Lifted Long Roof: 1980 Chevrolet Impala Wagon

2-Door Hardtop: 1968 AMC Ambassador 990

The sixth-generation Ambassador was totally restyled from the previous somewhat-stodgy designs. The fifth-gen cars are my personal favorites, but I’m somewhat stodgy, too. The new cars were only two inches longer, but they looked much more modern. The seller… more»

Worthwhile Project? 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Swine Snout: 1960 Peugeot D4B Panel Van

Buried Alive! 1965 Ford Galaxie 500

2,472-Mile Barn Find: 1975 Laverda 1000 3C

Triple-cylinder engine fans, here’s another one to sink your teeth into. Even though it’s a motorcycle, it has more horsepower than a lot of three-cylinder cars and trucks out there. This is a 1975 Laverda 1000 3C, and it’s… more»

Matching Number Doors!? 1960 Porsche 356 B

4×4 With Patina! 1960 Ford F250 ¾ Ton

1 Of 554: 1962 Imperial Crown Convertible

Supercharged Project: 1963 Studebaker Avanti
