Classic Ford Vehicles for Sale

In mid-March, I wrote a commentary headlined “I don’t understand the need for driving gloves: Do people wear them just to look cool, or do they enhance car control?”  While I have nothing against such gloves, or against those who might wear them, I had never understood exactly why people would wear them, or why […]

The Pick of the Day is advertised as a 1966 Ford GT40 with an asking price of $124,999.  Deal of the century for a GT40 Mk I “street-legal supercar”? Well, as it turns out, this car being offered by its private owner in Gardnerville, Nevada, is not one of the cars that Ford raced at […]

While “speedster” is most-often associated with “bathtub” Porsche 356 roadsters of the 1950s, the term goes back to the Brass Era days of stripped-down sports cars, from pricey Mercer Raceabouts to the facsimiles hand-built from abundant Model T Fords. The Pick of the Day is a sharp-looking 1914 Ford Model T Speedster that appears to […]

The huge 2020 Ford F350 Super Duty, refreshed to keep up with the Joneses (i.e. Chevy, GMC and Ram), was pretty much what I had expected – a supremely powerful and capable beast of burden, albeit with a high-luxury interior courtesy of the King Ranch package.  But there also was something I did not expect, […]

The Pick of the Day is an evocative 1932 Ford roadster designed like the dry lake warriors that competed for speed records in California after World War II at such legendary venues as EL Mirage.  The vintage high boy, hand-painted with WWII-style nose-art graphics and sporting an aircraft-style multi-pane windshield, looks like it might have […]

A few years ago, as part of the filming of a National Geographic special Driving America, I spent time in Traverse City, Michigan, where Hagerty opened its garage and car collection to the television crew.  As part of the project, I drove a 1915 Ford Model T, a 1963 Chevrolet “split-window” Corvette, a 1960 Porsche […]

I was half asleep when he knocked on the door. “Rich, you up?” He entered the room and sat at the end of the bed.  “Yeh, what’s up?” My voice reflected the late night before.  He glanced around the room, noting the strange art and artifacts that made my habitat. Then he directed his eyes […]

To celebrate the sale of the first million Mustangs, Ford did a special Sprint package in the spring of 1966. The package provided upgraded equipment for Mustangs with 6-cylinder engines, and proved successful enough that for 1968, a Sprint “Package B” option was available with a V8 engine. The Pick of the Day is a […]

Jeff Boone was 11 years old when his grandfather gifted him a 1936 Ford. That was in 1973. This past weekend, the car won Custom d’Elegance honors at the Sacramento Autorama at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds. The show, which has been running for 70 years, gives its top honors, the Custom d’Elegance award, to the […]

Marty Vieau admits he is obsessed with excellence. He even describes his life’s mission as “I will never settle for anything less than excellence. In job, in hobby or home life.” So, it is probably fitting that Vieau is the guy who uncovered a long lost factory custom Ford Fairlane that many assumed had been […]
