When a seller uses the word “gorgeous” in a listing, it is a bold move. Sometimes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it seems appropriate when describing the paint on this 1984 Ford Bronco. Its interior… more»

Unmodified Survivor: 1977 Chevrolet El Camino

Senior-Owned Survivor: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
From its introduction in 1964, Chevrolet’s mid-size Chevelle would be a sales success for many years to come. The redesign from 1968 to 1972 was especially popular, which included the seller’s Malibu 4-door sedan. It was owned by two… more»

1987 Ford Ranger XLT 4×4 Turbo-Diesel 5-Speed

1988 Ford Bronco II XL Sport V6 5-Speed
I know I’m not the only one who laments the fact that there are very, very few small vehicles being made these days. If a person has several kids, I could see owning a giant SUV, but otherwise, the… more»

Bought In Europe: 1967 Volvo 122S
Volvo’s model 122 series had a VW Bug-like existence, in that its appearance barely changed between its introduction (1956) and its conclusion (1970). At the start, it had a typical in-the-flow design, but by the end, it looked dated…. more»

400/4-Speed: 1970 Pontiac GTO
We see a fair selection of Pontiac GTOs at Barn Finds, but this 1970 example caught my eye. It isn’t merely the drivetrain configuration and factory options that appeal, but the paint shade, which helps it to stand out… more»

20k Original Miles: 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau
