Frame Off Redo: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette 454
Earlier in the week I covered this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette and tried to sing its praises – particularly as they compare to earlier C3s, such as this 1971 example. From a market and collectibility perspective, it seems that steel… more»
Hot Rod Rocket? 1950 Oldsmobile 88

Dark Moss Green? 1967 Ford Mustang GTA
I don’t think that I get this entire “youse-ta-bee” thing. The seller of this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA states, “Very desirable dark moss green“. Well maybe it used to be at one time but it is no more. I’m… more»
Square Steering Wheel? 1964 Chrysler 300

Museum Exhibit! 1970 Triumph GT6

Still In The Family: 1965 Chevrolet C-10
Even though the first generation of Chevrolet’s C series pickup trucks (’60-’66) hasn’t reached the collectibility heights that the second-gen (’67-’72) “Action Line” variety has attained, they’re still popular. And today’s find, a 1965 C-10 is about as original… more»
Big Modifications! 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
The market prices of ’68-’72 GM A-Body cars have reached, and stayed, in nutso territory. And it doesn’t have to be a popular muscle car variant, the ordinary bread-and-butter versions have stepped into the fray too. And it’s those… more»
Survivor XJ! 1993 Jeep Cherokee 4X4
This 1993 Jeep Cherokee XJ takes me back! I had a long-time run (twenty-six years!) with a 1991 Cherokee and it’s still one of my more memorable rides. I don’t encounter them often anymore (they went out of production… more»
End Of The Road: 1974 Chevrolet 454 Corvette

Taking Reasonable Offers: 1978 MG “B”
So, a 1978 rubber bumpered MGB, finished in brown and available at a “make an offer” price. Hmmm, I thought, at first, that I should title this post “Three strikes and you’re out” but that would be really snarky… more»
Field Find: 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix 455 – J
Starting with the 1971 model, we witnessed what was really just a facelift to the uber-successful third-gen Pontiac Grand Prix. It was downsized in ’69 (’70 was mostly a ’69 rerun), and to my eyes, Pontiac did the update… more»
Rare Muscle Truck: 1971 Ford Ranchero GT 429 CJ
