Hard Work Done: 1951 Riley RMB 4-Door

Snow Bound: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
While this Camaro Z/28 has a few rust issues, none of them seem to be too bad, and some of them have already been addressed. The rust that is left is all pretty minor, and once restored, this has… more»
Numbers Matching: 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback
When a Mustang that is in need of full restoration appears for sale on eBay, nothing seems to excite potential buyers more than the words “No Reserve.” This ’66 Fastback is listed in just such an auction, and 13… more»
Blank Canvas: 1941 Chevrolet Pickup Truck
This 1941 Chevrolet pickup has been owned by the same owner since 1966, and while it’s cosmetically tired, it’s also a dry California example. The bed has been converted to a flat-bed of sorts, and the seller notes that… more»
Tiny Project Car: 1959 Messerschmitt KR200

One Fast Cat: Cheetah With A 454 V8

Restore or Race? 1970 Plymouth Duster
Is this 1970 Plymouth Duster a candidate for a restoration, or would you find some other purpose for the car? Apart from a few rust issues, it seems to be quite a solid car. It wears its original paint,… more»
Survivor Gasser: 1957 Chevrolet Wagon
The title of this 1957 Chevrolet wagon may be a bit misleading. Can a car really be a survivor and a gasser? If you want to look for yourself, you’ll find one here on Craigslist, submitted by reader Jack M. No… more»
Locksmith Was Needed: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am
I’m fairly certain this battered Trans Am popped up on Facebook a few weeks ago, as photos were circulated showing a near identical car in Connecticut that had long been parked at a gas station. My memory could be… more»
Good Place To Start? 1968 Pontiac GTO

This 1969 Dodge Charger looks pretty rough and ready, but there does appear to be some potential in it as a project car. The person who takes the Charger on will be facing a pretty major restoration project, but… more»
