Worth Saving? 1974 Pontiac GTO

The GTO was a hot property in the 1960s, but by 1974 it was an option package on the compact Ventura. That would be its last year until a brief resurrection in 2004 on an Australian-based GM model. This… more»

Family Truckster? 1972 Plymouth Suburban

Well, it’s not as ugly as the Griswold’s ride, perhaps it’s the lack of faux wood scattered all about the exterior that gives this whammer-jammer of a Plymouth a pass. But pea-green it is! Chevrolet and Ford full-size wagons… more»

No Reserve Ranger: 1974 Ford Bronco

Bidding is knocking up against $30,000 for this extremely well preserved 1974 Ford Bronco with the sought-after Ranger package. The truck is highly original with the sort of patina that can’t be faked, and just a few sensible updates… more»

Original Paint: 1973 Dodge Challenger Desert Find

Dodge was a hold-out coming to the pony car party. Whereas the Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda started the ball rolling in 1964, the Dodge Challenger wouldn’t arrive until the 1970 model year. It would share its underpinnings with… more»

S-Code 390: 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

The Ford Mustang got its first styling update in 1967. But nothing that changed its looks. Sales weren’t as robust as they were in 1965-66, but how can you top 1.2 million units anyway? This fastback was an S-Code… more»

Amazing Survivor: 1941 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead

Few classic vehicles have developed the kind of cult following that we see with Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Pre-war examples create strong interest when they appear on the market, especially if they are original and unmolested. This 1941 Harley FL demonstrates… more»

Worth Fixing? 1973 Pontiac Trans Am 455

This 1973 Pontiac Trans Am is a matching numbers example that has unfortunately been sitting for several years, parked in 1978 under the trees and left to rot. It’s a shame, too, as the car retains many original parts,… more»

1959 Plymouth Belvedere Barn Find

1959 was the third and final year of the original “Forward Look” Chrysler cars that had set the industry on fire – styling-wise, that is. Whereas the ’58 Plymouths had been largely warmed-over ‘57s, the ‘59s would take space-age… more»

Highly-Optioned Truck: 1972 Chevrolet C10

By 1972 we were starting to see some evidence that tightening emission standards would negatively impact the performance of the great V8. However, it was still possible to secure a pickup that offered decent horsepower figures. This 1972 Chevrolet… more»

Ram Air 390: 1970 AMC Javelin SST

After a slight update for the 1970 model year, AMC’s Javelin still ran the gamut from a sporty looking car with a six-cylinder to an all-out muscle car with a big V8. This 1970 AMC Javelin SST is the… more»

Stored 25 Years: 1968 AMC Javelin

By 1968, there was only one American Motors car left that carried the Rambler name, the American. The powers-that-be felt that the name – which had been used by AMC since 1954 – left the company with a stodgy… more»

One Owner California Survivor: 1972 Capri

When I hear “Capri” my mind immediately goes to the Fox-body generation that was built from 1979 to 1986. Maybe those a little younger than me first think of the 2-door roadster built from 1991 to 1994. Even though… more»

Barn Bound Since ’79: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

Plucked from a barn where it resided since 1979 is this ’68 Chevrolet Corvette. It seems odd that barn jail was this ‘Vette’s fate once it attained the ripe young age of only eleven years. Whatever the case, the… more»

Supercharged Test Mule: 2001 Roush Mustang RP6

This 2001 Ford Mustang RP6 is a rare prototype of a limited edition model known as the 380R, a supercharged GT offered by one of the more recognized Mustang builders and tuners. The example shown here is believed to… more»
