Mayfair Maize: 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible
Power, style, and top-down motoring make an attractive combination, and this GTO has it all. Faded non-original red paint and cosmetic imperfections won’t sideline bidders on this claimed lifetime Georgia classic. Hidden headlights and the Endura front helped the… more»

Hatchback Survivor: 1980 Dodge Colt Twin-Stick
A Dodge Colt brochure calls this car “the eight-speed wonder of the world”, a clever take on “the eighth wonder of the world.” They’re referring to the famous Twin-Stick manual transmission, a unique two-range (power and economy) four-speed, effectively… more»

Mid-Engine with Japanese Style: 1989 Toyota MR2
