Rare Convertible: 1981 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo
Here’s another to add to the list of formerly unbeknownst to me, a 1981 Pontiac Firebird TransAm convertible. I have encountered Gen-II “F” bodies that are topless but they were of the backyard, Sawzall variety, and certainly not professionally… more»

Man Cave Prop: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

41K Mile 1984 Dodge 600 ES Turbo Convertible
I’ll admit right up front that I’m very biased on these K-car convertibles as I had a similar Chrysler LeBaron convertible in a similar year and similar color. Mine, however, wasn’t the turbo model and that makes this 1984… more»

1969 Dodge Dart GTS 340 Convertible
In the late 1960s, Chrysler was at the forefront of the muscle car game. This included putting big engines, like the 383 and 440 V8s, into the Dart compact. But those heavy engines shifted a bunch of weight to… more»

Tree Hugger: 1948 Packard Custom Eight Victoria
Seeing a very, very rare car that has been sitting outside in the elements for who knows how many years (decades?) is a crying shame. I could see if it was a non-descript commuter or economy car, but one… more»

Ford V8 Power! 1965 Sunbeam Tiger
For whatever reason, I gravitate towards the Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger, much more so than I do towards other British sports cars and it’s not necessarily due to the Tiger’s version V8 engine. It is probably more to do with the… more»

17k Miles? 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible
Ford made nearly 560,000 Mustangs in 1965 and, of that, less than 12 percent were convertibles. This one was last registered in 1988, so it’s been off the road for quite a while, prompting a recent rebuild of the… more»

No Reserve: 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country

Only 24K Miles! 1989 Maserati TC
OK, is it a Maserati, a LeBaron, something in between or just a poseur. It’s got that special Italian name but it has an everyday K-Car look about it. Whatever the case, we’ll figure it out as best we… more»
