428/4-Speed: 1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom

Summer and Winter Combo: Daimler V8 and Fiat 1200

This is an intriguing package deal. Normally, when we see two or more vehicles come up for grabs in the same listing, there’s a theme to the offering. One running car plus a parts car, or a collection of… more»

Machine Shed Find: 1968 Dodge Charger

The Charger debuted in 1966 as part personal luxury car, part muscle car. Sales were lukewarm based on the then-current B-body platform. But when all the B-bodies were redesigned in 1968, sales of the Charger exploded. It became a… more»

Desert Patina: 1976 BMW 2002

I try to keep up with auction results, but it’s near impossible to track every model across the multiple auction platforms that exist these days. The BMW 2002 Tii is a model I had incorrectly assumed had settled back… more»

Wildcat 375 V8: 1966 Buick Skylark Project

The Buick Special/Skylark began as a “senior” compact in 1961. In 1964, the cars – along with similar compacts from Pontiac and Oldsmobile – were promoted to mid-size automobiles. The cars received a styling refresh in 1966, and a… more»

Rolls-Royce Quiet: 1980 Ford LTD Crown Victoria

Marketed as being as quiet on the road as a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow four-door sedan, Ford’s new-for-1980 LTD Crown Victoria was a nice car for the time, at a fraction of the price of a Rolls-Royce, which goes without… more»

Solid SS 396 Roller: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle

Although there are plenty of others, one of the fun factors about the Chevelle is that an SS package was available immediately, with Chevrolet wasting no time attracting buyers interested in something a bit more exciting than your average… more»

Cheap Wheels Running Project: 1961 Comet

The Comet compact was originally intended to be an Edsel product, so Mercury took the car under its wing when Edsel went “sneakers up.” The 1960 and 1961 Comets had no parental badging but officially became a Mercury in… more»

No Reserve: 1966 Ford Mustang Sprint 200

Apart from the drop-dead gorgeous styling, a major factor in the Mustang’s success was Ford’s decision to provide an extensive options list. It allowed buyers to personalize their new purchase, but the company took the concept a step further… more»

Only One in the US? 1977 Ford Transit

The Ford Transit has been in production throughout the world since 1965. The first generation was on the assembly line until 1977, including this rare pickup truck that was built by Ford of Europe. Using left-hand rather than right-hand… more»

Can It Be Saved? 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser

In many ways, the FJ40-series Toyota Land Cruiser market has mirrored the air-cooled Porsche 911 market (at least to a point.) There was a period of time when every project was being drug out and bid up on eBay,… more»

Stored 45 Years: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 402 4-Speed

This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle appears to have either begun life as an ordinary Malibu or as a Chevelle Super Sport that came with a 350 cubic inch V8. That engine was replaced early in the car’s life with a… more»

Starship Enterprise! 1968 Pontiac Executive

The Executive was Pontiac’s mid-range full-size car from 1966 to 1970. It began as the Star Chief Executive in 1966, and then simply the Executive in 1967 when the Star Chief moniker was dropped. The Executive rode on the… more»

Just Add Engine: 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible

This 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible is an unfinished project, and I consider it a rare discovery. It doesn’t run or drive, but a weekend of hard graft in a home workshop could potentially return it to a roadworthy… more»

Color Changed: 1968 Mercury Montego MX Convertible

Owners changing paint shades is not a new phenomenon in the classic world and often sparks debate about whether it is appropriate. I prefer originality, but also accept that at the end of the day, the owner paid good… more»

Flintstone Floors: 1976 Chevrolet C20 Scottsdale

$2,000 or best offer? For a truck this nice-looking in 2026?! You can’t get nothin’ (as they say) in 2026 for two grand anymore, vehicle-wise, especially a vintage red-hot Chevy square body pickup. I predict this one won’t last… more»
