390 FE Equipped Fastback! 1966 Ford Galaxie

The mountains of California always make a beautiful backdrop for photos, and this setting was what first drew me into this 1966 Ford Galaxie.  The 1965 cars got an all-new design with a more bulky and taller stance than… more»

Authentic Western Workhorse: 1972 Dodge D100 Adventurer

It’s no secret that I have an affection for old pickup trucks. And the more original and authentic, the better. Ford and Chevy pickups get the majority of attention, but it’s also refreshing to shine the work light on… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette

If you ever doubted the desirability of chrome-bumper C3 Corvettes, you need to look no further than the bidding history on this 1969 model. It looks tired and requires total restoration. However, its auction has attracted twenty-two bids with… more»

34k Original Miles: 1959 Cadillac Sedan De Ville

No Less Bad-A$$ Forty Years Later: 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom

This 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom is almost comically priced here on eBay: $3881. What are we doing, going up by $1 at a time? (Actually, by increments of fifty bucks). And that’s the result of 15 bids, more… more»

1955 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman Coupe

DeSoto is an orphan marque in my mind. While the model was produced under the Chrysler brand from 1929 through 1961, it’s rare to see a DeSoto at a car show these days. Perhaps that’s because Chrysler couldn’t make… more»

At Least It’s a Fastback: 1965 Mustang 6-cylinder

Because it’s a Fastback, this 1965 Ford Mustang might just be worth close to the asking price of $24,500 as represented here on craigslist. But maybe not, as it’s already been up for nine days, or ten by the… more»

OHC Survivor: 1968 Pontiac Firebird

The Firebird was Pontiac’s response to the First Generation Mustang, and, like its competitor, it offered an entry-level option for buyers unable to justify the expense of a V8. Many of those cars received later drivetrain upgrades, but this… more»

Unfinished Business: Cobra Kit Replica

If there was a category for cars that are most likely to show up as unfinished projects, the Cobra kit car would certainly be in the top five. I imagine there’s even a bracket for the same kit car… more»

Unrestored Rarity: 1977 Chevrolet Blazer Chalet

I am starting to think the Chevrolet K5 Blazer Chalet camper is the truck-based equivalent to the ASC McLaren convertible. Despite very limited production numbers, they are seemingly always available in project form. This particular truck is a worthy… more»

Still In The Barn: 1970 Pontiac GTO

Pontiac is often credited with starting the mid-size muscle car movement of the 1960s. However, by the early 1970s, the tides were changing. Rising insurance premiums paired with pending detuning for fewer emissions put a crimp on demand. Pontiac… more»

Non-Running Project: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette

The C3 (third generation) Corvette rolled around in 1968, patterned after the Mako Shark concept car. It was a popular move with sales increasing by an additional 10,000 units in its second year, 1969, though the car was mostly… more»

Ready To Rumble? 1966 Ford Galaxie 500

Saved From the Auction: 1988 Ford F-150 4×4

The seller claims this 1988 Ford F150 was sitting somewhere for years before it ended up at a local auction site where it no-saled. Given he ran the auction, he took it upon himself to grab the truck once… more»

427 V8 Survivor: 1969 Chevrolet Caprice

Ford rattled Chevy’s cage in 1965 when they introduced the LTD, a Galaxie 500 with luxury trappings. The Bow-Tie Brigade quickly responded mid-year with a gussied-up Impala called the Caprice. It was so popular that GM quickly spun it… more»

Estate Sale Find: 1950 Studebaker Land Cruiser

You know a 1950 Studebaker when you see one, that’s for sure! The bullet nose, wrap-around divided rear window, and the reverse-opening rear doors all conspired to create the non-GM/Ford/Chrysler market entry. And they found their niche with an… more»
