I have a friend who has a camper in the family of this 1983 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia. His is an ’82, and he lives up a hill. It’s not a mountain, more like a hillock, and he can barely… more»
Rusty Hunk Of Junk: 1967 Mustang Fastback
If you really, really have to have a 1960s Mustang like this 1967 Fastback, then bid up past the one person who has supposedly posted an offer of $14,500. But be warned: There’s no mention of a reserve, so… more»
T-Top Muscle: 1971 Corvette Stingray
This car looks good at first glance, at least in the ad profile. The idea of a 1971 Corvette with only two owners entices. Who were these people? A young man-about-town who owned the car from new until the… more»
Big, Bad, Bird: 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee Edition
When even everything in the trunk is carpeted, from floor to spare tire cover, you know you’re into a car that has luxury pretensions. But how does that match up with the storied Thunderbird nameplate, which started out in… more»
Plush Burgundy Velour, Anyone?: 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix
Finally, a Grand Prix that’s in the same state I am (California) and which is old enough (a 1975 model) that it doesn’t have to be subjected to smog checks. And the price? Not terrible at an asking number… more»
Classic Lines, Nasty Power: 2009 Challenger SRT8
As others have said, “These are the good old days” of the muscle car world once again. That you can buy nearly new raw, big-engined monster for the price of a new grocery-getter is remarkable. But that’s what you’ll… more»
Bird Poop Special: 1966 (?) Ford Mustang Coupe
Put that money back in your pocket, and back away, slowly. When at a safe distance, turn and run like heck. You’ll thank me later for this advice. What am I saving you from? For an ask of $3500,… more»
Raw And Ready: 1993 Viper RT-10
You’ve had 32,000 chances to grab up a Dodge Viper during a production cycle that lasted from 1992-2017 (with a couple of brief hiatuses thrown in). If you’ve blown it so far, here’s a 1993 Viper RT-10 that can… more»
Unrestored British Gem: 1965 Triumph TR4

Fancy Yourself A Marquis? 1972 Mercury Marquis Brougham
Square. If you could sum up the 1982 Mercury Marquis Brougham in one word, that would be it. The lines are square, and the person who drives such a car could also be described in the language of an… more»
Canadian Survivor: 1968 Caprice Estate Station Wagon
When I was growing up, cars were ordered the way you wanted them. My dad, who drove only station wagons, always had the dealer check off the box for what some people call “poverty caps” (dog dish hubcaps) to… more»
Four-Speed Personal Luxury: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Once upon a time, the Monte Carlo was a desirable model that fell between the muscle cars of the day and the luxo-cruisers. What was great about it? It was a personal luxury car that said that the person… more»
Race Car For The Street: 2001 TVR Tuscan Speed Six
“Gee, that’s a nice Viper.” Those might be the words that pop into your head when you see this car, but in fact, you’re not looking at a Chrysler (as we used to say—I know the Viper was a… more»
Everything But Green: 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28
Let’s see, high school physics. Light gets refracted through the color spectrum, which goes like this: red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet. It seems like the old car hobby, particularly the Camaro-Firebird aficionados of the 1970s, have sold vehicles almost through the whole spectrum,… more»
Before You Know You Want It: 1962 Olds Dynamic 88
“Everyone who wants one of those has one.” So goes current wisdom about certain pony cars (early Mustangs) and muscle cars (GTOs). But what if we reverse that and say something like, “Some people who want one of those… more»
Time For A Drophead? 1960 Austin Healey 3000
Frequent tipster TJ threw this little nugget our way: a 1960 Austin Healey 3000 coming out of an estate with an apparent 63,800 miles on the odometer and looking in pretty good health, if you get past the surface…. more»
