Considering the fact that cars from around the Y2K era are now considered “classics” (at least according to the Antique Automobile Club of America), it makes vehicles from 90-plus years ago seem like ancient history. The fact that cars of that era are still on the road is a testament to their build quality, care, and maintenance history. Take, for example, the Pick of the Day, a 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Coupe listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Yucaipa, California.
As much as we like to look ahead at the automotive future – anticipating the impact of new technologies, trying to predict which cars will become collectible (and when) – sometimes it’s nice to reset and gain an appreciation for the foundational vehicles that paved the way for modern motoring. The Ford Model T and Model A were among those pioneering cars.
“This Model A Deluxe Coupe is in excellent condition,” the listing says. The exterior features chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, a rumble seat, a luggage rack, and wire wheels wrapped in wide whitewall tires. The seller says that recent upgrades include fresh paint, new running boards, a replacement vinyl top. Cosmetically, it’s well-sorted, and for being 96 years old, the car is show-ready. On the interior, the car received new carpeting, a new fuel gauge, and new weatherstripping for the windows.
The Model A helped bridge the gap between the utilitarian (even spartan) Model T and more modern vehicles. It was available in various body styles including coupes, roadsters, sedans, and pickup trucks. From the beginning, it was positioned as a value-oriented offering. Ford said, “The new Ford has been designed and built to give you many thousands of miles of faithful, economical service. Beneath its flashing beauty of line and color – in those vital mechanical parts which you may never see – is a high quality of material and accuracy in manufacturing.”
One of the most refreshing things about the Model A was its simple mechanics. Power for this car comes from a 201ci L-head inline-four that was rated at 40 horsepower, and equipment includes a three-speed manual transmission, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, and an electric starter.
As for daily-drivability, a Model A could be a solid car for around-town weekend use, but its comfortable cruising speed is around 50 miles per hour, and it maxes out at around 65, so don’t plan any cross-country road trips in one. However, for iconic style, affordability as an entry-level classic, mechanical simplicity, and an engaging driving experience, a vintage Model A is tough to beat.
This ’32 Ford pickup was built in the early 2010s using a Brookville Roadster frame rails and steel body. Custom metal work and paintwork were performed, and the Lexus Satin Cashmere finish is complemented by a wooden bed and Sid Chavers leather upholstery. It rides on a modified suspension with a Mustang II-style front end, a triangulated four-link rear end, and adjustable coilovers all around, and four-wheel discs are mounted behind the body-color Budnik wheels. Power comes from a 350ci V8 linked to a 700R4 automatic and a Ford 9″ rear end. The hot rod was completed in early 2015 and subsequently displayed at the Grand National Roadster Show, where it garnered AMBR Outstanding Display and the Detail awards. This custom ’32 is now offered by the seller on behalf of its owner with a clean California title.
The seller tells us build utilizes a steel roadster body and ’32 frame rails sourced from Brookville. Metal fabrication was performed by Henry Wehr, while Butch Brinza performed the lead work, body preperation, and Lexus Satin Cashmere paintwork. The chassis and running gear were painted by Jesus Monroy, and Dennis White made the wooden bed.
Custom details include a flush lower apron, blind fender braces, hidden headlight wiring, a reshaped hood and fenders, hidden tailgate latches, reworked bumpers and mountings, counter-sunk hardware, 16-gauge beaded steel floors, and more bespoke fabrication.
Following completion of the build, the hot rod was displayed at the Grand National Roadster Show, where it was recognized with AMBR Outstanding Display and the Detail awards as noted in Hot Rod magazine.
The suspension uses a Mustang II-style front end with rack-and-pinion steering, tubular control arms, polished coilovers, and a sway bar, and out back is a triangulated four-link setup with polished coilovers. The stainless-steel hardware was hand-polished by the owner, and the steering arms were reshaped. Custom-painted Budnik wheels wear staggered BFGoodrich tires, and discs are used at all four corners.
The interior features gray leather upholstery from Sid Chavers.
The dashboard was also reshaped, and a ’32 hubcap was reworked to function as a horn button on the ’40 steering wheel. Classic Instruments gauges and a Lokar shifter were also fitted, and the owner has driven all of the ~160 miles displayed.
