1966 Ford LTD: Dusty But Pristine?

One can easily imagine that under that light layer of dust is a beautiful, original car, a real time capsule? There’s very little information revealed about this LTD listed on craigslist in Rossville, Tennessee. The asking price of $2,500 seems… more»

Jason’s 1966 Corvette Garage Find

Original Miles? 1971 International Harvester 1110

Like Early Corvairs? Ten 1960 Corvairs For Sale!

Reader Bruce G. writes: My friend Pete from the Detroit Area Corvair Club has decided he has “too” many ’60 Corvairs! I’m not going to judge that, but Pete is going to sell 10 of the 11 he owns, including… more»

Bad in Black: 1972 Cadillac Eldorado
