“The World’s Best Three-Wheeler”: 1958 Coronet

Flood Victim: 1969 Ford Torino Talladega 428 CJ

Unless I knew the severity and all of the details first, a flood auto isn’t typically one I’d be real keen on considering as a project.  That’s an unfair assumption, as a soaked car isn’t something I’ve had any… more»

“Big Turbo!” 1988 Suzuki Jimny

Beefy tires and a fresh paint job show well on this refurbished and upgraded 4×4, but that’s just the start. The 1988 Suzuki Jimny in Mesa, Arizona left the factory with a turbo and hood-scoop and later gained a… more»

Rare 5-Speed: 1989 Ford Thunderbird SC

As someone who grew up in the Northeast, and began dabbling in project cars while living in New England, I am quite accustomed to rust. In fact, one might say that my threshold for rust is quite high, and… more»

Running Project: 1971 Chevelle Malibu

Chevrolet treated the 1971 Chevelle to a styling refresh, its third since a redesign of the A-body intermediate in 1968. Gone were the dual headlights the Chevelle had carried from Day 1, replaced by large, singular peepers on each… more»

Restore Or Restomod? 1967 Chevrolet Impala

Rare Mopar Pickup: 1970 Dodge D100 Dude

Single Family Project: 1975 Chevrolet Nova

The Chevy II/Nova was one of Chevrolet’s best-selling nameplates. From 1962 to 1979, some 4.7 million copies of the rear-wheel-drive compact rolled off GM assembly lines. And that doesn’t include the clones that Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile fielded in… more»

Shrunken Tri-Five: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

With such a large number of Chevrolet Tri-Fives that were produced over a three-year period, there probably aren’t many modifications left that somebody hasn’t thought of already.  We’ve seen lots of cool customs and Restomods over the years, and… more»