The Chevrolet 350ci V8 is topped by an Edelbrock carburetor with a custom body-color scoop, and the stainless-steel headers flow into a matching exhaust system by Henry Wehr.
The seller tells us the automatic transmission is a Gearstar 700R4 Level 2. It is linked to a Ford 9″ rear end, and a transmission cooler was also fitted.
The vehicle is titled as a 1932 Ford using VIN 18181557, which is stamped on the frame rail and partially obscured by hardware. The title has a Commercial notation.
This custom COE pickup was the subject of a multi-year build using a Diamond T cab and a fabricated chassis, and power comes from a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 crate engine with a Borla eight-stack fuel injection system and a Holley Terminator X Max ECU. The engine is linked to a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and a Moser Engineering 9” rear end with a limited-slip differential, and the truck rides on a Porterbuilt independent front assembly, a triangulated four-link rear setup, and an Air Lift Performance 3P air suspension. Inside, bison hide upholstery is complemented by a Restomod Air climate control system, power windows, a Kenwood head unit, a billet steering wheel, an Ididit tilt column, and Dakota Digital gauges. Other highlights include Raceline 20” wheels, hydroboost disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, a CVF Wraptor serpentine accessory drive, a Boyd Welding fuel tank, and Borla mufflers. Purchased by the seller in 2019 and recently completed, this custom Diamond T is now offered with build records and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name listing it as a 1950 model.
The doors were shaved, and a custom bed, rear fenders, and extended running boards were added before the truck was finished in BMW Dravit Gray (C36), according to the seller. Details include a split windshield, a diamond-plate front filler panel, B-pillar grab handles, round side mirrors, LED headlights, an enlarged tailgate emblem, and oval taillights set into the rear bumper.
Mounted behind the cab are an aluminum-block 6.2-liter GM V8 crate engine with 823 heads and a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission sourced from Hot Rod Company of Greenacres, Washington. The engine is topped by a Borla eight-stack fuel injection system, a Holley Terminator X Max ECU, and a CVF Wraptor serpentine accessory drive. Four-into-one headers flow into a stainless-steel dual exhaust system with Borla mufflers. The fuel system is equipped with an Aeromotive 340 Stealth pump, and the front-mounted aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric puller fan.
The truck rides on a custom-fabricated frame with a Porterbuilt independent front assembly, a triangulated four-link rear setup, an Air Lift Performance 3P adjustable air suspension, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. A hydroboost braking system is linked to discs at all four corners.
Raceline Bandit 20×9” front and 20×14” rear wheels are finished in Stone Black with polished accents and wear faux three-eared spinners; Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measure 235/30 and 345/30, respectively.
The bed has bead-rolled floor panels coated in black bedliner, and a hinged panel provides access to the Boyd Welding fuel tank and air suspension components.
The cab is trimmed in distressed bison hide, and diamond-pattern stitching accents the headliner, seat inserts, and door panels. A Restomod Air Vapir 3–S climate control system has been added along with power windows and locks, and billet aluminum bezels surround the vents. An overhead console houses a Kenwood head unit connected to JL Audio and Rockford Fosgate audio components.
The billet steering wheel is mounted to an Ididit tilt column and sits ahead of Dakota Digital instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer with an inset tachometer as well as auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer was recently calibrated and shows zero miles; the seller states that the truck has been driven approximately two miles since the build was completed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Moser Engineering 9” rear end with a limited-slip differential and 31-spline axles.
The vehicle is titled as a 1950 DIAT using the VIN 404SC2765.
Elsewhere in The ClassicCars.com Journal, you can read about the Top 10 sales for each day of the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction. However, the docket is so huge that it would be a travesty to limit automotive coverage to each day’s Top 10. That’s where this series of stories come into play—to give the spotlight on other quality, desirable collectible vehicles.
The above Frost White 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K5 CST Highlander Feathers Edition is a perfect case in point. It looks fantastic inside and out. The name of this vehicle seems like a mouthful, but it’s due to this K5 featuring the CST (Custom Sport Truck) trim level, Highlander interior, and Feathers Edition exterior décor package. It’s powered by a 350 V8 with three-speed automatic, plus it includes an overhauled suspension, upgraded four-wheel discs, removable hardtop, 33-inch tires, Vintage Air, and RetroSound stereo. A lot of boxes are checked on this one!
