Worth Fixing? 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback

Offered with no back story, no title, and only a door tag VIN pictured, this 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 in Aragon, Georgia needs just about everything. That’s fine, though, because few cars demand as much attention in the… more»

1 of 429: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible

Plymouth built the Road Runner for more than a dozen years (if you include the Volare-based version of the late 1970s). But only two of those years included a convertible (1969 and 1970). The first generation of the hot… more»

One-Owner 1965 Sunbeam Tiger

Affordable Supercar: 49k Mile 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

Let’s face it: the 1970s and 1980s were pretty miserable years if you were a performance car enthusiast. The horsepower of once potent vehicles dribbled out the exhaust, and the need to comply with evolving safety legislation added weight… more»

1-of-3 Rarity: 1993 Lister Corvette

I am beginning to wonder about rarity – plenty of super expensive sports cars and exotics which are 1 of 1, command ridiculous prices at auctions when on the other side of the coin there are run-of-the-mill economy boxes… more»

Project + Parts Car: 1960 Dodge Matador

Dodge began the 1960s with a whole new naming logic for its automobiles. Out were the Coronet, Custom, Custom Royal, and Lancer, and in were the Dart, Matador, and Polara. The Matador had a lower level of trim but… more»

No Reserve 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J

This 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix J proves we should never judge a book by its cover. It features tired paint and visible rust, but below the skin beats a heart of pure gold. It has ticked the boxes for… more»

No Reserve 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible

450 Horsepower! 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 454

You’ve probably heard the old saw that is often applied to valuable muscle cars that goes something like this, “Of the 4,439 1970 SS 454 LS6 Chevelles built, there’s only about 7,000 still in existence!”. That’s a stab at… more»

290 HP V8! 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Ford produced the Boss 302 for two years, 1969 and 1970, to help improve its standing in auto racing, specifically the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Its 302 cubic inch V8 differed from the one in Ford’s family… more»

’42 Or ’46? Second-Gen Chevrolet Suburban

I find this 1942 Chevrolet Suburban interesting for two reasons. First, the Suburban nameplate, first introduced in 1935, is the oldest U.S. automotive model name in continual use. And second, finding a domestic 1942-anything is a surprise as so… more»

BF Auction: 1988 Ford Thunderbird 5.0

1934 Chevrolet Master Coupe Barn Find
