Race, Refurbish, or Restore? 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

Drive While You Fix! 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Oldsmobile Cutlass station wagons, such as this 1969 example, make regular appearances here on BF. And it’s a bit surprising as the total production was light with only 8,700 copies produced – lasting Olds quality I guess. This one’s… more»

2-Door Hardtop: 1968 AMC Ambassador 990

The sixth-generation Ambassador was totally restyled from the previous somewhat-stodgy designs. The fifth-gen cars are my personal favorites, but I’m somewhat stodgy, too. The new cars were only two inches longer, but they looked much more modern. The seller… more»

Unrestored Original! 1960 Rambler Six Super

The 1958 through 1960 Ramblers were updated from the 1956 and 1957 models, with more sharp-edged styling and all-important tailfins. They would be the last of the 1950s-era styling as the sleek new Rambler Classic would come along in… more»

One Owner: 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner

Worthwhile Project? 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

It seems as though back in 2020 this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro made a long trailer journey from North to South, as that’s how long ago the seller purchased it and the F-Body still has a Michigan title.  It’s now… more»