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE The R/T was the performance variant of the Challenger, and the SE was the more luxurious version. Combine the two and you have a combination rarely matched in the muscle car world. What stands out with this one is not the “FC7” Plum Crazy paint or the “V6W” longitudinal stripe but, rather, the 440 Magnum/four-speed/Super Track Pak combination, which means this car has a leather/vinyl interior and Dana rear with 4.10 gears. There’s few muscle cars that can run so hard and pamper you in the process.
1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible If you ever wondered what it would look like if Pontiac introduced “Honeycomb” polycast wheels a year earlier on what may be the best-looking GTO ever, here ya go. The builder also added Judge stripes, Ram Air 455 with fuel injection, and TREMEC five-speed manual. Out back, you’ll find 3.55 limited-slip gears. This was originally a 400/four-speed convertible, so prepare to cry, purists!
1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Chevrolet’s have never been at the top of any list of mine, but I do not discriminate, as evidenced by this Z. What grabs me? It’s quite pretty thanks to the RS package and white vinyl top, two features that aren’t very unusual for a Camaro but there’s just something about this car. It originally was ordered with a host of nice options including center console, spoiler, red Deluxe interior, tilt steering wheel, Deluxe seatbelts and—get this—4.56 gears. Would it be incorrect to call this car a screamer?
1924 Dodge Brothers Custom Touring Sedan I can’t say I am totally familiar with Dodges from the 1920s, but I suspect it’s not as grand as a Wills Sainte Claire. However, the person who performed this conversion into a custom deserves kudos because this pre-Chrysler Mopar was given looks that elevate it to a level of “genetically gifted.” Power comes from a (cover your eyes) 350 small-block backed by a GM four-speed automatic with a Ford nine-inch playing a supporting role. Note that the custom red interior matches the wheels.
1930 Ford Five-Window Custom Coupe I can’t say I am a very good judge on old hot rods, but this Model A-inspired coupe was built by Jesse James for Paul Teutul of “American Chopper,” so this is the perfect gift for your significant other if (s)he’s a fan of “Housewives of Beverly Hills” or some other reality-based drama. That engine you see is a 1953 Chrysler 331ci FirePower Hemi with Zoomie headers—yowsa! As it’s a hot rod, there’s a lot of other equipment that wasn’t a part of this vehicle’s birth, but telling you about the 1957 Ford rear end, etcetera, is not as rewarding so let’s move on. . .
When you go to a Barrett-Jackson auction, you get an eyeful of cars, trucks, and SUVs from different eras. Tuesday’s top 10 sales at the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction were proof of that.
Take a look at the list below. You’ll see two major trends. The first is that American brands took eight of the 10 spots. The second is that the vehicles – including a customized UTV – were made in several different decades, from as early as the 1960s to as late as the 2020s (as in last year).
It’s also worth mentioning that bidders showed their love for modern American classics, such as the 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and the 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood, with their wallets.
Which brands and eras will make up the top 10 Wednesday sales at the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction? We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out. In the meantime, check out the docket of vehicles and automobilia that will be crossing the auction block. And be sure to register to bid here and buy your tickets here.

What’s better than aShelby GT500-powered off-road pickup? Winning a free one, plus some fun money on top. And what’s better than that? Knowing that you’re helping a good cause at the same time. Yesterday at the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction, chairman and CEO Craig Jackson announced a sweepstakes with a 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R and $20,000 as the top prize. Knowing that proceeds will benefit the African Parks non-profit conservation organization is a great bonus.
Dave and Jill Kimmerle of the Phoenix-based dealership Sanderson Ford will supply the special Agate Black Metallic 2026 Raptor R (which is currently being built). For years, the Ford F-150 Raptor was the king of high-flying off-road trucks, but then Ram released the 2021 TRX, which had a 702-horsepower supercharged Hemi under the hood. The Blue Oval responded by using a 700-horse version of the Shelby GT500 Mustang’s Predator supercharged 5.2-liter V8 to create the 2023 Raptor R. Just one year later, Ford Performance recalibrated the engine to produce 720 horsepower (torque remained 640 lb-ft). A set of 37-inch tires help the Raptor R tear across the desert and launch over dunes; Fox Live Valve shocks cushion its landings.
