People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
The Chevy Camaro is the General’s answer to Ford’s Mustang pony car. Introduced in 1967, the Camaro and its sister car, the Pontiac Firebird, really took the fight to Ford. Chevy had studied what pony car buyers wanted and nailed the formula from the start. Almost 221,000 units were sold to much fanfare. Today, a 1967 Camaro is a great way to enter the world of classic cars, and if that floats your boat, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale right now. This is a fully-restored example, and the current owner says that there’s documentation of all work available. The car has done less than 1,600 miles since restoration. So, it’s a classic that you can drive daily, fearlessly, and enthusiastically.
The art of cruising is one that's done best behind the wheel of a convertible, and you can always take it up a notch and opt for a classic convertible to really savor a good drive. Finding the right classic convertible can be a task, you would want the looks on point, performance that's decent and a cabin that provides comfort and aesthetic. Present today is the perfect union of what makes a great classic convertible and takes shape with this lovely 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. With a reported 33,144 miles on the clock, this isn't just a convertible built for chilled out drives, this mighty behemoth of a machine is also proper '60s muscle as well.
Every generation of Mustang is iconic, but the original is considered genesis. This is ground zero, where the entire pony car genre was born. The 1964½ Mustang, as it’s known, started production a few months before the normal 1965 model year. Although Ford officially referred to all these Mustangs as 1965 Model Year cars, there were subtle differences made to the design after August 1964. Our featured car is an early-model 1964½ and features a new paint job and a rebuilt engine. If you’re looking for the perfect entry into the world of classic Mustang ownership, this classic stallion is the perfect way to do so.
The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
