No Reserve: 1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega

The 1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega showed enormous promise as an alternative performance model during the mid-1970s. It had one major failing that prevented it from becoming a sales success. It was expensive. No, I mean really expensive. Therefore, while… more»

1 of 519: 1964 Studebaker Avanti R1

351/4-Speed: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

The shiny Magnum 500 wheels gracing the four corners of this 1969 Mustang Mach 1 are the tip of the iceberg. The seller planned a restoration for this structurally solid classic, so they accumulated a fair supply of new… more»

The Anti-SUV: 1977 Mercury Colony Park

Surprisingly, this beautiful 1977 Mercury Colony Park isn’t really that big, comparatively, despite how huge it appears or how big you may remember them being. It’s under nineteen feet in length and while that’s still big, there were longer… more»