Rob Walton, Chair of African Parks Foundation of America, said, “We are deeply grateful to be selected as the beneficiary of this remarkable Ford F-150 4×4 Raptor R sweepstakes. African Parks’ mission is to conserve Africa’s most important landscapes and protect the wildlife and communities that depend on them, and this partnership will directly support that effort.” African Parks does that with the help of its thousands of employees, who run 23 parks that spread across nearly 50 million acres on the continent.
After the announcement in the Ford section at WestWorld of Scottsdale, I spoke with Philip R. Welp, a board member of African Parks Foundation, USA, about what his time in Africa working toward community development and greater climate, sustainability, and biodiversity awareness has taught him—and can teach others. He told me that people travel to Africa for the exotic animals, but they return for the loving people they meet there. After all, it’s easier to make an emotional connection with a person who tells you their story than a beautiful creature you see from a distance.
If you’d like to see a 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R up-close—as in parked in your driveway—and an additional $20,000 in your bank account, enter the sweepstakes now. It’s hosted by Tapkat, a fundraising platform that allows you to enter the drawing by making a charitable contribution here. You can also enter in person at any 2026 Barrett-Jackson auction.

Remember the television sitcom “Home Improvement” that was featured on the ABC network from 1991 through 1999? Tim Allen played Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor, a character who was frequently quoted as saying that his tools and equipment needed “MORE POWER!” Would Tim have been satisfied with a 521-horsepower Corvette? Featured on AutoHunter is a C3 that has no shortage of power, even for Tim Taylor: a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Custom Coupe listed by a dealer in Canby, Oregon. The auction will end on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. (MST).
It only takes a quick glance at this Corvette to see that it means business when it comes to performance. The engine is the predominant feature of the build – towering out of the nose in all its chromed-out glory. A spec list gives us some insight as to the nuts and bolts that bring it all together: The 355ci V8 is supercharged using a “Big Al’s” Roots-style supercharger, and features include dual Holley 750cfm carburetors, Iron Eagle Dart heads, a BDS blower, Hooker long-tube headers, and plenty of shiny dress-up bits. It’s a work of art. Power is fed to the rear tires via a robust Muncie M22 four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt Positraction rear end.
For 1979, Corvettes reached unprecedented sales heights, with over 50,000 units finding new owners. One of the drivers for that was a longer list of standard equipment. One ad said, “This year, Corvette engineers and designers continue to refine one of the world’s impressively responsive cars, blending styling and engineering to give you touring comfort and driver convenience. New flatter-folding bucket seats endow Corvette with a more practical carrying capacity. New dual-snorkel air induction air cleaner, new anti-theft steering column ignition lock, and standard Delco AM/FM radio help to make it one of the world’s well-equipped cars.”
The selling dealer says that this hopped-up Vette has been driven fewer than 500 miles on the new engine. It’s a car that would be equally suited for the street or the strip … especially considering how race-ready it is. (The interior has a tubular roll cage, and the meaty Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro rear tires do a solid job of channeling all 521 horses to the pavement.)
It’s been over 25 years since Tim Taylor made his characteristic grunt and asked for MORE POWER – but we are confident that if he saw, heard, and drove this muscular C3 Corvette, he’d probably just nod his head and smile.
If you have a penchant for horsepower, how do you swing? Do you prefer the lightest, most austere version? The fanciest, stylin’ version? Or something in between? If I took a poll, I bet it would show that most people prefer the version with the chrome, the interior, and the engine, but our Pick of the Day doesn’t demonstrate this popularity when you look at production numbers. This 1963 Dodge Polara 500 two-door hardtop is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in O’Fallon, Illinois.
What’s a Polara? It’s a made-up word that means nothing, but it was supposed to invoke space as the Polaris star is a part of the Ursa Minor constellation. Dodge first used the name in 1960, the same year the Chrysler Corporation utilized Unibody construction for all car lines save Imperial. Unlike earlier years, Dodge had two series of cars on different wheelbases, with the Polara and Matador (also new) being the senior series while the Dart (also new) was on a four-inch-shorter wheelbase. The Polara and Dart continued through 1962, but mid-year, Dodge introduced the Polara 500.
