OK, it’s a muscle car body without the muscle! Or at least that’s how it presents itself with the blacked-out hood. Actually, the 1966 Dodge Coronet could pack a punch, if so optioned, and had great lines to accentuate… more»

OK, let’s momentarily ditch the sugary diet of GTOs, Mustangs, Chargers, et al. and take a look at what I would consider to be a quirky car, but one that had some spirited moves, a 1974 Saab EMS. OK,… more»

Reduced Price: 1928 Chevrolet National Pickup
This 1928 Chevrolet one-ton, pickup truck struck me as interesting. Being a ’28 would make this a one-year-only AB National model, but I don’t recall encountering a one-ton version; prior discoveries have been of lighter capacity examples. Claimed as… more»

Rare Last Year Zephyr: 1942 Lincoln Coupe
Now we’re talkin’ rare! Most 1942 model year domestic cars, regardless of marque, are rare as a result of WWII and the resulting abbreviated production schedule. In most cases, auto assembly ceased in January or February of that year… more»

27K Original Miles? 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Well, it’s brown but it’s 1973 too and both go hand in hand. But it’s also a second-gen (’73-’77) Chevrolet Monte Carlo and they don’t get a lot of coverage, at least not to the extent that the first-gen… more»

Monzilla! 1979 Chevrolet Monza 4X4
And now it’s time for something from the “just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should” department. I guess it’s a metamorphosis of sorts for a generally unliked, and unwanted malaise-era Chevy Monza with a bodacious attempt to… more»

Blue Chip Investment? 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Or so it seems when one finds an inaugural year example of designer Elwood Engel’s fabulous 1961 Lincoln Continental in such deplorable shape. Well, at least it’s still with us and hasn’t been… more»

421 Tri-Power 4-Speed! 1966 Pontiac Ventura
Talk about Pontiac in 1966 and most enthusiasts glam on to the GTO, but the Tin Indian division was so much more so in that halcyon year. The big cars, like this 1966 Ventura hardtop, just oozed power, luxury,… more»

350 HP 327! 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle L79
All eyes were on Pontiac’s GTO in 1965 but Chevrolet wasn’t about to roll over and let John DeLorean’s division make off with all of the hot-rod fun. In typical fashion, Chevrolet chose to do battle with a new… more»

Garaged 30 Years: 1962 Triumph TR3B
Triumph TR3s are no stranger to Barn Finds but they are to me as I have covered 4s, 6s, and 7s but I don’t believe that I have eyeballed a 3. This 1962 example is referenced as a garage… more»

Rare Color? No Reserve 1970 Chevrolet Corvette
The seller of this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette considers it to be rare due to its Laguna Gray color. Apparently of the 17,316 ‘Vettes produced that year, 1,300, or 7.5% were so finished. So, rare? Depends on one’s definition of… more»

Original And Complete! 1974 Triumph TR6
Along with the Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger, the TR6 is one of my favorite sportscars. We’re talking just skin deep here because I’m only considering the design and appearance. Yeah, I know, pretty weak for a car guy but like many,… more»

No Reserve Real Deal: 1969 Pontiac GTO
In considering all of the participants of the second generation (’68-’72) Pontiac GTO I’d have to save my favorite is the ’69 edition such as our subject car. Why? Like most things that involve styling it’s subjective, maybe a… more»

Highly Original: 1937 Chevrolet Master Business Coupe
A business coupe is one of those bygone auto designs, like two-door station wagons, that are unlikely to ever make a comeback. A curious find these days, those unfamiliar with the concept probably wonder what the lack of a… more»

Estate Sale Survivor: 1960 Lancia Appia
Usually, when one bandies about the “Survivor” term it’s in reference to a sparingly used domestic model of some esteem. But a survivor Lancia? Well, why not, the title shouldn’t know a specific auto nationality and that’s the case… more»

400 Tri-Power?1968 Pontiac Firebird
I’m probably more familiar with Chevrolets than I am with Pontiacs but I genuinely prefer first-gen Firebirds to Camaros for the simple fact that there are many fewer encountered. Sometimes it seems that there are more first-gen Camaros in… more»
