There was a time when buying a pickup that was loaded with style and considered quite “choice” for the era didn’t require having four wheel drive. We often think that the most desirable pickup trucks must have the raised… more»
38K Original Miles: 1990 Ferrari 348 TS
A driver-quality Ferrari may seem like an incredibly risky proposition (it is), but if you’re not already sitting amongst a stable of Italian thoroughbreads, getting into prancing horse ownership may require buying one that isn’t a highly-preserved specimen. You… more»
Sport Sedan Project: 1988 BMW 535is
Selling a project when it’s halfway through a major refurbishment is always risky, as it could seriously impact the asking price that likely reflects the work that’s already been done. In the case of this 1988 BMW 535is, one… more»
One Family Owned: 1978 Ford Mustang King Cobra
In the classic car world, we tend to love finding vehicles that are still in the care of their original owners, or one family owned. The reason for this wasn’t immediately obvious to me over the years, as I… more»
Unfinished Restoration: 1971 Porsche 911 Targa
It’s unusual these days to see a long-hood Porsche 911 project show up in unfinished condition once the restoration has begun. I say this because the pay-off for a proper restoration on a car like this usually justifies the… more»
Project EXP: 1987 Ford Escort
This is not a car that should excite me, but sadly, it does. This is a Ford Escort EXP, which is a two-door, “sporty” coupe that wasn’t particularly fast or sharp-handling, but that bodywork would say otherwise. You don’t… more»
Tahitian Green: 1991 Honda CRX Si
The Honda CRX is one of those cars that enjoyed a nice swing in value, and I suspect it’s not done yet. The Si trim is fairly hard to find, especially in stock form, as most of these cars… more»
One-Owner 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Ah, the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro – a perennial entry in the “project cars you can afford” category, and one that seems to remain popular even years after its retirement (the generation, not the model.) However, is there a value… more»
Ford Probe Alternative: 1996 Mazda MX-6
Mazda has achieved a remarkable run of consistency over the years despite remaining an independent brand that competes with a much smaller arsenal of products and capital. One of the ways it has done this is by producing cars… more»
Turbo Slantnose Conversion: 1977 Porsche 911
When a car is no longer original but is actually infinitely better than the vehicle it once was, should the value increase accordingly? That’s the question in front of us with this wild 1977 Porsche 911. While it may… more»
California Survivor: 1975 Porsche 911
Some cars simply have a pleasing aesthetic, and that alone can compel buyers to bid. At least, that’s how I rationalize wanting vehicles I have no actual need to own, such as this 1975 Porsche 911 that the seller… more»
No Reserve: 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
When the C5-era of the Chevrolet Corvette was introduced, it was a significant shift in the domestic sports car landscape. To be honest, I consider the C5 to be the last time a Corvette truly captured the attention of… more»
49K Original Miles: 1986 Honda CRX
Vintage cars are not unlike cryptocurrency. For some models, there was a great time to get in, just like if you were an early believer in alternative currencies. However, after a certain point, the winds began to shift, and… more»
Renegade Conversion: 1973 Porsche 914 V8
A Porsche 914 with the 2.0L engine is generally thought as a desirable vehicle. After all, the later and larger motor gave the VW/Porsche hybrid a reasonable amount of power out of the gate, and certainly was equipped to… more»
Overhauled Turbo Coupe: 1985 Buick Regal T-Type
A few days ago, we featured a Buick LeSabre T-Type which showcased some of the confusion the company had in terms of its identity. Was it a luxury car company intended for older buyers who didn’t want to buy… more»
Possible Euro Spec: 1976 Porsche 911
The late 1970s were not great years for sports cars, hampered by challenging emissions standards and systems that strangled engines and squashed performance. There was a time that these conditions and the cars affected by them were some of… more»
