Primered Project: 1958 Chevrolet Impala

The 1958 Chevies were nothing like their predecessors. They were longer, wider, lower, and heavier. And would prove to be a one-year-only design as General Motors rapidly tried to play catch-up to the futuristic “Forward Look” products that Chrysler… more»

When it comes to the Hurst/Olds, the 1975 model may not be the first one to come up in a conversation at your local car show.  Sure, their predecessors may have had more muscle and overall excitement, but if… more»

Rare Drop-Top: 1950 Dodge Wayfarer

When you hear the term “roadster” you usually think of a small, open two-seat sports car often built in England. But Dodge expanded the concept in 1949-52 with its Wayfarer line of cars, which included a 3-passenger convertible called… more»

Briarwood Survivor: 1991 Jeep Cherokee

The XJ-series Jeep Cherokee is a well-known quantity by this point, celebrated for its off-prowess, extremely reliable powertrains, and classic good looks. While we have seen some definite high watermark sales that show collectors love to find these in… more»

Supercharged V10: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10

Combining a high degree of preservation with desirable modifications is a difficult line to walk, but this supercharged 1996 Dodge Viper V10 seems to do a fine job of striking that balance. With just over 50,000 original miles, it’s… more»

Built and Parked: 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix

Owned For 45 Years! 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible

I’ve always been a strong advocate for long-term ownership when considering purchasing a classic car. That is one of the things that makes this 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible attractive to me. Apart from being a handsome vehicle, it… more»

20th Anniversary Coupe: 1984 Ford Mustang GT350

I was tracking this rare 1984 Ford Mustang GT350 a few days ago when the ad disappeared; somewhat unexpectedly, it reappeared this week. This is a limited-production muscle car that has been nicely updated, so I wasn’t surprised to… more»

Only 48k Miles! 1976 Mercury Monarch

Built alongside the Ford Granada, the Mercury Monarch was something of an upscale compact. It was positioned above the Maverick-based Comet and below the mid-sized Montego. The car was in production between 1975-80 with more than 575,000 copies to… more»

83k Original Miles: 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe

Superchaged V8: 1998 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

1 of 444: 1957 Continental Mark II

The Mark II was Ford Motor Company’s image car in the 1950s, produced in limited quantities to compete with the likes of Rolls-Royce. Rumor has it that Ford lost money on every one of them that they built. It… more»

No Reserve Tent Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Esprit

Here’s a nice surprise, a second-generation Pontiac Firebird that isn’t black and “Eastbound and Down”, it’s not a Trans Am and there’s no sign of a screaming Chicken anywhere in sight. Nope, this ‘Bird is a first-year, second-gen example… more»

Petty Blue Project: 1972 Plymouth ‘Cuda

Plymouth’s pony car, the Barracuda, arrived on the scene about the same time as the Ford Mustang, but it didn’t generate the kind of interest its competitor did. So, in 1970, the company decided to separate the Barracuda from… more»

Signed by Shelby: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
