Nicest One Left? 1973 Dodge Dart Custom

Wrecking Yard Project: 1929 Ford Model A Truck

Special Delivery: 1962 Studebaker Zip Van

One Family Drop-Top: 1972 Pontiac LeMans Sport

The LeMans Sport was something of a crossover between the regular LeMans mid-size and the GTO muscle car. From the front, it looked a bit like a GTO but didn’t necessarily have the big-block V8s the GTO was famous… more»

Former Telephone Truck: 1949 Chevrolet 3100

SS Tribute Project? 1972 Chevelle Malibu

This ’72 Chevelle was a father/son project back in the 1990s. Considerable work was done back then to upgrade the car and more work is still needed now, especially with the engine. The seller doesn’t know if this car… more»

289 Hi-Po: 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

This 1967 Mustang Fastback has been in the care of its current owner for more than 30-years. It exhibits all of the hallmarks of a classic that has been treated with respect, and its overall condition is above average… more»

Running 383 V8 Project: 1968 Dodge Charger

When Chrysler redesigned their B-bodied intermediates for 1968, the Dodge Charger would be one of the big winners. Sales shot up from just 16,000 units to 96,100 automobiles. This ’68 Charger project looks like it’s well on its way… more»

10,000-mile Survivor! 1991 Ford Mustang 5.0

Since it was introduced in 1964 (and a half, but that’s another story), the Ford Mustang has defined an entire class of vehicle and driver. Originally marketed as a sporty version of an economy car (the Falcon), it appealed… more»

Garage Find: 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe
