Only 27,000 Miles! 1968 Plymouth Satellite

How does it happen that a car, when only eight years old and has experienced a scant 27K miles, ends up parked for the next 46 years? I dunno, it’s a head-scratcher but it does happen periodically. And with… more»

Ambulance Project: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville

Superior Coach Company (and its successors) was in the business of building hearses, ambulances, limousines, and other “professional cars” for much of the 20th Century. Along with various Cadillac products, Pontiac’s Bonneville’s would also serve as donors for the… more»

Twin Turbo 440! 1966 Plymouth Fury

Don’t let this Plymouth’s nerdy Clark Kent face fool you; this plain white suit covers some serious super-muscle. The 1966 Plymouth Fury in Mesa, Arizona seeks a new owner here on Craigslist, a buyer with the vision, expertise, and… more»

John Schneider Owned! 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 L68 Convertible

How much value does it add to a vehicle if it has been owned by a celebrity?  That’s a question that if you ask 10 different people you’ll get 10 different answers.  Maybe if the vehicle itself isn’t that… more»

Trailer Find: 1955 Cadillac Series 62

The Series 62 line of automobiles was Cadillac’s mainstay between 1940-64, renamed Calais after that. This 1955 hardtop coupe is a project that’s fresh out of an enclosed trailer, but we’re told the motor does spin which offers some… more»

2nd Generation Project: 1970 Chevrolet Camaro

Second-generation Chevy Camaro’s would debut mid-way through the 1970 model year. They were delayed due to issues with some of Fisher Body’s dies, not because of labor problems that would occur a year later. This 1970 Camaro looks to… more»

One-Owner Running Project: 1971 Chevrolet Nova

The Chevy II (and later as the Nova) would be Chevrolet’s long-running compact car, a part of their rear-wheel-drive portfolio from 1962-79. The third generation (1968-74) would be its most successful sales-wise, including this 2-door sedan from 1971. It’s… more»

1 of 400: 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet

If there were ever a Mt. Rushmore of great Lincoln designs, the elegant 1940-1941 Lincoln Continental would certainly be on it. These low production classics (only 400 cabriolets and 850 coupes were produced in 1941; even fewer in 1940)… more»

420 Horsepower 1969 Chevrolet Caprice 454

UPDATE 3/15/22 – This sweet Caprice has reappeared here on eBay but this time it is on the other side of the country. It might be a quick flip but it might also be your second chance at this… more»

The First Pony Car: 1965 Plymouth Barracuda

Most people think the Mustang was the first “pony car,” hence the market segment would later be named after it. But the Plymouth Barracuda beat the Ford to the punch by 17 days in April 1964. The Barracuda would… more»

Buried At Least 15 Years: 1979 Chevrolet Camaro

The second generation of the Chevy Camaro enjoyed a long run between 1970-81. They were attractive, popular cars that could be ordered anywhere from mild to wild (but less of the latter as the 1970s wore on). This 1979… more»

1969 Chevrolet Caprice 427 4-Speed!

Cool opening for a Corvette ad! Actually for a Camaro or a Chevelle too. A Caprice? Well, not so likely but it’s a great find from Matt R. We featured a similar-looking Caprice earlier this year but this is… more»

Rare Drop-Top: 1954 Buick Series 100 Skylark Convertible

There’s no disputing the rarity of the 1954 Buick Series 100 Skylark Convertible. The company built a mere 836 examples during that model year, and the owner of this car claims that it is 1-of-127 known to remain in… more»

4K Mile Time Capsule: 1974 Ford Pinto

This 1974 Ford Pinto has a couple of interesting stories connected to it or actually three if you consider a 48-year-old car with 4,780 original miles on it interesting. Ok, there are probably at least four interesting facts about… more»

25k Documented Miles: 1964 Oldsmobile F-85 Deluxe Station Wagon

When an owner makes what appears to be an outrageous claim about their low-mileage classic, I tend to look at such statements with skepticism. However, when they can back such claims with comprehensive documentation, that’s a game-changer. Such is… more»

Diesel-Powered Estate Find: 1980 Cadillac Seville

The Seville was introduced in 1975 as a means of making the Cadillac more appealing to younger import car buyers. And while the car was initially successful, they missed their mark by selling a lot of them to older… more»
