Rolled Runner: 1958 Panhard Dyna Z

We have featured a couple of these quirky little French cars before, but none have looked quite like this! The car appears to have actually been in decent shape before the roll-over incident. The seller mentions that the engine… more»

1985 Lamborghini Countach: Midwest Barn Find

Somewhere on a Midwest farm, this Lamborghini Countach slumbered in an old barn for 15 years. To think a rare European spec Quattrovalvole was just parked in this barn and forgotten! Not only is this car a carbureted 5000 QV, it has… more»

1969 Mercury Marauder X100: Crazy Paint

I remember when the Marauder nameplate made its re-entry to the market in the early 2000s; it was big, black and imposing. It went after a different consumer, however, than what the original concept set out to capture. This… more»

1968 Camaro: Sleeper Pony

While most Camaro fans dream of owning an SS with a big block or a Z/28, I wouldn’t mind finding a base Camaro with a V8. This car might be just what I’m looking for, as it left the factory… more»

Barn-Parked Since 1976: 1951 Henry J

America wasn’t really ready for a sensible compact car that was reliable and got (for the day) good gas mileage. So goes the story of the Henry J and Allstate, basic small transportation that just didn’t catch on the… more»

1973 Volvo 1800ES: Kicked Outside

Much like the displaced Mercedes-Benz 450SL entry from earlier this week, this once-cherished 1973 Volvo 1800ES on eBay found itself outside after the owners couldn’t keep it running. A sad tale, because the seller’s mention of how much the car was… more»

Better Hurry: 1966 Jaguar S-Type

1942 Lincoln V12 Sedan: The Glory Days

Every time a Lincoln commercial spills onto my TV, I start to scowl. Nothing against Matthew McConaughey – I actually dig the True Detective persona he’s adopted – but because I know what their cars are. More platform-sharing, engine-sharing, zero-imagination byproducts from… more»
