Non-Running Revival Candidate? 1969 Lincoln Continental

Maybe I’m off-base, but the majority of the cars being sold as “projects” are probably no longer restoration candidates, but rather fodder for “revivals” of the kind you can see any time you turn a corner on YouTube. That… more»

One-Owner 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix

Quick question: Which one of General Motors’ personal luxury coupes pulled off its 1978 downsizing most successfully? The Monte Carlo (although I like it) seems to have its share of detractors, as do the Oldsmobile Cutlass and Buick Regal…. more»

351-Powered 1978 Ford Mustang II Cobra II

As the owner of a family heirloom 1965 Mustang, I have long been immersed in the Mustang lifestyle, ever since I was a kid with a Mustang Monthly subscription back in the ’90s. Back then, the Mustang II was always the… more»

390-Powered 1968 AMC AMX

It’s funny the things you’ll remember from your school days. My late calculus teacher shared an anecdote with me, knowing I was into cars, about his younger days when he was ignored at the Chevy dealership while shopping for… more»

89K Miles: 1988 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Brougham

It’s been almost three decades since I watched the acclaimed Coen Brothers film Fargo, but that’s still the first thing that came to mind when I opened Barn Finder Lothar…of the Hill People’s tip for this 1988 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight… more»

Barn Find Fastback: 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2

Anyone who has spent any time around early Mustangs know exactly where they rust—everywhere. That’s why it’s important to look past the sunbaked paint to the solid sheetmetal on this 1966 2+2 barn find. The seller, who is located… more»

82K Miles: 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Coupe

I’ll drive almost anything, but at heart, I’m a big proponent of the BOP trio of Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. However, like many collectors, I think that the 1958 models, especially the Oldsmobile and Buick, were overwrought. But we… more»

One-Owner 1968 Plymouth Sport Fury

It makes me sad sometimes that I’ll never know the ownership history of some of my cars. In a few cases it’s my fault, as I’ll be too engrossed in loading up the trailer and thinking about the work… more»

$7K 1963 Rambler Classic Six You Didn’t Know You Wanted!

The other day, I was watching a YouTube video from Orphan Car Garage, a Massachusetts dealer, that featured a black 1963 Rambler Classic Six 770 Sedan for sale. I couldn’t look away, because the 1963 Classic had such clean… more»

20K-Mile Barn Find: 1964 Jeep Wagoneer

Just as Pontiac is given credit (most of the time) for starting the muscle car era, I think we can safely say that Willys/Jeep kickstarted the Sports Utility Vehicle craze way back in the mid-1940s. It wasn’t until 1963,… more»

Jump In And Drive: 1966 GMC Custom Suburban

While we can’t see what the future holds, we can only hope that General Motors will still be peddling Suburbans; after all, they’ve been a staple of American highways and beyond for the last 90 years. These days, it’s… more»

Solid Arizona Truck: 1975 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale

Anyone up for a road trip to Appleton, Wisconsin? That’s where this solid Arizona 1975 Chevy C10 pickup currently calls home, and any Squarebody with more iron than iron oxide in its makeup is surely worth a look, especially… more»

Driver Project: 1960 Buick LeSabre Convertible

You can’t see under the skin of this wild 1960 Buick LeSabre Convertible, but it represents a couple “lasts” for General Motors’ oldest brand: It’s the last Buick with a torque-tube driveline and the last Buick with accelerator-pedal starting…. more»

34K Miles? 1974 Chevrolet Camaro

I don’t know about you, but I always find the sight of a stock 1970s pony car refreshing. So many of them have been lowered, raked, painted loud colors, striped, supercharged, and otherwise altered that it’s instructive to see… more»

No Reserve! 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix

You never know how many people own a certain make and model of car until you buy one; then, you see them everywhere! It seems that the same can be said this week about Pontiac Grands Prix from the… more»

A Plum Interior? 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix

Choosing a favorite Grand Prix from the 1963 to 1967 model years is hard, but there’s a lot to be said for the freshly restyled 1965 models. From its unique vertical grille motif to its special roofline (in the… more»
