Stored 33 Years: 1954 Studebaker Commander

Having first appeared in the 1920s, Studebaker’s Commander line of cars lasted up until the very end of US production, in 1966. It’s a crisp and clean design that would look perfect in the driveway of your Palm Springs… more»

Plum Crazy 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda was an all-new car, shedding its association with the economy Valiant. The car would share its E-body with the upstart over at Dodge, the Challenger. The most common way to get a basic Barracuda 2-door… more»

Parked Since ’02: 1993 Ford Mustang GT

It was the end of the line for the Fox Body Mustang. Ushered in for the 1979 model year, the Foxes held tough through 1993 when this GT was produced. Revered in the wake of the shrunken Mustang II,… more»

Loaded With Options! 1970 Buick GS455 Stage 1

Before the Internet, if a Stage 1 Buick turned up anywhere, in any condition, even if it was red with a blue interior, a local Buick enthusiast (or several) would empty their IRA or their kids’ college fund to… more»

Bandit Recaro Edition: 1983 Pontiac Trans Am

The term “Bandit Edition” isn’t one we hear much of anymore, but for a few years after Burt Reynolds burst onto the big screen, it was like shooting fish in the barrel for Pontiac when it came to selling… more»

Rebuilt 383: 1970 Dodge Super Bee

The Super Bee was one of the shorter-lived muscle cars, made by Dodge from 1968-71. It could be thought of as Dodge’s version of the Plymouth Road Runner, but it never sold as well. This edition from 1970 is… more»

Custom Camino? 1974 Cadillac El Dormino

I have stated as of late that I have a thing for El Caminos and I have been eyeballing different varieties. Having one with a Cadillac El Dorado grafted to the front isn’t exactly what I had in mind,… more»

60k Miles: One-Owner 1980 Pontiac Firebird Formula

Sales of the Pontiac Firebird got a huge kick in 1977 after the release of the first Smokey & The Bandit movie. But they had peaked two years later when production down nearly half in 1980 from the year… more»

Is This The One? 1968 Dodge Charger

It’s tough being a classic Mopar fan. So many 60s and 70s Dodges and Plymouths suffer from horrible rust! This 1968 Dodge Charger listed for sale here on craigslist appears to only need trunk floor patching or replacement —… more»

BF Classifieds: One Owner 1967 Ford LTD

The LTD was the Ford division’s version of the Lincoln for more than 30 years. Sort of a Galaxie 500 on steroids, you could say. It was so popular that Chevy did the same thing with the Impala and… more»

350 V8 Equipped: 1972 Chevrolet Nova

Most collector interest with the third-generation Chevy Nova is focused on the SS models, original or cloned. But the basic Nova of that era with a 350 V8 was a good little car (I owned and put over 100,000… more»

1975 Chevrolet Monza 2+2 With Factory V8!

This 1975 Chevrolet Monza 2+2 with a factory 262 V8 in original and nice condition has to be fairly rare, doesn’t it? We have seen a few of them ramble through here over the years and it seems like… more»

Super Cobra Jet 4-Speed! 1969 Mustang Mach I

Ten years before this car was built, automotive performance generally improved as you moved upmarket. Fancier, more expensive cars of the late ’50s tended to pack more punch than smaller, cheaper cars. The popularity of drag racing, street racing,… more»

Stored 36 Years: 1966 Dodge Charger

I feel bad that I have had a motorcycle stored since 1986 but I’d feel much worse if I would have put a car like this 1966 Dodge Charger into storage in 1984 and left it there ever since…. more»

348 With A/C: 1959 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

Perhaps the wildest looking Chevrolets ever made had to be the 1959-60 models, with the requisite tailfins (aka batwings) of the era. They were certainly slimmer and more aerodynamic than the 1958 models which lasted just a single year… more»

1959 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman Barn Find!

  In the late 1950s, the auto industry was witnessing the collapse of the Edsel, Ford’s ambitious effort that flamed out after little more than two years on the market. Fewer noticed the decline that DeSoto was experiencing over… more»
