2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible With 4,200 Original Miles

It is rare to find a classic in which the best thing that has happened is that its engine has developed an oil leak. However, such is the case with this 1983 Mercury Capri. A previous owner removed its… more»

Luxury Muscle Car: 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J

1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Short-Bed 4-Speed

I believe this 1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside short-bed pickup was originally Yuma Yellow, or Dark Yellow, based on the color inside the engine compartment. I’m always bummed to see a color change, but it appears that this truck needs… more»

48k-Mile Project: 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was the best-selling car in America. I, too, was taken in by its good looks and bought one in 1983 (it’s one of those cars I wish I… more»

Chevrolet Caprice Grille? 1986 Pontiac Parisienne

This one is a head-scratcher for me. The seller has this car listed as a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne, which it sure looks like in every way other than the grille. Most of us remember that GM offered the Parisienne… more»

Survivor Sedan: 1972 Buick Electra 225 Limited

I’m a big fan of these early-70s Buicks, as I had a similar version of this car but in Hunter Green. This big Nutmeg-colored 1972 Buick Electra 225 Limited only came in a hardtop body style for four-door cars,… more»

Fila Edition: 1984 Ford Thunderbird 302 V8

Special edition vehicles don’t seem to be such a big thing anymore, but vehicles in the 1960s and 70s had a ton of them. Even into the 1980s and 90s, there were special editions with special badges, colors, graphics,… more»

30K-Mile Museum Car: 1981 Chevrolet Chevette

Always a crowd-pleaser car, or at least a crowd-gathering car, eyes-per-dollar, it’s hard to argue with the drawing power of a Chevy Chevette. Whether anyone would buy one just to have people ogling it is another question. This former… more»

RWD Sportop Survivor: 1967 International Scout

Wake up! You were dreaming. The seller is listing this 1967 International Scout 800 Sportop for $16,000 or best offer, that doesn’t include any other vehicles shown here. As nice as that would be, I would take this I-H… more»

Enzo Alternative: 2005 Maserati MC12

It’s hard to believe, but saving $1,000,000 is a big deal for some people. I mean, it seems silly to be concerned with such a trifling amount of cash when car shopping, but this economy is hitting everyone differently…. more»

Down Under Pony: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

Restored Minibike: 1971 Rupp Roadster/2

Having taken a few liberties with the restoration, this restored Rupp minicycle (as opposed to a minibike, as this one is street-legal) looks great overall, and the price can’t be beat. This restored 1971 Rupp Roadster 2, sometimes seen… more»
