60K Mile Survivor: 1996 Saturn SL2

“A New Kind of Car Company,” so boasted GM’s newest division, Saturn, back in 1990. It was also one of GM’s shortest-lived companies, only making it about twenty years before the great carcalypse of 2009 sealed its fate. Today’s… more»

Smaller Is Better? 1978 Pontiac Bonneville

The Bonneville was a Pontiac staple from 1957 to 2005. They got bigger and bigger as the years went by – until 1977 when General Motors downsized all of its large automobiles. This was in response to the movement… more»

Shaftie Survivor: 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 ST

One of three versions of Kawi’s venerable 1,000 series, this is the one I would want, as it’s probably the best all-around model to live with in most situations. This 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 ST can be found here on… more»

Final Year Retro Rod: 2002 Chrysler Prowler

Understandably, the Plymouth Prowler was a mild disappointment after it was introduced. Most every enthusiast that followed the Chip Foose years when a show car concept was greenlighted for production was understandably underwhelmed that car which looked like a… more»

Idle Since 20th Century: 1977 Oldsmobile Omega

By 1973, every division of General Motors had a variant of the Chevrolet Nova to sell. Pontiac first copied the Nova in 1971 (Ventura), and Buick (Apollo) and Oldsmobile (Omega) followed in 1973. When the Nova was redesigned for… more»

Jackson Racing Upgrades: 1978 Honda Civic CVCC

One thing we can all agree on whether we fancy Camaros or Civics is that period upgrades are cool as heck. Really, any car that was modified in-period and survives to this day with modifications that are otherwise near… more»

Rare GLX Trim: 1983 Ford Mustang

Here’s an interesting specimen: this 1983 Ford Mustang doesn’t look all that desirable on paper, but for someone who is looking for a slightly obscure Fox body, it might be just the ticket. There’s a lot to like here… more»

1 of 12? Supercharged 1964 Studebaker Avanti

Slant-Six Cheap Wheels: 1965 Dodge Dart

The Lancer was Dodge’s first compact car from 1961 to 1962. And buyers didn’t take to it even though it was a warmed-over Plymouth Valiant, which sold better. A redesign came in 1963, and Dodge repositioned the Dart nameplate,… more»

Rust And Rot Everywhere: 1986 Yugo GV

It’s hard to argue with a seller who comes right out and says that the car they have listed for sale “Has rust and rot everywhere, been sitting in a field 10+ years.” This field find is a 1986… more»

1 of 824: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Ragtop

One of the dominant players in the late-1960s muscle-car game was the budget-minded Plymouth Road Runner. It was in production from 1968 to 1975, yet was only offered as a convertible in two of them (1969, 1970). Only 824… more»

Time Capsule Piece: 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

MicroRacer: Late 1950s Berkeley Barn Find

Ok I’m kidding about the “racer” part. While several brave souls raced Berkeley cars, including Pat Moss (1958 Liège-Brescia-Liège Rally), mostly Berks preferred to throw their chains, overheat, slam their pistons around or simply refuse to ascend the Alps… more»

440 Equipped: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

If I were to pick a car from the 1970s to park in my garage, any classic from Chrysler’s E-Body range would be a strong contender. The styling is bold and aggressive, with an inherently purposeful feel. This 1970… more»
