396-375HP? 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Yet another SS396 Chevelle? Yes, it is, another 1970 model that’s looking pretty shaky. But the seller claims that this is one of 2,144 built in ’70 with RPO L78 which was a 375 HP, 396 CI V8. Is… more»

One Of 328! Restored 1956 AC Aceca

Spectacular Survivor: 1972 Buick Skylark

Reduced To Parts: 1937 Chrysler Airflow

“Car is fully GUARANTEED!” proclaims the seller. Then adds, “Guaranteed not to run, start, idle, move, make a sound, period“. No point in beating around the bush, right? In spite of that warning, a 1937 Chrysler Airflow is always… more»

Needs A Large Home: 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood

What’s in a name? With old cars, a lot, and it’s often confusing. Frequently I find sellers who get the model name and/or trim level completely wrong – the model year sometimes too. Those types of errors occur most… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1956 Continental Mark II

A domestic luxury model, only 3,000 built, mostly hand-assembled and considered to be a Rolls Royce competitor, a Lincoln Continental Mark II? No, actually it’s a Lincoln Continental Mark II, and in this case a 1956 example. A tremendous… more»

Former Race Car: 1966 Ford Mustang

California Garage Find: 1967 Mercedes 230 SL

Talk about a tight fit! This initial shot of a 1967 Mercedes 230 SL reveals pretty tight quarters but this Benz looks like it’s in right nice shape. There’s little, to almost no detail via the listing, and only… more»

Oval Window Edition: 1957 Volkswagen Type 1

It seems so formal to refer to a Volkswagen Beetle as a “Type 1”. C’mon, it’s just a Beetle, or a Bug, one of 21M produced worldwide from 1938 through 2003. The VW Type 1 had a significant and… more»

Bent Window! 1954 Porsche 356 Pre “A”
