Original 4-Speed RS/SS! 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

This! That’s right, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is an excellent survivor example, it’s my favorite version of Chevy’s iconic first-gen pony car, and it’s green. Expensive at $45K? Considering what it is, and its condition, it’s not a… more»

Slick Driver: 1984 Chevy Monte Carlo

There are certain vehicles that only require a very modest tweak to go from ordinary to stunning. I often think of the staid Mercedes-Benz W124 sedan, which is transformed by a set of 17-inch AMG “monoblock” wheels. Many classic… more»

2,882 Miles: 1972 Honda CT70 K1

Not necessarily a bigger version of Honda’s Z50 but rather from the same family, this 1972 Honda CT70 K1 was a much more user-friendly bike for older riders and would have been street-legal in a lot of municipalities whereas… more»

Concours Condition: 23k Mile 1972 Lincoln Continental

Cheap V8-Powered 1977 Chevrolet Nova Concours

From its introduction in 1962 to its retirement in 1979 as a rear-wheel-drive compact, the Chevy II/Nova was one of Chevrolet’s biggest sellers. The fourth generation debuted in 1975 and the magic was still there as the 1977 model… more»

Pinky: 1992 Yamaha TY250R Trials

1989 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park LS

It’s hard for some of us to realize that a perfectly modern-feeling, easy-starting, luxurious car like this 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park LS is three-and-a-half decades old now, give or take. This is a car that you can… more»

Muscle Wagon: 1969 Chrysler Town & Country 440

Talk about a big project, big in every way. It’s big, as in just under 19 feet in length, and big as in almost two-and-a-half tons. When you look at the photos, you’ll also see that this 1969 Chrysler… more»

Original 409: 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS

Practicality can never be underestimated when assessing whether a classic car can fulfill a potential owner’s ongoing needs. If the enthusiast has a growing family, a vehicle that comfortably seats five people could be an ideal choice. When it… more»

Ultimate Poster Car: 1990 Ferrari F40

I’m willing to stick my neck on the line and say that the 1990 F40 was not the best-looking car to roll out of Ferrari’s factory in Maranello, Italy. It is a subjective opinion, but I’ve always felt the… more»

Success Story: 1982 Peugeot 505 S Turbo Diesel

We auctioned this Peugeot 505 S Turbo Diesel back in August of 2022, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet the seller’s reserve. Thankfully we have a great Make An Offer system, so shortly after this one rolled over we received… more»

Original Paint 1951 Sunbeam S7 Deluxe 500cc

Rare Japanese Super Car: 1967 Toyota 2000GT

One-Owner 1936 John Deere Model D

Dry Climate Survivor: 1969 Pontiac GTO
