Rare Golf Yellow Paint: 1979 BMW 320i

The E21-chassis BMW 3-Series lives in a space where it’s not entirely valuable, but it also occasionally ticks the right boxes and you’ll see one sail to a surprising price in a live auction. Over the years, the market… more»

Big-Block Colonnade: 1974 Buick Century Regal

At the risk of sounding as if I have too much time to daydream, I will admit to allowing myself room for thought exercises such as this: “Aaron, what is your favorite car from the GM Colonnade era?” (The… more»

59k Original Miles: 1976 AMC Pacer

What do the Ford Pinto and AMC’s Gremlin and Pacer have in common? All of these cars spent years as the butt of some often cruel jokes before finding a dedicated following in the classic community. Time has taken… more»

4-Speed Project: 1973 BMW Bavaria E3

Sedans may not be the sexiest cars around, but there’s a lot to be said for a four-door with four speeds. The BMW Bavaria is a classic Autobahn cruise missile that combines the torquey power of an overbuilt inline-six… more»

Big-Block 1971 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe

In the 1971 brochure for their full-size line, Chevrolet said that “for 13 years other car makers have been playing follow the leader by following Impala. So this year, we’ve given them more leader to follow.” Indeed, everything about… more»

396 V8 Sleeper: 1967 Chevrolet Biscayne

The Biscayne was the Rodney Dangerfield (“I get no respect”) of Chevrolet cars. Produced from 1958 to 1975, it was Chevy’s entry-level full-size automobile that came with no frills and (usually) not much in the way of power. That… more»

24K-Mile Rambler: 1963 Rambler Classic 770

Crisp and clean was the result of a redesign for the second-generation Rambler Classic line, and it was quite an update. It was so impressive that Motor Trend named the whole lineup as its 1963 Car of the Year…. more»

Low Miles: 1953 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe

This Chrysler Windsor benefits from low miles and a club coupe body style, notching it above the lowly sedan in terms of desirability. It’s listed on facebook Marketplace for $13,900 – an aggressive price given comparable sales over the… more»

Two Full Classics for $25K: 1937 and 1939 Lincoln Model Ks

While Facebook Marketplace is considered by many to be a breeding ground for junk peddlers and scam artists, every once in a while you find a gem or two.  Perhaps the most amazing classic car deal of the year… more»

BF Auction: No Reserve 1974 AMC Hornet

Do you live in a salt-free region of our beautiful United States? Do you live in a rust-belt state but long for a simple three-season daily driver that will turn some heads and start some conversations while still providing… more»

Just 34 Miles! 1976 Chevrolet Laguna S-3

In 1974, Chevrolet retired the Chevelle Super Sport and replaced it (more or less) with the Laguna S-3. Production numbers were somewhat low (less than 33,000 copies in three years), so an S-3 is harder to come across than… more»

V8-Ready Roller: 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger

Dodge added the Swinger model to the Dart line-up in 1969 to inject some sportiness into an otherwise boring compact (except for the GTS). The ploy worked, and Plymouth would replicate the 2-door hardtop in 1971 as the Valiant… more»

6-Cylinder Project: 1970 Chevrolet Nova

This 1970 Chevy Nova likely began life as a “Grandma” car. It has the right power equipment for that assumption (250 cubic inch inline-6, 2-speed automatic transmission, drum brakes). After 140,000 miles, it still runs, though the seller says… more»

33K-Mile One-Owner 1995 Oldsmobile Delta Eighty Eight Royale

33,832 miles in three decades? That’s the amount of driving that a lot of us do in a single year, so it’s always fun to see these ultra-low-mile cars from decades ago. A 1995 four-door sedan probably wouldn’t be… more»

Just 3 Owners: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

One of Chevrolet’s biggest-selling cars of 1970 was the mid-size Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe. More than 300,000 copies left the assembly line that year with 96% of them equipped with a V8 engine. The seller’s car is one and… more»

25k Miles: 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

We all follow our own muses when it comes to car collecting, don’t we? I almost exclusively buy ten-footers that need some work because it’s my hobby and I value a car that looks as if it’s seen some… more»
