This 1959 Plymouth Belvedere underwent a restoration approximately thirty years ago. The seller feels it deserves a repeat performance, although its respectable presentation and lack of significant rust means that the work could proceed at the buyer’s leisure. It… more»

Pristine Panther: 1991 Ford Crown Victoria
Every now and again, we’re offered reminders at how truly competent Ford’s Panther platform was. These full-size models were well-used by government agencies, rental car counters, livery drivers, and commuters everywhere in the 1980s, and despite the Panther platform’s… more»

Desert Find: 1962 Ford F-100 Unibody 292 V8
Other than a convertible pickup (I’m looking at you, Dodge Dakota), I can’t think of a more interesting design or configuration than a Ford Integrated Body truck, more commonly known as a Unibody. I’m biased as they’re by far… more»

15K Time Capsule! 1977 Plymouth Fury Suburban
Stacked headlights were first shown on the 1977 Plymouth Fury and the turn signals (those weird blinky light things that nobody uses anymore) were moved to the bumper, so it makes car-spotting duty fairly easy when you see a… more»

Clean Club Cab: 1993 Dodge Dakota
One of my favorite vehicle finds is an otherwise ordinary car or truck with terrific options and in preserved condition. The reason for this is because it usually indicates a first owner went out of their way to order… more»

Compact Camper: 1971 Datsun Pickup
There are some vehicles you can just tell have lived a charmed life. From the condition to the options, the photos simply tell you that it’s been loved since Day 1. In the case of this 1971 Datsun pickup,… more»

Parked 40 Years: 1960 Buick Invicta Hardtop
Buick fell on some tough times after their astounding success of the early-to-mid 1950s; by 1960, when this Invicta Hardtop was built, they ranked ninth in sales in the United States, the lowest they’d been since 1905. It wasn’t… more»

343/4-Speed: 1968 AMC AMX Go Package
Like many models from this manufacturer, AMC’s AMX spent a considerable period in the automotive wilderness. However, with values climbing faster than the market average, now could be the ideal to park one in your garage as a future… more»

Furious Fuselage: 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury 383
The new Fuselage Look wasn’t for everyone, some said it was too plain, some said it was too bold, too modern, not stylish enough, too simple. I’m a big fan as we had a ’69 Fury III sedan when… more»

74k Mile 1967 Mercury Caliente Convertible
This 1967 Mercury Caliente Convertible is a stunning survivor. It has a genuine 74,000 miles on its odometer and is said to have led a sheltered existence in a dry climate. It appears to need nothing, making it ideal… more»

Affordable Performance: 1994 Ford Taurus SHO
Let’s be brutally honest: Driving a 1994 Ford Taurus is the automotive equivalent of watching paint dry. The company designed the vehicle to be a competent daily driver, not one to set pulses racing. However, by joining forces with… more»

Sunny Survivor: 1977 Datsun B-210 Hatchback
This bright, cheery, sunny yellow color is perfect for this 1977 Datsun B-210 hatchback as they were known as the Nissan Sunny in their Japanese home market. By this time in North America, they were some of the most… more»

Glamorous Looks at a Low Cost: 1935 Ford Phaeton
The phaeton body style was one of the last vestiges of the automobile’s horse-drawn heritage. These cars were generally light, handsomely styled, had four doors, and were less costly than their convertible sedan brethren. One of the reasons for… more»

Snowbird: 1979 Dodge Magnum XE GT
If you don’t look like this, there’s no sense going any further because you clearly aren’t Dodge Magnum material, at least according to their brochure touting the cool, masculine features of this Dodge Charger-like two-year-only car. This 1979 Dodge… more»

Small Suzuki: 1974 Suzuki TS100L Honcho
Said to have been “redone” a few years ago but still possibly having some cosmetic work to finish, this 1974 Suzuki TS100L Honcho appears to be a nice starter bike. Or, a nice one for anyone of any age… more»

67k-Mile Survivor? 1977 Chevrolet Nova
The Chevy II/Nova served Chevrolet well as one of their largest sellers between 1962 and 1979. They were straight-forward compact cars with rear-wheel-drive, replaced by the less-than-perfect FWD Citation in 1980. The fourth and last generation ran from 1975… more»
