BF Auction: 1956 Ford Thunderbird

This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is a stunning classic that has led a sheltered life. It presents superbly and features the range-topping V8 under the hood. The current owner has been its custodian for six years, and has kept the… more»

86k Original Miles: 1959 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan

One of the problems with automotive history is that it has produced some incredible cars. In fact, there are so many that even picking a favorite decade can be challenging. Enthusiasts preferring the distinctive styling of the 1950s may… more»

Running Project: 1971 Chevelle Malibu

Chevrolet treated the 1971 Chevelle to a styling refresh, its third since a redesign of the A-body intermediate in 1968. Gone were the dual headlights the Chevelle had carried from Day 1, replaced by large, singular peepers on each… more»

Big Block Bruiser: 1972 Dodge Demon

The Dart Demon was Dodge’s version of Plymouth’s popular Duster fastback compact. The car didn’t sell as well as its alter ego in 1971-72, so Dodge did a rebrand in 1973 to the less aggressive-sounding Dart Sport. The seller… more»

Grandma Car: 1964 Pontiac Tempest Post

In 1964, Pontiac promoted the Tempest from compact to mid-size to join other General Motors products in the “new” intermediate market. Ford had started the ball rolling in 1962 by downsizing its Fairlane into a slot between the Falcon… more»

LS Upgrade: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible

Well-executed restomods can offer enthusiasts the best of both worlds. The creator can retain a classic’s inherent charm and desirability, while mechanical upgrades will often improve safety and performance. Such is the case with this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu… more»

Single Family Project: 1975 Chevrolet Nova

The Chevy II/Nova was one of Chevrolet’s best-selling nameplates. From 1962 to 1979, some 4.7 million copies of the rear-wheel-drive compact rolled off GM assembly lines. And that doesn’t include the clones that Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile fielded in… more»

No Reserve 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau

Not to besmirch the respectable Thunderbird name, but in my opinion, the T-Bird lost a little exclusivity after it abandoned the unibody architecture it shared with its assembly-line mate, the Lincoln Continental. Sure, post-1966 T-Birds were sought after models… more»

Nicest One Left? 1970 Plymouth Satellite

In 1965, the Chrysler B-body platform officially became a mid-size car after the full-size Dodges and Plymouths had erroneously been downsized in 1962. Also in ’65, the Satellite joined the roster as an upscale version of the Belvedere. The… more»

Shrunken Tri-Five: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

With such a large number of Chevrolet Tri-Fives that were produced over a three-year period, there probably aren’t many modifications left that somebody hasn’t thought of already.  We’ve seen lots of cool customs and Restomods over the years, and… more»

The Swiftabusa: 1989 Suzuki Swift GTI

When people build absolutely bonkers cars, it’s enormously satisfying to see them in real life. Now, we’re all pretty accustomed to builds that start with a $100,000 car and make it even more ridiculous, but honestly, that’s an entirely… more»

Fairey Overdrive Equipped: 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser

The FJ60-series Toyota Land Cruiser may seem like an archaic truck by today’s standards, but it was a significant step forward for a classic SUV that could now be used as a daily driver. The Land Cruiser was always… more»

1 of 526: 1969 Chevrolet Caprice 427 V8

Chevrolet introduced the Caprice in mid-1965 to compete with Ford’s surprisingly popular LTD. Just as the LTD was a gussied-up Galaxie 500, the Caprice was an Impala under all the glitter. It, too, became a big seller and would… more»

340-Equipped: 1969 Dodge Dart GTS

If total originality isn’t a driving factor behind your classic selection and you favor a slice of Mopar muscle, this 1969 Dodge Dart GTS could be your weapon of choice. It features what the seller describes as driver-quality paint,… more»

Original 396: 1966 Chevrolet Caprice

Ah, the 1960s. It was a decade where manufacturers were willing to bolt potent engines under the hoods of cars to create muscular classics. This 1966 Chevrolet Caprice demonstrates this dramatically because the first owner ordered it with a… more»

New Interior: 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

Interior retrims can be a costly part of any project build, but the seller has removed that expense from the equation with this 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. It is in good mechanical health, requiring an exterior refresh to present… more»
