33K-Mile Survivor: 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

I always get a little sad when I see a late 1970s Cadillac, because I know how unkind the 1980s was to the brand. While Cadillac has weathered the storm and has a pretty decent lineup of vehicles today,… more»

BF Auction: 1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega #14

Here’s a hypothetical scenario: Imagine if Chevrolet had concocted the Cosworth Vega in 1965 rather than introducing it as a 1975 model. Imagine that they didn’t have to submit the drivetrain to the EPA for emissions certification, and instead,… more»

Matching-Numbers 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 396

Back when I was a student in the mid-1990s, my high school hosted the Class D track-and-field state finals, and we track runners had to help run the event. In a best-case-scenario situation, I ended up showing people where… more»

Ready For The Road: 1985 Ford Bronco II XLT

If you go to your friendly Ford dealer today, you’ll find that they’re willing to sell you a big Bronco or a little Bronco…just like they would back in 1985. Being that we’re a bunch of classic car fans… more»

Practical Collector Car? 1984 Chevrolet El Camino

It’s a good day when a car for sale sends me to the books to get the scoop on option availability, because then I get to learn something new and (if I’m lucky) a little obscure. In the case… more»

36K Mile Survivor? 1946 Ford Pickup

If you’re perusing a website devoted to old cars for sale, chances are good that in your mind’s filing cabinet, you have a folder for “ones that got away”; in fact, many of ours would require multiple drawers. One… more»

47K Miles: 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 Two-Door Sedan

Ford really did often have a “Better Idea.” In 1962, they originated the “intermediate” car with their new Fairlane, and while it had a LOT in common with the Falcon, it was just a little bit bigger…the “right size”… more»

Three-On-The-Tree! 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe

We should all strive to care less about what others think and worry about what makes us happy, but on the other hand, can you imagine the unadulterated envy felt by the neighbors when you pulled into the driveway… more»

One Family Owned: 1959 GMC 100 Pickup

One of the more melancholy aspects of old car ownership is knowing that your classic car (or fleet of them) will eventually be cast to the four winds. That’s not always a bad thing, as getting a car into… more»

Solid Bumpside: 1972 Ford F-250 Explorer

Several years ago, I found myself approached in a parking lot by a gentleman who asked me if I wanted to trade my 1965 Dart Wagon for a 1972 Ford truck. Although I had no interest in doing so,… more»

4K Mile 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce

There’s a quote ascribed to French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire that “perfect is the enemy of good,” and I think that many twenty-first century sports cars have fallen victim to that mentality. While it would be a lie to say… more»

60k Miles? Two-Owner 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado

I think anyone with gasoline in their veins was a little sad when Oldsmobile closed its doors for the last time. It doesn’t make any difference that General Motors’ sales couldn’t really support so many brands as their market… more»

326/4-Speed: 1967 Pontiac LeMans Hardtop

If you look hard enough, you can find the unusual in almost anything; for example, this beautiful 1967 Pontiac LeMans is factory-equipped with a 326 two-barrel and a four-speed. To be clear, that’s not seeing a Panhard Dyna on… more»

13k-Mile COE? 1957 Jeep FC-150

If you’re lucky enough to find a Jeep FC-150 for sale, it will more than likely resemble the really cool 1963 model I wrote up here last month, not this shiny, like-new 1957 Jeep that Barn Finds staffer Russell J…. more»

Two For One: 1973 Triumph Stag V8

When I was in high school back in the mid-1990s, I started collecting literature on Triumphs, because I couldn’t decide if I’d own a TR2 or a TR3 someday (I would have been disappointed to know that I’ve owned… more»

Better Than A Barn Find? 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday

Update 3/5/26 – This Olds has been relisted here on eBay and bidding is already above the previous high bid. It still hasn’t met the reserve though… From 2/7/26 – What’s better than a barn find? According to the… more»
