Original Paint: 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster

Anyone who daily drives a 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster in 2022 is pretty cool in my world. Some of us complain about our decade-old vehicle not being modern enough, this one is forty-eight years old. The seller has it… more»

9k Mile Survivor? 1977 Lincoln Continental

The Continental dominated Lincoln production for 55 years – until 2020 when the company decided to focus exclusively on crossovers and SUVs. The car’s fifth-generation was built between 1970-79, including this ’77 edition which has been off the road… more»

Serious Muscle: 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 4-Speed

By 1970, the writing was on the wall for the classic American muscle car. While manufacturers would persist in their quest to produce vehicles with large capacity engines under the hood, those motors would be rendered shadows of their… more»

Low-Mileage Fox Body: 1985 Ford Mustang GT

Four-eyed Mustangs appear with far less regularity than the later examples with their flush headlamps, and for that reason alone, I dig cars like this 1985 Mustang GT. The GT obviously is the one to buy, with its unique… more»

Factory T-Top: 1986 Ford Mustang GT

If you wanted a 1986 Mustang GT that provided a wind-in-the-hair motoring experience but craved better security and weather protection than that offered by a traditional convertible, Ford listed a T-Top option. Production totals are hard to establish, but… more»

No Reserve 1955 Ford Thunderbird

I was born the same year that Ford introduced their new two-seater “Personal Car.” I was just a little squirt when I saw my very first Thunderbird – a Torch Red beauty just like this one. I was smitten… more»

455 HO: 1972 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

The 1972 model year nearly marked the demise of Pontiac’s iconic Firebird range. General Motors considered pulling the pin on its F-Body offerings, including the Firebird and the Camaro, thanks to industrial action. Thankfully, both models received a stay… more»

Unfinished Project: 1969 Plymouth GTX

Plymouth perceived there was a market for an upscale mid-size muscle car, so the GTX debuted in 1967. The cars had a standard 440 cubic inch V8 and the marque continued through 1971, after which it became part of… more»

Tidy Driver: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe

In 1963, Chevrolet produced 10,396 examples of its iconic Corvette Split Window Coupe. While they were considered desirable when new, that desirability has continued to increase as time has passed. Today, tidy and original examples regularly change hands for… more»

N-96 Ramcharger: 1970 Dodge Super Bee

The Super Bee was to Dodge as the Road Runner was to Plymouth. The Super Bee followed the Road Runner into the no-frills segment of the mid-size muscle car market in 1968. It was never as popular, perhaps because… more»

No Reserve AWD: AMC Eagle SX/4 DL

Today, it is common to find manufacturers rolling passenger cars off their production lines with All-Wheel-Drive capabilities. Companies like Subaru and Mitsubishi have made such drivetrains legendary with their respective WRX and Evo models. However, vehicles like the Toyota… more»

L-Code 440/4-Speed! 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

I’m guessing many of our readers are thinking the same thing I was upon first glance at this 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, that the car is actually a ’68 model, judging from the grille and that round side-marker light… more»

Triple Black! 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

By the time the 1969 model came around, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a year into its third generation, and it was a pretty hot commodity for the sports car market with over 38,000 units rolling off the assembly… more»

LS3 376 V8 Restomod! 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass S

The Cutlass S was the sportier version of the Supreme, with more of a fastback look and fewer amenities. The cars were redesigned for 1973 as GM went to a “Colonnade” styling approach to their intermediates (sedans with pillarless… more»

Miami Vice Edition: 1985 Chevrolet Corvette

Some cars bear all of their secrets in full view rather than forcing the next owner to go digging for answers. This 1986 Chevrolet Corvette is a great example of this phenomenon, as it was clearly modified in-period and… more»

4-Speed SS Clone: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle

Hands down, one of the most cloned, faked, tributed, pick your euphemism, automobiles is a Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport (SS). In ’67, the VIN still told the story so deception is harder to pull off. The seller of this… more»
