Cheap French Commuter: 1959 Renault Dauphine

Hurst Hauler: 1966 Pontiac Bonneville Station Wagon

Parked for 25 Years: Corvette Collector Edition

The Collector Edition C3 Corvette is a bit of an anomaly, as the packaging essentially amounted to special wheels and colors, and over 6,000 were sold. Featuring “unlimited availability,” you can still find nearly new ones for sale today…. more»

Rare Convertible? 1964 Chrysler 300

One Of 750: 1987 Shelby CSX

In addition to looking worn out and battered, this 1987 Dodge CSX Shelby edition is missing its original turbocharged powerplant and doesn’t currently run. It’s hard to imagine a car emblazoned with the name Shelby could have lead such… more»

BF AUCTION: 1959 Plymouth Belvedere Project

Field Fresh Wagon: 1959 Edsel Villager

Though disliked by many for quite some time, Edsels are rising in both coolness and popularity. Being affordable projects while also being fairly obscure in the modern world are the two main reasons for this. While and Edsel project… more»

Pint-Sized Rolls-Royce: 1974 Volkswagen Beetle

Paging Tommy Chong! Alright, so this is a little more in-depth than Anthony Stoner attaching the grille from his parents’ Rolls-Royce to the front of his Beetle in Up In Smoke, but the sentiment is the same. Though these types… more»

Luscious Luce: 1972 Mazda 1800

Ok, maybe luscious isn’t quite the perfect word to describe this fantastically-rare and cool 1972 Mazda 1800. Lively? No, with a 0-60 time of 16 seconds, there may not be much zoom-zoom in this one. But, this is one… more»

Boosted, Literally: $550 Chrysler Maserati

Mucho Macho: 1979 Dodge Power Wagon

This tough mudder is a 1979 Dodge Power Wagon “Macho” edition. It’s one of the trucks from Dodge’s “Adult Toys” series from the late-70s. This cool project truck is on Craigslist in Fargo, North Dakota with an asking price… more»

Bring (Old) Money: 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190D Wagon

$1,500 & Rust-Free! 1984 Mazda 626 LX

The Mazda Capella was known as the 626 in markets outside of Japan and these sleek third-generation cars, manufactured from late-1982 to 1987, were quite a change from the somewhat-frumpy-but-lovable second-generation cars. This great-looking 1984 Mazda 626 LX is… more»

The Ultimate Omni: 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T

The Dodge Omni GLH is revered in enthusiast circles; the GLH-T even more so. Clearly, these cars are disappearing at a furious rate, so preserving the ones that are left is a priority. However, this 1985 GLH-T is quite… more»

Beetle Body Snatcher: 1976 Invader GT IV
