1966 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 396 V8

Literally a fancy Impala, the Chevy Caprice snuck onto the market halfway through 1965 as a higher trim level car than the Impala. A friend from high school had a 1965 sedan in white with a blue top and… more»

One Owner: 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix

UPDATE 12/10/2024: This 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix brought mixed responses from our readers when we featured it in October, and it appears that the seller didn’t taste success with their fixed-price approach at $18,000. Therefore, they are making another… more»

One-Family-Owned: 1984 Buick Riviera 307 V8

This 1984 Buick Riviera is four decades old now but a brochure touting it as being a “contemporary classic” seems like it would still apply today. It’s a car that most people could use as a daily driver, a… more»

1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Cruiser 455 V8

Looking great in a color that I believe is Chamois Gold, and having been repainted six years ago (and apparently debadged, unfortunately) this car is listed as a 1973 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, but I believe it’s a Cutlass Supreme… more»

Rare Muscle Truck: 1989 Dodge Shelby Dakota

The Shelby Dakota was a one-and-done in that it was only offered by Dodge in just one model year (1989). Just 1,475 were built, with most of the magic coming under the hood from Shelby Carroll’s shop in California…. more»

Mayfair Maize: 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Power, style, and top-down motoring make an attractive combination, and this GTO has it all. Faded non-original red paint and cosmetic imperfections won’t sideline bidders on this claimed lifetime Georgia classic. Hidden headlights and the Endura front helped the… more»

Sunroof Delete: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra

The Fox body generation of the Ford Mustang Cobra represented perhaps one of the broader introductions of a collectible Ford in the modern era. While cars like the Saleen Mustang and ASC McLaren cars had existed up this point,… more»

12k-Mile Survivor? 1963 Chrysler Imperial

The Imperial was Chrysler’s premium automobile dating to 1926. In 1955, hoping to better distinguish it from other Chrysler products, the company branded the line strictly as Imperials. The goal was to try to catch up with Cadillac and… more»

Hatchback Survivor: 1980 Dodge Colt Twin-Stick

A Dodge Colt brochure calls this car “the eight-speed wonder of the world”, a clever take on “the eighth wonder of the world.” They’re referring to the famous Twin-Stick manual transmission, a unique two-range (power and economy) four-speed, effectively… more»

72k Original Miles: 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

Oldsmobile broke new ground in 1966 when it released its Toronado as a Personal Luxury Car. It was the first American-designed and built front-wheel-drive model since the demise of the Cord 812 in 1937. The drivetrain configuration proved a… more»

Rare K-Code 289 V8: 1963 Ford Fairlane

Ford decided to add a mid-sized product between the compact Falcon and full-size Galaxie. That happened in 1962, and the company repositioned the well-known Fairlane nameplate for consumer familiarity. During the car’s first generation, most were sold as family… more»

No Reserve Driver: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

With Christmas fast approaching, I can’t think of a better time for classic car enthusiasts to buy themselves something special to park under their tree. It could be small, but pulling out the stops with a car like this… more»

Put An LS In It! 1949 Diamond T Dairy Van

We come across some pretty unusual things here on BF, or maybe I should say that barn finders like T.J. come up with some pretty unusual things. A case in point is this 1949 Diamond T truck outfitted with… more»

Stalled Race Roller: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

The Camaro was Chevrolet’s answer to the Ford Mustang and sold quite well upon its introduction in 1967. The 1968 models were little changed, and most were sold with a V8 engine like this one had when it left… more»

Modern Beater?: 2003 Mustang Mach 1

Say “Mustang Mach 1,” and you conjure up images of a rip-snorting late-1960s muscle machine, with a hood scoop and other body enhancements that either make the car go faster, or look like they could do so. This is… more»

Dentside 4×4: 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger

While technically falling just outside the era of being an actual Highboy, this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger 4×4 appears to have a bit of a lift on it. Round headlights went away for the 1979 model year, at least… more»
