1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod

Current Ask
$295,000

The 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.

$32,500

The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$33,000

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.
