As it so happens, I’m currently attending the annual meeting for the BMW Car Club of America. And as you might expect, we all like to talk about our cars. It’s what makes the hobby fun, as we all… more»

Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:

What Was It Used For? 1974 Jeep Cherokee
They don’t come much cleaner than this! You have to wonder what the heck it was used for–it sure doesn’t show much wear! That’s the original Omaha Orange paint you see! It’s also amazing that it’s being sold in… more»

2,900 Mile Z28: 1980 Chevy Camaro
Sometimes, it seems like we can become a bit numb to low mileage claims. 30,000 miles used to be impressive; now, it just passes for “OK.” That’s not to say I’d kick a car with under 50,000 miles out… more»

DSM Unicorn: 27K-Mile Eagle Talon TSi
A sad fact of life is that some vehicles just lead hard lives. As someone who occasionally flirts with the idea of buying a first-generation Subaru WRX as a project, I can’t get over how many of these cars… more»

Nicest Around: 8,358 Mile 1986 Camaro IROC-Z
There comes a point where superlatives are wasted. Let’s just say that if the words IROC, mullet, Tuned Port Injection, Chernobyl & Challenger, Top Gun and Full House feel like you heard them just yesterday, this car means a lot to you, and… more»

Most Valuable 1973 Mercury Comet In Existence?
Is this the nicest 1973 Mercury Comet on the planet? The seller bought this car from the 100-year old original owner who only “drove it to church and the store.” It’s listed on eBay with a mouth-gaping current bid… more»

Winged Wonder: 1990 Toyota Sera
A 1990 Toyota Sera should be on any vintage Japanese car lover’s list, although the “vintage” part will always be debatable. In the US, the 25-year rule, as far as licensing vehicles from other countries goes, is the law… more»

Two-Seat Project: 1970 AMC AMX
This all-original California car is a 1970 AMC AMX and you can see that someone has been doing a bit of work on that original paint at some point. The seller says that it has “mostly original paint”. It’s listed on… more»

Sprint or Mustang? 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint
This Mustang predecessor is a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint and, as you can imagine, its sibling, the Falcon Ranchero, will be very sad to see it leave the nest. This one is listed on eBay with an unmet opening bid price of… more»

1979 Ferrari 400 With Only 4k Miles!
Allow me to preface this post by saying this: I am by no means a Ferrari expert. It is my understanding that the late 70’s and early 80’s Ferrari’s are the redheaded stepchildren of Enzo’s exclusive family. I, for… more»

Two Owner Survivor: 1972 Chevrolet Nova
Perhaps it is just me, but it seems there aren’t nearly as many Nova survivors as there should be. This 1972 model is a 2 owner car, and the original owner was a “Grandma.” Between the two owners this… more»

Dream Survivor: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429
Throughout the years so many valuable “dream” cars have been restored to tip top shape, and always command a high value. Today, there aren’t many unrestored dream cars, but boy when you see one, it really draws your attention…. more»
Little Blue Box: 1986 Nissan Stanza 4WD
I hope you have enjoyed Scotty G’s write-ups as much as I have! I think he is overly fond of Japanese cars, but perhaps it’s the effect of the long cold winters where he lives. When he asked me to… more»

Economic Econoline: 1965 Ford Econoline Pickup
I’ve always liked these things. Look at that, who wouldn’t like to own this? Come on! That wraparound rear side window, dang. And the legs-as-airbag.. er.. This is a 1965 Ford Econoline Pickup and it’s listed here on craigslist with… more»

Trans-Am Champ: 1974 AMC Javelin AMX
I’ve seen a lot of the “coke bottle” Javelins and AMXs in ads lately, but rarely are they this nice, original, and solid. Of course, you pay the price for that as well. The car is listed here on… more»

Be Brave: 1975 Winnebago Brave D-21
Spring fever is hitting hard here in the Midwest, although having temperatures in the 50s and 60s in February was highly unusual and the snow went away a few weeks earlier than usual. Even though I drive 40,000+ miles… more»
