1971 Ford Mustang 429 Cobra Jet Hidden for 37 Years Is Rarer Than Hen's TeethOriginally introduced as a pony car, the Ford Mustang quickly joined the muscle car wars. It got its first big-block V8 in 1967, while the 428-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Cobra Jet joined the lineup in mid-1968. The latter is among the most iconic Mustang powerplants.Rated at 335 horsepower and 440 pound-feet (597 Nm) of torque, the 428-cubic-inch mill remained in production through 1970. The following year, Ford offered a 429-cubic-inch version good for 370 horsepower (the Super Cobra Jet version delivered 375 horsepower). The 429 Cobra Jet is widely regarded as the last high-performance first-gen Mustang. It's also a rare rig.

While the 428 Cobra Jet was quite popular, with 18,049 units sold between 1968 and 1970 (not including Shelby GT500 models), the 429-cubic-inch version of the mill found its way into only 1,865 vehicles in 1971. This figure includes 1,252 Cobra Jets and 613 Super Cobra Jets.When it comes to engine setups, the non-Rai Air Super Cobra Jet with the three-speed automatic is the rarest of the bunch. Ford sold only 20 examples. As far as body styles go, the convertible is by far the scarcest, with just 42 built (2.2% of the total production). The red 'Stang you see here is one of those cars.

Documented by classic car enthusiast Lou Costabile, this rag-top is one of those classics that are rarer than hen's teeth. Yes, 42 examples may sound a bit high for this statement, but the convertible is actually much rarer when we factor in all the drivetrain specs. It's J-code Cobra Jet Ram Air with a four-speed manual, of which Ford produced only, wait for it, four!

Making things even more spectacular, it's an unrestored survivor. And I'm not talking about cars that have gotten paint corrections and replacement parts under the hood. This Mustang is the real deal. Aside from the radiator, which was rebuilt, the drop-top is 100% original. It's the very definition of a time capsule.

It's also pretty amazing that it has survived in this condition. According to the current owner, who bought it in 2020, the Mustang spent a whopping 37 years in a backyard. The previous owner, who had no idea how rare it was, had left it there under a tarp. Incredibly enough, the Mustang emerged with only minor rust issues.The paint shows serious weathering, but the interior is still in fantastic condition. The engine could use a cleaning, but the owner opted to leave it untouched during the mechanical revival. The mill, which was never taken out of the car, runs like in the good old days.

This is the owner's second 1971 Cobra Jet Ram Air convertible four-speed. The other one is fully restored. Moreover, he owns the only cars known to exist. The whereabouts of the other two examples are unknown as of this writing. To put it simply, we're looking at a one-of-one survivor.

1965 Chrysler 300L With Rare Four-Speed Manual Needs a New HomeIntroduced for the 1955 model year, the Chrysler C-300 ki...

1965 Chrysler 300L With Rare Four-Speed Manual Needs a New HomeIntroduced for the 1955 model year, the Chrysler C-300 kick-started a lineage of range-topping models known as the "letter series." It was produced for 11 years, and the 1965 300L marked the end of the line.The "letter series" is a somewhat iconic Chrysler, but certain iterations are more famous than others. The earlier C-300, 300B, 300C, and 300D are perhaps the most desirable. The final 300L doesn't get as much time in the spotlight, but it's among the rarest Chryslers of the era.

With 2,845 units produced, it was one of the most popular iterations of the 300 "letter series" line, but not all of these cars made it to 2025 in one piece. In fact, the number of unrestored survivors and Concours-ready rigs is actually far lower. Moreover, the 300L production run included a four-speed manual version that's quite rare.Chrysler buyers were keen on shifting their own gears. Of the 2,845 examples sold, 2,737 were ordered with the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, while only 108 were specified with the four-speed manual. It's unclear how many have survived, but they rarely show up at car shows or auction events.

Well, amazingly enough, I just stumbled across the second manual 300L in one month. Back in March, I showed you a convertible that was being revived by YouTube's "Dead Dodge Garage." One of only 12 examples with this body style and drivetrain combo, it was also an unrestored survivor. The triple-blue gem had been in the same family for nearly 60 years.

Today, I'm showing you a hardtop version. While not quite as rare as the drop-top, this Mopar is still ultra rare, with only 96 examples produced. This one is not a survivor. But fortunately enough, it's not a rusty barn find either. Hailing from Nicholasville, Kentucky, it looks more like an older restoration.

Finished in a gorgeous shade of dark green (GG-1 Sequoia Green Poly in the Chrysler catalog), the Chrysler appears to be in great condition on the outside. The paint still shines, and there are no signs of rust. The chrome looks great, except for "some pitting" mentioned in the ad. The white interior is also nice but could use a deep cleaning and some detailing.There's no confirmation whether the V8 engine is original, but it sure looks like it. It's factory-correct as far as I can tell, and the weathering suggests it was never removed from the car. All 1965 300Ls were shipped with a 413-cubic-inch (6.8-liter) Golden Lion V8 rated at 360 horsepower and 470 pound-feet (637 Nm) of torque.

