I sometimes feel that I would like to talk to the original owner to gain insight into why they ordered their classic in its particular form. Such is the case with this 1991 Ford Mustang LX. The first owner… more»

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

Original Paint: 1983 AMC Eagle Limited Wagon
I have long admired AMC because it was a genuine battler. The company produced a range of interesting and innovative vehicles on a budget that was, to be kind, extremely tight. This 1983 Eagle Limited Wagon is a perfect… more»

1966 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 396 V8
Literally a fancy Impala, the Chevy Caprice snuck onto the market halfway through 1965 as a higher trim level car than the Impala. A friend from high school had a 1965 sedan in white with a blue top and… more»

One Owner: 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix
UPDATE 12/10/2024: This 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix brought mixed responses from our readers when we featured it in October, and it appears that the seller didn’t taste success with their fixed-price approach at $18,000. Therefore, they are making another… more»

One-Family-Owned: 1984 Buick Riviera 307 V8
This 1984 Buick Riviera is four decades old now but a brochure touting it as being a “contemporary classic” seems like it would still apply today. It’s a car that most people could use as a daily driver, a… more»

1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Cruiser 455 V8
Looking great in a color that I believe is Chamois Gold, and having been repainted six years ago (and apparently debadged, unfortunately) this car is listed as a 1973 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, but I believe it’s a Cutlass Supreme… more»

Super Duty: 43k Mile 1974 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455
If you say the words Super Duty to a Ford enthusiast, they think of a work truck. If you say those words to a muscle car enthusiast, they immediately think of Pontiac. Typically, they focus on the 1973 and… more»

Sunroof Delete: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
The Fox body generation of the Ford Mustang Cobra represented perhaps one of the broader introductions of a collectible Ford in the modern era. While cars like the Saleen Mustang and ASC McLaren cars had existed up this point,… more»

12k-Mile Survivor? 1963 Chrysler Imperial
The Imperial was Chrysler’s premium automobile dating to 1926. In 1955, hoping to better distinguish it from other Chrysler products, the company branded the line strictly as Imperials. The goal was to try to catch up with Cadillac and… more»

Hatchback Survivor: 1980 Dodge Colt Twin-Stick
A Dodge Colt brochure calls this car “the eight-speed wonder of the world”, a clever take on “the eighth wonder of the world.” They’re referring to the famous Twin-Stick manual transmission, a unique two-range (power and economy) four-speed, effectively… more»

Original Survivor: 48K 1976 Triumph TR6
I have long considered the “6” to be the most attractive of Triumph’s “TR” range of sports cars. From its aggressive styling to the deeply offset wheels, it is blessed with an appearance that promises above-average performance and an… more»

72k Original Miles: 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
Oldsmobile broke new ground in 1966 when it released its Toronado as a Personal Luxury Car. It was the first American-designed and built front-wheel-drive model since the demise of the Cord 812 in 1937. The drivetrain configuration proved a… more»

Dentside 4×4: 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger
While technically falling just outside the era of being an actual Highboy, this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger 4×4 appears to have a bit of a lift on it. Round headlights went away for the 1979 model year, at least… more»

23k-Mile Time Capsule: 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe
With an eBay user name of mopar6930, one might think this seller has sole allegiance to just Chrysler products, so it’s a bit surprising to find his only offering on that site is a Chevrolet. However, when it’s a… more»

29K-Mile Upgraded 1995 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
We’ve talked about vehicle wish lists here before and mine is loaded with some unusual ones, like a Subaru 360 Young S, a Comuta-Car EV, and other oddballs. That being said, most of my list consists of trucks, usually… more»

Two Tone 28K Mile: 1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am
Two tone paint jobs on cars became the rage in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. I first remember the two tone paint when I went with my parents to the Buick dealership in 1978 so they could buy… more»
