One of 244: 1969 Shelby GT500 Convertible

Fit For A… Prime Minister? 1982 Nissan President

One of the primary drivers for my subject car selection process is the frequency of write-ups. In the past dozen or so years, I can only find 2 Barn Finds write-ups on a Nissan President. I can’t say if… more»

Family Hauler: 1979 Jeep Cherokee

In my part of the country, car show entries of classic SUVs seem to be growing. I often see Broncos, Blazers/Jimmies, and even the occasional Scout. But if you want to stand out in the classic SUV crowd, a… more»

Winter Project: 1962 Studebaker Champ

I’m often drawn to cars and trucks from some of the less popular American automakers. I’d primarily contribute that to my affinity for the less common, but I maintain they have appeal otherwise. This 1962 Studebaker Champ, for example,… more»

Matching Numbers 454! 1973 Chevrolet Corvette

Anyone else have a soft spot for the 1973 Corvette? While I still prefer the earlier C3s, the 1973 offers the appeal of a similar, but one-year only, look at a (typically) more affordable price than the 68-72 cars…. more»

47k Original Miles: 1976 Oldsmobile 98

I keep asking myself, “Why do you like this so much?” I continually answer that question with another question: “Why wouldn’t you like this?” For those of you who can answer that second question, please speak up in the… more»

Glass Galore: 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado XS

If you’re like me and into something a little less conventional, perhaps the XS option package on the late 2nd-generation Toronados fits the bill. I found this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado XS here on Craigslist in Madison, Wisconsin. The seller… more»

Sunburnt Survivor: 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Unrestored, driver-quality Corvettes seem to be just a fraction of those we see on the road. If that’s what you’ve been looking for, this C2 is worth a look. This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was sent in by a… more»

One Owner California Survivor: 1972 Capri

When I hear “Capri” my mind immediately goes to the Fox-body generation that was built from 1979 to 1986. Maybe those a little younger than me first think of the 2-door roadster built from 1991 to 1994. Even though… more»

Camper Special: 1968 Dodge W200 Power Wagon

I don’t know exactly what it is, but there’s something I find very appealing about regular-cab long-bed 4×4 trucks. Throw in 50+ years of use and a less commonly seen make and I get unjustifiably overwrought with enthusiasm. This… more»

Hot Rodded Survivor: 1985 Ford Mustang Notchback

There doesn’t seem to be a shortage of heavily modified Fox-body Mustangs, but those that are clean and low-mileage are few and far between. Even with a few simple but tasteful modifications, this 1985 Ford Mustang LX notchback still… more»

Rare 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier Van

If you want to “make the going more businesslike and more fun” as Chevrolet suggested in a 1964 ad for the same van, this 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier may be the one for you. It was sent in by… more»

One-Owner 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme T-Top

As America’s best-selling car in 1976, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect to find a market flooded with clean, original 1976 Cutlasses. It has been my experience that is most often not the case, however this 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass… more»

1-Of-94: 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix 428 HO 4-Speed!

Often when I hear “One of…” I immediately think it’s going to be something so obscure – and likely undesirable, like British Racing Green with blue interior and radio delete – that I’ve become accustomed to ignoring what makes… more»

All Original: 1968 Ford LTD 390 V8

My brother and I often wonder why full-size cars – especially one big-block equipped – like this 1968 Ford LTD haven’t achieved the same level of collectability as other classic cars. They typically make for a bargain buy, so… more»

19k Original Miles? 1973 Ford Mustang Grande

If you wanted a Mustang with a little more pizzazz in 1973, you may have opted for a Grande model. I don’t know if that’s what the original buyer of this one was looking for, but they and subsequent… more»
