Simple Short Bed: 1984 GMC Sierra 1500

The seller of this used 1984 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup purchased it for converting into a hot rod, but has since found a truck he likes better for the future build. This one is a clean, short-box pickup with an… more»

No Reserve: 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country

As the 1980s dawned, Chrysler found itself in a state of financial embarrassment. More accurately, the company was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. The reality was that the American motor industry faced the unthinkable prospect of “the big… more»

Sweet 283 V-8? 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan

The ’57 Chevy has to be one of the most-often restored cars from the 1950s. You almost always see one of these at a car show. And why not? They were graceful machines that were arguably the best looking… more»

Worth Saving? 1968 Ford Bronco V8

First-generation Broncos have always been popular. The classic look, removable top, and off-road versatility appeal to many. I wonder if the introduction of the new 2021 Bronco will spark new interest in the classic models. The first-generation Bronco had… more»

Original Family Owned: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

A first-gen Monte Carlo is my favorite; I really have little interest in the MC after those first three years (’70-’72). And a first-gen isn’t that unusual a find, they are still pretty common. But most cars, especially if… more»

One Owner: 1993 Ford Mustang GT

With colder weather just around the corner, many of us face the decision about what to do to keep ourselves busy until the sun shines through once again. There are worse ideas than spending some time in your workshop… more»

502-Powered: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 396 Convertible

Due to a set of unfortunate circumstances, this 1968 Camaro RS/SS Convertible no longer has its original 396 under the hood. However, a 502ci Crate Motor should mean that it has enough performance to keep anyone happy. As you… more»

AWD Motorcycle: 1980 Rokon Ranger

A lot of us who live in the upper-Midwest, northeast part of the US, Canada, and other northern climates have to put away our motorcycles in the winter months. If you happen to live where there’s snow on the… more»

Only 22k Miles: 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

If you were to list the top selling cars of all time, the Olds Cutlass Supreme would have to be on it. Over the course of more than 30 years, different platforms and several generations, nearly 12 million of… more»

Parked in 1999: One-Owner 1974 AMC Gremlin

This isn’t a Hemi Cuda, Porsche 356, or some other incredibly valuable car, but this 1974 AMC Gremlin is a dusty barn find nonetheless. It’s also a one-owner car that has been parked for over two decades and it… more»

Original Survivor: 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

The third-generation Plymouth Valiant was a sedan-only compact from 1967-69 until the fastback Duster came along in 1970. A year later, they added the 2-door hardtop Scamp to the line-up – and for the most part – it was… more»

Only 24K Miles! 1989 Maserati TC

OK, is it a Maserati, a LeBaron, something in between or just a poseur. It’s got that special Italian name but it has an everyday K-Car look about it. Whatever the case, we’ll figure it out as best we… more»

Estate Sale Find: 1976 GMC 1500 Sierra Classic

This 1976 GMC 1500 Sierra Classic Pickup is about as tidy and clean as they come. It appears to have led a relatively pampered life, and the fact that it has spent the majority of it in California has… more»

Asleep For A Decade: 1964 Pontiac GTO

My favorite Pontiac GTO is the model’s first year, 1964, and here’s a quite-nice coupe here on craigslist in Temecula, California that can be had for $15,000. The 1964 model year was the first for the GTO and a… more»

15k Mile Survivor: 1979 Mercury Capri Turbo RS

By 1978, the imported first-generation Mercury Capri was on its way out. For 1979, Mercury would roll out a new Capri, one that was based on the same Fox-Body that the new Mustang used. To many, this was a… more»

1-of-865 Garage Find: 1980 AMC Spirit AMX

When the two-seat AMX was dropped after 1970, the name would continue to pop up again throughout the coming decade. Javelin AMX. Hornet AMX. Concord AMX. And the Spirit AMX. The latter was no longer a fire-breathing GT, but… more»
