1968 Datsun 1600: Cleans Up Nice

1968 Intermeccanica Italia Coupe: Flamed Out
This 1968 Intermeccanica Italia listed here on eBay for the heady price of $44,950 may be rare, but in reality, it’s actually quite well done. An engine fire took this rare sports car off the road early in life, preventing… more»

1953 Nash Rambler Deliveryman: Never Seen One
When this 1953 Nash Rambler Deliveryman popped up here on eBay with active bidding and the reserve unmet, I immediately began digging for more information on this funky variant. But there’s some deja vu at work here as well,… more»

Little Old Squire: 1962 Falcon Wagon
Pet peeve of mine: flippers that don’t even take the car off the trailer before photographing it to sell it. Nevertheless, this is a cool find and I haven’t seen many of them, especially with “little old lady” provenance!… more»

1968 Chevy Camaro RS/SS: Back From War
The story is not a new one: an American Veteran returns from overseas and buys himself a true muscle car, both as a reward and as a reminder that the USA makes some pretty kick-butt machines. I recall an… more»

1979 Pontiac Trans Am: Bandit In The Barn
I grew up watching shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, Herbie the Love Bug, and Smokey and the Bandit. For many of us that watched these movies and shows, these cars have special meaning. They were more than cars, they had… more»

Pushes My Buttons: 1956 Chrysler New Yorker
Maybe it’s the two-tone paint, maybe the original-looking interior, maybe it’s those 8 audacious chrome accents on the rear fins. Or maybe it’s the thundering Hemi underhood! There’s something about this vintage Mopar that I really like. It’s currently… more»

1975 Triumph TR6: For Sun Lovers
The Triumph TR6 has always been one of my favorite British roadsters, primarily based on its styling. While I can appreciate cars like the Spitfire and MGB, they never looked quite aggressive enough to me in stock form. But… more»

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS: All The Options
As a matter of personal preference, I tend to place a lot of emphasis on tracking down the original optional equipment that was available when either of my two 1987 BMWs were new. Roof racks, CD changers, car covers,… more»
