Project In Waiting: 1953 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery

Shed Find: 1969 Dodge Coronet Deluxe

Not an R/T! Not a Super Bee! It’s just a plain-jane 1969 Dodge Coronet, specifically, a Deluxe coupe, which we were advised via the ’69 Dodge sales brochure was “the lowest price Coronet for 1969″. Whether it would be… more»

No Reserve 27K Mile 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi

I always wanted one of these! Exactly why, I’m not sure, perhaps it’s the typical flashy red finish, the unmistakable Ferrari growl, the chrome shifter gate, the unique star wheels, and the inimitable Ferarri panache that just meshes perfectly…. more»

Only 11K Miles! 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic

I’ll admit it, I’ve owned a bunch of full-size Chevies, models that are technically known as B-Bodies. I’m really not sure why, it probably has something to do with their ubiquitousness – they were everywhere at one time. And,… more»
