Mopar Power! 1964 Bristol 408

Bristol! Now there’s an iconic British brand if ever there was one. Started in 1945, and liquidated in 2020, Bristol built many fine luxury cars such as this 1964 model 408. It was a limited production model and they… more»

Worth Fixing? 1969 Bentley T1 Project

A Bentley, such as this 1969 T1 is one of the most exalted and admired British luxury cars of all time. I have always appreciated them more than the corresponding Rolls Royce, in spite of their similarity. Regardless, no… more»

Powered By Mr. Big: 1972 Ford Ranchero GT

Normally, I wouldn’t show a lot of interest in a generic looking 1972 Ford Ranchero GT. It seems that the styling, at least compared to the ’70-’71 version is polarizing, some love it but many don’t. Regardless, I’m always… more»

Needs Finishing: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS350

What to make of Chevrolet’s Camaro. It endured a continuous run from 1967 through 2002. It made a return in 2009 as a 2010 model and wearing a retro-styled ’69 theme. At the end of this year, 2023, it’s… more»

360 V8! First Year 1964 Plymouth Barracuda

Last week I opined about the definition of a “pony car”. Traditionally, and I didn’t think it up – I just echo the established definition that I have seen so many times before, it’s a long hood, short deck,… more»

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»

It’s Super! 1954 Buick Riviera Hardtop

What a difference only three years make! Last week I covered this 1957 Buick Century and today it’s a 1954 Buick Super “Riviera”. This Super, like the ’57 Century, is in magnificent condition, and the Willow Green finish just… 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»

One Of Only 764! 1982 Lancia Zagato

The last time I saw a Lancia Zagato, such as this 1982 example was probably in 1982! Lancia, a once proud marque, known for its sporting character, has all but disappeared from global automotivedom. Based on the Lancia Beta… more»

New Interior? 1966 Plymouth VIP Barn Find

There’s a lot of monkey see-monkey do in the car biz. Take the big three and their topline models, Ford started it with the ’65 introduction of the LTD and Chevy was hot on their trail at mid-year with… 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»

No Reserve: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am “Bandit”

Yes, another “Bandit” Trans Am, this time a 1979 example. There seems to be no shortage of these but their popularity has come into its own over the last several years. Being a ’79, this is the first year… 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»
