Drop-Top KR! 1968 Shelby GT500KR

You might say an original, never-restored Shelby in this condition sells itself. Nevertheless, the listing for this 1968 Shelby GT500KR (King of the Road) in Tifton, Georgia includes numerous pictures and a decent description here on Hemmings. Ironically I’m… more»

10K Original Miles: 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC

429 Power! 1971 Ford Ranchero

Slim listing, few images but a fantastic find in the form of a 1971 Ford Ranchero packing a 429 CI V8 engine. It may or may not be a GT model, just a generic Ranchero, and there are only… more»

Easy Project? 1964 Ford Fairlane 500

For most of the 1950s, most U.S. automobile manufacturers offered just one size of the car. Then in the late 1950s, the compact was born. And by the early 1960s, there were three including the intermediate. For 1962, the… more»
