Wide Track Bargain: 1973 Grand Prix

Ever Seen One? 1978 Quadravan Find

Special Edition Survivor: 1978 Alfa Romeo

How Bad Do You Want One? 1959 Turner

After 35 years of sitting in an Atlanta back yard–which should be some sort of crime–this Turner is now in search of a foolhardy fanatical enthusiast to try to bring it back to life. Thanks to reader Peter R…. more»

California Dreamboat: 1955 Studebaker President

By 1955, Studebaker was making full use of the 1953 redesign of their coupe models, and most of the clean lines were still there. This President carried some accent trim, and I find that it actually improves the basic… more»

1974 Volvo 142: Compelling Tarp Find

There’s something about this Volvo 142 that keeps drawing me back to it (I’ve looked at the ad four separate times now just this morning). Perhaps it’s the solidity of Volvo construction versus my usual British tin? Maybe it’s… more»

Is It The Right One? 1969 Dodge Coronet 500

This 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 (does it seem to you that there are a lot of late 60’s Mopars coming to market?) is listed for sale here on eBay and comes with an interesting story, especially about its last 15 years…. more»

Numbers Matching, Two Owner 1969 Corvette

Small Arms Exotic: 1937 BSA Scout

Imagine an aluminum-bodied, front wheel drive, composite (ok, wood + metal) framed roadster that only weighs 1,290 pounds! Sounds like a modern sports car dream, doesn’t it. I don’t even mind the front wheel drive at this price and… more»

Fabulous Fox Body! 13K Mile 1986 Mustang GT

The Pony You’ve Been Waiting For?

Don’t Worry, It Unbolts! 1955 Austin Healey V8

Reader Doug T. sent in this 1955 “Nasty Boy” Austin Healey 100-4 that someone has taken some extreme liberties with. I know that Gerry Coker was never particular satisfied with the original 100-4 nose (they parked the prototype at… more»
