I didn’t realize that the big three even made crew cabs this long ago, although I’ve always like the International ones of similar vintage. It just makes sense to me to include the extra row of seats in a… more»
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado: Futuristic Front-Driver
It’s telling that in most of the pictures that accompany this ad, the image of the car is larger than the picture! GM’s huge front-drive coupes have captivated many folks over the years. Jay Leno even created a rear-drive version…. more»
Italian Swiss Cheese: 1968 Fiat Dino Coupe
Ferrari had a problem they needed to solve. Somehow, they needed to sell a bunch of cars to homologate their new Formula 2 V6 engine. There was no way they were going to sell enough 206 “Dino” Ferraris. The… more»
Feeling Spritely? Austin-Healey Sprites
It’s safe to say that the 1958-61 Austin-Healey Sprite Mark I “Bugeye” (or “Frogeye” for our British readers) is one of the most beloved of all British sports cars. With its “cheeky grin” and great mix of simplicity and… more»
The One, The Only Ford Pintochero
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, and no, Ford did not make a factory Pinto truck. Someone decided to, though, I’m guessing out of a Pinto wagon, and it looks like they did a pretty darn good job… more»
Bargain Brit Project: 1965 Triumph Spitfire
It’s not often in this world that I run across an opportunity this promising. There are already four Spitfires in my family, so I’m not the right buyer for this project, but someone may be getting a tremendous deal…. more»
Pair Of Arachnids: Two Fiat 850 Spiders
A very long time ago, I was given my first tools by my Dad. It was the factory toolkit from his Fiat 850 Coupe. He still had the car, which I had christened “Midge” (for Midget, cause it was… more»
Not Quite Teslas: Pair of 1976 CitiCars
I’ll bet a lot of you think the Tesla is the first electric car marketed in the US (the one you see above isn’t it either, there were electrics available very early in the automobile’s history). The Citicar/CommutaCar was… more»
Low Mileage Kitty: 1950 Jaguar XK120
Being a British car lover, it’s easy for me to imagine owning an XK120. The big kitty absolutely surprised the world despite being intended as a low-production showcase for the new XK-series inline 6-cylinder engine. Early XK120’s have a… more»
Franco-Italian Wonders: Two Citroen SMs
My introduction to the Citroen SM was reading an Automobile Quarterly article on the SM in 1970. I thought it was a concept car, nothing that sleek could actually be a production car, right? Not only did Citroen produce… more»
Two French Follies: Renault GTA’s
I have a typical American trait of rooting for the underdog. Naturally, I liked AMC products growing up, and even got in trouble in elementary school when I drew a poster of the new AMC cars for 1975 when… more»
Comfortable Cruiser: 1968 Chrysler New Yorker
A true barn find, this large, economy size Mopar is presented just as it was pulled from long-term storage. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Bob R for alerting us to this big-block monster located in Hudson Valley, New York… more»
Motoring Monday: 1961 Jaguar Mk IX Project
My wife is in love with Jaguar Mk. VII’s, VIII’s and IX’s and eventually wants one. Consequently, I am in a constant search for the right car, although I think there will have to be a thinning of our… more»
Tri-Five Under $4k! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
I was pretty surprised to see this classic Chevy for such a low price, but then I started reading further, and there are good reasons. There are some good reasons that it may be a bargain as well! This… more»
1966 International Harvester Wrecker
I have a tow vehicle and a trailer with a winch for towing home my barn finds… or the race car when it breaks, or the Triumphs when the Prince of Darkness strikes! I’m looking at this wrecker and… more»
South Florida Sunshine: 1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster
Yes, Virginia, Datsun did make sports cars before the 240Z. And they were good ones! While this isn’t the more desirable larger-engined 2000, the 1600 is a nice convertible in its own right. Thanks to Jim S for spotting… more»
