In my life, I have seen many significant cars be cheap one day, and expensive the next. This is what drove me to buy a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 a few years back. After watching these cars languish… more»
Magnificent Roller! 1955 DeSoto Fireflite
If you’re a fan of 1950s Chrysler products, you probably fall into one of two camps. You either go for the 1955-56 models, where the cars finally moved away from being rolling boxes. Or the 1957-59 marvels, where futuristic… more»
383/4-Speed Beauty: 1971 Plymouth Road Runner

Very Nice 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente V8 Convertible
This one is total déjà vu for me, since I owned a (darker) blue 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente, just like this V8-powered example on Craigslist in Seattle. The difference is that mine wasn’t pristine and had six-cylinder power. Thanks… more»
429 Power: 1971 Ford Torino 500

440 V8 Project: 1968 Plymouth GTX
The GTX was one of two mid-size muscle cars offered in 1968. One was the Road Runner, which was a bit gimmicky and targeted muscle car buyers on a budget. The other was the GTX, which had a higher… more»
440 in a 440! 1967 Dodge Coronet
When Chrysler correctly repositioned its B-body products as mid-size cars in 1965, the Coronet assumed that role at Dodge. And would hold that spot until 1975. The performance version of the Coronet, the R/T, didn’t arrive until 1967 and… more»
42K Original Miles: 1981 Porsche 924
It’s rare that we see a Porsche 924 appear for sale in preserved condition. Often times, they have been on the downward slope of low-effort maintenance by owners who simply wanted a Porsche for too many years. With values… more»
Flamed 429 Restomod: 1971 Mercury Cyclone GT
Given how strong and capable a muscle car it was, the Mercury Cyclone’s unpopularity is really surprising, with sales nowhere near those of many other high-performance offerings from the good old days. In a way, that’s sort of good… more»
