Sometimes cars show up that seem to have a combination of a bunch of great features, all on four wheels. If you like muscle cars, pillarless hardtop sedans, and space for the whole family, you can’t overlook Buick’s Wildcat, produced from 1965-1970. The 7.0-liter V8 pulls strongly, and you can ride with all the windows down for a nearly-open-air feeling. Check out this 1969 Buick Wildcat, for sale for $2500 in Madras, OR.
As you track down specific types of old cars, you start noticing the nuances that, while overlooked by the casual enthusiast, are visible to someone who specializes in a certain marque or even model. Call them anoraks, call them nerds, call them bores, or call them founts of knowledge, it’s hard not to pick some of those things up yourself. No doubt most enthusiasts have heard of split window Corvettes or split window Beetles, but did you know there’s a split window Volvo wagon? Check out this 1969 Volvo 145S for sale for $4500 in Portland, OR.
Last week, there were a couple of compact trucks featured here. But wait, you sputtered, those trucks won’t be able to haul anything more than a few sheets of plywood or some mulch! I need something more angular, burly, and with more driven wheels! I need a vehicle that would be found among cows in grassy pastures, on gravel roads by a white fence, or in front of a farmhouse! Well, oddly enough, the car gods must have been listening, which is why you need to check out this 1973 Jeep J2000 4×4 for sale for $4000 in Pilot Rock, OR.
