Rare Two-Door 1960 Chevrolet Station Wagon Project

I had to do a double-take when I saw this one. I’ve never seen a two-door ’60 Chevy station wagon. I didn’t even though they made one. It’s easy to see why they’re popular with the Hot Rod and… more»

Package Deal: Pair of 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s

1970 AMC Javelin SST 360 Driver!

The first generation AMC Javelin spent its 1968-1970 model life seemingly one step behind other pony cars such as Mustangs & Camaros. Essentially a shortened, fastback Hornet (certainly a decent platform to start from!) the Javelin was a nicer… more»

If the original 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra gave strong hints that Ford had rediscovered its performance mojo, the 1996 edition seemed to seal the deal. Buyers suddenly found that they could slip behind the wheel of a Mustang that… more»

Project Poncho: No Reserve 1985 Pontiac Fiero

The seller has this project 1985 Pontiac Fiero in front of a nice little Buick Special in a double storage unit and it looks like something that I would do, and have done. A lot of us have squirreled… more»

Rust-Free Montana Truck: 1987 Dodge Ram D150

This 1987 Dodge D150 shortbed pickup has a great look, doesn’t it? It’s as if it may have been a forest service truck or a similar agency pickup. Being from Montana appears to have saved it from rust, although… more»

Black Beauty! 1963 Chrysler New Yorker

This! This is, unfortunately, a rapidly disappearing component of the domestic automotive scene, a full-size, actual passenger sedan/hardtop. The big full-size cars started a disappearing act years ago and were replaced by big SUV’s so the size component just… more»

Fuelie Racer: 1959 Chevrolet Corvette

While a steady diet of barn-found cars is what one would expect on Barn Finds, we deviate from time to time to marvel at other automotive categories that are generally not found in barns or garages. Today, we have… more»

Rare Brougham Calienta: 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado

This 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is a rare “Caliente” edition, basically the top billing for one of these if you had the hunger to own a luxury car in the height of the malaise era. While the Toronado nameplate… more»

Take a look at this highly original one-family Ford! The 1975 Ford F-100 Ranger in Iva, South Carolina served two generations, covered 107,000 miles, and appears to have dodged accidents, rust, abuse, and neglect. Now it seeks a new… more»

Two-Owner Project: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
