Period Correct Lead Sled! 1950 Mercury Coupe

“Where were you in ’62?” as the tagline for 1973’s film American Grafitti asked. Well, I was hardly a Pharoah or in a car club, and not nearly old enough to drive. But I do remember slammed Mercury’s from… more»

Another California Barn Find! 1958 Cadillac Series 62

And now for another entry from Crusty Cadillacs (and no, this is not the same ’58 that my colleague Ron Denny featured on 7/27). Yesterday, we covered this dilapidated ’62 Caddy Series 62 convertible, and today, it’s a ’58… more»

14K Mile Convertible! 1995 Chevrolet Corvette

I was on the fence with the earliest C4 (1984-1996) Corvettes. While a noted technical improvement over the late C3’s (1968-1982), the styling left me high and dry. That is until about 1990 when the visuals started to pull… more»

16k Mile Fire Dept Truck? 1974 Dodge Power Wagon

It has taken me a long time to get used to calling a Dodge pickup truck a “Ram”. The name has been associated with Dodge trucks for years but referred to in make and model naming convention as Dodge… more»

327/4-Speed Project: 1965 Chevrolet El Camino

Instead of finding either a wreck in deleterious condition or a fully restored trailer queen or a pristine survivor, today’s find is none of those. It is a desirable 1965 Chevrolet El Camino that is on its way to… more»

Series 62 Barn Find: 1962 Cadillac Convertible

The listing for this 1962 Cadillac Series 62 convertible opens up with, “One of the most beautiful convertibles Cadillac ever produced“. Being a visual person, it’s hard to see that vision under all of the dirt but let’s not… more»

440 4-Speed? 1972 Plymouth Road Runner

I covered this car about a year and a half ago, and since that time, it has moved outdoors and the price has been raised $4,000, hmmm… OK, let’s look again. The devil is always in the details and… more»

Matching Numbers? 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396

Yes, that does sound a bit disingenuous but it is a true statement. It is a bit like this cagey business contact that I used to have. He would never lie, he just didn’t tell you the entire story…. more»

327-350 HP! 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Garage Find

No Reserve 4X4! 1973 International Harvester Scout II

Along with both versions of the Jeep Cherokee, International covered the nascent SUV market pretty early on with the Scout (1961-1980) like this 1973 example. What caught my attention in this case, is this vehicle’s condition. Most Scouts that… more»

Rare Tin Top! 1972 Volkswagen Camper

What initially caught my attention with this 1972 VW Camper is its exceptionally clean condition and the fact that it’s a “tin-top” with a non flip-up roof. Values on VW campers have been ascendant for some time now, so… more»

Long Term Garage Dweller: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

Usually, when a project car is discovered, both the project and its environs, are less than optimal. That’s not exactly the case here as this ’68 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, which is hardly in an operational condition but is in… more»

Field Find: 1972 Buick Riviera 455

You know a Buick Riviera when you see one, at least a member from its first three generations. Those were designs that were considered among GM head stylist, Bill Mitchell’s, best. They were special cars and it’s disheartening to… more»
