Muscle Car News: A golden find: One-owner muscle car heads to estate auction

by Jack Harmon

“It’s especially amazing that a muscular muscle car would turn up in a lady’s garage in Bristol,” said a bemused onlooker. The ’68 Firebird, a 5.7-litre V8 with under 84,000 miles, is heading to auction with its one-owner story intact. Meanwhile, muscle car mania is revving up elsewhere: million-dollar beauties strut their stuff at car shows, Kumho V8s roar into the Muscle Car Masters, and a camouflaged 2017 Camaro ZL1 sneaks around in stealth mode. Who knew muscle could be so charmingly mysterious?

An estate sale, a numbers-matching V8 sitting on a stand in a garage, and a certified appraiser willing to put a hard number on all of it — that’s the setup behind this 1968 Buick GS 400 out of Port Huron, Michigan. AutoAppraise’s Jason Phillips values the car at $35,000 after tallying over $20,000 in documented drivetrain work alone, but it’s the low, bellowing idle that keeps pulling viewers back years later. Is a scarce, correctly-matched GS400 actually the smartest buy in 1968 muscle?

Plymouth Suburban 1959 Station Wagon

by Kiril

Plymouth built well over 120,000 Suburban wagons for 1959, split across Deluxe, Custom, and Sport trims, with the mid-range Custom alone accounting for 53,869 units. They rode a wagon-specific 122-inch wheelbase with torsion-bar front suspension, came standard with a 132-horsepower flathead six, and could be ordered with a 305-horsepower Golden Commando V8. Almost none survived, because families used them up. Read on for what made the Big Fin wagons worth a second look.

Muscle Car Heaven

A short reel from the channel Motortube drops viewers straight into an auction lane full of muscle cars, no narration required. Some machines pull a scramble of bids while others slide through in near silence, and the gap between those two outcomes says a lot about where the muscle car market stands today. There is no script here, just chrome, paint, and a room deciding what history is worth. Watch to see which ones the crowd chases.

Jeff Stolowski bought this 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible sight unseen, based on nothing more than a friend’s description of an estate sale find. Only after it arrived did he start noticing options that did not belong on an ordinary 442 — clues that led him to discover he had actually purchased Official Pace Car Number 1. He brought the car to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois, to share its story with the community that appreciates it most. Watch to find out what tipped him off.
