72 OLDS--- this car has a number of things against it, including having 4 doors, being a 1972 and not a 1971, and being seriously overpriced. This is really a $3500 car all day long.
64 Dodge -- another odd duck, not terribly attractive, 4 doors, 6 cylinder. It would be hard to unload once you tire of it (which will probably be very quickly). Price would fair enough I guess if it were a big block V8 but the 6 cylinder is a huge knock on value.
When it comes to 60s and early 70s cars, it is ALL about the engine.

I think the '72 Cutlass is cool, because it's a 4-door hardtop. You just don't see those all that often. Although I have noticed that if I do see a '68-72 era GM intermediate 4-door hardtop, it's always a Cutlass. I wonder if Olds made more of that style than Chevy, Pontiac, or Buick did?
It seems like the Cutlasses are usually very well-equipped too, with cloth and carpeting on the door panels, whereas the Chevy/Pontiac/Buick counterparts are much more spartan, with just the vinyl slabs. I know where there's a '71 Cutlass 4-door hardtop in DC, that even has power windows, but alas it's a total rust bucket.

I think it's harder to style a smaller 4-door hardtop, because you have to deal with that back window rolling all the way down into the door. Although I guess you could cheat a little, as GM did in '71-76, with the full-sized cars that had a small, triangular piece of window that still stuck up. Or maybe that was just the C-bodies, which had a more squared-off rear window, something the B's would adopt for '74?
With some really big cars, I think the 4-door hardtops actually look better than the 2-door versions. They seem better balanced overall, with the ratio of roof-to-decklid. On some of those big hardtop coupes, there's not enough roof, and too much decklid. I think Chrysler was especially guilty of this with cars like the '69-73 Imperial.
GM did a pretty good job with their midsized 4-door hardtops, I think. Chrysler never tried a midsized 4-door hardtop, although I guess you could argue the shrunken '62-64 Fury, Polara, etc. However, they were trying to pass those off as trim-sized full-sized cars. They really wouldn't get marketed as intermediates until '65, when they became the Coronet and Belvedere. Oddly, Ford waited until almost the end of the trend, only offering a 4-door hardtop on the Torino/Montego for '70-71. They must have been really rare. I've only seen two that I can remember. One was at a swap meet in Carlisle, PA, back around the late 1990's/early 2000's. I remember it was light green, had a 429, and they wanted $5000 for it. I thought it would have made a neat sleeper. The other sat out on a street in DC for, oh, a good decade or more. I first saw it in 1997...the reason I remembered it was because it was parked by a green '79 or so Newport. Heck, it even showed up on Google's Street View at one point! FWIW, here's a pic I took of that '71 (edit...I think it's actually a '70) Cutlass 4-door hardtop, about a year ago...

I like the looks of both, with a lean toward the Dodge, although I dislike the red stripe. I figured both were overpriced, although we don't know the reserve on either. The listing for the Dodge is lacking details and, yes, the slant 6 with pushbutton auto a sleeper? ha!

I always wondered how a hopped-up 225 slant six would work out? They tend to be torquey engines with good low-end grunt, but they don't like to rev. They also don't adapt well at all to emissions controls which require them to run hotter, which is one reason they were ultimately phased out. Chrysler offered a "Hyper-Pack" setup for the 225, that was a 4-bbl carb, hotter cam, etc, and it put out 197 hp versus the stock 145. However, it got that 197 at something like 5250 rpm, which seems awfully high for something with such a long stroke.
The 4-bbl setup in that '64 Dodge is aftermarket though, so Lord only knows how well it would work. In theory, I'd guess that it would perform about as well as your typical base V-8 intermediate of the era, and would benefit in having a 3-speed automatic, whereas a Chevelle would only have a 2-speed, and I think that's all Ford was using on smallblock Fairlanes...unless a 3-speed was optional? But, a 283-2bbl Chevelle with a Powerglide is hardly a sleeper, either.
My guess is that the mods to that '64 Dodge would make it adequate to keep up with modern traffic, but hardly a performance car. FWIW, back in the day, something like that with the stock 225-1bbl and a 3-speed automatic was probably good for 0-60 in about 15.5-16 seconds.
Oh, and I'm not really a big fan of that red stripe, either. It's like they're trying to hold onto the vestiges of the 50's.

