No Reserve: 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback

390-Powered 1968 AMC AMX

V8 Transplant: 1993 Ford Mustang LX
Some classics have a fascinating backstory, and this 1993 Ford Mustang LX perfectly demonstrates that. When you assess its sparkling original factory paint and arrow straight panels, it is incredible to think that it came close to being parted… more»
Rare Bench Seat! 1968 Chevrolet Camaro
A couple of observations regarding this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. Firstly, I can’t believe how many we have covered here. Of the 235K assembled in ’68, I think we have reviewed every one of them (slight exaggeration of course). Secondly,… more»
Show Car: 1990 Ford Mustang LX
Cars like this 1990 Ford Mustang LX demonstrated to the buying public that The Malaise Era was fast becoming a distant memory. This car will provide a new owner with excellent performance, while a recent cosmetic refresh has left… more»
Rust-Free Sky Bird: 1977 Pontiac Firebird Esprit
The Pontiac Firebird is a shoo-in for the official car of the 1970s: The Rockford Files and Smokey and the Bandit sealed the deal, but even without their influence, the Firebird was a winner. It’s refreshing to see one that plainly… more»
No Reserve! 1968 Ford Shelby GT500 Fastback
Some classics are desirable, while others rightfully wear the legend badge. Inclusion or otherwise on either list will start conversations, but I think it is safe to say that virtually any First Generation Mustang wearing the Shelby badge is… more»
Original Except Paint! 1965 Ford Mustang
Since 1964, Ford’s popular Mustang has been modified in every way possible, but not this one! Shiny newer paint marks the only deviation from original on this 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. How often do you see… more»
Mark Donohue Edition: 1970 AMC Javelin SST
American Motors’ entry into the “pony car” market was the Javelin. The first generation lasted for three years (1968 to 1970) before the second (and final) gen ran from 1971 to 1974. This 1970 Javelin in SST trim is… more»
Nearly Forgotten: 1979 Chevrolet Monza Coupe

Beautiful Cat: 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7
I’m not sure that the 1967/8 Mercury Cougar gets the recognition it deserves for being a fantastic-looking car, one that is almost totally distinct from its parent Mustang. From its electric-shaver grille to its slightly tunneled rear window, it… more»
R-Code Project: 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I
It would be easy to mistake this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I as a serious organ donor that got left for dead decades ago, and while it has been largely disassembled, some great news is that’s not the case… more»
Needs Restoration: 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Limited Edition “7-Up” Convertible
The 5.0 Mustang convertible of the late-’80s and early-’90s was forever tied to its era by Vanilla Ice’s 1990 release “Ice Ice Baby.” Also released in 1990 was this Deep Emerald Green Mustang convertible: Sold as a 25th Anniversary… more»
Low Mileage Original? 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1
To regenerate interest in its mid-1960s firestorm, the Mustang, Ford introduced the Mach 1 version in 1969. Only available as a fastback (or in Ford-speak, SportsRoof), the Mach 1 made up nearly a quarter of Mustang production in 1969…. more»

Third-generation Camaros and Firebirds are finally gaining their collector due after a couple long decades of mullet jokes and owner abuse. When the last of the third gens were introduced for 1992, however, they were getting a little long… more»
