One Owner Survivor: 1979 Ford Thunderbird

They don’t come much cleaner than this one! This 1979 Ford Thunderbird’s original owner died about 10 years ago, but his wife didn’t get around to selling his two cars until recently (more about the other one later). It’s… more»

Parked Since 1974: 1965 Triumph TR4A

Although the seller describes this as a 1964, it’s clearly a Triumph TR4A not a TR4, which makes it a 1965-1967 model. The last time it was licensed was in 1974, and while there appears to be some damage… more»

Airplane Heritage Find: 1952 Bristol 401

I have heard the term “gentleman’s express” used to describe Bristols in the past. When an airplane company decides to build cars, they typically go their own route to some extent (ask Saab owners), and Bristol was no exception…. more»

From The Past To The Future: 1981 Tri-Magnum

Looking for all the world like something out of a science fiction movie, this 1981 Tri-Magnum doesn’t look like it would take much to put it back on the road. It sounds like it’s being sold by the original… more»

Best In The World? 1969 De Tomaso Mangusta Survivor

Mangusta comes from the Latin for mongoose, the snake killer. I’m not sure if that was intended as a reference to the Cobras that were winning everything in sight when this mid-engined monster was being designed, but it sounds… more»

Better Hurry! 1946 MG TC At Auction April 26

I’m already driving my birthday present from my wife (actually, I get 3/5 of it, she claims it 2 weekdays), so the fact that this MG TC is being auctioned off on my 53rd birthday is irrelevant. The facts… more»

Buy One Get One: 1962 Dodge Darts

There aren’t many more distinctive designs than Virgil Exner’s early 1960’s Mopar products. This pair of 1962 Dodge Darts is being offered by auction here on eBay, both for one price. While the bidding is starting at only $1,000, the… more»

Gotta Read The Story! 1959 Ford Fairlane Garage Find

This gorgeous 1959 Ford survivor is worth looking at just because it’s beautiful. The craigslist ad is even better. While the cynic in me knows that it’s a dealer ad, the hopeless romantic in me loves the story of… more»

Bargain Convertible: 1963 Plymouth Valiant

The original family is the current owner of this 1963 Plymouth Valiant convertible, although there’s no telling if they’ve been the only owners (I have bought back a TR6 that I owned in high school, although it had a multi-owner… more»

Honest Truck Find: 1965 Ford F250

A while back on Barn Finds, we did a series of posts on “Honest Trucks.” You probably can guess what I’m talking about, an old truck with nothing hidden by body filler, a reasonable price and probably not too much… more»

Parts Car To Project: 1968 AMX

I was very surprised after my initial look at this 1968 American Motors AMX project car, which was sent to us by reader Clarke B. It sure looks like more car in this view than you would expect to… more»