The Polara 500 caught the buckets-and-console wave in the compact segment. By 1962, this theme started appearing in mainstream full-size cars from Ford and Chevrolet. Though generally a two-door hardtop and convertible, the Polara 500 was also offered as a four-door hardtop, though it featured three-across seating with a center armrest. Alas, Dodges had trim proportions thanks to a smaller wheelbase (down six inches from 1961), plus somewhat odd styling that was not satisfactory to the American public, and sales suffered.
A fix appeared for 1963. Dodge grew the wheelbase three inches and stylists removed the side sculpting and made the flanks more conventionally slabbed. The staggered headlights continued, though in inverse form, with the all-new compact Dart featuring similar jutting headlights without the high beams in the grille (which arguably came off as being more handsome). As a result, full-size Dodge production (we’re talking about the downsized cars, not the “true” full-size 880 series) shot up due to public approval, and the good times would continue.
This 1963 Dodge Polara 500 two-door hardtop demonstrates the cleaner look while still maintaining some of the unusual aspects of its styling. However, this one is powered by the drag-oriented Ramcharger 426, commonly known as the “Max Wedge.” There were two versions of this, with this one having the low-compression (11.0:1!) iteration with 415 horsepower. Other features include Torqueflite automatic, AM radio, and 3.91 gears—clearly the original owner wanted to go fast, but also wanted to be stylin’.
Dodge built 962 cars with the Ramcharger 426 in 1963 and, lo and behold, Polara 500s were the rarest of the bunch, with 131 built. If you look at production numbers of cars from the era, you’ll see that the most popular hi-po versions were typically on the fanciest models, but this Dodge bucks that trend. Sounds like the typical Mopar owner, no?
When you walk through the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction at WestWorld, the first auction vehicles you see are rows of exotics, restomods, and muscle cars. Walk a little further indoors and you will see hundreds of cars, but the outside tents also house hundreds of vehicles that cross the block – and several surprises.
Below are several cars from Tent 1 that will be crossing the block at the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction. The eclectic selection is a highlight of the experience Barrett-Jackson offers.
1966 Buick Wildcat GS Nineteen sixty-six was the only year Buick had three Gran Sport models: Skylark, Riviera, and Wildcat. It also was the only year for the Wildcat GS, making these cars curiosities even among Buicks. The GS package was available on the Wildcat and Wildcat Custom hardtop and convertible and included the 340-horsepower 425 (an upgrade from the 401/325 that was standard on regular Wildcats), limited-slip rear, and heavy-duty suspension. This also was the final year the dual-quad 360-horse “Nailhead” was available, though this example has the standard four-barrel version. Only 1,244 were built among all four Wildcat Gran Sport iterations.
1979 Ford Bronco Custom SUV I’ve always dug the Free Wheeling graphics from this era, which really stand out against the black flanks. This one received the restomod treatment as evidenced by the 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 paired with a 10R140 10-speed automatic transmission. Other upgrades include 4.11 gears, Atlas transfer case, four-inch lift, BDS shocks, rear disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, and Dakota Digital gauges. Kudos go to Paradise Customs of Gilbert, Arizona, for the build.
1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 Talk with a fan who bleeds Ford Blue and (s)he’ll tell you this car is equipped with the best version of Ford’s 351 V8. Diehards will even claim it’s faster than the 429 Cobra Jet, though CJ fans would rather fight than switch. Raven Black paint (131 out of 1,806 were this color) scored you silver stripes and trim, which gives it a magnificent look and a nice change of pace from your usual white or black. Come to think of it, this Boss 351 might be for everyone after all!
1973 De Tomaso Pantera Few cars handled the U.S. federalized front bumper as well as the Pantera. Similarly to the Boss above, it’s powered by a four-barrel 351 Cleveland, though this one features a five-speed manual. Other features include air conditioning, AM/FM radio, staggered tire sizes, and factory chrome exhaust. The previous owner kept this from 1975 until 2021, which is always a nice plus for prospective buyers. Since this Italo-American is a hybrid of sorts, is it allowed to drive in the carpool lane with a Prius?
1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe This model is the last of the first-generation Continentals, not to mention the last American V12. The original Valley Green metallic glows, complemented by the green cloth and leather interior. Other features include power windows, signal-seeking AM radio, heater/defroster, and three-speed manual. One of the last pre-war designs before the post-war redesign, this Lincoln reflects a mix of old-world looks with new-world styling.
