Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1968 Pontiac Firebird coupe, which is powered by a 250ci OHC inline-six paired with a two-speed automatic transmission. Finished in British Racing Green over a black vinyl interior, this first-generation Firebird is now offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with a clear title.
Originally Nightshade Green, the body was repainted the current British Racing Green and accented with gray side and rear stripes. Exterior features include a black front air dam, bright trim, driver-side mirror, tinted windows, body-color rear spoiler, chrome rear bumper, and dual exhaust outlets.
Instead of using talons, this bird grips the road with the 205/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires wrapped around its 14-inch Rally II wheels.
The cockpit is furnished with black vinyl upholstery on the front buckets and rear bench seat; woodgrain trim accents the center stack/console. Comfort and convenience features include power steering, push-button AM radio, and console-mounted automatic shifter.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The odometer shows 6,161 miles, but this classic is mileage-exempt, according to its title.
Between the front wheel wells is a 250ci OHC inline-six fitted with a four-barrel carburetor and connected to a two-speed automatic. A set of manual drum brakes slow that go.

Quick! Without looking, which was the first muscle car model that featured air induction standard? Need a hint? It is a 1969 model. Need another hint? It’s not what you’d normally expect. Need a third hint? Boy, I should begin to worry about you because all you need to do is look at the title to know it’s the Buick Gran Sport. Our Pick of the Day is this 1969 Buick GS 350 listed for sale on Classic Cars.com by a dealership in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The Gran Sport was redesigned for 1968 after three model years. General Motors gave the A-body two wheelbases, with the two-door featuring a 112-inch span from front to rear wheels. All two-doors featured enhanced “Coke-bottle” styling with a more organic look, eschewing the three-box design that had characterized the previous generation.
The Gran Sport models continued to be available within three series. The most muscular was the GS 400, which was powered by an engine that was introduced the previous year. The 400ci V8 was rated at 340 horsepower, which wasn’t high on the totem pole of 6.6-liter cars, but its power delivery belied its rating, especially with peak torque (440 lb-ft) at a low 3200 rpm. New for 1968 was the GS 350, powered by a 350ci small-block rated at 280 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. This was an outgrowth of the 340 that was used in the 1967 GS 340, Buick’s “junior supercar.” There was also an interesting California GS available, formerly a regional special based on the Special Deluxe. This gave buyers a stylish and fast vehicle at a friendly price.
Both the 350 and 400 were carried over into 1969, though Buick restyled the Gran Sport’s hood to implement a standard air induction system. A pair of chrome grates allowed air to be sucked into “muffs on the front of the air cleaner to deliver cool clean air [to the four-barrel carburetor] and provide more efficient and powerful engine operation in higher speed ranges.” The 350 came standard with a column-mounted three-speed manual, with a floor-shift version of the same transmission the next step up. Upgrades from there included the TH350 automatic or four-speed manual. When the model year was over, 58 GS 350s featured the standard transmission, 175 had the upgrade on the floor, 632 featured the four-speed, and the rest were built with an automatic.
This 65,000-mile 1969 Buick GS 350 doesn’t get the glory that the GS 400 receives, but let’s evaluate this example and identify its strengths, as it’s a fine way to experience horsepower, comfort, and fun that few vehicles can deliver. Out of 6,305 built, 490 were painted in Cameo Cream. Another 667 were built with the Pearl White bucket seat interior. See that white vinyl top? 830 were built with that too. It’s not common to find air conditioning paired with a four-speed like this one has—only 132 were equipped like that. Other features include “radio-delete,” power steering, power drum brakes, and remote driver-side mirror. Currently, this car features Buick’s famous mag wheels. “New seats, new carpet, and new headliner,” says the seller.
This Buick comes with a folder of receipts, service records, and Protect-O-Plate, the latter of which shows this vehicle was sold new to a female resident of Bakersfield, California on May 9, 1969. Did Julia Selinger know she bought the first car to feature standard air induction? No way to find out but, for $33,979, you will.
