The 1970 Econoline sat at the more utilitarian end of Ford’s light-commercial range, but period camper conversions gave it a second life as a compact travel vehicle. What makes vans like this interesting today is not rarity in the usual collector-car sense, but survival: the appeal depends on how much of the original conversion, trim… Read More Stored 39 years: 1970 Ford Econoline E-300 SuperVan
The 1970 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato belongs to one of the most distinctive and low-volume chapters of Alfa Romeo’s post-war production. Designed at Zagato under Ercole Spada, the Junior Z departed entirely from the Bertone-bodied coupes of the 105 series, adopting a compact fastback shape with a large rear glass hatch and a… Read More Red special: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
The 1970 Plymouth Superbird was born out of a fierce competition on North American racetracks, especially in NASCAR. Following the success of the Dodge Charger Daytona in 1969, which had been designed with radical aerodynamics to dominate high-speed ovals, Plymouth wanted a similar weapon to lure superstar driver Richard Petty back from Ford. To meet… Read More Meep Meep: 1970 Plymouth Superbird
When you see a mirror-like glossy paint finish on a car that’s 50 years old or more, and someone tries to pass it off as the original paint, show them this photo. We don’t deny that there may be exceptions to the rule, but the truth is that the lead-based paints used back then don’t… Read More Dull pine: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior

The Torana GTR-X, a rare Australian marvel, stands as a testament to ingenuity and automotive artistry. Conceived by GM-H in the late 1960s, this stunning sports car was envisioned to challenge the norms of its time. Boasting a unique combination of a fibreglass body atop a steel “ladder” chassis, reminiscent of the iconic Chevrolet Corvette,… Read More Rare gem: 1970 Torana GTR-X
This car is blue, but despite the patina, it wasn’t born in this color: underneath, there are three more. The seller indeed states that the car was originally ivory in color, followed by repaints in red, then green, and finally the well-worn blue that you see in the photos in the listing, which we quite… Read More Four colors: 1970 Porsche 911T Coupé
We have already featured some Abarth Scorpione, including the extremely rare SS version; however, it is always rare to come across one for sale. This is because not only today but also back then, it was an expensive car, probably one of the most expensive considering the price-to-weight ratio. It is indeed a small car,… Read More Signed berlinetta: 1970 Abarth Scorpione 1300 S
We’ve seen many unique cars, but it’s the first time we’ve come across a muscle car used as a cop car. This 1970 Cuda was actually ordered brand new by a police officer who, in addition to including an enormous amount of optional extras (so much so that they had to add a second fender… Read More Cop car: 1970 Plymouth Cuda 340
“Zagato junior 1300” is the description of this announcement, and so far so good if it weren’t for one detail: it is clear which car it is, so a description like this adds no value.
