different moods: a trail-ready Jeep, a top-down Cadillac, and a small-block GMC. Together they show off the range that has made Vice Grip Garage such a fun seller to follow, and each is currently up for grabs to the highest bidder. Whether you want a rugged hauler, a cruising convertible, or a classic shop truck, this lineup has something worth a look.
