38k Original Miles: 1960 Volkswagen Beetle
Automotive history is littered with cars that changed the face of motoring, from the Ford Model T to the Mustang. However, the Volkswagen Beetle stands out because over twenty-one million of these little classics prowled the planet’s roads by… more»
Rare 4-Seater: 1967 Meyers Manx Resorter
I have been fortunate enough to drive some desirable classics, but one that has so far slipped through the net has been a Dune Buggy. This is frustrating because those who have slipped behind the wheel typically talk about… more»
Lovely Lark! 1961 Studebaker Station Wagon
We’ve seen how popular old station wagons have become. Some of that may be because we have fond memories as kids banging around in the suburbs while sliding around in the rear-facing third seat and gazing at the passing… more»
Big Block Manual! 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
Oversize tires give this Suburban a burly presence. These commodious workhorses gobble up hundreds of thousands of miles on the highways and rough roads of the world. Legendary reliability (if you can forgive some squeaks and rattles) makes the… more»
BF Auction: No Reserve 1998 BMW Z3 2.8
After owning a couple Porsche Boxsters, we thought we would give another iconic modern roadster, the BMW Z3, a try. If the Boxster is underrated, the Z3 is a wildly underappreciated gem. It offers excellent performance and fun handling,… more»
BF Auction: No Reserve 1967 Chevrolet C10

25K Original Miles? 1994 Chrysler Town & Country

Basic Beauty: 1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
When I think of a mid-seventies Chevrolet Monte Carlo, one of the first things that comes to mind is a well-trimmed exterior, probably with a vinyl top, fancy wheels, and perhaps even a pinstripe down the side. Is it… more»
Column Shift? 1972 Chevrolet Camaro RS
Styling is always subjective. I remember when the second-gen Chevrolet Camaro (’70-’81) was introduced in February of ’70, and I was, at first, very on the fence with the design. I came to like the first four years, tolerated… more»
30K Mile V10: 1995 Dodge Ram 4×4
One of the more significant let-downs of my adult life is seeing how the original Twister movie was corrupted by yet another cheap attempt to re-bottle up the magic that made the first iteration so great. It was a… more»
Red on Red RS: 1991 Chevrolet Camaro
You can joke all you want about Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds that aren’t the preferred enthusiast spec being hairdresser cars, as if the only way to buy a Camaro like this is with a manual gearbox and firm… more»
