8k Mile 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula Update

What possesses a person to drive a car or truck very little? Is it the fear of wrecking the car? Or the fear of the car depreciating in value? Was there some sort of event that influenced the vehicle’s low… more»

Lightning Rods: 1983 Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary

I’ve always thought that GM’s G-bodies from the late 1970s and 1980s were cool, especially in coupe form. When you throw in a couple of special features and some muscle car magic, these cars become more appealing. Though this Hurst/Olds… more»

Clean Cruiser: 1991 Ford Crown Victoria Survivor

There is nothing I love more than a beautiful classic car that has been lovingly restored, modified, or has survived the test of time. I am more than partial to ’60s and ’70s American muscle cars, and always will… more»

Mystery Engine: 1974 Chevrolet Vega GT Barn Find

  Reader Rocco B. sent us this 1974 Vega, and while the engine in this car is not exactly a mystery, it is a mystery to the person selling the car. To quote, “I never opened the hood so… more»

Respect Your Elders: 1980 BMW 528i

I’m a little indignant on behalf of this poor 1980 BMW 528i. It’s been thrown to the craigslist wolves because “it’s just not an M car.” As the bumper stickers (usually on not-that-old 3-series) say, respect your elders, sir… more»

One-Owner Drop Top: 1973 Buick Centurion

What a rear! It’s no secret that I love big American cars, but I’ll show my incompetence in the GM department by saying I did not previously know about Centurions! They were the Wildcat’s direct replacement, and at first… more»

Silver Rollin’ Rebel: 1981 Chevrolet C10 Choo Choo Custom

Though normally I despise short-bed pickup trucks (unless it’s a step-side bed), I am a huge fan of square-body GM pickup trucks, especially unrestored ones. When my dad was a young adult he owned a blue 1973 GMC half-ton… more»

Going Bananas: 1974 Ford Mustang II

I think all of us can agree that the color makes the car.  I have a preference for black cars, even though the color is a pain in the rear to keep clean.  My grandfather completely restored a Model… more»

Minty X-Body: 1973 Chevrolet Nova

On my way home from my cabin in Pike County, my mom brought up how one day today’s cars will one day be classic cars. I wonder if they will ever be appreciated as the non-muscle car automobiles from the 1960s… more»

Original Cat: One-Family 1967 Mercury Cougar

Introduced in 1967, the Mercury Cougar was the direct sibling to the Ford Mustang. The Mustang was such a wild success, Ford decided they needed something for the Mercury folks as well and thus the Cougar was born. Though… more»

Unrestored Short-Bed: 1971 Chevrolet C-10

These old C-10s have never been unpopular, and this one is no exception. While ’67-’72 Chevrolet pickups are relatively easy and affordable to come by, the short wheelbase models are typically the most sought after and thus often the… more»

Mark by a Different Marque: 1980 Volvo 262C Bertone

When you think of 1980s Volvo competitors, you probably don’t usually think of Eldorados or Lincoln Marks, but those are exactly the cars that the Volvo 262C was aimed at during its 1978-81 production run. Built and trimmed by… more»

Crazy Colors: 1971 Porsche 911 Targa

I’m not necessarily a Porsche fan, however I am a fan of impeccable survivors, and cars that are blue. This 1971 Porsche 911 is all three of those things, and I can’t find anything about it I don’t like…. more»

Underrated Classic: 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Survivor

Its no secret that I love blue cars, so I may be a little biased here, but this 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a beautiful shade of blue that does nothing but good for it. With a price of $6,000… more»

16K Miles From New: 1989 Jaguar XJS Coupe

Jaguar’s iconic XJS coupe is one of the prettiest shapes to ever grace our shores, but high cost of ownership and frequent neglect have banished these cats into used car lot hell and self-service parts yards. Too often, years… more»

Never This Nice: 1993 Chevy Astro AWD

While not necessarily an appreciating classic, Chevy’s Astro and GMC’s Safari vans have slowly disappeared from domestic roadways. It’s a shame, as this was perhaps one of the more unsung heroes of GM’s utility van lineup. Astros like this… more»
