Worth Restoring? 1984 Ford Mustang SVO
The Ford Mustang SVO combines a variety of attributes that make it a wonderful choice for an entry-level hobby vehicle. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have said that, as it seemed like prices were on the upswing. Indeed,… more»
5.0L V8 Swap: 1974 Jensen Healey
While it doesn’t happen every day, it’s also not without precedent that a cherished project car can end up like any other donation vehicle if the owner passes on. Of course, sometimes the owner is still alive and kicking,… more»
Final Year Bargain? 1996 Chevrolet Beretta
There’s a few things I’ve remained steadfast on over the years, and one of them is that the Chevrolet Beretta is chronically underappreciated. I know, build quality was abysmal and this entry-level model won’t light your hair on fire… more»

27K Original Miles: 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
This is a surprising find, mainly because it hasn’t sold yet. This 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is peak ZJ-era, but it’s also incredibly low mileage. The seller reports there’s just over 27,000 original miles, and if you know… more»

Mechanically Updated: 1976 FMC 2900R Turbo Diesel
Color me surprised to learn just how cool this 1976 FMC 2900R motor home. Sure, it’s interesting based on its design alone and 440 powerplant (well, it used to have a 440 powerplant), but there’s actually a lot more… more»
46K Original Miles: 1982 Maserati Quattroporte
If brute force could be expressed in sedan form, the Maserati Quattroporte would be on my short list of cars that fit the definition to the proverbial T. This stately sedan is an Italian Buick, a car capable of… more»
53K Miles: 1986 Honda Accord LX-I Survivor

1 Of 200 Made? Autoform Pontiac Firebird

1 of 97: 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
I have opined extensively on these pages about what an outstanding value the C4-chassis Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is. And for the most part, I have convinced myself that I don’t need/want one. However, when one shows up in a… more»
