1950-1975
If you are in the market for a piece of vintage Mopar to cruise around the local weekend car shows, then this next car is a good choice. At first you might assume that the Fury II was the sucessor to the Fury I, but actually you could get a Fury I, Fury II, or […]
Instead of celebrating Cyber Stalking Saturday or whatever nonsense holiday big or small business has dreamt up to make us spend money on the Saturday after Thanksgiving…we will continue to celebrate Bracq Friday. If you stopped me and asked “how old is this next car?” — I would not be quick to say 43 years. […]
Our celebration of Bracq Friday continues with this next beauty. Paul Bracq was a legendary BMW 7-series, 6-series, E21 3-series, MB W113 SL, W108, W100 (aka 600 or Großer Mercedes) W111, W114, multiple Popemobiles and the French TGV high speed train. Find this 1975 Mercedes-Benz 280C W114 offered for $11,500 in Long Island, NY via […]
Happy Bracq Friday to everyone out there in cyberspace. If your idea of the day after Thanksgiving doesn’t involve wrestling a marked down girdle out of the hands of another shopper at Macy’s, then you should spend it marveling at the iconic car designs of master coachbuilder Paul Bracq. Find this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4.5 […]
The 2nd generation Chevrolet Corvair (1965-1969) was a much improved version of the previous car — gone was the sketchy swing axle suspension, which was replaced with a fully independent rear that helped keep the rear-engine car from wandering backwards across oncoming traffic lanes when you didn’t want that. Today’s example appears to have only […]
The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser was the corporate twin to Buick’s fabulous SportWagon and part of GM’s A-body platform that includes the Buick Special, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Prix, Pontiac Tempest, and Chevrolet Chevelle. Today’s example looks in good shape and has a trick hidden EFI system installed in the Olds Jetfire Rocket V8. Find this […]
When I see the words Fiat 124 Sport I immediately think of the Pininfarina styled Sport Spider version, but built on the same platform was a sedan, wagon, and coupe. Today we’ve got an example from the third series (1972-1975) of the Fiat Sport Coupe that has been in storage since 1985, but the seller […]
The Porsche 914 is one of those classics that needs no introductions, but today’s example is a bit of an eyesore. Long gone is the original Beetlesque flat-4 and in its place is a small block Chevy pushing lots of torques and ponies from 383 cubic inches (that’s American for many liters, almost 4 more […]
The AMC Hornet was a compact family car built as a replacement for the Rambler American brand/model starting in 1970. Hornet production continued through 1977 when it was superseded by the AMC Concord and the groundbreaking AMC Eagle crossover utility vehicle. Todays example is a simple Hornet coupe, but it is covered in a cool […]
The C3 generation Corvette isn’t the most collectable of Vettes, but that shouldn’t stop you from wanting to get your 70s vibe on. Today’s example has a few dents and dings on its fiberglass body, but it also has a sweet custom wagon back rear end that looks awesome. It will need some expertise in […]