The odometer reads 73,396, but the seller doesn't mention whether it has turned over. It could be legit, but I'd inquire about it and try to find out whether the car has been restored. Maybe it's a well-preserved survivor, and I'm wrong about the restoration.

The seller is asking $29,000 or the best offer, which is about $6,000 below the public auction average for restored examples, according to classic.com. I found a handful of 300Ls in excellent condition selling for less, but they're all automatic. A fully restored manual version was auctioned off for $75,000 in 2024. How much is this Mopar worth?

Owner Turned This Chevy Nova Sedan Into a Convertible, so Why Is It Sitting in a Shed?People who walked into a Chevrolet dealership in 1967 to order a Nova had to spend at least $2,296 on the car, although the price went up significantly when they started adding more options.The GM brand used the same strategy as in the case of the Impala, providing customers with a long list of options, including air conditioning, power steering, a tachometer, power brakes, a push-button radio, two-tone paint, wire wheel covers, and front shoulder belts.

The engine lineup included five options.

The standard engines started with the four-cylinder Super-Thrift 153 exclusive to the Chevy II 100 two- and four-door sedan. It produced 90 horsepower and was available standard with a 3-speed fully synchronized transmission.

The rest of the engines were available for all models in the lineup and included a Hi-Thrift six-cylinder unit with 120 horsepower and a Turbo-Fire 283 V8 with 195 horsepower. Chevrolet offered two optional engines, namely a Turbo-Thrift 250 six-cylinder with 155 horsepower and a Turbo-Fire 327 V8 with 275 horsepower.

The 1967 Nova in these photos landed online without many engine specifics, though it looks like it's powered by a 350ci V8. Correct me if I'm wrong – and you can use the comment box at the end of the article – but if I'm right, this is no longer the original engine.

It's not like it matters much, as this Nova has already received major changes, including the most obvious one to the body. The car was born as a four-door sedan—and the VIN confirms this—but the owner converted it into a two-door convertible. The conversion doesn't look bad, but it requires more work in all the key areas.

eBay seller nsmi6412 posted the car online without many details, and that's why I think every buyer should contact them for additional information. The car's current condition is as mysterious as possible, and it's unclear why it's still sitting in a shed without someone working on it. The project has likely been suspended, and the seller says the engine might be running – it ran when they last attempted to start it.The owner is confident they can get $10,000 for the car, but they also enabled the Make Offer option on eBay to allow for further negotiations if someone wants it but isn't willing to pay that much. The good news is that 48 users added the Nova to their watchlists – so people are interested in the car – so fingers crossed that someone eventually buys it.

The Nova is parked in Checotah, Oklahoma, with the listing set to expire in 23 days, meaning buyers have enough time to contact the seller and maybe inspect the vehicle live before making an offer.

1971 Alfa Romeo GTV Barn Find Gets First Wash in 40 Years, Becomes Solid SurvivorRemember the barn-found 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV I showed you earlier this month? It was dragged back into the light after a whopping 40 years, wearing a thick layer of dust and grime. Well, the Italian classic got the deep cleaning it deserves and morphed into a solid survivor.The vehicle was found somewhere in London by YouTube's "RC Classic Garage." And unlike most barn finds, it wasn't removed from its resting place to be parted out and crushed. Luckily, this GTV is getting a full restoration. A proper bath was necessary for the owner to assess the damage, and fortunately enough, he got it all on video.

If you're into this type of content, you're in for a real treat. This Alfa Romeo was quite dirty after four decades in storage, and it was very satisfying seeing it become clean from bumper to bumper. Making things even better, the process leaves the GTV surprisingly clean.Sure, there's lots of surface rust on the outside, and a few rot holes here and there, but the panels are still solid overall. The interior was actually a nice surprise, with the two-tone upholstery still in one piece and no cracks on the dashboard.

Our host also discovered that the car wasn't a fullyf-fledged unrestored survivor. Although it's indeed highly original and numbers-matching, the car was repainted before it was parked in the 1980s. The previous owner opted to change the color as well. Now sporting a heavily weathered shade of maroon, the 1750 GTV was actually born yellow. But for what it's worth, maroon was also a factory color in 1971. Unsurprisingly, our host wants to return it to the original yellow hue.

The owner posted a second video where he cleaned the engine and the undercarriage with dry ice. The powerplant turned out great, while the chassis cleaning revealed a few issues. He discovered two holes in the floor, two older chassis repairs that have to be redone, and serious rust on the front valance and lower front fenders. However, he believes the car is structurally in decent shape and a great starting point for restoration.The engine, on the other hand, remains a mystery. It's unclear if it turns over and whether the internals are damaged, but he plans to find out soon.

When completed, the car will share the garage with other classic vehicles our host has restored over the years. His collection includes two other Alfa Romeos that were found in similar conditions: a 1969 GTV and a 1967 Duetto Spider.

The 1750 GT Veloce arrived in 1967 and was part of the 105/155 series, which the Italian automaker debuted in 1963. A replacement for the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, the GTV featured a 1.8-liter twin-cam inline-four engine rated at 120 horsepower and 137 pound-feet (186 Nm) of torque. Other enhancements included a revised chassis with new geometry, an anti-roll bar, and larger disc brakes. The 1750 GTV remained in production through 1972, overlapping with the 2000 GTV for one year.

