American Classic Cars

Get alerted of new American finds:

1973 International 1110 Shortbed Stepside

My gourd what a great-looking truck! Ok, enough of that. We don’t see enough International pickups as far as I’m concerned, is that because they didn’t make as many pickups as Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge did (duh), or is… more»

24,120 Miles! 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

This 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona has so many good things going for it that it’s hard to decide where to begin! It has been off the road since 1973, had the same owner for almost 40 years, and has… more»

Classic Short Bed: 1972 Dodge D100

Simple, yet effective: that’s seemingly the best way to describe this short-bed 1972 Dodge D100 pickup. These are simple machines, and this one has some great patina that the seller has handily baked in courtesy of spraying some clearcoat… more»

Garage Find? 1973 Chevrolet Caprice

Looking eerie, this 1973 Chevrolet Caprice hardtop reminds me of something one might find in Hannibal Lecter’s garage. There’s really no backstory as to how, or why, it ended up where it is, as it is – but this… more»

No Reserve Bubbletop: 1961 Pontiac Ventura

Yesterday, in a post about a ’65 Ford Galaxie 500, I speculated about full-size car design in the ’60s and how 1965, in particular, set the direction for new looks that were the way forward for the ’60s. In… more»

Rare Gulfstream Aqua: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Sometimes it is possible to look at a classic car on the internet and wonder what all of the fuss is about. At other times, you can look at the photos and instantly understand why it has generated enormous… more»

Cool Crew Cab: 1979 Dodge D-200 Adventurer

This is a big truck for a big crew in Big Sky Country – Montana. Four-door trucks are as thick as generic, silver commuter cars in almost every city in the country and they rarely have anyone in the… more»

Three-Speed Project: 1965 Ford Galaxie 500

There’s no doubt about it, I like old American full-size cars. Even when they were common-place, I enjoyed their presence. Particularly, models from the early-’60s into the early ’70s caught my fancy and they didn’t have to be Pontiac… more»

Overhead Cam Six: 1967 Pontiac Tempest Wagon

It’s sometimes easy to forget that General Motors was quite an innovative company in the 1960s. One example of this forward-thinking was the overhead cam six-cylinder (OHC6) engine that was the brainchild of Pontiac Chief Engineer John DeLorean. At… more»

1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo With 18,678 Original Miles!

It doesn’t matter at what point in history you might be, there will always be a focus on retro items and eras. In the 1970s, people tended to fixate on the 1950s, while in the 1980s, it was all… more»

Rat Rod or Restore? 1938 Willys Pickup

This 1938 Willys Pickup is a relatively rare beast that the owner found languishing in a barn. It is a solid classic that is mechanically complete. The buyer has the choice of restoring the Willys, or it could make… more»

Price Dropped: 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham

When it was launched, the original Oldsmobile Toronado was a groundbreaking American car that captured the attention of both the motoring press and the buying public. The design philosophy remained essentially unchanged throughout the badge’s production life, although the… more»

1-Of-1: 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi

It is one thing for an owner to believe that the classic car parked in their garage is unique, but it is another thing altogether when they hold the documentation that proves it as a fact. That is the… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Opel GT 1.9

Debuting in 1965 at the Paris and Frankfurt motor shows, the Opel GT was originally just a styling exercise. Come 1968, however, they decided to make it a real, live car. Exceptionally lightweight, its base model 1.1 liter, 87… more»

26K Mile Rust-Free 1973 Pontiac Ventura

It’s hard to categorize this one. Is it a low-mile, rust-free original spec beauty with a V8 engine and factory air-conditioning, or… Well, actually that sounds pretty good to me, let’s stick with that. The seller of this gorgeous… more»

Fresh 390: 1971 Ford F100

Custom builds can come in all shapes and styles. Some can be pretty wild, while others can be subtle and tasteful. This 1971 Ford F100 fits into the latter category, and it offers potential buyers a lot for their… more»