The '68-'72 GM A-body 4-door hardtop is an example of the stylists winning over the production engineers and bean counters. The design required that little molding and contrasting color or vinyl roof material on the top rear edge of the back doors. That would never happen today (assuming anyone still made two-tone or vinyl roof cars!). Personally I always found that detail awkward and ugly.

Looks like the rust got taken care of. Still, you have to love it, as you'll never come out ahead. 2K in Germany, maybe. Maybe not much harm done if it has some good bits.

Why pay 911 money for a 912? Oh, never mind, I just saw what folks are paying for a V6 Dino. YIKES!
I agree on the GTO clone, seems to have lots of decent parts for a pretty cheap price.
I like the AMX most of the bunch, seems to be a slightly rough original of a car I've always liked for not too much money.

72 Cadillac---oh yeah, we used to call that type of exhaust "straight pipes"
75 Cougar -- the beginning of the end for Detroit---entrance tunnel to "The Dark Times"
67 Porsche 912 -- that car will go back to Europe---fairly rare because it is an early short wheelbase model, so very desirable for vintage racing over there. Price seems a tad optimistic, even though it is the most valuable type of 912. It's not very fast and a hopped-up Volkswagen Bug will run away from it. I'd say low $20Ks if there is no serious rust. With this type of car, if the rust enters the floorpan where it meets the A or B pillars, you can just throw the car into a dumpster---it'll never be right.
72 Pont Lemans --- so the buyer does all this work to the engine and doesn't have a photo of it?
68 AMX -- I always liked these cars and yes there is interest in them---but this one looks very nasty. I'd say grossly overpriced even for a 390. For that money it should be cleaner. I'd say $12K all day if you're generous--if a shrewd buyer who wants to come out alive, $9K is the number.
70 Jaguar E-Type -- this car has everything wrong going against it. The color is undesirable, the automatic is undesirable and the 2+2 is generally loathed. Think of it as a Steinway piano, but painted pink with 2 octaves missing and on three legs.
74 Bronco---that's a pretty darn cool rig. Probably worth asking price.
70 Nova 6 cyl ---- gee, they'll give anything a trophy these days.

The AMX says original and looks it, with surface rust on the bumpers, paint starting to bubble in spots, etc., I don't know if that makes it work $17K or not to be honest, as you'd probably want to redo everything. I wonder how many got a beige interior too?
The Cordoba seems pretty plain. Colors don't help.
The Nova reminded me of one locally that I saw every day for years and years, a 2-door that looked like this one only light green metallic with a vinyl roof. Driven by a little old lady, I stopped to admire it a few times and it was obviously driven very little. Eventually she sold it and I saw it around town for a short time, rapidly deteriorating. I haven't seen it in a while now.

In any other sport it wouldn't be an issue.
LeBron James isn't going to forget how to dunk, and Roger Federer won't suddenly lose his forehand smash. Michael Phelps isn't likely to sink to the bottom of the pool, either.
But this is golf, a game so mental it can sometimes seem impossible. And Rory McIlroy is in trouble.
Not with the PGA Tour, even though he walked off the course in the middle of his round Friday in the Honda Classic. Officials will surely take at face value McIlroy's belated excuse that he had a toothache, even if he was seen wolfing down a sandwich just minutes before calling it a day.
He seemed to be eating well the night before, too, sending out a picture on Twitter of a birthday dinner for his mother.
But the tooth it is, because it's harder to deal with the other issues that might be facing the No. 1 player in the world. McIlroy himself alluded to them while walking to his car, telling reporters that he's "not in a good place mentally."
Just why that is has raised speculation on both sides of the Atlantic. The leading candidate is that McIlroy hasn't yet figured out how to play with the new clubs he got in a multimillion dollar deal with Nike, though questions about his well-publicized relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki are never far behind.
Or maybe Tiger Woods just spoiled us all into believing it was easy to be No. 1.
Indeed, while Woods measures his greatness with major championship titles, his reign at the top of golf's standings may be the one record he holds that won't be broken. He's spent a total of 12 years as the No. 1 player in the world, including his last streak of 281 weeks that ended in October 2010.
He held it even when Phil Mickelson said he was playing inferior equipment, and reclaimed it after swing changes that no other player would even attempt. It took a car crash and the public outing of his private life to finally oust him from the top, but his lead was so big that he remained No. 1 for nearly a year after the rest of his world collapsed.
McIlroy's time as No. 1, by contrast, has been brief. He's been there on a weekly basis since winning the PGA Championship last year, with Woods now occupying the No. 2 slot.
But the game that seemed so effortless for McIlroy suddenly seems confounding to him. He was a whopping 7-over par through eight holes when he hit his second shot in the water and decided to look for the easy way out in Florida. And he hasn't played on a weekend yet this year.
Mental or dental? Take your pick, but the space between a golfer's ears can be a dark spot not so easily treated by a few aspirin.
To paraphrase Shakespeare, uneasy is the head that lies beneath the crown.
"When you start trying to prove things to other people and you stop playing for yourself, it's a dangerous place to be," said Graeme McDowell, McIlroy's friend and countryman.

