Basic Transportation? 1971 AMC Javelin

Rare 4-Speed: 1976 Chevrolet Suburban

Barn Find Flareside: 1967 Ford F-100 Pickup

This 1971 Ford F-100 Stepside, or Flareside, vacillates between trendy patina, old school surface rust, and just plain ol’ rust. It’s a barn find that the seller just cleaned up, refinished the wheels and that’s about it. This shortbox… more»

Turn-Key Classic: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427

NHRA Record Holder! 1967 Pontiac GTO

Garage Kept Convertible: 1988 Ford Mustang GT

This 1988 Ford Mustang GT convertible is a low-mileage specimen that presents extremely well, albeit with some minor issues to sort out. Ford offered this generation of the Fox body in a variety of color combos that featured the… more»

Original 440: 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T

The 1967 model year saw the introduction of the R/T version of the Dodge Coronet. Buyers had the choice of two engines in this variation, and even the “entry-level” 440ci V8 offered impressive levels of performance. That is what… more»

Original Paint: 1978 Chevrolet C10 4×4 Shortbed

It’s no secret that Chevrolet’s “squarebody” trucks are seeing a rise in both popularity and prices, even though the company sold this generation of the C/K Series truck for nearly 20 years. This 1977 Chevrolet Silverado K-10 Shortbed that Barn… more»

Nice Patina: 1964 Dodge D100 Pickup

Older vehicles with a patina finish certainly have a unique look, and those who modify vehicles often enjoy using vehicles with weathered paint as the starting point for a project. The seller of this 1964 Dodge D100 that’s available… more»

Four-Door Mustang: 1985 Ford LTD 5.0 LX

This 5.0L V8-equipped 1985 Ford LTD sedan is one of my favorite factory sleepers, as it doesn’t get much sleepier than an LTD sedan. Ford made these in exceedingly limited quantities for a mainstream model, and it’s one of… more»

It’s rare that a car checks these three boxes: affordable; blessed by Caroll Shelby; an 80s hot hatch; and legitimately quick. That’s what we have, however, with this super clean 1986 Shelby Omni GLH-S which comes up for auction… more»

Desert Classic: 1971 AMC Gremlin
