Bargain Bullet Bird? 1962 Ford Thunderbird

The 1961-63 era of Ford Thunderbirds are often referred to as “bullet birds” because of their futuristic styling. Though they didn’t sell quite as well as the generations right before and after, they may be more popular with collectors… more»

Low Mileage Notchback: 1993 Ford Mustang LX

While I sometimes wax poetic about cars and trucks that will forever be cheap, the notchback Ford Mustang is not one of them. This is a model that seems to still have some spring in its step, and even… more»

Party Pack: Trio of 1965 Pontiac GTO Projects

The Pontiac GTO was one of the surprise sellers in the 1960s (another being the Ford Mustang). Instead of the presumed annual demand of 5,000 units, the GTO sold 32,000 copies in 1964 and another 75,000 when the 1965… more»

Foxbody Fun! 1987 Ford Mustang GT

Late Model Production: 1990 ASC McLaren

Big Bubba Jones’ 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

We’ve probably covered 34,671 Chevrolet Camaros from its sophomore year of 1968, but it’s a sure bet that we haven’t reviewed a ’68 sorta race car Camaro belonging to “Big Bubba Jones”. Now, I don’t know much about Big… more»

Fresh 400 V8! Final Year 1974 Pontiac GTO

After a wildly successful start in the mid-1960s, the leader of the muscle car movement – the Pontiac GTO – came to the end of the line in 1974. Sales peaked in 1966 (reaching nearly 100,000 units), yet demand… more»

Almost Turnkey: 1991 Ford Mustang GT

Numbers Matching: 1983 Mercury Capri RS

There’s something about an 80s car that makes it acceptable to add hood scoops, decals, and aftermarket wheels, otherwise tacky modifications that might not fly on a vehicle from another era. In fact, if you were to see this… more»

Last Hurrah Convertible: 1965 Chrysler 300-L

Dry Climate Classic: 1979 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds W-30

Running Project: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Owned 20 Years: 1967 Dodge Charger
