Philly Beat: 1973 Plymouth Fury Police Car
Old police cars aren’t exactly rare, but so many of them have been restored back to original condition that it’s almost getting boring seeing them at shows. However, an unrestored police car still wearing the scars of its last… more»
Tropic Thunder: 1955 Willys Bermuda
Here’s a rare bird: a Willys Aero two-door sedan in Bermuda trim. Interestingly, this Willys is located in the same small community where I found my Toyota HiAce project, the rolling countryside of Copper Hill, Tennessee. I’m willing to… more»
All the Goodies! 1986 Dodge Omni GLH
More and more, I think the 1980s represent my favorite era of vehicles. There was just something slightly obnoxious, slightly irreverent about cars from this era – almost like they knew they were odd little upstarts, but still wanted… more»
Less Than 10,000 Miles: 1993 Mustang Cobra
Not much is said about this Fox Body Mustang that comes with the impressive Cobra package. Considered one of the first successful projects of Ford’s internal SVT division, the Cobra of the early 90s was not necessarily a sophisticated… more»
Powered by Renault: 1958 Berkeley Roadster
Buying an old race car is always such a romantic idea, especially if it’s a car you had seen racing back in the day. That’s the story this seller tells, reminiscing that he spotted this beaten-up 1958 Berkeley Roadster… more»
Near-New Apparatus: 1965 Dodge Power Wagon
It’s amazing what’s hiding away in firehouses across the USA. This 1965 Dodge Power Wagon isn’t the first low-mileage apparatus we’ve featured, but it sure is one of the nicest. With less than 12,000 original miles, this former pumper… more»
Buford’s Bus: 1968 Chevy 90 Van

Everything’s Dry in Texas: 1970 Toyota Hilux
Due to rust and relative obscurity, finding a vintage Japanese pickup in the USA is one of the more difficult project vehicle searches you can embark on – particularly if you’re looking for a nice one. Starting your search… more»
Yet Another Survivor: 5,256 Mile Buick Gran Sport
Ferraris, Austin Healeys, Porsches – these are all cars that have a logical place in a garage bay, only to be used on the sunniest and driest of days. A mid-90s Buick Regal Gran Sport Coupe? Not so much,… more»
Paid in Full: 18,000 Mile ’82 Chevy S10
The 1980s Chevy S10 always strikes a familiar chord with me. My brother had one as his first vehicle in high school, and it was a sharp blue truck with the single cab and 2WD. Paired with a 5-speed… more»
Showroom Fresh: 879 Mile 1981 DeLorean DMC12
There’s no question that the classic DeLorean DMC12 has been a collector’s item since it was new. Although it’s a fairly recent phenomenon that late-model cars like the McLaren F1 seemingly never lose their value while others are at… more»
One of 24 Left: 1971 AMC Javelin Police Car
For once, I agree with a seller’s hyperbole: this AMC Javelin is far more special than the garden-variety Camaro and Mustang police cars that show up with some frequency on classifieds sites. Said to be one of just 24… more»
Pleasingly Stock: Clean 1987 Corvette
There are some vehicles you get so used to seeing that it doesn’t necessarily occur to you that it’s been ages since a nice one has popped up for sale. Sure, 1987 Corvette, nothing to get too excited about… more»
29 Year Owner: 1982 AMC Eagle SX/4

Daily Driver Friendly: 1987 Buick GNX
It’s not often that you see a desirable car like the Buick Grand National GNX being used as a daily driver. This example up for auction and ending today has over 114,000 miles on the clock but still looks… more»
