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»

Dry 21 Window: 1967 Volkswagen Samba

We all endeavor to utter the words, “Find of a lifetime” someday. It’s different for all of us: some folks may pine to find a barn full of American muscle, while others may seek a stash of microcars. If… more»

19,000 Original Miles: 1993 Dodge Dynasty

The Dodge Dynasty is an otherwise forgettable car from the 1990s, saddled with conservative styling and hum-drum driving dynamics. But finding one with just 19,000 miles is worth taking a look at, as this car is effectively showroom new…. more»

No Rust Bubbles: 1979 Dodge Magnum

While this Dodge Magnum looks tough with its original, worn-off paint and wide wheels and tires, don’t get too excited: the rolling stock it sits on isn’t included in the sale. If your enthusiasm hasn’t been curbed too much… more»

Baja 1000 Chase Truck: 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser

Most of the tricked out Land Cruisers we see hail from Australia or Japan; this particular FJ60 was customized right here in the states for the purpose of serving as a chase truck for the running of the Baja… more»

FJ Hoarding: Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 Collection

I swear, someone in the universe heard me going on and on about vintage Japanese 4x4s and now it seems every post is encouraging me to take the plunge onto yet another vehicle segment I know nothing about. This… more»

Shorty Style: 1978 Chevrolet G20

Shorty vans will always make for an interesting project, as they represent a segment of classic vehicles that hasn’t ever been duplicated. The short wheel base and frequency with which they were customized in any number of ways will… more»

Warehouse Find: 1983 Porsche 911 SC

This 1983 Porsche 911 SC has been stored for 17 years, parked on a hardwood floor in a climate-controlled warehouse. There’s no engine but the seller feels the clean condition of the body and interior should more than make… more»

Brooke Astor Owned: 1973 Opel Manta

While the rest of the world gets excited about the British Royal Family, we here in the states tend to idolize captains of industry, or at least those folks who have seemingly been wealthiest the longest. The Astor family,… more»

Club Sport Homage: 1988 Porsche 924 Special Edition

While Porsche’s 924 is a car that can easily be overlooked by enthusiasts due to sitting at the low end of the totem pole, there were a few special editions that made it stand out a bit more –… more»

Spyder Package: 1980 Chevy Monza

This is a new one for me, as I can’t recall seeing a Monza Spyder featured on these pages in recent memory. More than that, I had to educate myself on what exactly a Monza was. The skeptic in… more»

Import Fighter: 1978 Dodge Challenger

I’ve always dug these “captive import” Dodge Challengers, and was sorely tempted by one in the Georgia stash I wrote about last week as a Barn Finds Exclusive. This Challenger is in slightly better condition (ha!) as a running,… more»
