Unrestored Muscle: 1970 Buick GSX Stage One
Buick GSX’s are such neat and uncommon muscle cars. This 1970 Stage One car appears mostly original with some touch ups along the way. Not quite as shiny, and solid, as when it was new, this Buick is in… more»
Depression Era Survivor: 1929 Chevrolet Sedan
Tucked away for a few decades, this Chevrolet looks to wear plenty of original paint. At some point in this Chevy’s hibernation, the drivetrain was removed, but is still with the car. Described as being complete this early sedan… more»
Sky Bird! 1978 Pontiac Firebird Sky Bird
Update 1/23/17 – The seller contacted us to let us know that since we posted this, they have removed the Buy-It-Now and lowered their reserve! They also mentioned that the show plaque is from sometime in the ’80s. From… more»
Mid-Level: 1963 Plymouth Valiant V200 Wagon
Something that would cause heads to roll at any car company today, the re-skinned 1963 Valiant was actually a half-inch shorter than the 1962 model was! Now, every redesign gives us bigger, fatter, longer, wider, heavier vehicles. If I… more»
10 Hours Left! Garage-Sale Find ’63 Beetle
I’ve always held out hope that I’d stumble upon a garage sale wherein a vintage car in the garage would be half-heartedly for sale by the longtime owner. Perhaps they’re downsizing, and the spouse doesn’t want to take the… more»
On the Verge: 1971 Fiat 850 Coupe

Former Show Car: Olds Achieva Convertible
A few years ago, GM hit the skids and the American taxpayer bailed them out. For right or for wrong, some folks say it was essential to do. GM made some sacrifices of their own, which included unloading parts… more»
Civics Lesson: 1983 Honda Civic 1500 DX
This two-owner, incredible 1983 Honda Civic 1500 DX is almost like new. We’ve heard the low mileage story before but this one really only has 27,000 miles on it. It’s on Craigslist with a hefty asking price of $7,000,… more»

Ye Olde Grille: 1981 Jeep Cherokee
We all know someone like that, wearing just a t-shirt in the winter. Or, maybe you’re that guy. In any case, what doesn’t give me the chills is this unique 1981 Jeep Cherokee. Wait, a 1981 Jeep Cherokee with… more»
Low-Mileage Hemi: 1952 Desoto FireDome
I’ll admit- I’m a sucker for quirky stuff, like this 1952 Desoto sedan. My dad has a friend from work who is a car guy, typical car guy. He has probably 30 cars, most of which are 4 doors. In… more»
Primed Or Painted? 1939 Packard 120 Club Sedan
The Packard 120 with its straight 8 is not the top of the line but is still a fine luxury car and a step above “The Six”. The 120 has many advanced features for its time, like an independent front suspension,… more»
Luxury & Performance: 5-Speed Maserati TC
The Chrysler TC by Maserati never quite had the intended effect on sales and brand image the geniuses at headquarters were likely hoping for. It wasn’t particularly fast, nor did it offer class-leading handling. It wasn’t sporting enough to… more»
Reasonably Priced Survivor: 1939 Chrysler New Yorker
Clean, regal, and in fantastic condition, this 1939 Chrysler New Yorker has only covered 46,925 miles. Having belonged to a family that was involved with horse racing, this Chrysler was sold, and lived in a shop for a few… more»
