Junkyard Find: 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country Wagon

The 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country is one of those wagons that seemed to get everything just right, offering a high level of luxury for passenger comfort plus a powerful V8 under the hood for the driver… more»

Stored 29 Years: 1962 Studebaker Lark

The merger between Studebaker and Packard did not go well in the mid-1950s, so the company needed a new product to help save it. And that came in the form of the Lark “compact” in 1959. Which helped boost… more»

Stored 21 Years: 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible

The successful Ford Mustang was treated to its first restyle in 1967, adding to the engine compartment space to finally accommodate big-block engines. But competition had entered the market space, so Mustang sales would begin to taper off. This… more»

500HP AWD 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T

Dodge’s partnership with Mitsubishi yielded a Dodge-badged twin to the Mitsu’ 3000GT called Stealth. There’s nothing stealthy about the chrome wheels and polished Arrest Me Red paint on this 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T. The Fayetteville, North Carolina sportster boasts… more»

Put An LS In It? 1969 Buick Gran Sport

Here’s an interesting one. It’s a 1969 Buick GS 350 – sans the 350. It’s being sold without its prime mover so the next owner can trip the light fantastic when it comes to repowering this steed. I have… more»

BF Auction: 1951 Packard Patrician 400

Packard entered 1951 with a range of vehicles representing its first genuine post-war new models. The Patrician 400 Sedan was its “senior” offering, with the company finding homes for 9,001 of these classics during the first production year. The… more»

Real Barn Find: 1972 Ford Mustang Mach I

The 1971-73 Mustang Mach I scores plenty of points in the looks department, with that cool Sportsroof stance making the pony appear aggressive from just about any outside angle.  However, by this time, muscle car desirability was starting to… more»

Runs and Drives! 1948 Packard Super Eight Sedan

Pity poor Packard. From its founding in 1899, it rose to prominence in the 1920s and ’30s making luxury cars for wealthy customers. But the Great Depression dealt it a near-fatal blow, and the rise of Ford and GM… more»

1977 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 Flareside 460 V8

I’m a big fan of “the first” or “the last” of anything related to vehicles. I tell myself that they’re worth more and potential collector vehicles and sometimes that gets me into trouble as I try to find enough… more»

1 of 370: 1970 Dodge Super Bee Project

The Super Bee was to Dodge as the Road Runner was to Plymouth. Both were budget-minded muscle cars, with the latter being more successful sales-wise. Super Bee production lasted just four years (1968 to 1971) though the nameplate would… more»

Snowbird Project: 1956 Bentley S1

Like the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, the Bentley S1 was a luxurious car befitting the lifestyles of the rich and famous. So, it’s a shame to see one from 1956 languishing in a driveway, exposed to the elements including snow… more»

BF Exclusive: 1971 Peugeot 504 Sedan

Peugeot enjoyed a reputation during the 1960s and 1970s for producing some of the most rugged and dependable vehicles to emerge from a European production line. This 1971 504 Sedan is no exception and could serve its new owner… more»

Epic Project! 1950 Marmon-Herrington Motorhome

Let’s see…. you have a vintage Marmon-Herrington bus lying around – hmm, what to do with it? How about converting it to a motorhome! Here on eBay is a 1950 Marmon-Herrington made into a 28-foot RV, complete with a… more»

Still in the Barn: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Perceiving a market need between full-size Impala and compact Nova, Chevrolet introduced a mid-size car in 1964. That was the Chevelle, but it was not the first product of its type (Ford got there ahead with the downsized Fairlane… more»

Cheap Club Coupe: 1960 Ford Galaxie

I chose this rather forlorn-looking 1960 Ford Galaxie Club Coupe because I didn’t know such a model existed. I wrongly assumed that a Club Coupe, which is a two-door sedan, would be the provenance of the Fairlane 500 or… more»

Mostly Solid Survivor: 1962 Studebaker Champ

The Champ was a light-duty pickup built and sold by Studebaker from 1960 to 1964. It competed with the likes of the Ford F-100 and Chevy C-10. Like the Avanti and Gran Turismo, the Champ was dropped in late… more»
