Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
if i watch onlineI noticed a lot of people praising the virtues of 1960s styling and design. While the decade was strong, I don't think it compares to the 1930s, which gave us several custom designs that led the way in automotive values (with the exception of a few race cars). Still, in my corrupt mind, the 1960s were strong not just in styling, but in the overall package. Typically this means performance, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. Do you think the AutoHunter picks below represent the highlights of the 1960s well? 1969 Pontiac GTO convertibleDo you prefer the 1968 one or the 1969 one? Curious to know! I'm indifferent to the taillights, although I think the 1968 grille might have had a slight edge (especially the exposed headlights). The '69's parking lights are better, but I prefer the '68's dash. Plus, the Hurst Dual/Gate was much cooler than what Pontiac was developing for '69. Regardless, this 1969…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1962 Chevrolet Impala
If a photo is worth it A thousand words, is a video worth ten times that number? The quality of media a seller provides when listing a vehicle for sale can vary widely, which is important when buyers and sellers are often multiple states apart conducting unseen business. I highly recommend you put on a good pair of headphones and watch this driving demonstration video of this muscle machine: The 55,000-mile 1962 Chevrolet Impala hardtop featured on AutoHunter is being sold by a dealer in Ross, Ohio, and the auction ends Monday. The car sounds incredible when accelerating; the selling dealer demonstrated how the exhaust system can change intensity with the flip of a switch. This functionality is provided by a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system with QTP electric switches. I call this aggressive setup "Beast Mode." The full-size Impala flagship model's origins date back to 1958. Its name originated from the African antelope and was first mentioned at the…

Pick of the Day: 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass Gasser
Chrysler might be The company has a reputation for engineering, but it's hard to argue that GM held that title in 1960s Detroit. Case in point: the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair. The car spawned three "premium compacts," each with a novel engineering approach. One of these three cars is our Daily Pick: a 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass gasoline engine. It is for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Lake Forest, California. (Click the link to see the list) Let's review them one by one, starting with Pontiac: The Tempest is the least expensive of the three premium compacts, but Pontiac didn't skimp on engineering. Unique to the Tempest is its cable-driven transaxle and independent rear suspension. While the Trophy 4 engine is no engineering marvel, it is still unique in that it is half the 389 V8. For more power, Buick's 215 V8 was optional until Pontiac introduced the 326 in 1963. Incredibly, Pontiac retained the transaxle for its…
Daily Pick: 1962 Dodge Lancer 770
Detroit's response In 1960, the Ford Big Three introduced three imports, and several sister models were introduced that same year: the Mercury Comet joined the Ford Falcon mid-year, and the Valiant-styled Dodge Lancer arrived in 1961. Our pick today is a 1962 Dodge Lancer 770, with the exact same body as the Valiant, but with different styling and a fancier interior. A seller in Jarrell, Texas, has listed this car for sale on ClassicCars.com. (Click the link to view the listing.) 1961 Dodge Lancer In 1960, the all-new A-body Valiant was introduced as a separate brand, but it was officially merged into Plymouth in 1961. Dodge succeeded that year with its own version, which it named the Lancer. Previously a name used to distinguish Dodge's hardtops from sedans, the new Lancer was distinguished from the Valiant by a horizontal grille and quad headlights at either end; round taillights at the rear hinted at the direction of full-size Dodge cars for…

This sleeker look has long been favored by enthusiasts, and its popularity has not waned. Of course, its popularity is also driven by enthusiasts who love the immortal 409.
