In the world of special edition vehicles, Corvettes easily outnumber most any other marques. I could be wrong but I’m fairly confident it is easily the most over-marketed vehicle of all time. That’s not to say there are not… more»
Mark Cross Sedan: 1988 Chrysler New Yorker
We recently featured a Dodge Dynasty LE sedan, noting it was a once-popular car we rarely see these days. Now, we can add its corporate twin to the list: the “Series C” Chrysler New Yorker sedan, an upmarket take… more»
Shop Owner Built: Austin-Healey Sprite SCCA Race Car
One lesson that has proven quite useful with buying older vehicles is that you’re buying the owner/seller as much as the car itself. This is why I’ve struggled lately with seeing some listings on auction websites where the seller… more»
C4 Coupe Driver: 1985 Chevrolet Corvette
One of my bigger gripes with the Corvette community is how many cars seem to be modified with the intent to make the car louder and more eye-catching. The more subtle approach is what gets my attention, however, which… more»
Estate Sale Gold: Alfa Romeo Projects and Track Cars
Finding the remains of what was once a great collection is both exciting and melancholy. Knowing many of us have been in a position where we ran out of time to get a project completed but could always hit… more»
Final Cars from Trollhättan: Saab and NEVS Vehicles
Boy, this is a strange one: after thinking the only traces left of the Saab brand were whatever cars show up on Marketplace, lovingly kept alive by the Saab faithful, it turns out there are still a handful of… more»
Salvage Yard Save? 1979 Volvo 262C
To me, this is such a crying shame. While I’m a big fan of salvage yards and finding “gold” within them, you still never want to see an otherwise save-able car end up there. The Volvo 262C is an… more»
High Performance Kit Car: 1967 Fiberfab Valkyrie
The Fiberfab company has a long history of making some of the world’s (still) most desirable kit cars, despite going through a massive downward spiral when it was still in its infancy. The company was quickly gaining a reputation… more»
Sophisticated Monster: 2001 Tuscan Speed Six
One thing you can never accuse TVR of is being boring. It seems every car they managed to produce despite countless budgetary and capitalization setbacks was a bananas road car, full-up on power while skimping on the curb weight…. more»
V8 Coupe: 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX
To my mind’s eye, finding a cheap coupe with a V8 is one of the most turnkey entry points into classic and/or muscle car ownership. Any car I’ve owned with a V8 has been interesting to me just for… more»
3 Rows, 5-Speeds: 1991 Peugeot 505 SW8
A few years ago, I would have been all over this rare Peugeot wagon that’s an 8-seater and equipped with the rare 5-speed manual. The SW8 version of the classic 505 is known for being good at several desirable… more»
Extinct Sedan: 1988 Dodge Dynasty LE
The Dodge Dynasty is one of those cars that littered parking lots, motor pools, and car rental garages for years when it was in its prime. These days, they have all but gone extinct, and are rarely seen for… more»
South Carolina Commuter: 1989 Toyota 4Runner
This first-generation Toyota 4Runner may be two things that rarely happen simultaneously: an outstanding survivor example with all the right equipment and a fair deal price-wise. The 4Runner presents quite well with loads of documentation and other evidence supporting… more»
Gymkhana Suspension: 1977 Chevrolet Corvette
While it’s often said that the C4-era Chevrolet Corvette is one of the best sports/muscle car values out there, the C3 doesn’t typically get the same sort of affection. It’s often seen as more of a Saturday night cruiser,… more»
