Formula Racer With History: 1954 DB Monomill

Needs A New Family: 1960 Chrysler New Yorker

Reengined 4-Speed: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Back in the ’70s, it was an oft-told tale. Lots of used SS396 Chevrolet Chevelles for sale but quite a few were now 396-less. The big engines just got pushed a little too hard and kablooey ensues. Slap in… more»

Chevrolet built a lot of Impalas in ’63 but the fact that this one is an SS convertible does make it more interesting. It may have seen better days but… it could still be salvageable so let’s take a… more»

Two Seater Spectacular: 1969 AMC AMX

Traditionally, I wasn’t much of an AMC fan. I think it was the Rambler or Nash association or something similar. Whatever the case, I have reevaluated both AMC’s Javelin and AMX, the ’68-’70 vintage in particular. In a world… more»

Elvis Presley Parade Car: 1961 Lincoln Continental

I have never seen an Engel vintage Lincoln Continental, such as this 1961 example, wearing that shade of yellow. But sure enough, it’s Sunburst Yellow, a genuine ’61 Lincoln color. It just doesn’t seem to be in keeping with… more»

Fantastic Front Wheel Drive! 1967 Cadillac Eldorado

Dare I say the first iteration is usually the best? As with movies (The Godfather; Star Wars – a New Hope), the first stab is, subjectively, the best. It can be the same with certain automobiles, such as in the… more»

429 Cobra Project: 1970 Ford Torino

While I am on a Ford Torino thing, I thought it would be interesting to see the comparison between this recently featured 1968 example and this 1970 Cobra version that turned up on our tip list. Definitely a project… more»

SS 427! 1968 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe

When is a Chevrolet Impala SS not an Impala SS? When it’s an SS 427 variant. Colloquially known as an Impala SS 427, there isn’t an Impala nameplate on this big 1968 Chevrolet muscle car – more on that… more»

No Reserve: 1976 Plymouth Road Runner

OK, I’ll admit it, this 1976 Plymouth is a Road Runner, but it’s far from the version that I fondly recall, and it’s more a performance car in name only. Then again, the ’70s were a trying time automotively… more»

Triple Carburetors! 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

Man, if you had a Cadillac Eldorado Brougham in 1958, you were stylin’! No more beans for breakfast, you were up there in the rarified air with the Monopoly Man. Regardless of its one-time exalted position, this particular Eldorado… more»

Copart Cuda: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

What da hey? A Mopar collectible that is available at Copart? How’d that happen? Admittedly, our subject car is a 1970 Barracuda, not a performance-oriented ‘Cuda. Still, even a generic ’70 Barracuda still has mojo in the old car… more»

Barn Bound 25 Years: 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

We frequently feature 1966 Chevrolet Impala on Barn Finds. And why not, there were only about 775K built that year. And 38K of those were convertibles such as this Grants Pass, Oregon resident. Listed as grandpa’s car (but whose… more»

351-4V Cobra Jet! 1972 Ford Ranchero 500

Full disclosure, Ford Rancheros, such as this 1972 example, don’t capture my imagination the way that Chevy’s El Camino does. That said,  I took one look at this Cottageville, South Carolina domiciled 1972 Ranchero and thought Hmmm, I like… more»
