Parts Included: 1968 Mercury Cougar Project

I like sixties vintage Mustangs as much as the next guy, but it’s the first-gen Mercury Cougar, such as this 1968 project, that really speaks to me. Why? I dunno, the Cougar seems to present a more serious vibe,… more»

Mix And Match Body: 1974 Chevrolet Corvette

When I think of a Rat Rod, combined parts from different makes in varying colors, conditions, and shapes come to mind, so calling this one the Rat Rod of Corvettes isn’t a fair assessment.  However, somebody has taken the… more»

Restoration-Ready Icon: 1957 Ford Thunderbird

390 Equipped: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I

Over the past couple of decades, I’ve only bought either black or white cars for my daily commutes, as has been the case with my last four.  Some of that mindset is probably a habit pattern, but another possible… more»

Sitting Since The ’90s: 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455

As the owner of a ’74 Firebird, I am biased in its favor, but it’s no long branch to go out on when I say that Pontiac handled the five-mile-per-hour bumper regulations better on the Firebird than any other… more»

Custom Convertible: 1976 Cadillac Eldorado

Cadillac resurrected the Eldorado nameplate in 1967 and applied it to a new front-wheel-drive luxury car (GM’s second design of that type, the other being the 1966 Olds Toronado). The 1976 edition would be the last Eldorado to be… more»

454 Big Block! 1977 Jeep J10

This Jeep’s listing begins with “I am getting old so am getting rid of all my old cars…” Credit the seller for realizing this before their collection rusts into oblivion as we see too often. Clearly this Jeep enjoyed… more»

Retro Cruiser: 1977 Plymouth Voyager Van

Square-Body Favorite: 1980 Chevy C-10 Scottsdale Short Bed

Chevy’s square-body pickups are finally getting the recognition they deserve, and trucks like this 1980 Chevrolet C-10 Scottsdale short bed, now listed here on eBay, show exactly why. With clean lines, a solid frame, and a recently rebuilt drivetrain,… more»

Stored 20 Years: 1970 Pontiac Firebird

A quick glance at this 1970 Pontiac Firebird might lead potential buyers to think it’s a Formula model, but this one’s actually a base car that had the sporty hood added at some point in the past.  The seller… more»

Possible Euro Spec: 1976 Porsche 911

The late 1970s were not great years for sports cars, hampered by challenging emissions standards and systems that strangled engines and squashed performance. There was a time that these conditions and the cars affected by them were some of… more»

Unusual Custom Touches: 1972 Pontiac Catalina

This 1972 Pontiac Catalina is one of those cars that’s certainly interesting both inside and out, but it also raises a few questions, such as why this one was parked and how long it has been sitting.  Maybe it’s… more»

Desert Find Project: 1957 Buick Special Estate Wagon

Off and on from 1936 to 1996, the Special nameplate appeared quite frequently at Buick. It usually served as the entry-level model, which was also the case when the seller’s ’57 Estate Wagon was built. This Special looks to… more»

18 Years In The Barn: 1984 Chevrolet Corvette

If anyone ever tries to sell you a 1983 Chevy Corvette, run, don’t walk. There was no such thing. The C4 debuted in 1984 due to quality issues and parts delays, and the last C3 Corvette was a 1982… more»

Drive Or Restore? 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

As the decades pass, it seems fewer and fewer cars that offered a high-performance version haven’t already been cloned or tampered with in some fashion.  I completely understand the desire to take a lower-level version and create something more… more»
