Jeff’s New Project: Mini-Cars Go Kart!
Every now and again, I justify a small purchase – mostly in the form of die-cast models – by saying my toddler daughter would enjoy it. I can’t help the fact that she’s already shown an interest in automobiles,… more»

No Reserve: 1971 Dodge Charger R/T
This 1971 Dodge Charger R/T has all the hallmarks of being a junkyard rescue, a habit I’ve personally picked up over the last several years. Good cars thrown away too early, or even better, good and valuable cars that… more»

One of 407: 1978 Daimler Double Six
Years after seeing a Jaguar XJC on Cape Cod, it remains one of my favorite British cars. Admittedly, pillar-less coupes are a difficult design to resist, and these days, they’re an endangered species. This Daimler Double Six is a… more»

Stack ‘Em High: Datsun 240Z Series 1 Projects
There are days when I feel like my garage is truly too small. Well, it is – when it doesn’t have too many cars jammed into its 2.5 car footprint, it’s over-stuffed with parts I might need “someday.” This… more»

Untouched Since ’76: 1958 Porsche 356
What a wonderful car: a 1958 Porsche 356 coupe, parked in a northern California garage in 1976 due to a faulty clutch – and not moved until recently. The 356 remains in excellent, survivor-grade condition and is now a… more»

OG Paint: 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302
This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 maintains its original paint and impressively low mileage of just 36,000. The seller notes it remained with one owner through 2014, and has made stops with two additional owners since then. The mechanical… more»

Arizona Dry: 1972 Datsun 240Z
Color me amazed to see the bids flowing in for this poorly-photographed 1972 Datsun 240Z, which is said to be an Arizona car with minimal rust. While it’s hard to get the full picture of its condition, the orange… more»

Magazine Car: 1984 Pontiac Trans Am
This 1984 Pontiac Trans Am is a former magazine feature car that remains in a nicely preserved state with some desirable options. Mileage is a tick below 50,000 and the paint looks quite nice – I especially like the… more»

Gold Edition: 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano
If I were more adventurous, I’d dip a toe into the well of Italian car ownership with an Alfa Romeo Milano, as seen here in rust-free condition with under 70,000 miles. The Milanos were a compelling alternative to the… more»

55,000 Mile Survivor: 1963 Studebaker Avanti R-1
The Studebaker Avantis come up for sale with some regularity, but more often that not, they are the less desirable later cars or fairly haggard R-1 projects. This example is neither of those, as it’s a desirable R-1 in… more»

One of 544: 1987 Chevy Camaro Z28 Convertible
To some extent, the listing for this 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 convertible gets into the weeds of what makes a car rarer than the next, or when options begin to make a vehicle a one-of-nine or other variables that… more»

Ragtop Oval: 1955 Volkswagen Beetle
Since the listing says nothing about a repaint, I have to believe this is at least a partially original oval window Volkswagen Beetle. It looks too good to be true, but given bidding is over $15K with several days… more»

Parked For 10 Years: 1982 DeLorean DMC-12
To me, DeLoreans are a conundrum. I get that there’s a loyal fan base, but their values seem to fluctuate greatly depending on whether there’s a buyer in the room who has decided this is the week to own… more»
