Beautiful Barge: 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

The “deVille” name cycled onto Cadillac’s flanks over more than eight decades, first as a Coupe deVille in the late 1940s, then as a standalone model in 1959. A montage of deVilles through the ages would perfectly capture our… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

No Reserve. They are two words that are guaranteed to draw the attention of enthusiasts seeking a classic to park in their garage. They signify that once the auction process ends, the highest bidder is guaranteed to become that… more»

Race Developed: 1975 Yamaha RD350 Cafe Racer

Yamaha’s naming system can be a head-scratcher at times. I’m a big Yamaha fan, have owned a couple of them since the 1970s, and have books about Yamahas, but I don’t even know what some of the initials refer… more»

400 V8 Transplant: 1968 Dodge D200 Sweptline

11K-Mile Time Capsule! 1986 Isuzu P’up

The seller of this 1986 Isuzu P’up pickup (is that redundant?) lists the mileage as being 11,867, and that’s amazing for a vehicle that’s almost 40 years old now. Please check out the very limited photos the seller has… more»

22K Miles: 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Factory Supercharged: 1957 Packard Clipper Wagon
