Firenza Package: 1979 Oldsmobile Starfire

RHD JDM-Spec: 1970 Datsun Fairlady

Woody Conversion: 1966 Volkswagen Beetle

The era in which Volkswagen Beetles were modified with a “woody” body over the rear quarters has long since passed, and relatively few remain in road-going condition today. The seller claims this example was one of a handful converted… more»

Jeff in the Junkyard: Eastern Shore Finds

As some of our long-time readers know, I used to spend a fair amount of time stomping around junkyards on the weekends. Well, having a child greatly limits your free time (at least initially, until they can join you),… more»

Oval Window Rag Top: 1956 VW Beetle

This 1956 Volkswagen Beetle is a desirable oval window example, which denotes its status as an early model with many of the details enthusiasts tend to swoon over. This one even comes with the period-cool sliding canvas sunroof and… more»

Rusty But Worthy: 1963 BMW 3200

Rare Notchback: 1985 Toyota Celica GT

The notchback body is a curious thing, as we tend to get excited when we spot them, whether attached to a Mustang or a Celica, like this 1985 model. Typically, these vehicles are available as a hatchback and sold… more»

5-Speed V8: 1986 Pontiac Firebird S/E

Ex-Australian Fire Brigade: 1991 Ford Maverick
