Fuel Injected Big Block: 1967 Pontiac Firebird

It can sometimes be unwise to judge a book by its cover, which is the case with this 1967 Pontiac Firebird. It undeniably needs some cosmetic TLC, but a heart of pure gold beats beneath the tired exterior. The… more»

Micro Sports Car: 1943 (?) Crosley Hot Shot

Crosley Motors was a small, independent American manufacturer of subcompact cars (aka microcars). The company was active from 1939 to 1952, with a timeout during World War II. A runabout convertible called the Hot Shot was one of their… more»

1 of 260 Built: 1974 Plymouth Road Runner

Good things can come in small packages. In this case, a good thing came in a large enclosed transporter. The seller bought this ’74 Road Runner about five years ago, sight unseen, and had it shipped from Oregon to… more»

Luxury Car Gone WIld: Lincoln Mud Truck

Ever want a luxury car? Sure you have. Me too. Have you thought what you’d do with it? Drive it to dinner? Impress the valet at the symphony? That’s what the TV commercials and print ads would suggest you… more»

Golden Opportunity? Rare 1956 DeSoto Adventurer

In 1955, Chrysler launched the first luxury, high-performance muscle car salvo with the iconic C-300. Some called it the “Beautiful Brute” which is an accurate moniker. The totally redesigned ’55 Chrysler coupe was an awesome package of 50’s high… more»

Do Doors Matter? 1965 Chevrolet Impala

That’s the question, will two extra doors on a car known for its dashing two-door hardtop, coke bottle styling adversely affect its value? This ’65 Impala four-door sedan has a lot of positive features in its plus column so… more»

Faded Glory: 1947 Chrysler Town and Country Sedan

When I look at these photographs, it makes me a bit sad because I can imagine what this beauty looked like sparkling new. But the photos also intrigue me and creep me out a little bit as well. I’ve… more»

390 FE Equipped Fastback! 1966 Ford Galaxie

The mountains of California always make a beautiful backdrop for photos, and this setting was what first drew me into this 1966 Ford Galaxie.  The 1965 cars got an all-new design with a more bulky and taller stance than… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette

If you ever doubted the desirability of chrome-bumper C3 Corvettes, you need to look no further than the bidding history on this 1969 model. It looks tired and requires total restoration. However, its auction has attracted twenty-two bids with… more»

Authentic Western Workhorse: 1972 Dodge D100 Adventurer

It’s no secret that I have an affection for old pickup trucks. And the more original and authentic, the better. Ford and Chevy pickups get the majority of attention, but it’s also refreshing to shine the work light on… more»

34k Original Miles: 1959 Cadillac Sedan De Ville

There is probably no car that better exemplifies the automotive design excesses of the 1950s than the 1959 Cadillac. From its towering fins to its bullet taillights and glistening grille, it seemed to contain something for everyone. The one… more»

Drive it Away: 1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite

Rarely has a car prompted more smiles than the Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. From the grinning grille to the bugged headlights and the car’s diminutive size, the Bugeye oozes charm. The driving experience is surprisingly … spritely. These cars… more»

No Less Bad-A$$ Forty Years Later: 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom

This 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom is almost comically priced here on eBay: $3881. What are we doing, going up by $1 at a time? (Actually, by increments of fifty bucks). And that’s the result of 15 bids, more… more»

1955 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman Coupe

DeSoto is an orphan marque in my mind. While the model was produced under the Chrysler brand from 1929 through 1961, it’s rare to see a DeSoto at a car show these days. Perhaps that’s because Chrysler couldn’t make… more»

At Least It’s a Fastback: 1965 Mustang 6-cylinder

Because it’s a Fastback, this 1965 Ford Mustang might just be worth close to the asking price of $24,500 as represented here on craigslist. But maybe not, as it’s already been up for nine days, or ten by the… more»

OHC Survivor: 1968 Pontiac Firebird

The Firebird was Pontiac’s response to the First Generation Mustang, and, like its competitor, it offered an entry-level option for buyers unable to justify the expense of a V8. Many of those cars received later drivetrain upgrades, but this… more»