Alfa Romeo sold 44,269 units over six model years. 1971 production numbers are unavailable, but this version is considered rare in right-hand-drive configuration. Restored examples can fetch over $50,000 at public auctions. Check out the videos below to see this cool Alfa Romeo get its first wash in four decades.

Flawless 1971 Pontiac GTO Fails To Sell, Maybe Buyers Didn't Like What's Under the HoodThe GTO was slowly but surely losing traction in the American automotive space, mainly as the market was migrating to smaller and more efficient engines. Compact cars were suddenly more appealing, so GTO sales collapsed to 10,532 units.The hardtop continued to be the most desirable model, accounting for 9,497 orders, while the convertible was a rare sight in 1971, with 661 units.

A 1971 Pontiac GTO landed online to sell at auction earlier this week, but the car just failed to find a new owner as nobody managed to hit the reserve. The bidding ended a few minutes ago after 50 bids and a top offer of $42,300.

It's hard not to like this GTO when checking it from the outside, so maybe bidders weren't necessarily excited by what's hiding under the hood. The car looks spotless, and eBay seller scotte1522 says it won third place at the GTOAA Nationals. Everything on this GTO works, including the factory AM/FM stereo, and the interior looks flawless.As I said earlier, the under-the-hood part might have pushed some buyers away from this GTO. The car no longer has the original engine, and the seller later revealed that the unit currently under the hood is not a matching-numbers V8. The car is powered by a rebuilt 1968 WS with high-performance heads, with less than 1,200 miles on it.

The 1971 GTO was standard with a 400ci V8 engine with 255 horsepower. It was fitted with a 3-speed heavy-duty transmission standard, but customers could also order 4-speed and Turbo Hydra-matic transmissions.

There were two optional engines in 1971. The 455 four-barrel engine generated 260 horsepower, while the HO version was rated at 310 horsepower and could be ordered with a 3-speed heavy-duty, 4-speed close-ratio, or Turbo Hydra-matic.

Unfortunately, this GTO lost its original block, and despite everything being in tip-top shape, some buyers might not be interested in spending big bucks on a specimen that doesn't check this important box.

Otherwise, it's hard to find something to hate on this 1971 GTO. The paint looks spotless, the interior is clean and in perfect shape, and you won't find any rust on the undersides. The trunk is also clean, and the buyer is also offering the original spare tire and jack. The car is also equipped with air conditioning, still blowing cold air. You can see all the original equipment installed on this GTO from the factory in the build sheet included in the photo gallery.There's a good chance this GTO will end up being relisted, so if you like the car and are willing to pay more than the highest bid, keep an eye on this article, and I'll let you know when the car becomes available again.

Owner Sells a 1974 'Cuda With Just a Single Change You Won't Like, Restoration NeededThe new decade had no mercy for large engines and big cars, and the entire market was pushed, mainly with increasing insurance costs and rising fuel costs, to smaller and more efficient models.Models like the GTO were severely hit by the new trends, and some eventually disappeared, including Pontiac's superstar.

Plymouth tried to keep the 'Cuda on the market with a series of big changes under the hood, so in 1974, customers who wanted the car had to settle for either a standard 318ci unit or an optional 360ci.

The carmaker tried to praise the 360 high-performance engine on every occasion, claiming it was still based on the 340 but sported welcome upgrades, including heavy-duty bearings, a new crankshaft, special intake and exhaust valves, and a four-barrel carburetor.

The 'Cuda in these photos was born with a 318ci unit under the hood but was later upgraded to a 360ci engine. This means the car no longer has the original engine, and this is probably the only thing you won't like on this 'Cuda. eBay seller myates8t7i describes the engine as "the only non-matching numbers part of the car," adding that it's still healthy. It starts and runs, but requires further repairs.

This is why the car landed online.

This 'Cuda needs a complete restoration, and I have to admit that it instantly caught my attention when the owner described it as "a true survivor of an important moment in time." The car still has the original paint and many other factory parts, but it'll need extensive work in some areas, including the trunk. You'll need a new floor, but the owner says they'll offer several extras to help with the restoration, including new quarters.

The cabin is also original, and the headliner is described as being in "great shape." As I typically recommend when coming across special classics requiring a restoration, an in-person inspection is the best approach before bidding, especially because a 'Cuda could eventually become a highly desirable classic, rapidly catching the attention of wealthy collectors. For now, it's a project that needs major work, so fingers crossed that the right restoration guy sees it and decides to take it home.Until this happens, the 'Cuda hopes it gets enough attention on eBay. The auction started a few days ago, with only two people entering the digital race so far. The top offer is $4,000, but the owner also enabled a reserve, so it's still in place, forcing the Internet to send higher offers before the 'Cuda can leave for a new home.

The Buy It Now price is $13,000, and considering 26 people added the 'Cuda to their watchlists, we might see someone getting closer to this value to buy the car.
