51k Mile Survivor: 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Spare 351: 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Three Wheeling Oddball: 1983 Urba Sport Trimuter

I remember these as some of the more outré electric cars available in the 1980s. The Urba Sport “Trimuter” could be powered by 10 six-volt batteries and an electric motor, or by a 16 horsepower Briggs & Stratton twin-cylinder… more»

Rust-Free Survivor: 1973 Ford Country Squire

While there might be evidence of surface corrosion in a few spots around this 1973 Country Squire, it is a classic wagon that has remained rust-free. It could use some light restoration work, but none of this work would… more»

1 of 758: 1979 Ford Ranchero Squire

Living in a Bubble! 1957 Airstream Bubble

“Cute as a button,” my late Grandmother would have said of this 1957 Airstream Bubble in Little Rock, Arkansas. Airstream, arguably the most glamorous of vintage trailers, only produced the 16-foot Bubble model from 1955 through 1958, though a… more»

Carport Find: 1955 Pontiac Chieftain Wagon

Let’s start by saying that the seller doesn’t indicate the model of this wagon. In fact, the headline calls it a Chevy Corvette, but he corrects that later. We believe this is a Chieftain as it was the only… more»

Five Speed Survivor: 1986 Ford Mustang GT

Worn but not worn out is how this 1986 Ford Mustang GT can be described. It has clearly seen a lot of outside time and the sun has worked its Canyon Red finish over pretty extensively. With 122K miles… more»

Attention Grabber? 1972 Ford Maverick Grabber

After a long and successful run, the compact Ford Falcon was retired to make way for the new Maverick in 1969. It was a much sportier looking car, but it still had Falcon roots underneath it. No doubt in… more»

Fire Fighter Special: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

This Chevy Camaro had a recent scare in that it very nearly became a victim of the California wildfires. We’re told the flames came within eight feet of the car, but the fire fighters were able to beat them… more»

When a movement becomes popular enough, it’s not long until the big OEMs decide to get in on the fun and start offering a factory version of what individual customizers and the aftermarket have been building all along. In… more»

Dock Find: 1992 Piver Trimaran Multihull Sailboat

The auction ends soon for this donated oddball of a boat, known as a Piver Trimaran, a multihull creation from the mind of entrepreneur Arthur Piver. The company pioneered this novel design, and demonstrated its ability to perform cross-continental… more»
