Mint Condition Islander: 1989 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler today still bears some resemblance to its forebears, but much has been lost in the translation. The modern Wrangler is just big – it’s long enough in four-door and Rubicon form to make parallel parking a… more»

I don’t know what it is about the fifth-generation Thunderbird but almost every time I see one it looks like it’s in a brochure, it’s just that kind of car. The seller has this gorgeous, original personal luxury car… more»

Restore or Rod? 1948 Chevrolet Business Coupe

Decisions, decisions. The person who buys this 1948 Chevrolet Business Coupe will have a few to make before this classic returns to active duty. There’s no doubt that it would respond positively to a total restoration, but it would… more»

Electric Conversion Project: 1967 Chevrolet Ultravan

The Ultravan has an interesting but brief history and – though it began with Corvair engineering beneath it – Chevrolet never produced it. Only a few hundred were built by different ownership groups from 1960-74. This one is amid… more»

1 of 101: 1989 Avanti Convertible

The Avanti was the iconic car built by Studebaker for 1963-64, during the financial decline of the storied automobile manufacturer. Over two model years, only about 4,600 Avanti’s saw the light of day. After Studebaker quit making cars in… more»

4-Speed 4×4: 1991 Dodge Power Ram 250 SE

This 1991 Dodge Power Ram 250 SE 4×4 isn’t all dusty and dirty and it wasn’t pulled out of a barn in non-running condition. It is, however, one of the nicest vintage, original 4×4 pickups that we’ve seen in… more»

Sleeper 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle

While it’s hard to call a bright red 1968 Chevelle a sleeper, this one probably fits the term. The 327 fender tags are the first trick and although this isn’t a Malibu, it looks like a fairly “stock” Chevelle…. more»

Numbers Matching Project: 1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda

Genuine AAR ‘Cudas don’t exactly grow on trees, so we tend to take note when one shows up for sale. Of course, these days, almost any muscle car of value gets restored no matter how bad it is, but… more»

Mystery Hoard of Buicks, Fords, and More!

Someone on social media with a Facebook account posted a collection of cars here on Facebook Marketplace but doesn’t list where they are or if they are even for sale. Some of them are tucked away safe and sound… more»

440 V8 Project: 1967 Plymouth Satellite

Replacement Body: 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Project

In the pantheon of all-time collectible cars, I have to admit that Corvettes don’t garner my attention much anymore. There are just so many of them and they get lost in a sea of similarities. That’s not to take… more»

Two Engines Included! 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7

Recalling back when the 1967 Mercury Cougar was introduced, it immediately caught my attention. A neighbor had just purchased a new ’67 Mustang and I wasn’t wild about its minor restyling from its ’66 predecessor. I knew the Cougar… more»

Turn-Key Survivor: 1970 Dodge Charger

It’s always fun to find an original muscle car that is drivable as-is. This one is a great example of a car that has been used, but loved, and while it needs a few things addressed here and there… more»

U-Code 440/4-Speed: 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda
