Museum Quality: 1991 Isuzu Trooper

I hate to give things away, but as I’ve been alluding to recently, I’ve got my sights set on a vintage Japanese 4×4 project, and it’s damn close to this incredible Isuzu Trooper said to be a museum quality… more»

One of 1118: Pontiac Grand Prix Aero Coupe

You don’t have to look too far to see the Aero Coupe referred to as the “Superbird of the 80s.” Similar to all those basketball cards I have gathering dust in the basement, the value rise predicted by pundits… more»

Exclusive: 1964 Ford F100 Pickup

As some of you likely know, I am helping to clear out a large collection of salvage and project vehicles from a private owner. You can read more about the collection here. As we move ahead with the process,… more»

COE Graveyard: 1971 Brockway N4571

Cab-over-engine designs still look great to me years later, no matter what era they were made. This is a somewhat rare Brockway, which hails from Cortland, New York, where it was likely originally manufactured. Now residing somewhere near Zanesville,… more»

Some Assembly Required: LT1 Trans Am Project

Picking up the pieces of someone else’s project is always a risk, but if the price is low enough, some might say it’s worth taking the chance. This pair of Firebirds includes an LT1-powered Trans Am that certainly has… more»

Built for 500 BHP: 1979 Mazda RX7 Widebody

With its tiny rotary motor now likely sitting on the bottom of a riverbed, tethering a boat to the basin below, this 1979 Mazda RX7 barely resembles the slight sports car it once was. With a significantly flared body… more»

Station Wagon Alternative: Land Rover Defender 110 County

There’s a robust market for importing the Land Rovers that never came stateside, typically the longer wheelbase models with a few extra doors attached. This 1988 Land Rover Defender is a four-door body with the County package option, and… more»

Used Car Lot Find: 1999 Ford Mustang Saleen

I don’t recommend buying performance cars anywhere other than a specialist shop with a PPI in hand, but it’s so damn tempting to take a chance on a special car sitting at what appears to be a small used… more»

WWII Equipment: 1943 Ford Burma Jeep

When we think of vintage military vehicles, the ubiquitous Willys Jeep comes to mind, along with the Dodge Power Wagon. Even Volkswagen’s amphibious vehicles more readily come into view, but less thought of is Ford’s entry to the mix…. more»

Early Model Bug: 1965 VW Beetle

While Beetles are the proverbial dime a dozen, the early models are standouts in more than a few ways. For one thing, they tend to be worth a bit more; for another, their parts are generally more valuable, too…. more»

BF Exclusive: 1949 Willys Jeep

As some of you likely know, I am helping to clear out a large collection of salvage and project vehicles from a private owner. You can read more about the collection here. As we move ahead with the process,… more»

16K Miles from New: 1979 Ford Mustang Cobra

Even if a car is a benchmark vehicle, does it demand a price tag well above market? That’s the question for any potential buyers of this 1979 Ford Mustang Cobra, which has just 16,112 miles from new. This early… more»

One Year Import: 1980 Rover 3500SD

This V8-powered Rover 3500SD is one of just a few hundred sold on our shores as a U.S.-market model. The exposed headlights and larger bumpers are tell-tale signs that this is a one-year-only version as the car was quickly… more»

Tiara Conversion: 1993 Chevrolet G20 Hightop

One of the sad facts of life is that Chevy and GMC G20-based conversion vans tend to age poorly. Perhaps it’s because they begin getting used as portable homeless shelters by the time their values plummet, or maybe their… more»

Carolina Dealers Edition: 1989 Ford Mustang GT

One of the dumbest ads I see on TV locally is for the Ford “New England Edition” F150. Stickers and a few badges do not make it a New England Edition; no, the truck would need to be completely… more»

Original Paint: 1969 Nissan Patrol

You’d be forgiven for forgetting Nissan actually sold a robust FJ40 fighter here in the states, as the Patrol remains on a fairly obscure page in the history of Japanese Jeep fighters. They also have a stunningly similar profile… more»