What You'll Need:
- 2 ¼-yards of 54-inch wide red and white tulle
- 12-inch wire wreath form
- Blue star garland
- Marker
- Scissors
Make It: Cut 35 strips each of red and white tulle that measure about 6x15 inches. (We started with a 2 ¼-yard piece of 54-inch-wide tulle in each color.) Alternating colors every five lengths, knot the tulle strips around a 12-inch wire wreath form. Line up the knots so that they're even, then fluff the ends. Curl an 8-foot length of blue star garland by winding it around a marker. Tie the garland in two circles to the middle of the wreath with small pieces of tulle.

Santa is warming up his ho-ho-hos for a visit to the Weston Public Library, 87 School St.
The jolly old elf will be there from 4-6 p.m. Thursday. He's attending at the invitation of the Weston-Athena Lions Club. For more details, call 541-566-2378.
A wish Carl Walk first dreamed about at age 12 came to fruition recently. The 18-year-old earned his Eagle Scout rank and will be honored with a 7 p.m. Wednesday ceremony at the College Place Lions Club, 801 Larch St.
He's still working on another wish, to become a successful author, according to his parents, David and Crystal Walk.
Carl enlisted the assistance of fellow members of Boy Scout Troop 343 to earn scouting's highest award. He had to earn a minimum 21 merit badges, advance through five scout ranks and complete a major community service project.
He undertook the installation of a sound system in the Lions Community Building. "It was fun and a great learning experience," Carl said.
"Our Lions Club sponsors a Boy Scout troop and we often support Boy Scouts with their Eagle service projects," said Jerry Davis, Boy Scout Charter Organization representative and the Lions Club treasurer. We were happy to work with Carl on his project and to honor him with his Eagle Ceremony."
In all, 19 volunteers worked a total of 73 hours on the project. Carl's technical advisor for the installation was Bill Storms, technology services director at Walla Walla Community College. And Billy Stahlheber, service team leader at Doyle Electric, carried out the electrical work.
Boy Scouts Jason Ioala, Brendan Smith, Nicolai Morrison, Jaren Rudie, Christopher Pereyda, Brennan Barberich, Jeremy Marley and Timothy Rudie worked with speaker wire and installed ceiling speakers for the sound system's amplifier and distribution hub.
Scout leaders David Rudie, Steve Bushman, Eddie Pereyda and Preston Fredrickson joined Lions members Jerry Davis, Annette Rudie, David Nichols and Crystal and David in helping Carl and the Scouts complete the project.
Carl said, "The new sound system benefits the Lions Club and the community."
The Lions Community building is now a more attractive building for groups and events to use.
People and groups typically rent the building for family gatherings, events and club meetings.

