AutoHunter Spotlight: 1968 Pontiac Firebird
for the first time i realized I saw the Pontiac Firebird while watching the TV show "Booker" in the 1980s. I don't know why it took me until 1989 to mentally register this model. Maybe it's because Pontiac (aside from the black Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit) isn't a brand that piques my interest. To me, Booker's Blue Firebird takes everything that was great about the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro and improves it on styling. Since then, the first-generation Firebird has been my favorite production pony car, second only to the 1965-1967 Shelby Mustangs, cars that really can't be considered "production" cars. This 1968 Pontiac Firebird appears on AutoHunter, an online auction platform powered by ClassicCars.com. The Firebird you see here is powered by a 350 V8 engine and a two-speed automatic transmission. The car comes from the seller complete with cover, battery can, original removed speedometer, spare parts and New York license plates. The exterior of this Firebird…

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…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1967 Chevrolet Nova Hardtop
Chevrolet Nova Located in an interesting spot in the world of collectible cars. Novas aren't as desirable as Chevelles, nor as valuable as Olds Cutlass or Buick Skylark, but their capabilities are very similar to those cars' capabilities. They're just as fun to drive and easy to maintain, but cost a lot less. They are what my Nova-loving friends call the "bread and butter" American collector cars. This 1967 Chevrolet Nova appears on AutoHunter, an online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com. The seller describes this 1967 Chevrolet Nova as a fully restored two-door hardtop powered by a 327ci V8 engine and four-speed manual transmission.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1985 Ford Mustang GT
sometimes when it comes When it comes to performance cars, less is more. Today, we've become obsessed with driver-assist features, CarPlay integration, and creature comforts that can take away from the raw feeling of driving. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I stick with classic cars rather than demanding the latest automotive technology. I love driving for the sake of driving, not just to get from point A to point B.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1987 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pickup
if you haven't It's worth noting that "square" car design is making a comeback. Just look at the new Hyundai Santa Fe. Starting in 2024, the formerly round crossover gets a striking new design that actually achieves a better drag coefficient than the outgoing model despite its boxier shape. How did they do it? No mention of boxy vehicles would be complete without talking about General Motors' boxy pickup trucks, produced from 1973 to 1987. Here's a great case study from us: AutoHunter Featured This customized 1987 Chevrolet 1/2-ton pickup truck is being sold by a dealership in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with the auction ending Thursday.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Sedan
Chevrolet Corvair is, In my opinion, this is an amazing car, especially for an American car made in the 1960s. Created under the management of Ed Cole and designed by Bill Mitchell, it was unlike any car produced by the Big Three American car companies. The Corvair features a rear-mounted aluminum inline 6-cylinder engine, four-wheel independent suspension, and a unitized body structure. GM took these ideas from European small cars and spent millions of dollars designing the car. The launch of the car brought great success to the brand and earned it accolades.

A few years later this book Not safe at any speed Great pains are taken to demonize the Corvair, but much of the book is absolute nonsense.

There's also a classic Mopar muscle car, a fun camper van and a lightly customized '50s Ford. Which one would you buy for your winter projects? 1968 Plymouth GTXDo you prefer the 1968 GTX or the 1969 GTX? I go back and forth on this issue. Of course, 1969 was a more refined year for marketing, equipment, and styling, but I really liked the stripes and nearly full-width taillights of 1968. 1968 was also the best-selling year for the GTX, with approximately 19,000 units sold.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
"A word or two "Get in the race," one magazine ad said of the 1969 Camaro. "You lost." Some 55 years later, the muscle cars of the late 1960s are still thrilling, neck-breaking, and rubber-burning. They have a timeless appeal. So when I saw this clean Z/28 popping up for sale, I knew I had to compete with our muscle car guru Diego Rosenberg for who could write about it.

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
there are many The current listings on AutoHunter are all great cars, but I happened to pick out 4 GM products from the 1960s. I never want to be accused of favoring one company over another, but I understand that people at Mopar can be sensitive sometimes. Three of the AutoHunter Picks lean toward the muscle car side; the fourth—an unexpected choice—is pure luxury, 1968 style. Each allows you to wear a different hat. Which hat would you like to wear today? 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28Generally speaking, I prefer midsize muscle cars to pony cars, so the Camaro was never on my radar as a kid. No amount of COPO or Z/28 can attract this budding enthusiast! My opinion has changed a bit as I've gotten older, especially the Z/28, which has a completely different driving experience than the big cars - it's almost like an American car for Alfa enthusiasts. Being Rallye Green is a plus for this 1969…

BMW is proud of Build some of the most attractive cars in the world. Fifty years ago in 1974, the company first began using the slogan "The Ultimate Driving Machine" in advertising and promotions.

Visits to international car shows are becoming increasingly rare. result? I've lost touch - don't ask me when the Mustang was redesigned because I'm not sure if it was 2013 or 2014 (answer: 2015 model year). Don't ask me about horsepower over the years.
