Right Maintenance: 1966 Pontiac GTO

This Goat was found in Philadelphia and was purchased from the second owners who supposedly couldn’t provide the “right maintenance”. Well, the new owner apparently thinks they provided it by getting it running and so they are now selling it on. I’m guessing… more»

1967 Pontiac GTO for $1,800

One of readers just sent in this GTO and showed concern as to why it was cheap. I’m guessing that there is no engine and it’s got some rot, but you never know. If someone hasn’t purchased it already, you… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1974 Camaro Z/28

Potential Bargain: 1964 Chevrolet Corvair

The photos of this 1964 Corvair caught my eye, but the seller’s listing was a bit of a let down. The only words in the description are, “Car is being sold as is. Please email with any questions.” Wow,… more»

Deceiving Dust: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette presents a good question – can a restored car qualify as a barn find? This one looks pretty dusty in the photos, but it actually underwent a frame-off restoration at some point in its recent past…. more»

Barebones Barn Find: 1972 Chevrolet Nova

Just the other day I was thinking that it would be fun to pick up a barebones Nova. You know, something with a 350, 4-speed, bench seat, and dog-dish hubcaps. This particular example doesn’t check all my boxes, but… more»

Economical Classic: 1962 Ford Falcon

Original Paint: 1963 Mercury Comet Wagon

Budget Big-Block: 1969 Mercury Marauder X-100

Here’s one I was seriously considering for myself! It’s a 1969 Mercury Marauder and although the seller doesn’t provide many details, it appears to be a X-100. The X-100 was the sporty version of Mercury’s full-sized Marauder. Well, sporty might not be… more»