For decades, Buick has been synonymous with comfort, refinement, and understated luxury, earning a reputation as a brand for those seeking a smooth, quiet ride. Yet, beneath this polished exterior, Buick has a lesser-known legacy of producing performance-oriented cars that could rival muscle car icons. These models often flew under the radar, blending in with mainstream traffic while packing serious speed and advanced engineering. Uncovering these hidden gems reveals a thrilling chapter in Buick’s history that surprises even seasoned enthusiasts. Learn more about Buick’s performance history here.
This 1937 Ford panel truck was acquired by the seller in 2010 and subsequently fitted with a GM 350ci V8 paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and an 8” rear end. Additional work involved the installation of a Mustang II-style front suspension, a four-link rear end with adjustable coilovers, a stainless-steel fuel tank, and MagnaFlow mufflers. The truck is finished in faded blue paint with orange accents, and the interior houses bucket seats trimmed in gray leather as well as a rear cargo area access by ambulance-style doors. This Ford panel truck is now offered with a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.
The body wears faded blue paint with hand-painted yellow lettering from the truck’s previous use by a painting and wallpaper company. Corrosion on the the right-rear bodywork was repaired under current ownership, and additional lettering with the name of the seller’s business was applied against an orange background. Exterior features include a left-side windshield wiper, a horn, running boards, and a spare wheel stowed within a black-finished cover ahead of the right-rear fender. The bodywork has visible corrosion, with additional photos provided in the gallery below.
The orange-painted 16″ steel wheels wear chrome Ford-logo hubcaps and are mounted with Mastercraft tires up front and Firestone rubber at the rear. The Mustang II-style front end has rack-and-pinion steering, tubular control arms, and disc brakes, while out back is a four-link setup with adjustable coilovers and finned drums.
The cab houses bucket seats trimmed in gray leather, and the driver seat is power-adjustable. The top of the dashboard was painted blue under current ownership, and the door panels and headliner are trimmed in gray vinyl. Gray carpeting lines the floors, an AM/FM radio is linked with speakers in the kick panels.
The banjo-style steering wheel fronts instrumentation consisting of a 100-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. A Moon 8k-rpm tachometer and Stewart-Warner gauges for voltage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure have been added. The five-digit odometer shows 58k miles.
Ambulance-style doors provide access into the cargo area.
The seller tells us they installed the GM 350ci crate V8 in 2012, replacing a 283 that had been installed by a previous owner. It features an Edelbrock intake manifold, an electric-choke Holley carburetor, a Mallory Promaster ignition coil, an Optima AGM battery, a stainless-steel fuel tank, ram’s horn manifolds, and stainless-steel MagnaFlow mufflers. The oil was most recently changed in Spring 2025.
A TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is linked to an 8” rear end.
The title lists the vehicle as a 1937 Ford Sedan, and the lien listed on the title was released in August 2019.
Once a pillar of American automotive innovation, Oldsmobile left an indelible mark on car culture before its sunset in 2004. While many 1980s and 1990s U.S. cars are stereotyped as bland or unreliable, several Oldsmobile models from this era have defied expectations, aging with surprising grace and character. Their timeless styling, robust engineering, and nostalgic appeal continue to win over collectors and enthusiasts, challenging the myth that American cars from this period lack enduring value or charm. Let’s explore the standouts that have truly stood the test of time.
General Motors has long been home to two automotive titans: Oldsmobile and Cadillac. Although Cadillac was GM’s undisputed luxury flagship, Oldsmobile frequently surprised enthusiasts and critics by surpassing its sibling in innovation, performance, and appeal. Their rivalry spanned decades, each brand aiming to define American luxury in its own way. From pioneering technology to bold styling, Oldsmobile quietly scored impressive wins over Cadillac. Discover the outshined moments in this classic GM rivalry. For more on their intertwined histories, visit Hemmings and MotorTrend.
