BF Exclusive: 1971 MGB GT

Something strange is happening as I write this: I’m feeling a strong urge to buy some driving gloves and a flat cap. It doesn’t get much more British than an MGB with wire wheels; with gorgeous red paint and… more»

The dynamics of the muscle car market changed from the 1960s to the 1970s. To gauge the impact all you have to look at Plymouth Road Runner sales. From a peak of 82,300 units in 1969, output fell to… more»

No Reserve! 1977 Datsun 280Z Project

We think many of us here agree that the Datsun 240/260/280Z is among the best-looking cars to come out of Japan. It’s gorgeous. They also lend themselves well to modifications, as evidenced by those fantastic Bob Sharp Z’s that… more»

45k Original Miles? 1971 Chevrolet Vega

The Chevelle was one of Chevrolet’s best-selling automobiles from 1964 to 1977 (rebranded as the Malibu in 1978, the series’ previous most successful model). The second generation wound down production in 1972, including the seller’s car which was one… more»

Perfect Paint And Body! 1975 Pontiac Grand AM

When Pontiac’s new Grand Am was introduced in 1973, I thought it an odd addition to the lineup. It’s an A-body, like the LeMans/GTO and, really, the Grand Prix, too. So what unoccupied marketing niche did it fill? Well,… more»
