This Australian Falcon XB looks like a cross between a Dodge Challenger and a Ford Ranchero from the early 1970s. Functionally, it’s a lot like an El Camino or Ranchero. But in Australia, performance-oriented Utes like this are coveted, and they’re ultra rare in this country. So if you’re looking to turn some heads while [...]

Luxo-barge or muscle car? Chevrolet’s first-generation Monte Carlo has a great silhouette with its long nose and short decklid. Its aim was always luxury first, but when fitted with a 402- or 454-ci big block, the Monte became a heavily-optioned muscle car. Just the thing for getting to the marina on time. This black 1970 [...]

For the majority of us who haven’t experienced post-1970s Bugs, the combination of vintage Beetle styling on the outside [...]

NAPCO four-wheel-drive truck conversions from the 1950s aren’t particularly common these days, but even less common is a NAPCO 1957 Ford F-350. If you’re looking for an interesting restoration project, this could be your truck. It’s an ex-fire company truck from Mount Lodge Fire Co in New York, according to the seller. Why is it [...]
This first-year Charger looks like an impressively original car with some extremely desirable performance options. It recently had a professional rebuild of the engine, trans, brakes, front end and steering, and it looked like a great deal when we spotted it under $9k without reserve. It’s a straight, dry California car, still wearing black plates, three [...]
