Three-On-The Tree: 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible

390-Equipped: 1971 Ford F-250 Ranger 4×4

Convertible Project: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396

Well, based on the body tag and VIN, this is a genuine 1966 SS396 Chevelle. And that’s good to know because when a car is disorganized, with additional misc pieces included, it’s not always obvious what you might be… more»

No Reserve: 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback

This 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback might be dusty, but the photos confirm it isn’t rusty. It has sat for a few years, and while it needs work to return to active service, the seller has coaxed its V8 back… more»

Only Two Owners! 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna

General Motors treated its mid-size automobiles to a new design in 1973, dubbed “Colonnade” styling. That’s because true hardtops were discontinued, though the doors would not be framed for the glass. The Laguna would become the top-level Chevelle and… more»

Rare Pickup Conversion: 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Project

Complete And Running: 1972 Volvo 1800E

In 1970, Volvo equipped its 1800 coupe models with fuel injection, hence the designation 1800E. There was also a cosmetic upgrade to the car, though the basic body didn’t change until the cute 1800ES station wagon arrived in 1972…. more»

The popularity of the Chevelle SS 396 led Chevrolet to promote it to series status in 1966.  More than 72,000 deliveries were tabulated in ’66 and another 64,000 in ’67 before GM redesigned its intermediates in 1968. This drop-top… more»

Wild Styling! 1961 Dodge Polara

Yikes! I’m not sure how I’d describe this 1961 Dodge Polara. It has a Star Wars-esque bearing about itself, courtesy of Virgil Exner’s imaginative pen. Styling is always subjective and I sorta like this one but mostly don’t. It… more»

Yard Running Project: 1955 Studebaker President

Studebaker and Packard merged in 1954, just before the start of the 1955 model year. So, the cars that both companies built weren’t impacted until the 1957 model year. The plan to resurrect the President nameplate as Studebaker’s top-of-the-line… more»
