Splash of Style: 1950 Chrysler Royal Sedan

Somebody woke up Monday with no idea they’d be the proud owner of a Chrysler Royal by late in the week, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen when folks spy the 1950 Chrysler Royal here on craigslist. It’s… more»

Hey Ho Caballero! 1958 Buick Estate Wagon

I have often wondered what “Caballero” meant. Until now, I guess I was too lazy to look it up. Meriam-Webster defines it as “Knight, Cavalier; Chiefly Southwestern U.S, Horseman“. I can associate a ’58 Buick with a lot of… more»

1-of-1,208: 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T

The automotive landscape is fast evolving, and probably no car demonstrates this better than the 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T. In 1971, an owner needed to specify a V8 powerplant in any domestic model to achieve a sub-15-second ¼-mile ET,… more»

Sunk to Frame: 1967 International Scout 800

To some this might look like a lost cause or a worthless hunk of metal. To others, it is a rare find. This 1967 International Harvester Scout is located in Bowden, West Virginia. It is currently bid to $355… more»

Low Mile Survivor: 1978 Chevrolet Corvette With 28k Original Miles

Rarity is a relative term in the classic world, and you must sometimes dig below the surface to confirm whether such claims are valid. That is the case with this 1978 Corvette, which the seller claims is a rare… more»

Utility Coupe Project: 1958 Ford Ranchero

Ford expanded its lineup in 1957 to include a “gentlemen’s” pickup or utility coupe (Ute). It was a 2-door Custom station wagon that was built as a truck. The company had the market to itself until 1959 when Chevrolet… more»

Total Rebuild: 1966 Mustang 2+2 (Fastback)

Another day, another Mustang, or so it seems. Here’s one that probably wouldn’t have been dragged out of the barn, except that people are digging ever deeper into their garages to find stuff to sell. This might be the… more»

Ran When Parked: 1960 Jaguar Mk IX

Let’s see: what, oh what, to drive to that state dinner at the palace? The Bentley is nice but so ponderous, particularly when you know that Sir George will show up piloting his own sports car – perhaps with… more»

Hot Wheels Bread Van! 1969 Grumman Olsonette

Grumman has produced bodies for several delivery vehicles over the years, with the most noticeable perhaps being UPS delivery vans from 1966 forward. Others include the Olsonette which served well for auto parts and baked goods deliveries. That’s how… more»

Hot Rod Time! 1948 Ford Super Deluxe V8

Many years ago, I managed a punk rock band (and I have the lack of hearing to prove it!) and for a while, one member of the group was a pretty successful songwriter. Some 45s and EPs got released… more»

Ready To Cruise: 1993 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – or so it is said. Take this 1993 Chevrolet Caprice Classic station wagon for example. It was near the end of the run for big B-body station wagons but they… more»

Rust-Free Survivor: 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue

There’s a different vibe with this 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue since the seller took off the factory wire wheel covers (they don’t say whether they’re included or not) and put on these black steel rims, dog dish caps, and… more»

24k-Mile Luxurious E-Body! 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe

With a total redesign for 1970 models, the future seemed bright for the Plymouth Barracuda, and judging by some of the options a buyer could equip their new car with it’s hard to imagine just how soon afterwards doom… more»

Extra Lively: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL

In the 1960s, the Galaxie 500XL was Ford’s equivalent to the Chevy Impala Super Sport. And, in typical fashion, Ford sold fewer of them than Chevrolet (that’s until the Mustang came along and sent everyone scrambling). This ’64 500XL… more»

Bargain Supercar: 2002 Lotus Esprit V8

Lately, the Lotus Esprit has popped up in some round-ups of supercars that remain surprisingly affordable – specifically, the later production versions equipped with a sonorous V8 powerplant. While many of these “lists” are often poorly constructed and researched,… more»

9K Mile Coupe: 1999 Dodge Viper GTS

While we often talk about cars like the 993-chassis Porsche 911 seemingly never entering a stage of depreciation, the first-generation Dodge Viper definitely dropped like a stone for a spell. The GTS coupe, however, was slightly more immune to… more»
