Fuel Sipping Survivor: 1982 Ford EXP 5-Speed

The Ford EXP is perhaps one of the more memorable domestic products of the 1980s, and certainly the kind of design that hasn’t been reincarnated in some sort of retro design homage (but give it time, I suppose). The… more»

Indy 500 Festival: 1975 Buick LaSabre Convertible

1975 would be the last year for the General Motors B-body (full-size) convertibles. That new may have generated interest in getting a last-of-a-breed kind of car as sales picked up that year. In Buick’s case, that would equate to… more»

1 of 4,865: 1963 Mercury Meteor S-33

The Meteor nameplate was short-lived at Mercury and was likely tied to all the hype with space travel in the early 1960s. The car would start as a full-size model for just one year (1961) and then become an… more»

Before the Sport Utility Vehicle, there was the station wagon. They were popular throughout the 20th Century, especially the 1960s and 1970s. If you were looking for a mid-size people hauler with pizzazz in 1970, the Pontiac LeMans Safari… more»

LS Swap Candidate? 1973 Chevrolet Camaro

Solid Survivor: 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

No Reserve: 1969 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

This 1969 Mustang GT Convertible is part of a private collection, and it has spent the past few years parked in a garage. It hasn’t seen active duty in that time, so the buyer will need to revive this… more»

Ocelot For Not A Lot (Of Money)

The recipe was so brilliantly simple that it bordered on genius. Take a basic VW Beetle platform that could be bought for peanuts in the late 1960s. Then bolt a funky fiberglass body onto it. Apply a paint job… more»

Assembly Required: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

Kids will come up with the darndest names. When I was in high school, a classmate had a ’64 Ford Galaxie 500, two-door hardtop, red with a white roof – just like this example but with a fixed roof… more»

Nicest One Left? 1979 Chrysler LeBaron

I expected to see world peace and political harmony before seeing such a nice 1979 Chrysler LeBaron again, especially a T-Top Coupe such as this one for sale here on eBay. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen… more»

Mystery Motor: 1946 Lincoln Continental Convertible

Hmmm, this is a bit of a mystery. The 1946 Lincoln Continental was an Indy pace car, with a young Henry Ford II at the wheel—long before he dreamed of taking Ferrari down. The model was hand-built from 1939… more»

32k Miles? 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda Project

The Barracuda was an all-new car for 1970, sharing its new E-body platform with the Dodge Challenger. ‘Cuda was the high-performance model, which represented about a third of overall production. This one left the factory with a 340 small-block… more»
