4-Speed, Please: 1968 Oldsmobile 442

This 1968 Oldsmobile 442 here on craigslist is located in sunny San Diego – except the listing shows it in a dark, mysterious setting, in what appears to be a missionary-style home with an open-air garage. The 442 is… more»

Cheap Lamborghini Diablo Anyone?

Ran When Parked: 1969 VW Beetle Convertible

1971 Shala Vette Revisited

Beautiful Barn Find: 1954 Bentley R-Type

Only 2,323 Bentley R-Type saloons were made in Crewe, Great Britain from 1952 to 1954. It’s safe to say that not very many of them have the sunroof option, and fewer still have made their way to America. So… more»

Another MGA: Complete But Rusty

Buried MGA treasure seems to be everywhere – Robert recently found us a rough 1959 MGA from Texas, which looked a lot like the twin to this much rustier, but possibly more complete MGA from Bennington, Vermont. The Texas… more»
