BF Exclusive: 1972 MGB GT

Pair of 1960s Austin-Healey 3000 Projects
Introduced in 1959, the Austin-Healey 3000 was a British sports car larger than most, earning the nickname “big Healey’s”. Jensen Motors made the bodies, while British Motor Corp. took care of the rest. In production through 1967, more than… more»

Disassembled Project Car: 1960 Triumph TR3A

Series II Garage Find: 1970 Jaguar XK-E Roadster

Another Cheap Z-Car Project! 1990 Nissan 300ZX
We see an enormous variety of classics at Barn Finds, but having two Z-Car projects crossing our desks in quick succession is relatively rare. We recently featured this 1973 Datsun 240Z, and now we get a chance to examine… more»

13k Original Miles: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10
I have always believed that the motoring world during the 1970s and 1980s provided enthusiasts with little visual excitement. Manufacturers managed to claw back much of the engine power lost to emission regulations, but styling had become quite conservative…. more»

Cheap Project? 1973 Datsun 240Z

Solid Big Block Project: 1974 Jensen Interceptor

Driver-Grade Survivor: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette
I am probably not alone in believing that the C3 Corvette is best photographed from a low angle. Doing so accentuates the sleek and aggressive lines that help these classics to stand out in any crowd. These cars are… more»

What’s It Worth? 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
