Built Bargain: 1980 Dodge Aspen R/T

Cheap Metal Bumper B: 1974 MGB Roadster
Note: This craigslist listing for the MGB has been replaced with one for a Toyota and I can’t explain that one – maybe it was too good to be true. JO Former Vice-President Thomas Marshall (1913-1921) famously declared, “What… more»

1951 Jaguar XK120 Sitting Since ’57
My BF colleagues and I have covered a lot of Jaguar XK120s (’48-’54) and the one thing that most have had in common is their condition, they’re either dilapidated projects or just plain dilapidated. Today’s find, courtesy of Chuck… more»

Super Sharp! 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

Four-Door Fun! 1966 Ford Fairlane 500
It’s unusual today to think of a time when ordinary commodity cars, such as a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 came in either two or four-door body styles. And in the ’60s, two-door models of everything were big sellers. Today,… more»

Baja Bomber? 1971 Chevrolet Blazer
I’m not sure what to make of this 1971 Chevrolet Blazer. It’s a Mexican barn find and appears to have been prepped for a Baja 500 run. It’s a bit banged up, as one would expect in the case… more»

1950 Chrysler Windsor With “Presto-Matic”
THIS is a Chrysler! I have opined before about the events that have reduced this iconic brand, and corporate namesake, to a minivan and an eighteen-year-old four-door sedan several times before. Yes, it’s a bit of a rant, but… more»

Still In The Family: 1969 Chevrolet Impala
Often sellers will try to make a big deal about a one-family-owned car when, in reality, only some twisted variation on “Ancestry” would prove that to be true. Today’s subject car, a 1969 Chevrolet Impala convertible, however, is legitimate… more»

Bullit Imitator? 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
The seller of this 1968 Mustang states, “1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Manual C Code Highland Green with Upgrades“. The whole “Bullit” reference is my doing, though he does sneak in the single-word reference, once, deeper in the listing. But,… more»

The Economical Maserati? 1975 Merak
I am learning that I don’t know my Maseratis (and there’s a lot of other car stuff that I don’t know either), but the Merak (’72-’83) is a new one for me. I’m familiar with the Bora but don’t… more»

One Of 27? 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
Car enthusiasts are quick to tell potential acquirers that their steed is a one of sumpthin, I guess with the pretext of supposed rarity and justification of their likely outsized price. Take today’s discovery, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1,… more»

1956 Plymouth Suburban With “Hy-Fire” V8 Power

1967 Canadian-Sourced Chevrolet Chevelle SS396
Normally, I wouldn’t cover a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 (and I used to own one like this!). They, like certain Mopars, are just over-covered, there’s nothing new under the sun that can be said about them. It would take… more»

No Reserve Ranger XLT: 1979 Ford Bronco
We cover the Holy Grail of Ford Broncos (’66-’77) pretty thoroughly here on BF. But what about the BIG Bronco that followed? Well, we feature those extensively too but they just don’t have the draw that the smaller, simpler… more»

Out Of The Barn: 1969 Ford 428 Cobra
