Parked for 43 Year: 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

I struggle to imagine owning a desirable classic like this 1970 Mustang Mach 1 and leaving it moldering in a barn for decades. That has been the fate of this car, and time has not been kind to this… more»

No Top Drop-Top: 1969 Pontiac Firebird

No Reserve: 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Some classic cars age gracefully, while others suffer a less dignified fate. This 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville falls into the latter category. Despite the ongoing popularity of these cars, I suspect this one’s days of wafting down our… more»

Unfinished Business: 1969 Dodge Charger

Dodge’s sporty mid-size entry, the Charger, was something of a slow starter. Production numbers for the 1966-67 launch were modest, but with the redesign of 1968, they exploded. The 1968 model year would top 92,000 copies, a figure that… more»

Cheap Wheels! 1975 Ford Mustang II Ghia

Although the Ford Mustang II is often criticized by Mustang purists, it likely saved the nameplate from extinction. By coincidence, the smaller, lighter, and more fuel-efficient car was introduced right at the same time fuel prices went up in… more»

Low Rider Wagon! 1970 Pontiac Catalina

Debuting in 1950 as a trim package, the Catalina would enjoy more than a 30-year run in the Pontiac lineup. It would become the maker’s best-selling full-size series and could be thought of as the Pontiac version of the… more»

Running After 31 Years in a Barn: 1977 MGB

In many ways, falling in love can be compared to purchasing a collectible automobile.  Nobody needs a car project for survival.  We do what we do because we love the hobby.  We also tend to fall in love with… more»

Tent Find: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

Back in 1970, this Chevelle SS 396 must have been an impressive sight when new. Wearing Tuxedo Black paint (we think) with a matching interior and a 4-speed, this would have been a helluva car. But sometime in the… more»

Thundrolet With Attitude: 1957 Ford Thunderbird

Oh boy, this one’s going to get some knickers in a twist! Ford’s Baby Bird, ’55-’57, is as iconic a model as Dearborn ever produced. But what happens when one gets cross-pollinated by those boys from the RenCen? Wailing… more»

Garage Find: One Owner 1974 MGB Roadster

MG sold 513,000 MGBs during the model’s production run from 1962 through 1980. With that many cars on the road, over that many years, arguments flare over which year is “best”. Early cars are prized for their spriteliness and… more»

Slant-Six Workhorse: 1977 Dodge D100 Pickup

Dodge introduced the D/W Series of trucks in 1961 and it would enjoy a three-decade run. A styling rework came in 1972 and the trucks became smoother in appearance, akin to the treatment given to the 1971 B-body Mopar… more»

Worthwhile Project? 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible

There’s an interesting flip-flop that happens with first-generation Mustangs. The early ones (say, 1965s) have a value premium on convertibles over fastbacks. But the later ones, like the 1969 Ford Mustang convertible here on ebay, carry a value add… more»

Wrecked Drop-Top: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle

The 1969 model year was another banner one for Chevrolet and its Chevelle mid-size offering. More than a half-million of them were built in a variety of body styles. But only 8,443 convertibles came with Malibu badging and a… more»
