33k Mile Mopar Project: 1959 Plymouth Fury

In the late 1950s, Chevrolet had the Impala, Ford had the Galaxie 500, and Plymouth had the Fury. All were nicely trimmed mainstream, full-size automobiles (the Big 3’s compacts wouldn’t arrive until 1960). This 1959 Plymouth Fury spent many… more»

326/4-Speed: 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible

Sometimes one manufacturer can catch another napping, and such was the case with the First Generation Firebird and its cousin, the Chevrolet Corvette. Ford blindsided General Motors when it slipped the covers off the Mustang in 1964, and it… more»

Carport Find: 1979 Hurst/Olds W-30

32k Original Miles: 1957 Buick Special Riviera

I don’t know an enthusiast that doesn’t respect authenticity. That doesn’t mean that, in their eyes, a classic car needs to be 100% original. However, most will accept a vehicle as long as the seller doesn’t present it as… more»

Original Hemi: 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda Hardtop

Although I am a confessed Blue-Oval fan, I believe the Third Generation Plymouth Barracuda is one of the best-looking cars to roll off an American production line. The company got the styling of its E-Body model nearly perfect, giving… more»

Snow Country Survivor: 1988 Ford Bronco 4×4

This 1988 Ford Bronco 4×4 has been listed by the father of the owner who apparently snagged it via an online auction a few years back and hasn’t done much with it since then. It certainly looks like a… more»

Rust-Free Driver: 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop

One of the disadvantages of owning a classic car is that most spend their time hidden away in a garage or workshop, only seeing the light for weekend outings. However, this 1965 Mustang Hardtop offers a tempting alternative because… more»

One Family Owned: 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire Convertible

When the company introduced the Starfire in 1961, it was Oldsmobile’s most expensive model. A Convertible version joined the fray in 1962, but the price meant it never sold in significant numbers. This 1964 Starfire Convertible is an unmolested… more»

No Reserve: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Nothing Missing But The Keys! 1950 Cadillac 62

Heck of a way to start out right? The seller should add, “will need to bring a slim jim and a jumper wire“. OK, so that’s not the end of the world, and it’s an easy enough problem to… more»

Same Owner 50 Years: 1970 Ford Country Squire

The Country Squire line of station wagons was a Ford staple for more than 40 years beginning with the “Woodies” of the early 1950s. Even when real wood was no longer used in wagon production, the tradition continued on… more»

Couch Car: 1993 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Avenue

An Ambassador Of A Barn Find: 1953 Nash

Described as, “Pininfarina’s Latest Masterpiece” is the Nash “Airflyte” such as this 1953 Ambassador. While maybe not as rounded out as the first Airflyte incarnation (1949-1951), it still resembles an aerodynamic bathtub on wheels. This car is, what else,… more»

Mechanic’s Special: 1992 GMC Typhoon

I have a feeling I’ve seen this GMC Typhoon before appear on craigslist as a surprisingly affordable opportunity to get into one of these desirable muscle trucks. The seller admits this is a project, but given the rarity of… more»
