5-Window Pickup: 1967 Ford Econoline

Sometimes buying a classic vehicle involves a degree of compromise. If you are on the hunt for a pickup to park in your garage, this 1967 Ford Econoline might be a worthy candidate. Its overall condition is above average… more»

Original 401: 1965 Buick Skylark GS

318 V8 Twister: 1972 Plymouth Duster

One-Owner Survivor: 1977 Pontiac Astre

Original Survivor: 1950 Harley-Davidson WL 45
