Driver-Quality 1974 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

Red 425 V8: 1966 Buick Wildcat Custom

For most of the 1960s, the Wildcat was Buick’s performance-oriented full-size car. With a name like that, you would think it was available only as a coupe or convertible, but 4-door models were also available (for the family man… more»

Crate 302: 1969 Ford Ranchero

I admit I never understood the appeal of classics like this 1969 Ford Ranchero until I bought an Australian Ford Falcon Ute as a daily driver and tow vehicle for my race car. I kept the Falcon long after… more»

Hemi Orange Project: 1971 Plymouth GTX

Running Project: 1964 Chrysler Newport

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Newport was Chrysler’s entry-level car. But it was far from being austere, representing nearly 60% of Chrysler-branded sales in 1964 alone. Wearing all-new sheet metal in 1963, the Newport was little changed going… more»

50k Original Miles: 1972 Buick Gran Sport 455 Stage 1

Original 440/4-Speed: 1968 Plymouth GTX
