1972 GMC Suburban 3-Door: Gonna Sell ‘Em All
A 3-door Suburban is fairly high on my list of “Never seen one” specials, and this 1972 example here on eBay comes from a seller who claims to be unloading an expansive collection of vehicles and parts. Frankly, I’m… more»
1968 Oldsmobile Toronado: Navy Orphan
It’s hard to believe that you could once buy an Oldsmobile with 7.5 liters of V8 brawn under the hood, especially as the Big 3 increasingly turn to turbocharging and smaller displacement motors to win modern buyers over. This 1968… more»
1968 Ford Mustang Coupe: Needs A Welder

Big Block But Rough: 1974 Corvette
It’s certainly not going to win any shows at the moment, apart from the Concours D’LeMons, but this 1974 Corvette big block must have been loved at some point. It has been modified at some point in the past… more»
What A Bargain: 1969 Rover 2000 TC for $1,000
I see a lot of cars that terrific readers send in, and every once in a while I am sorely, sorely tempted to buy the car rather than write about it. This is the second-most intense feeling I’ve had… more»
1962 Chevy Corvette: Red Dust
Is there anything better than seeing a beautiful shape like this ’62 Corvette here on craigslist covered in barn dust? Well, the only thing better may be just how gorgeous this car is with the dust rinsed off. Discovered by Barn… more»
1974 Pontiac Firebird: Down But Not Out
Upon first looking at the eBay listing for this 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455, I thought this was going to be a total basketcase. It’s close, but I think it’s worth bringing back even in its rough condition. The… more»

Louisiana Lot: Collection Wind-Down
There are days when I imagine it’s a burden to own a lot of cars. Especially if you’ve been collecting for many years and maybe want to downsize. I don’t know the motivations, but there’s a collection of parts… more»
No Major Holes: Alfa Romeo GTV
This “garage find” Alfa has obviously been off the road for a while. The seller says it runs, but the brakes and clutch are not working. They also state “no major holes” in the advertisement here on eBay. Jim… more»
13 Days of Diesel: Mercedes Oil Burner Sale
This listing confused me at first: it’s posted here on craigslist in the UK, but clearly the cars are in the U.S. based on the background surroundings. Turns out they are, so maybe this seller in Houston thinks UK… more»
M For Magic? 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
An “M” code early 60’s Thunderbird meant a TriPower carburetor setup and special cylinder heads. It was only fitted to Thunderbirds from January 1962 through January 1963, and wasn’t even listed in the factory “1963 Ford Buyers Digest” according… more»
