It’s an S30! Well, most don’t know this car as an S30, they know it by its more common moniker of Datsun 240Z. And in the early ’70s, the 240Z was everywhere; it was the mass-produced go-to two-seat sports… more»

Worth Fixing? 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396

In the early ’70’s I bought a ’67 SS396 Chevelle for $975. It had low mileage and was in great condition but it was just considered an old, used car at that point. I kept it for several years… more»

Lots Of Possibilities: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

It seems that first-gen Camaros turn up as either fully restored trailer queens or piles of cinders that are usually promoted to be something way beyond what they actually are. But here’s a different twist, a ’68 Camaro Sports… more»

It’s A CamperCar! 2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71

OK, so we get a lot of heat down here in Florida (no pun intended) for some of the strange goings-on that occur, like planet-sized sink-holes, gargantuan alligators with an attitude, election shenanigans and all other kinds of weirdness…. more»

Tri-Power Perfect! 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix

Large and in charge, that’s how “Wide-Track” Pontiac performance in the ’60s was described before the late ’63 introduction of the scene-stealing GTO. Pontiacs of that era were big but they were fast too due to their well designed… more»

Stored for 45 Years: 1937 Chevrolet Business Coupe

I’m developing a “thing” for pre-war cars and I never had such a proclivity until I started reviewing Barn Finds each day. It’s not the hot-rodded versions that attract my attention so much, it’s the originals, or maybe those… more»

396/4-Speed! 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS

There was a time in the ’60s and ’70s when you couldn’t have pitched a horseshoe without hitting a Chevrolet Impala. They were everywhere! Part of the reason for the Impala’s tremendous sales success was the fact that it… more»

Extra Frame Included! 1966 Triumph TR4A

Every time I think maybe we need some additional, affordable two-seat sports cars like we used to have back in the ’60s I think about MG’s, Austin Healeys, Sunbeams and Triumphs. And then I reconsider it and think well… more»

454 Power! 1974 GMC Sierra 2500 Pickup

I’ll admit that I don’t follow full-size pickup trucks closely, especially new ones. I have watched values on older versions rise over the last several years and they have a devoted following. I think one of those reasons may… more»

Four Wheel Drive Barn Find: 1979 GMC Jimmy

When I first heard that the Chevrolet Blazer was being reintroduced, I had high hopes for some vestige or linkage to the past and I don’t mean to the GMT 360 TrailBlazer of the early 2000s. I was thinking… more»

50 Years In The Barn: 1950 Ford Convertible

A week ago, we took a look at a ’49 Ford Tudor, the ’49 being the car that moved Ford forward from its prewar designs and launched it into contemporary automotive times. Continuing in that vein, today we have… more»

Indy 500 Pace Car: 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am

When I think of the Pontiac Trans Am, my mind usually goes to the late ’70s, somewhat underpowered versions with screaming chickens on their hoods. There is a certain movie from 1977 that has helped to reinforce that image… more»

Southwestern Survivor: 1965 Ford Falcon Futura

When I was in college, the student center had a vending area with microwave ovens. They were still a pretty new concept and there was a sign posted above them that read,” Persons with pacemakers, stay clear of this… more»

Windsor Powered! 1954 Mercury Monterey “Sun Valley”

Mercury has been gone from the American automobile landscape for about ten years now. At one time it was truly a unique brand under the Ford umbrella but over time it slowly lost its identification and became just another… more»

Lots Of Potential? 1967 Dodge Dart

I was always a Chevy guy growing up but paid grudgingly admiration to Mopar because of their power and the select styling on some of their models. And one of my all-time favorite models is the ’67 to ’69… more»
