For a model that only managed a production volume of about 1,200 copies, we encounter 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safaris more often than one might expect. A me-too version of Chevrolet’s Nomad, the Safari never seemed to have… more»

Super Spectacular: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396
I was on the fence as to whether I should cover this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396. I’m not really a muscle car fan and have been as outspoken as any about the insane price heights these cars, and others… more»

Golden Project? 1975 Plymouth Duster 360

4-Speed Project: 1968 Pontiac LeMans
It’s probably debatable, but this listing is more like 3/4 of a 1968 Pontiac LeMans for sale. There’s no hiding it, the front clip is missing. There are a few other issues with which to contend too. But that… more»

Some TLC Needed: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle
It is said that a rising tide lifts all boats. That metaphor can certainly be applied to certain old cars too. While the value of Chevrolet’s 1960s vintage SS396 Chevelle has gone through the proverbial roof, those that don’t… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1936 Ford Tudor
I got pretty excited when I first spied this 1936 Ford Tudor. The seller considers it a survivor and looking at the images, I initially agreed. Digging in further, however, I hesitated on that description and I will show… more»

Clean As A Whistle! 1982 Chevrolet El Camino
I’m on the fence with the final El Camino generation, such as this 1982 example. I’m a Camino fan but most of my fandom has to do with gen-3 (’68-’72). Gen-4 is in fuggedaboutit territory but gen-5? Depends, good… more»

400 V8 Powered! 1968 Buick Sportwagon
Buick was an on-again/off-again builder of station wagons but they tried to keep things interesting with models like this 1968 Custom “Sportwagon”. The seller suggests, “The wagon you’ve been waiting for“. Well, I don’t know about that, let’s see… more»

Inexpensive Project? 1966 Dodge Coronet 500
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»

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»
