Rust-Free Bricknose: 1991 Ford F-250 4×4 351 V8

I’d almost want to switch the eighth and seventh-generation F-Series pickup nicknames around. This eighth-generation 1991 Ford F-250 4×4 has a front end that’s too smooth for a brick, whereas the seventh-gen trucks are a bit more square, sharp-edged,… more»

Old-School Survivor: 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

For Corvette purists and vintage performance fans alike, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible offers the kind of originality and character that’s hard to replicate. Listed here on eBay with no reserve, it’s powered by a correct 327 cubic-inch V8… more»

Survivor Convertible: 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T 440

If you’re hunting for a genuine slice of Mopar history, this 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T convertible might check all the right boxes. Listed here on eBay, this survivor-grade drop-top reportedly retains its original 440-cubic-inch engine and automatic transmission, with… more»

Mellow Yellow: 1929 Ford Model A

So, what’s in a color? Well, I guess it depends on the precise color and what it’s actually covering. Take this 1929 Ford Model A, for example. Normally, I would have skipped doing a review; we’ve covered so many… more»

Solid and Mostly Original 1975 AMC Pacer

Yesterday, we featured a very nice 1973 Gremlin on the site, one of those quirky AMC offerings that’s aged well through the years.  Perhaps even more of an oddity that followed from the brand was their Pacer, which was… more»

Genuine Fuelie: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

The word “iconic” is one of the most overused in the classic world, but there is probably none better to describe the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. The last of the renowned “Tri-Five” range, 1957 marked a high point in… more»

Original 428: 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix Convertible

It is sometimes fairly evident that the original owner of a classic was someone “in the know.” Such is the case with this 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix Convertible. Its first owner worked at a Pontiac dealership, deciding to take… more»

65k-Mile Survivor: 340-Powered 1971 Plymouth Road Runner

It didn’t take long after the Plymouth Road Runner’s introduction as a 1968 model for the motoring world to start taking things altogether more seriously. The fun, cheap little hot rods with the Beep Beep! horn barely left a… more»

No Sting Remaining: 1969 Dodge Super Bee Project

The Dodge Super Bee seems to be one of the more forgotten B-Bodies from the muscle car era, and it’s not that it wasn’t a fine offering, but rather that its production numbers fell short of some competitors, such… more»

Sporty Fresh Plum Hatchback: 1973 AMC Gremlin X

In the seventies, my family owned a Gremlin long before it was cool to be seen in one.  As a result, I developed an appreciation for the oddly-shaped AMC subcompact during a period when many folks were just laughing… more»

One-Family-Owned: Four-Speed 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2

Because there were over 680,000 of them built and there are plenty to go around, 1965 Mustangs have always represented a rare combination of affordability and collectability in the classic car marketplace. These days, however, they seem to be… more»

Power Pack and Patina! 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air

This 1956 Chevy Bel Air has been sitting for 20 years, perhaps outdoors. But it seems to be in surprisingly good condition, though we doubt it runs, and we don’t know the status of the interior. But it has… more»

2 for 1: Pair of 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Projects

Ford reinvented the Fairlane in 1962 as a new size of car – the intermediate. It was sandwiched between the full-size Galaxies/Customs and the relatively new Falcon compact (1960). The first generation of the “new” Fairlane was through 1965,… more»

Same Owner 23 Years: 1961 Buick Special

Buick resurrected the Special nameplate in 1961 and applied it to their new “senior” compact. It was joined elsewhere within GM by the Pontiac Tempest and Oldsmobile F-85 (Chevy was peddling the air-cooled Corvair). Separating the Buick from the… more»

Factory Air: 454-Powered 1974 GMC Sprint

At first glance, this 1974 GMC Sprint might not look like anything particularly special, unless you are a rabid fan of General Motors car/truck hybrids. The GMC version of Chevy’s El Camino, however, was never made in any great… more»

Patina Wrapped Driver! 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88

Over the years, Oldsmobile sold a large number of automobiles with the 88 name (sometimes referred to as Eighty-Eight). The most commonly used moniker was the Delta 88, but the Jetstar 88 was also in the mix for three… more»