Oldsmobile, founded in 1897, was a pioneer in the American automotive industry, introducing innovations like the first mass-produced car, the Curved Dash, in 1901. (en.wikipedia.org) Despite its rich legacy, the brand ceased operations in 2004. (automotivehistory.org) Many of its iconic models, such as the 1966 Toronado and the 1970 Cutlass Rallye 350, continue to captivate car enthusiasts, reflecting Oldsmobile’s enduring influence on automotive design and performance.

Pontiac was at the top of its game in 1962. Attractive styling contrasted sharply with cross-town rivals Plymouth and Dodge. Tri-Power performance had strong street cred. The Tempest featured engineering that bucked typical Detroit convention. The NASCAR Grand National point-leader was who? And, incredibly, Pontiac outsold Plymouth to achieve the number-three spot in sales.
The cars that gave Pontiac wins both in NASCAR and dragstrips were forced to be discontinued early in 1963 when General Motors reiterated its no-racing stance with the Automobile Manufacturers Association. That left cars like this 421 Super Duty-powered 1962 Pontiac Catalina a footnote in American automotive history.
Oh, but what a footprint it left! The 421 Super Duty featured a single four-barrel or dual-quads, four-bolt mains, heat-treated camshaft, factory long-branch manifolds, nifty exhaust dumps, and more. Only 179 were built, of which 155 were 421 Catalinas like Henry Hart’s (the balance was a handful of Grand Prixs and 389 SD Catalinas). But don’t think they all were identical batch-builds because Henry’s is equipped with the very stylish Ventura Custom Interior. Other distinctive features include aluminum hood and fenders, and Hurst shifter (a factory first!) paired to the Borg-Warner T10.
We told you back in August that a 392 Hemi-powered Jeep Gladiator will be coming. In the meantime, the midsize pickup has received several updates for the 2026 model year—two new colors and new hinges for easier door removal. Also new is a Willys ’41 “buzz model” that honors Jeep‘s military history, albeit from a different decade.

According to Stellantis, “Inspired by the original Jeep Kaiser M715 military truck, the Gladiator Willys ‘41 … channels the Jeep brand’s military heritage with bold, utilitarian design and off-road-ready features.” Think Vietnam, not World War II. The 1-1/4-ton M715 was produced by Kaiser Jeep from 1967-69 as a replacement for the Dodge M37 series 3/4-ton vehicles used by the military since 1951. Adapted from the Gladiator civilian trucks, the M715 featured similar body parts, albeit with some modifications, as well a purpose-built cargo box. Power from the Tornado I6 reached the battlefield through a T-98 four-speed manual transmission, NP200 dual-range transfer case, Dana 60 front axle, and Dana 70 full-floating rear end.

Like all 2026 Gladiators, the Willys ’41 is powered by a Pentastar 3.6-liter V6, which is exclusively connected to an eight-speed automatic. Special equipment is located all over and inside. Up front, there’s a Mopar triple-hoop grille guard (which brings the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 392 not-so-Final Edition to mind). Both ends of the truck feature an upgraded steel bumper. The Mohave hood’s scoop is purely cosmetic, but the heritage-inspired decals are real. In the cabin, the seats have Willys ‘41 tan inserts and the mid-bolster is wrapped in Mantis Green cloth. Perhaps the coolest add-on is the set of slotted 17-inch wheels finished in Olive Drab; the mud-terrain tires are a nice bonus.
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator Willys ’41 is now available to order. Prices start at $47,840, but that figure doesn’t include the $1,995 destination charge.
The classic cut-door British roadster introduced the U.S. to the fun of sports cars. The wind in your hair, reasonable speed, good looks, telepathic steering, and great handling for the era, all wrapped in a two-door open-car package created a new category of automobile. Cars like the MG T Series, Triumph TR2/3, and Austin-Healey 100/3000 defined what a sports car was for over a decade. If you have always wanted to own the very definition of a classic British roadster, then look no further than what, to me, is the pinnacle of classic sports car design: the Morgan 4/4 and Plus 4. The AutoHunter Spotlight for the day is this stunning 1957 Morgan 4/4 Roadster. It is being sold by a dealer in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with the auction ending on Tuesday, December 1, 2025, at 3:15 p.m. (MST).
