Some things never go out of style, such as suits, blue jeans, bomber jackets, Rolex Submariners, and Chuck Taylors. You can add classic short-bed Chevy trucks to that list. If that’s your style, check out our Pick of the Day. This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe Fleetside is listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

With its single cab and short bed, this second-generation C10 has great proportions. Those look even better dressed in the recently applied dark green and white two-tone paint job. Instead of going for flashy, larger wheels, whoever refreshed this truck wisely opted to keep it on GM truck Rally wheels. The bed received its own updates in the form of fresh wood slats and stainless dividers.

Subtle flourishes that make the interior even more attractive. The factory two-spoke steering wheel seems to have been replaced with one from a classic Camaro, which is connected to power steering. Thanks to the Custom Deluxe trim level, the door panels feature decorative embossing. And check out the new green vinyl on the bench seat.

Given how great this truck looks, it almost doesn’t matter what’s under the hood, but it just so happens to have a 350 V8 connected to a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust system.

This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe Fleetside will still be in style a decade from now, but if you want it to be in your garage, you need to pay $36,500.

I purchased this extremely rare Noble M 400 approximately six years ago. In my opinion, Lee Noble is an automotive genius on the same level as Carroll Shelby. Noble produced a number of different models, and all are tremendously rare. The M12 GTO3R and the track-ready M 400 were the most popular versions. It is estimated that less than 150 of the M 400 exist.

My car has a great number of desired modifications. The current tune is 460hp on the four-cam Ford V6 3.0-liter engine. Weighing in at 2,360 pounds, the car also has a Getrag six-speed manual transmission, Quaife torque biasing differential, twin turbos, and a Tial blow-off valve.

Performance specs are 0-60 in 3.1seconds, the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds, and 1.06g on the skidpad. These cars will run with Porsche GT3s on a road course. This M 400 is the most bang for the buck that you could imagine. It’s not a complicated vehicle and is very easy to maintain. This example has received trophies in a number of car shows, including “Best Supercar/Exotic” against Ferraris, Porsche, Lamborgini, and other exotic makes.

I feel very honored to own this automotive marvel.

Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1968 Pontiac LeMans Convertible-based GTO tribute, which is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. It comes with features such as a power top, power brakes, and factory air conditioning. Finished in light yellow and equipped with a black soft top over a black vinyl interior, this American open-air cruiser comes from the dealer in Illinois with a clear title.

The light yellow exterior features a body-color nose, dual hood scoops, GTO badging, driver-side mirror, newer power-operated black convertible top, chrome rear bumper, and dual exhaust outlets.

This LeMans races down the road on a set of 14-inch Rally II wheels wrapped in 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires.

Under the soft top is a black vinyl interior with bucket front seats and a console-mounted Hurst Dual-Gate automatic shifter. Other features include woodgrain trim, factory air conditioning, and a JVC AM/FM/CD stereo with aftermarket speakers.

Woodgrain trim surrounds the instruments, which include a 120-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The odometer shows 41,144 miles, but this vehicle’s title indicates that it’s mileage-exempt.

Under the hood is a 350ci V8 connected to a four-barrel carburetor. The engine sends its power to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic. Power front disc and rear drum brakes help bring this LeMans down to street-legal speeds.

If the finish line for this 1968 Pontiac LeMans Convertible-based GTO tribute is your driveway, bid on it now. The auction ends on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 11:15 a.m. (MST).

The name “Camaro” was derived from a French slang term for friend or “comrade.” And since its introduction in 1967, the Camaro has indeed become an automotive friend for millions of people. Our Pick of the Day is a 1971 Chevrolet Camaro restomod that has undoubtedly made a few people smile over the years. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Russellville, Missouri.

“This car has all the modern features you want, and a modern power source,” the listing says. During restoration, the exterior was coated in green metallic with black accent striping, and the look suits the car nicely. Features include a chin spoiler, chrome bumpers, a cowl induction hood, color-keyed side mirrors, rocker moldings, a spoiler, a dual exhaust system, and sequential turn signals. Capping off the car’s enhanced curb appeal is a set of Boze wheels wrapped in Toyo tires.

Now pop the hood. The engine bay on this car is a total work of art, and it’s even color-matched to bring in some of that green metallic from the exterior. Powering the car is a potent LS2 6.0-liter V8 with a Holley fuel-injection system. Ceramic coated headers and a Pypes M80 stainless-steel exhaust system have been added for even more performance, and a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

The second-generation Camaro, built from model year 1970 through 1981, was known for its long-hood, short-deck side profile. Chevrolet positioned the car as a close sibling to the Corvette, saying, “You could buy a Corvette, but as good as it is, space is limited to two people. So, we also have Camaro. It performs and handles like a sports car. Our engineers have seen to that.” Some Chevrolet fanatics probably bought a Camaro and a Corvette.

The cockpit of this unique Camaro was fully refreshed and includes black TMI bucket seats, a custom center console, and new door panels, headliner, carpeting, and seatbelts. Features include an Alpine touchscreen audio system, Vintage Air climate control, power steering with a tilt steering column, Z28-branded floor mats, and Dakota Digital instrumentation. A “Terminator X” display for the Holley EFI system has been mounted to the dash. Inside and out, there are thoughtful details of a high-quality restoration.

On that note, this Camaro is an automotive comrade you’ll be glad to hang out with! Not to mention the many devout Camaro enthusiasts you’re bound to encounter.

The asking price is $68,000 or best offer.

Throughout automotive history, certain cars have transcended their original purpose to unexpectedly embody the essence of an entire brand. Whether due to groundbreaking design, cultural impact, or sheer popularity, these vehicles have come to define how the world perceives their makers. This phenomenon often occurs without deliberate intention, as models like the Volkswagen Beetle or Ford Mustang evolve from simple transportation to brand-defining icons. Their influence shapes marketing, design language, and public imagination for generations.

