GT 5 Speed With 17K Miles: 1989 Chevy Beretta

The Chevy Beretta has long been captured in a debate about its merits; was it ever a formidable import fighter? Could the GTUs and GTZs offer a cheap alternative to a BMW M3? Who knows (probably not), but if… more»

First One Built: 1985 Oldsmobile Calais

The phenomenon of the number one car off the assembly line is an interesting one. Does it add value? Sure, if it’s the right car, like a limited production Shelby or Porsche 911. But for everything else, does it… more»

1,400 Miles From New: 1976 MGB

In times long past, British car manufacturers had a presence in the United States.  While they never challenged Detroit for dominance of the market, they did a good job of filling niches in the market that Detroit likely found… more»

1981 BMW M1 – 8,000 original miles

Though not found in a barn, this 1981 BMW M1 (one of 430) has been stored somewhere (perhaps in a barn) most of its life and accumulated fewer than 8,000 original miles on its original tires! It also comes… more»

The Cars from Hershey AACA Fall Swap Meet 2017

In the first installment of the AACA Fall Swap Meet, I covered some of my favorite items from the “flea market.” As Hershey winds down, more cars seem to trickle in, and on my last day there quite a… more»

The Art of the Humblebrag: 1984 Peugeot 505 STI

This ’84 Peugeot is an interesting car in its own right, but mostly I’m just amused by this ad. Specifying that the owner would “prefer to sell to [a] French car enthusiast,” the photos go to great pains to… more»

Supercharged Garage Find Uncovered

Stashed away in this garage is a supercharged survivor that has been hidden away for a number of years. The seller doesn’t say just how long it sat in here under this car cover, but based on all the… more»

Survivor ‘Bird: 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6

The Firebird name was associated with muscle and Molly Hatchet for almost all generations, and the nameplate carried on into 2002 at which point the Firebird was no more. While first, second, and fourth generation Firebirds are not uncommon… more»

Big Fish in a Quirky Pond: 1966 AMC Marlin

The American Motors Corporation is largely remembered today for its (ahem) quirkier products—think Pacer, Gremlin, AMX, and Eagle—and while they tend to have a somewhat dorky reputation, each of these cars contained some ingenuity in their design, showing what a… more»

Seldom Seen: 36,000 Mile 1980 Camaro Z28

While Camaros of this era aren’t uncommon, they aren’t usually this nice and original! Though this Z28 isn’t showroom quality, it certainly is in the best condition expected considering age and the minor use it has seen. Though 36,000… more»

Rare Rig: 1937 Studebaker J5 Coupe Express

This is what you get when you cross a Dictator and a pickup. It’s not the first sedan-based pickup, but it was introduced years before the Hudson Pickup, the El Camino and other car-based trucks. They didn’t sell well and… more»

G-Body Survivor: 1987 Oldsmobile 442

The GM G-body is a polarizing vehicle; either you love it or you hate it! While these cars aren’t for everyone, those who appreciate them simply can’t get enough of them. Revived in 1985, the 442 name carried on… more»

When Indy Pace Cars Mattered: 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Indy Pace Car

For many of us, watching the annual Indianapolis 500 has been a ritual.  As the race grew in popularity from its inception, more and more people took time out of their lives to listen to, watch on television, and,… more»

Near Perfect Wagon: 1980 Datsun 510

“Near perfect” is a strong description for this clean 1980 Datsun 510 wagon, but it may not be too much of an exaggeration. Mileage is low at 47,000 and the seller claims there is no rust – a rarity… more»

Never This Nice: 1985 Dodge Caravan

Bear with me: a Dodge Caravan? Well, considering how iconic these 1980s people-movers were, I don’t think they’re ineligible from being featured here. Especially examples that are as nice as this one, and evidently shared garage storage with a… more»