Comics A.M. | Viz Media executives talk state of manga market
Publishing | Leyla Aker, Viz Media's vice present of publishing, and Kevin Hamric, its director of publishing sales and marketing, discuss the state of the manga market and how the company's books are selling through the print and digital channels (including comiXology, where Viz just signed on last month). One interesting tidbit: Viz products are carried by 64 percent of Diamond Comic Distributors' accounts (i.e., comic shops). "Some of the store owners just don't understand manga yet," Hamric said. "They're like librarians were years ago. They're afraid of it, but if it's children's and Pokemon, or has a tie-in, especially to anime or television, then they're not afraid to take it." [ICv2]

Looking back at Comic-Con International, by the numbers
With Comic-Con International 2014 a few day behind us, everyone has a chance to unpack, rest up and get ready for the next big convention (New York Comic Con is Oct. 9-12, by the way). But before we're completely finished with San Diego, let's take a look at some interesting numbers from the big event:
• Comic-Con International is by far the largest event on the San Diego Convention Center's 2014 calendar, with its 130,000 attendees, in the words of The New York Times, "far outstripping the combined total of its next four largest conventions, expected to be about 62,500 people." According to a convention center report (PDF), this year's installment was estimated to have a $177.8 million economic impact.
Comics A.M. | In San Diego, 'comics had a great convention'
Conventions | Image Comics content manager David Brothers explains why this year's Comic-Con International was a great convention, pointing out that there's a lot more to the event than movies and television, and there's a lot more to comics than the Big Two: "Marvel and DC are comics, just like the other publishers, and they make some great ones when they let the creators do their own thing. But at this point? You can't treat them like the entirety of the comics industry, or even two companies that can dictate the future of comics. They run the movies, and that's cool, but running comics? It's just not true any more. Image in particular outsells Marvel in the book market as far as trade paperbacks go, and that holds true in the comics market lately, too. That's no coincidence. People enjoy Marvel and DC, but they want more than Marvel and DC." [io9.com]
Merchandise and GN sales up, comics down, Diamond reports
Total sales to the direct market increased 3.8 percent in the first half of the year, Diamond Comic Distributors announced during its annual retailer luncheon at Comic-Con International.
Merchandise — toys, apparel, posters, etc. — was the strongest category, climbing 10.4 percent over the same period in 2013, while graphic novels inch upward 2.9 percent. Sales of comics slipped 1.4 percent. In a statement, Chris Powell, Diamond's vice president of retailer services, framed the performances of the comics and graphic novel categories as "level compared to last year, but [they] are still 12 percent above 2012 sales figures."
Comics A.M. | Police accused of pre-SDCC homeless crackdown
Conventions | An advocate for the homeless claims San Diego police are harassing homeless people to keep them away from downtown during Comic-Con International. The mayor and police chief deny the accusation and say officers are simply doing outreach, but at least one homeless man has been given a "stay away" order. Comic-Con begins Wednesday with Preview Night. [ABC 10 News]
Digital comics | Following the news that the comics market was estimated at $850 million in 2013, of which $90 million was digital, George Gene Gustines looks at a couple of different digital models, including Thrillbent's new subscription service and Panel Syndicate, Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin's name-your-own-price approach. [The New York Times]
After #FireRickRemender, can we have a real conversation?
Superhero comics deal in extremes: Characters overreact, the world is in constant jeopardy, and the solution almost always involves physical combat. So maybe I shouldn't have been surprised when the #FireRickRemender fiasco erupted. There was no conversation. Instead, people hurled accusations and argued over whether a writer should keep his job, while others mocked the whole thing. The rest of us silently watched from the sidelines, and that was pretty much it: That was how comics professionals, fans and industry observers handled a three-page scene from Captain America #22.
I guess I should be happy that people are so passionate about these stories and the creators behind them. If we were all so blasé and detached, sales would probably not just be flat so far this year, they'd be in the gutters. Yet I can't help but feel disappointed, because I know we can do better than this.