“From cruise nights to the racetrack and starring moments on the big screen, Chevrolet’s iconic cars are an important part of American culture,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “They’ve been the inspiration for drivers of every generation, and we’ll have some of the best examples that span decades. A custom 1955 Bel Air (preview) on the docket is a beautiful example of the classic Tri-Five Chevy, while the custom 1963 Corvette Split-Window (preview) built by John Shope Designs you have to see in person to truly appreciate.”

The MGB GT coupe was decades ahead of its time. Its large, hinged tailgate brought hatchback practicality to the MGB roadster. Factor in a roomy cabin thanks to a high roofline and a fold-flat rear seat, and the MGB GT was a versatile car that appealed to many. Featured on AutoHunter is one such 1969 MG MGB GT Coupe being sold by a dealer in Gladstone, Oregon. The auction will end on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (MST).

The MGB two-door sports car, first launching in 1962, had a simple British sports car look, and it became a sales success over the next decade. For example, in 1969 alone, there were over 14,480 roadsters and 6,020 GTs sold in the United States. What made it so popular for its time?

The key factor in the MGB’s appeal was its positioning as both a fun yet practical car. One of the magazine advertisements for the car called it “The Thinking Man’s GT.” It went on to say, “The more you know about the sensible, logical, practical MGB GT, the more you appreciate it.” MG touted the car’s attractive styling, powerful yet thrifty engine, rack-and-pinion steering, heavy-duty suspension, and front disc brakes.

This Pale Primrose MGB has clearly been well-loved – it has clean body lines and sharp-looking paint. Exterior features include chrome brightwork, body side moldings, a single-outlet exhaust, and wire wheels. Take note of the unique fender-mounted rearview mirror on the passenger side, too. Moving to the cabin, we find fresh black upholstery, a center console, and audio entertainment coming from a Panasonic AM/FM/CD system.

Power originates with a 1.8-liter B-Series inline-four that uses dual SU carburetors and was rated at 97 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. The odometer shows 25,511 miles, although the title reads mileage-exempt.

Looking closely at the car’s identification tag, it reads “The MG Car Company Ltd. Abingdon-on-Thames, England.” Sometimes referred to as just “Abingdon,” the historic town is located on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. MG automobile manufacturing took place there from 1929 through 1980. The original site has long-since been demolished – now replaced with housing and business parks – but MG fans frequently visit the area to see the “Boundary House,” a pub that was once home to MG’s founder Cecil Kimber.

If you’re an MG fan – or just looking for a dynamic sports coupe from the 1960s with great versatility – this MGB is going to be hard to beat.

The auction for this 1969 MG MGB GT Coupe ends Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (MST).

If you have read my reviews – or anyone’s reviews – of modern Rolls-Royce cars, you’ll know that they are considered the finest-built cars in the world. Bring on your Bentleys or Maybachs if you like, but the craftsmanship of Rolls-Royce so far surpasses that of its rivals that it is in another category. Over the years, I have had the privilege of driving every model of these cars and the one that I still want desperately is the Wraith Black Badge. Our Pick of the Day is one of them: a 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge offered by a dealer in Pompano Beach, Florida.

There are many reasons for this. First, I love coupes, especially Grand Touring cars. Second, I truly appreciate fine craftsmanship. The third reason is that I also love performance cars. Somehow, through some trick of physics or Hogwarts magic, the people at Goodwood delivered all this and more in the Wraith.

Like every other R-R model, the Wraith features the finest materials, which are carefully assembled to make it a no-compromises automobile. The Black Badge adds sporting elements such as black chrome trim and a good amount of carbon fiber in the interior to make the Wraith feel sportier and sinister.

Performance is not neglected at all. Somehow, this 5,500-pound car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about four seconds and also handle extremely well without giving the passengers or driver an uncomfortable ride. Like I said, some kind of Hogwarts magic must be the reason because the driving experience flies in the face of physics. To me, the Wraith Black Badge is the ultimate car.

The dealer’s description of this car lacks a lot of details, but what we do know is that the color combination of blue over a white leather interior with light blue accents looks fantastic. Total mileage on the car is said to be 12,094 – in other words, just broken in. This Wraith looks as clean and nice as the one I drove four years ago.

The Wraith Black Badge carried a pretty steep price when new; I would estimate that this example cost well north of $300,000 in 2020. That makes sense to me. When an enthusiast experiences just how good the Wraith Black Badge is, he or she usually understands that crafting a car like this is an expensive proposition. That being said, since this example is pre-owned, the asking price is $289,998. If I win the Powerball or get some incredible inheritance in the next week or so, I am going to buy this car. Of all the modern Rolls-Royce cars, the Wraith Black Badge is the most likely to not only hold its value but appreciate in value.

If you have had a windfall or simply feel like getting me a really nice post-Christmas gift, this 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge would be perfect.

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is one of the most respected automotive events in the world, where historically significant cars are judged on their style, technical merit, history, originality, and the accuracy of their preservation or restoration. In this video, we recap our 2025 experience, which consisted of a few foggy mornings before the sun finally came out on show day and set the perfect stage. From there, it was a nonstop walk through paradise: Virgil Exner’s Idea Cars, prewar and postwar coachbuilt classics, American muscle, elegant cabriolets, exotic European cars, and true one-off vehicles you almost never see outside a museum.

We also stopped by the Concept Lawn to get a look at where automotive tech and design are headed in the future. We even had the chance to interview Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson about his 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is the one place where the past, present, and future of the car world meet. We were able to see it all firsthand and now we’re sharing the experience with you.
