Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
Wearing the iconic color called British Racing Green, this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a car that you’ll want to own and drive with every bit of your soul. It’s a deeply emotive thing, as it embodies the spirit of freedom. The car is a mere 151 inches long and 56 inches wide, making a compact hatchback seem gigantic in comparison. Moreover, its open-topped nature really brings you closer to the environment. Of course, there’s a tan convertible top and door uppers to deploy if the weather gets nasty, but these things are really just meant to keep you dry for long enough until you return to the safe confines of your garage. Then, you can park the car and admire its eager-eyed headlamps, wire wheels, and squat tail, all features that define a British roadster to a tee. The two-seat interior of this 1962 Triumph TR3A is said to be new, and provides two seats in a color hue called camel. The seats are leather upholstered, but pretty close together, so pick your passenger wisely. Then, we’ve got new carpeting and new headliner as well. There’s no radio, though, so a Bluetooth speaker is your best bet for music. Not that you’re likely to want music when driving this car with gusto; the mere experience of driving it, accompanied by the engine’s song is more than enough to entertain.
Powering this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a rebuilt 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Factory specs tell us that the engine makes 100 horsepower when new, which, in this car that weighs less than 2,100 pounds, is more than enough to excite. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provide more than enough stopping power, and the steering, while unassisted, uses a Bishop cam system for a suitably engaging experience.

Triumph was a brand of sports cars made by the Standard Motor Company of Britain. Renowned for their diminutive dimensions, perky engines and thrilling driving experience at relatively low speeds, British sports cars, particularly British roadsters from the fifties through the eighties, were a wonderful place for petrolheads to be. These cars were the very antithesis of America’s muscle cars, and proved that you could have a lot of fun without large, thirsty V8s and massive car bodies. The TR3 was one of Triumph’s best-sellers, and we’ve got a 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible up for sale right now. The current owner tells us that it’s received a new facelift, making it ready to be your faithful weekend drive companion.
If you're looking for a machine that can bring you the best driving memories for moderate financial outlay, its hard to overlook the legendary open top british classics. Being behind the wheel of one is an occasion to remember and might make browsing through the classifieds and crossing off your weekend plans for more time behind the wheel of one. Present today is one of Britain's finest and takes shape with this 1972 Triumph TR6. This clean example is a looker and guarantees to be part of the best weekend plans one can have.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
