4-Speed Ute: 1963 Ford Ranchero

Top Condition: 1975 Porsche 914 1.8L

Not a Volkswagen, not a Porsche. Quick, not fast. Well designed, not beautiful. The Porsche 914 is a stew of contradictions, but it was solidly successful, notching sales of 119,000 over the production run from 1969 through 1976. Here… more»

Rare Coupe Edition: 2009 Pontiac Solstice

454 V8 Sleeper: 1966 Chevrolet Bel Air

In the 1960s, the Bel Air was Chevrolet’s mid-range full-size car. It was a step up from the bare bones Biscayne, but not as glitzy as the Impala or Caprice. Chances are, this 1966 Bel Air 2-door sedan started… more»
