Crazy Color Combo: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette

Chicken Coop Find: 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J

5.0 V8 Included: 1929 Ford Model A Roadster

Talk about a skinny garage find! This 1929 Ford Model A is really packed in there. The seller describes it as a Roadster/Cabriolet but I can’t decide which because I can’t get a good look at the windshield frame,… more»

Three Pedal Performer: 1994 Ford Taurus SHO

Super High Output! What’s not to like? Finding a new domestic sedan in the late ’80s that was only available with a manual transmission was a total throwback – in a good way! Kudos to Ford for the Taurus… more»

1959 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible Project

1959 was the third year of Chrysler’s “Forward Look” cars and just one year away from the “Suddenly, it’s 1960!” marketing campaign catching up with reality. Pundits will argue that the 1959 models were less attractive than their 1957-58… more»

Pickup Project: 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express

A few months back we reviewed a 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express that was undergoing a restoration. That example elicited interesting comments as it seemed to capture some imaginations. So, for round two, here is another ’37 Studebaker Coupe Express,… more»

440 Sleeper: 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger

24k Mile Survivor: 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

UPDATE 5/13/21: The car apparently didn’t sell after we covered it in October 2020, so the seller has relisted it for $1,500 less. The asking price is now $16,000. It’s available here on craigslist for $16,000. Still a sharp… more»

1-of-75? 1982 Electrek Uncar

Back in the 1970s, manufacturers were tinkering with electric-powered cars in response to the energy crisis. One of the results was a short-lived, low production EV built by Unique Mobility in Colorado. Perhaps it was functional, but it wasn’t… more»

Time Capsule: 1977 Ford F-350 Country Camper

It’s rare to find vintage motorhomes in survivor-grade condition. While it’s been well-documented that they have a high tendency to become water-logged beaters after years as someone’s mobile castle, even examples that are loved by long-term owners are used… more»
