Do you crave a vehicle that’s the opposite of what you drive on a daily basis? Do you desire something that’s small, simple, and devoid of computers? Does the idea of a classic British roadster appeal to you? If so, consider this 1974 Triumph Spitfire that’s done a mere 48,100 miles in its lifetime. The Spitfire was introduced in 1962 and went through five generations until 1980. This car is a Spitfire 1500, which was the last generation. Furthermore, this numbers-matching car has undergone a full restoration, making it near-factory fresh and waiting to be enjoyed.
Wearing a beautiful coat of green metallic paint, this 1974 Triumph Spitfire is truly something to behold. The car stands just 48 inches tall and comes in at a very garage-friendly 145 inches long. It’s also a mere 57 inches wide. Yes, this car will make a modern subcompact hatchback look gargantuan. We’re told that the car sports a new frame, a new black convertible top, new wheels, and new tires. There’s also a cargo rack atop the trunk lid, as British roadsters don’t offer the most capacious cargo compartments. The interior of this 1974 Triumph Spitfire is a pleasing affair, upholstered in tan, with two leather seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The driver receives comprehensive instrumentation, including a prominent speedometer and tachometer directly ahead of the steering wheel. There’s also a heater to keep you warm on chilly days. While this car is mostly period-correct, it’s got a small surprise in the shape of the sound system. You’ll discover an Alpine head unit with CD playback and Bluetooth capabilities, hooked up to new Phoenix Gold amplifiers and new Polk Audio speakers. Hence, you can relax with some choice music after a blast down some of your favorite back roads on a quiet weekend morning or evening.
Pop the hood of this 1974 Triumph Spitfire, and you won’t find a V8 or even an inline-six. Nope, this car uses a diminutive 1.5-liter 4-cylinder powerplant to propel it along. But don't let its small capacity fool you; with its lightweight body and agile handling, this roadster can offer the kind of driving experience other cars dream of. We’re told that the engine has been rebuilt and packs less than 2,000 miles since then. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, an aftermarket exhaust system uplifts the driving experience, amplifying that characteristic rorty sound that British roadsters are renowned for. A new battery and new wiring have also been installed in this beautiful British roadster.

The 1970 Pontiac GTO Ram Air III stands among the most celebrated icons of the muscle car golden era, combining unmistakable styling with genuine high-performance engineering. As the heart of Pontiac’s performance lineup that year, the Ram Air III was the perfect middle ground between the accessible base 400 and the wild, track-oriented Ram Air IV. Under the hood, it packed a 400ci V8 rated at 366 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, featuring functional hood scoops that fed cold air directly into the carburetor for improved combustion. Paired with either a Turbo-Hydramatic automatic or Muncie 4-speed manual, the Ram Air III transformed the GTO from a stylish cruiser into a true street dominator. Built at the height of Detroit’s horsepower wars, this GTO embodied the power, attitude, and style that defined the American muscle era.

The 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds marked the 15th anniversary of the legendary collaboration between Hurst Performance and Oldsmobile, a partnership that began in the late 1960s and became synonymous with muscle car heritage. Based on the Cutlass Calais, this special edition represented the pinnacle of Oldsmobile performance during the early 1980s, when emissions and fuel regulations had tamed much of the American muscle spirit. Only 3,001 examples were produced in 1983, each finished in a distinctive black and silver two-tone paint scheme with bold red pinstriping and Hurst/Olds graphics. Under the hood sat Oldsmobile’s 307ci (5.0-liter) V8 engine paired with a unique Hurst Lightning Rods dual-shifter setup, giving drivers control over the three-speed automatic transmission like no other car of its era.
