The Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 was created as a homologation special for NASCAR, where the dramatically sloped rear window and extended rear deck were designed to improve aerodynamic performance on high-speed oval tracks. Produced only for the 1986 model year, just 1,225 examples left the factory, making it one of the rarest G-body derivatives and… Read More 1,992 Miles: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupé
The Chrysler Valiant Charger is one of Australia’s defining performance cars of the early 1970s. Developed specifically for the local market, it combined compact dimensions with Chrysler Australia’s Hemi inline-six engines, earning a reputation for strong performance and distinctive styling. The VJ series refined the successful VH Charger, while the Sports Pack added visual and… Read More Aussie survivor: 1975 Chrysler VJ Valiant Charger XL Sports Pack
The Alfa Romeo Alfetta was conceived as the technological flagship of Alfa Romeo’s sedan range, introducing a transaxle layout that placed the gearbox and clutch at the rear for improved weight distribution. By the early 1980s the 2.0-litre version represented the most refined evolution of the original project, combining the marque’s twin-cam four-cylinder engine with… Read More Blue survivor: 1982 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2.0
The Porsche 356C represented the final evolution of the original 356 line, combining four-wheel disc brakes with the familiar rear-mounted flat-four that had defined Porsche’s first production sports car. By 1965, the model was approaching the end of its production run, offering a refined driving experience while retaining the lightweight simplicity that made the 356… Read More Owned 58 years: 1965 Porsche 356C Coupé
The Jeep CJ-7 is one of the defining civilian off-road vehicles of the late twentieth century. Introduced in 1976, it retained the rugged simplicity of earlier Jeeps while offering improved comfort and practicality for everyday use. By 1984, the CJ-7 was nearing the end of its production run, making well-preserved, unmodified examples increasingly difficult to… Read More 54,713 miles: 1984 Jeep CJ-7
The Talbot-Lago Record T26 represented the pinnacle of the French marque’s post-war sedan production. Beneath its restrained appearance lay the celebrated 4.5-litre inline-six that also powered the sporting Grand Sport models, making it one of the most sophisticated luxury cars of its era. While most Record T26s were delivered with factory coachwork, a small number… Read More Black survivor: 1950 Talbot-Lago T26 by Chapron
The Maserati Kyalami sits in a difficult but interesting corner of the marque’s history. It belongs to the early De Tomaso period, derived in part from the Longchamp architecture but fitted with Maserati’s own V8 and reshaped into a more restrained grand tourer. It was never produced in large numbers, and the later 4.9-litre cars… Read More Silver wind: 1978 Maserati Kyalami 4.9
The late Toronado belongs to the phase when American personal luxury cars had moved away from the sharp experimentation of the late 1960s and into something softer, heavier and more formal. That makes the XS interesting, because it was one of the few attempts to give the final-generation Toronado a more distinctive identity. The special… Read More Land yacht: 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado XS
The first-series Delta is not yet, in this form, one of the most sought-after Lancias on the market. That is precisely why an example like this deserves attention. The 1300 carburettor version belongs to the quieter, more ordinary end of the original range, but today it is far harder to find a car like this… Read More White survivor: 1982 Lancia Delta 1300
The Espada was the company’s four-seat grand tourer, less mythologised than the Miura but more usable and, in period, hardly a secondary product. By the time the Series II arrived, the model had gained a cleaner dashboard layout and mechanical development, but the basic appeal remained the same: Gandini styling, a front-mounted V12 and an… Read More Dusted: 1971 Lamborghini Espada
