With 223″ of overall length, riding on a 126″ wheelbase, and tipping the scales at over 4,200 lbs., I would deem this 1966 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight convertible a “Whammer-jammer”. It’s existentially big, and even bigger visually. The seller refers to… more»

Exceptionally Clean! 1977 Chevrolet Nova

Back in the day, I almost bought a new version of this car, a 1977 Chevrolet Nova. I don’t know why; the “almost” being the “close but no cigar” event. Instead, I ended up with a ’77 Z28, and… more»

4-Speed Equipped! 1968 Plymouth Barracuda

I may be one of the few who actually prefers the second-gen (’67-’69) Plymouth Barracuda over the third (’70-’74). And it’s the convertible and notchback body styles, such as this 1968 resident of Waconia, Minnesota, that float my boat!… more»

Full-Size Fun: 1967 Plymouth 383 Sport Fury

Dusty Desert Find: 1972 Plymouth Duster

The listing for this 1972 Plymouth Duster opens with, “Up for bid is this special 1972 Plymouth Duster. It’s kind of a time warp…” On first blush, I don’t see the time warp, and can’t really determine what’s “special”… more»