Introduced in 1936 and somehow continuing in production until 2018, the 4/4 is the quintessential British sports car and, for their fans, the Morgan has no equal. Morgan 4s have won races (including Le Mans), have delivered RAF airman to their Spitfires during the Battle of Britain, have been owned by both the famous and the not-so-famous, and have always delivered a traditional British driving experience. By modern standards a Morgan, especially a 4/4, is not that fast, but it sure feels fast due to the seating position that puts you only inches above the pavement and doors cut so low you can touch the road from the driver’s seat.
The other thing I love about the Morgan is the brand’s rich history. These cars have always been entirely built by hand in the same factory, and today the company remains the last of the independent automakers. Driving a Morgan is like nothing else in the world, and owning a Morgan is an immersive way of experiencing the sports car world of the 1930s-50s.
This Morgan 4/4 is powered by a correct Ford 1172cc inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Something interesting not everyone knows is that Morgan never made their own engine. To this day, the company relies on engines from other manufacturers; the Ford side-valve inline-four was used in the 4/4 for decades.
This Morgan 4/4 Roadster is painted in the iconic combination of British Racing Green with a black soft-top over a tan leather interior. It is offered by the selling dealer with restoration and service receipts, along with a clear title.
The seller states that this Morgan underwent a full nut-and-bolt body-off restoration by The Vintage Connection in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They add that the cost for the restoration was $150,000, which is backed up by the complete restoration receipts. That may seem like a lot of money, but a proper restoration is expensive, and this is the going rate for a true restoration on just about any car. Judging from the photos, this truly looks to be a top-tier restoration.
Also keep in mind that the Morgan is a complicated car to restore. The frame for the body panels is made of ash wood, which over time can rot if not properly preserved. In the era in which this car was built, the wood was not as well treated, so may be suspect and in need of replacement on any Morgan from the 1930-70s. Happily, Morgan Motors offers complete kits for the wood, and it is now treated to make it last for much longer than it did in the past. That being said, someone still needs to put the pieces together, as you can see in the vintage factory photos below.
The interior of this Morgan 4/4 looks to be as good as the exterior. The seats are trimmed in the proper tan leather, the steering wheel is a correct four-spoke Brooklands item, and even the correct Morgan gauges and the wood dash look to be in like-new condition. If you want a good classic Morgan, this definitely looks like one.
Under the bonnet is the correct Ford-sourced side-valve 1172cc inline-four engine. It is fed by a correct single-barrel Solex carburetor with a correct chrome air cleaner. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a correct three-speed manual transmission. Both the engine compartment and underside of look to be as nice as the rest of the car. This Morgan is not only good enough for weekend drives or weeklong driving adventures on rallies, it is also in true show-worthy condition.
No, a classic Morgan 4/4 is in no way a sensible or even a logical car. It offers only rudimentary relief from inclement weather, has a very stiff sliding pillar front suspension, and rides a bit hard on the road. What it does offer is a driving experience that is the very essence of a British roadster. Sure, there are MGs and Triumphs you could buy – but a Morgan is something special and completely in another league. Morgan owners are also among the nicest and most welcoming classic car communities out there and their events are some of the most fun you will ever attend. A Morgan is effectively a four-wheeled time machine back to the classic era of sports cars and is without equal if you have always wanted to experience a true British roadster. Do be aware, though, that you will get lots of questions from people whenever you stop for fuel, as Morgans attract a lot of attention.
If you are interested in this car, I would recommend logging on to AutoHunter and bidding soon. Examples of a Morgan 4/4 this nice are becoming harder and harder to find. If you can buy one that has been restored to this level, you are always better off than you would be buying a decent driver and trying to make it this nice (remember that $150,000 restoration cost).
If you are interested in this truly exceptional 1957 Morgan 4/4, place your bid now, as the auction for this car ends on December 1, 2025, at 3:15 p.m. (MST).
