I test drove a new 84 GTI at the local VW dealer, was really impressed with the way it handled and seriously considered signing the dotted line. Instead I bought a used 1980 BMW 320is. That was almost 40 years ago, but the 320 remains one of my favorite cars. ... View more

For many collector cars the market is red hot. Anyone looking to buy a 60s or 70s muscle car had better have at least 60K in their pocket. Those lucky enough to have very deep pockets seem willing to spend what ever it takes to acquire their "dream car", money be damned. The rest of us regular folks can only watch and shake our heads. ... View more

IIRC in October of 19 there was a 68 C3 listed on eBay being represented as Alan Sheppards. There was a thread on the Corvette forum about it. The seller put the opening bid at $150,000. No, it didn't sell. It was in pretty sad shape. About the same time a classic car dealer in Denver had a C3 for sale that they belonged to one of the astronauts. ... View more

It's go that "small" pickups are starting to be offered. 20 years ago a buyer had many choices. I have own several early S10s and late 90's Rangers. Great little trucks. I know I'm not the only one to miss them. ... View more

I certainly agree with 1953 Buick, I love seeing people too young for an AARP membership appreciating a car like a 62 GT Hawk. I 'm sure any of us old guys would be proud to show up at cars and coffee behind the wheel of Jake's green beauty. ... View more

Icon does a very impressive build. Obviously at 200K plus this isn't your father's Bronco. When you consider what early Broncos are bringing, even really rough examples, if you love the early Broncos and have a few hundred grr laying around, Icon is the way to go. ... View more

"A classic body deserves a classic engine." Tell that to the guys that insist on jamming an LS into everything with 4 wheels! ... View more

Just wash and wax that beauty and she'll be good as new. ... View more

Beetles and Karmann Ghias have been hot for years. Recently early Rabbit GTIs have going crazy on Bring A Trailer, bring big dollars for clean examples with well over 100,000 miles!  ... View more

Many restored Model A Ford drivers swear by Rotella T, sighting the increased zinc content to protect the cam. While I had my 29 Tudor, I felt that the low rpm flathead 4 didn't benefit from increased zinc,  and used a good multi-grade detergent dyno oil instead. ... View more

Personal opinion, the C3 continues to be the best looking Corvette ever produced.  I'm sure many will agree. ... View more

What a great story! Thanks for publishing it and to all the wonderful people that made it possible. Larry, as a cancer survivor a positive attitude is very important to winning this battle. That new C8 should help you stay positive.  ... View more