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator The stripes and spoiler thing was out in force for 1970, and who better than Mercury to lead the way with two models loaded for bear? (I’d say Pontiac was the other brand that had two bespoilered models.) The Eliminator played the role well as it came standard with front and rear spoilers—there even was a stripe on top of the spoiler, no less! Again, making an appearance here is a four-barrel 351 Cleveland, which was the standard engine, though those who wished for more could always step up to the Boss 302 or 428 Cobra Jet.
1941 Dodge G505 Custom Pickup This custom half-ton pickup is the quintessential “fully restored and tastefully upgraded” specimen that often appears at Barrett-Jackson. Power Wagon vibes with a knack for furniture restoration is another way to see it. Power comes from an upgraded 251ci Chrysler Spitfire inline-6 engine (replacing the factory 230ci unit) paired with a five-speed manual transmission (replacing the original four-speed), which helps make modern driving conditions easier to handle. However, I’d be lying if I said the custom woodwork didn’t interest me the most.
1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner It’s easy to gravitate to Tri-Five Chevys over Fords of the same era, but the 1955 Ford was strong too. In addition, the unusual Crown Victoria model had a Skyliner variant that included a partial Plexiglass roof for the sun to shine through—perhaps a proto-sunroof design without the wind? Power comes from a 292ci V8 paired with a Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Apparently, this one’s been sitting in a museum, so it could use some TLC, making it an excellent candidate for those capable.
2002 Lincoln Blackwood Remember these? Available only for one model year (though some resources say a version was available in Mexico for 2003), the Lincoln is rather uncommon as 3,383 were built. Apparently, functionality was compromised by several concessions to style, which was no bueno to customers. Pull up to the country club in one of these and those with a Lincoln Mark LT will writhe in inadequacy.
1938 LaSalle Sedan The Great Depression was unkind to a lot of cars, but LaSalle managed to survive the decade, only to be discontinued after 1940. Throughout its existence, it always came off as a sportier, kid version of Cadillac, though that’s difficult to reconcile judging by the formal look of this sedan. Harley Earl’s style is all over this, which is about as attractive as any car from ’38. Power comes from a 322ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual.
1938 Chrysler Royal Sedan I also think 1939 Chrysler products were strong across the board. If you think this ’39 Royal two-door sedan has something that makes you do a double-take, you would not be wrong—sealed-beam headlights have been installed. Chryslers of this era came with either six- or eight-cylinder engines, a symbol of Chrysler’s position in the market. Aside from the headlights, this one has been updated with four-wheel disc brakes, 12-volt electrical system, and aftermarket air conditioning.
1957 Toyota FJ25 Land Cruiser I don’t know much about Land Cruisers—their history appears convoluted to newbies—but I do know that this one from 1957 is quite early, especially in America. The 3.6-liter inline-six (loosely based on the GMC 236 engine and built under license) is paired with a four-speed manual. Features include a rebuilt original Aisan carburetor, new clutch, reconditioned and pressure-tested fuel tank, new fuel lines and fuel pump, new radiator, and a fully functional four-wheel-drive transfer case. It would be neat to compare this to a Jeep.
1977 AMC Gremlin This facelifted Gremlin features a transplant to the tune of 360 cubic inches, replacing the original four-cylinder. Additional upgrades include power steering, power brakes, dual exhaust, and fully restored suspension and steering components. The interior is “Hot Scotch” and looks exactly how it sounds. If you’re familiar with Randall Rambler, then this one could be seen as a little brother of sorts, full of horsepower combined with 1970s AMC Malaise. Buy this for Granny and see what happens (provided she lives in Pasadena).
It feels like the new year is flying by, but that could only mean one thing: the anticipation for the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction is over! Doors opened on January 17, with collector vehicles beginning to cross the block yesterday at WestWorld of Scottsdale and continuing through Sunday, January 25, 2026.
With a cast of thousands on four wheels (plus several others, give or take a wheel), the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction features an array of cars and trucks to whet the appetite of any enthusiast. Those that finished in the Top 10 on Monday covered a wide spread of model years and continents (click on each vehicle below to view in the docket).
