Matching Numbers? 1970 Buick GS 455

I have often opined on the success and popularity of GM’s A-body cars from ’68 to ’72.  While the current marketplace prices for the performance versions (SS396, GTO, 442, and GS) are stratospheric, even the bread-and-butter models (Malibu, LeMans,… more»

Great Restoration Project: 1970 Ford Bronco V8

And now for something from the “I don’t get it department.” As I’m sure most know, Ford revived its iconic Bronco in 2021 – it’s another example of a modern take on a classic. They seem to sell well… more»

Beautiful In Blue: 1968 Dodge Dart GTS

I’ve had a “thing” for this vintage Dodge Dart for a long time. The fact that it’s a convertible just adds to its allure. This one’s a top-drawer 1968 GTS performance model and boy oh boy, it sure looks… more»

Fastback Project: 1968 Ford Mustang GT

It’s amazing what a feature run on the silver screen can do for a car. Pontiac felt the full effect of that action back in ’77 with Smokey and the Bear Bandit- after release, those black Trans Ams started… more»

The Ultimate Throwback? 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

Oh boy, this is an unusual one. Let’s face it, we’ve covered innumerable 1967 Chevrolet Camaros so it might be logical to suggest, “Why cover another?” Well, as Camaros go, the first gen ’67-’69, is my favorite, no doubt… more»

Joe Bailon Custom: 1965 Chevrolet Impala

And now for something from the “What in the Sam Hill happened here” department, a heavily customized 1965 Chevrolet Impala. Before and after images are always helpful in following a car’s progression but in this case, it’s the reverse… more»

Goes But Doesn’t Stop: 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Yup, this one’s a project. The seller tells us that this 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass two-door hardtop was barn-bound until last November. It starts and drives but does not stop—”zero brakes, zero,” he tells us. It’s looking rough around the… more»

1963 Pontiac Grand Prix 4-Speed Barn Find

I’ll cut to the chase: This 1963 Pontic Grand Prix is a great find, but it’s not presented all that well, so I’ll have to talk through the listing. Barn-bound in Manchester, Maryland, this GP seems to be “all… more»

C3 Finale: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette

Man, what a run! Fifteen years for the C3 Corvette and this 1982 Collector’s Edition is the swan song. Much changed from the inaugural 1968 version? You bet! The basics were still there and the unmistakeable Mako-Shark lines were… more»

An Environmental Choice? 1984 Mercedes 300 TD

I have to admit that I’ve never considered a big Mercedes-Benz sedan, diesel equipped or not, an “environmental choice,” but that’s the seller’s suggestion regarding this 1984 300 TD. What I do know is that these are well-engineered and… more»

Pininfarina Perfect: 1988 Cadillac Allante

Here’s one we hardly ever cover, a Cadillac Allante such as this 1988 example. As a matter of fact, we’ve only covered two and the last review was over six years ago – time to rectify that situation with… more»

Full Size Performer? 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

Before the advent of intermediates and Pony cars, full-sizers were how America rolled. Hopping them up, despite their size, was part of car culture. I enjoyed these big cars years ago, and still do today – and that’s the… more»

America’s Favorite: 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

While not stated specifically, this 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass appears to be the very common Supreme variant, one of only 186K knocked out by GM’s mid-tier division in the Bicentennial year of 1976 – that’s a huge number! The seller… more»

Great Resto Start? 1963 Ford Thunderbird

For years, Ford’s luxury coupe, the Thunderbird, garnered respect merely by mention of its name. By the time this 1963 subject came along, the T-bird was ending its third generation and the evolution from its original two-seater configuration was… more»

GTOAA National Award Winner: 1971 Pontiac GTO

What a difference a year can make! The apex of the muscle car movement occurred in ’70 but things started to unravel in ’71. The combination of performance car insurance premium surcharges and the Clean Air Act conspired to… more»

Winter Project II: 1954 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Check out the dagmars on this one! They’re standard equipment on a 1954 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and others produced by the “Standard of the World.” Today’s Windham, New Hampshire find, courtesy of Bruce M., is said to run and… more»
