360 V8! First Year 1964 Plymouth Barracuda

413/3-Speed Manual! 1963 Chrysler 300J
The seller of this 1963 Chrysler 300J tells us that it “needs to be finished” but actually it looks more like it needs to be started. But, it’s a project and it is a heck of a start –… more»

First Year Convertible: 1963 Plymouth Valiant
I’ll admit that I haven’t given a lot of thought to Plymouth’s compact Valiant. The initial generation, ’60-’62 has an awkward bearing to my eyes but things improved with gen-two (’63-’66). And, a convertible, such as this Los Angeles… more»

Rare Drop-Top: 1971 Dodge Challenger
I decided to review this 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible for two reasons. First, it’s a non-muscle version of a Mopar muscle car, the type that is often ignored because of its more commonplace bearing. And second, because it’s a… more»

1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer With 36K Miles
Optimism! That’s the one word that I would use to describe this 1957 Dodge Royal Lancer hardtop. Actually, many domestic marques expressed a similar outlook – an unbridled existence, free of government interference/regulation with all of the emission control… more»

Fabulous Mid-Century Century: 1957 Buick
This! This is what a Buick was all about, so many years ago. I don’t know what Buick really makes today or why they’re even still in existence. To my eyes, most of their models, today, look like pigs,… more»

Hugger Orange 1970 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4X4
Yes, it’s pretty cool I must admit! A second-year, 1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4, decked out in Hugger Orange, a hue more appropriate for a Camaro, makes quite a visual statement. This example has undergone some mechanical improvements so… more»

A Rebuilt Business: 1938 Plymouth Coupe