'Quantum and Woody,' 'Hawkeye' and 'Saga' lead Harvey ballot
Quantum and Woody leads the final ballot for the 2014 Harvey Awards with nominations in six categories, including best new series, edging out Hawkeye with five and Saga with four. Quantum and Woody's James Asmus also received nods for best writer, most promising new talent and the special award for humor.
Named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman, the cartoonist and founding editor of MAD magazine, the awards are selected entirely by creators. Online voting is open now through Aug. 18. The winners will be presented Sept. 6 in a ceremony held in conjunction with Baltimore Comic-Con.
The full list of nominees can be found below:
Best Writer
James Asmus, QUANTUM AND WOODY, Valiant Entertainment
Matt Fraction, HAWKEYE, Marvel Comics
Matt Kindt, MIND MGMT, Dark Horse Comics
Brian K. Vaughan, SAGA, Image Comics
Mark Waid, DAREDEVIL, Marvel Comics
True Believers Comic Awards announce 2014 winners
Hawkeye and its writer Matt Fraction and Saga and its artist Fiona Staples led the inaugural True Believers Comic Awards, winning in a combined 10 categories. Hawkeye colorist Matt Hollingsworth also won in his division.
Presented Saturday in conjunction with London Film and Comic Con, the True Believers Comic Awards are a successor to the long-running Eagle Awards. Established by Eagle co-founder Mike Conroy and his daughter Cassandra, the awards were selected through online nominations and voting.
IDW Publishing was voted Best Publisher, while Gail Simone was named to the Roll of Honor. Comic Book Resources was selected as Favorite Comics-Related Website. The full list of winners can be found below in bold.
Gail Simone launches Comics Survival Kit on Tumblr
Writer Gail Simone launched a new blog, Comics Survival Kit, that promises to be a source of useful, practical information for creators.
"Like all comics pros, I am asked all the time for advice on how to become a pro, and how to maintain that position once you have attained it," she writes in the introductory post. "It is a huge question, even if we knew the answers, it would be a lot to process!" So she is presenting information in small, tightly focused posts and drawing on her many friends in the industry, including Kelly Sue DeConnick, Greg Pak, and Jim Zubkavich, for their advice as well.
Simone is a pretty good resource herself; she has written more than 400 comics, and her credits include Birds of Prey, Secret Six and Red Sonja. What sets this Tumblr apart from other creators' is its exclusive focus on information and advice; what sets it apart from other creator-information sites is the high profile of the owner and the contributors.
The Tumblr already has a collection of interesting posts, including Red Sonja editor Molly Mahan on what editors want to see in an artist's portfolio, Third Eye Comics owner Steve Anderson on communicating with retailers and Paul Allor (Orc Girl) on the perils of self-publishing.
SDCC | Highlights of the Sunday programming schedule
For its final day, Comic-Con International is keeping the focus on the kids. Today, the biggest con on the calendar revealed its Sunday programming slate, and the traditional kids day of the show lived up to its name.
Publishers will roll out their best all-ages offerings in panels like Oni Press' Monsterpalooza and IDW's Kids Comics spotlight. But so much of the action of the day centers around the creators who will be appearing on a multitude of kid-centric programming including Raina Telgemeier, Jenni Holm, Kazu Kibuishi, Dave Roman, Sonny Liew and Gene Luen Yang. Even the media portion of the con is getting in on the action with a special presentation on the documentary about San Francisco's famed Batkid.
On the traditional convention front, fans can pop in for the annual Jack Kirby Tribute panel or check the latest offerings form publishers like Dynamite Entertainment, Image Comics, Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment and more
Creator-wise there are spotlights on the likes of Chuck Dixon, Jim Rugg, Jim Lee, Graham Nolan, Marc Guggenheim, Kelley Jones and more.
Check out the comics-related highlights below, and pop over to Comic-Con's website for the full schedule.
SDCC | Highlights of the Saturday programming schedule
Though the show has stretched far beyond the traditional weekend confines, Comic-Con International's biggest day remains Saturday. And that was proven true today with the release of Saturday programming for the impending pop culture monolith.
The day comes crammed with every conceivable kind of panel. On the traditional comics publishing front, DC and Marvel both continue their weekend rollouts with a Batman: 75th Anniversary assembly, the traditional Cup O' Joe Q&A and more. Meanwhile, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get their own anniversary panel to celebrate 30 years while current Turtles publisher IDW keep in step with three panels including a spotlight on Locke & Key creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. BOOM! Studios, Oni Press and Lion Forge round out the more pop culture oriented indies with their own panels while the alt comics world is well covered with spotlights on Drawn And Quarterly, Fantagraphics and Abrams ComicArts.
