Nicest One Left? 1980 Mercury Bobcat
How have we only seen four other 1980 Mercury Bobcats here on Barn Finds and we’ve probably seen several dozen Pintos? As if a Pinto doesn’t stand out enough in the crowd of Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes, and Chargers, I… more»
Reasonable Buy? 1965 Imperial Crown

Muscle Truck: 1964 Chevrolet El Camino
As one goes, so does the other, or at least that’s how Ford and Chevrolet used to duke it out with each other. And that’s the case with Ford’s Ranchero vs. Chevrolet’s El Camino, such as this 1964 example… more»
