Former 440 V8 Roller: 1970 Dodge Charger R/T

Decent Driver: 1957 Chevrolet Corvette

1 of 10 Made? 1999 Ford Explorer Saleen XP6

Garage Find: 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet

Until the 250 GT Pininfarina was launched, Ferrari model production numbers ranged from a few-handfuls to slightly less than 100 copies. Many were customized to buyers’ tastes. By the mid-1950s, the company knew it needed to sell more road-going… more»

94K Miles? 1959 King Midget Model 3

I’m a huge fan of these small cars in the first place, but the thought of someone driving a King Midget for 90,000+ miles was pretty shocking. The seller says that this one has 94,000 miles, but I believe… more»

Three-On-The Tree: 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible

Bigger is typically considered better when it comes to what’s under the hood of most American-made sixties offerings, but I’m kind of digging that this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu here on eBay is rocking an inline-6, and along with… more»

390-Equipped: 1971 Ford F-250 Ranger 4×4