On the media side, Marvel Studios captures its traditional Saturday night spot in Hall H (where we'd wager and Avengers reunion is on tap) while earlier in the day, Warner Bros. brings a look at Mad Max, The Hobbit and the latest Wachowskis film (though curiously absent from the official list is any presentation on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). The media offerings also have a particular "Saturday Morning Cartoons" feel with spotlights on kids fare like Phineas & Ferb,Regular Show and Steven Universe.
Creator-wise, there's a broad selection of comics talents on hand including Don Rosa, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Drew Friedman, Berkeley Breathed, Jim Steranko, Lucy Knisley, Mimi Pond, J. Micahel Straczynski and Saga creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples.
Check out the comics-related highlights below, and pop over to Comic-Con's website for the full schedule.
SDCC | Highlights of the Friday programming schedule
Comic-Con International organizers have rolled out the programming schedule for Friday, July 25, the second full day of the show.
And what a full day it is, with comics adaptations like AMC's The Walking Dead, The CW's Arrow and iZombie, and ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter all taking the stage. However, that's not to say actual comic books are being slighted: There are panels devoted to Image Comics, DC Comics' Batman, The Multiversity and more, Marvel's Spider-Verse and The Avengers, Top Shelf Productions, IDW Publishing's 15th anniversary and its Hasbro titles, Milestone at 21, gender in comics, LGBT comics for young readers and the (gulp) 30th anniversary of Power Pack.
Plenty of creators step into the spotlight, too, with panels dedicated to the likes of Neal Adams, Mark Brooks, Francesco Francavilla, Jae Lee, Mike Mignola, Terry Moore, Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan. To top it all off, there's the Eisner Awards ceremony.
Check out some of the comics-related highlights below, and visit the Comic-Con website for the full schedule.
Comics A.M. | Digital sales grew to $90 million in 2013
Digital comics | ICv2 estimates the size of the digital comics market at $90 million in 2013, not counting subscription services such as Marvel Unlimited or Crunchyroll — so presumably the tally is limited to single-issue sales. It's also not clear whether the number includes comics sold on eBook platforms such as Kindle or just those sold through specialty channels such as comiXology or as direct downloads. The $90 million number represents a 29 percent increase over 2012 numbers. [ICv2]
Creators | As the first issue of his new series The Life After is released, writer Joshua Hale Fialkov talks about why he prefers creator-owned work: "I want to treat every book I do as though it's 100% owned by me, because, at the end of the day, nobody is blaming an editor if that book sucks. They're blaming me. Even if the art is sub-par, I take the blame for that. So, for my money, being thorny and vocal to get work I'm proud of is worth it, no matter what doors it shuts, because, as the saying goes, nothing shuts doors and costs you audience faster than producing junk." And, he says, he is making as much money doing creator-owned comics as the corporate ones. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Comics A.M. | 'Blondie' artist Frank Cummings passes away
Passings | Frank Cummings, an artist for the comic strip Blondie, has died at age 55, according to a posting on Blondie.com. No cause of death is given, but this obituary (in Italian) states he had a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Cummings started his career as a commercial artist and self-published his own satire magazine, JAB. Later on he illustrated the newsletter of diet and exercise guru Richard Simmons and did movie parodies for Cracked. He joined Blondie in 2004 as an assistant to head artist John Marshall. [The Daily Cartoonist]
Publishing | Former DC Comics President and Publisher Paul Levitz has debuted an "occasional" column on the retail news and analysis site ICv2. [ICv2.com]
SDCC | Hall map and exhibitor lists released
In case today's date isn't indication enough that Comic-Con International is rapidly drawing closer — it's July 1 already! — here's an unmistakable sign: Organizers have released this year's exhibit hall map and exhibitor list.
The exhibition floor map can be viewed as an Issuu document or PDF, while the exhibitor, artists alley, small press and fan tables lists can be found on the convention website.
