1973 Chevrolet Caprice Sport Sedan 454 V8
Chevy’s Caprice was the company’s top-of-the-line “luxury” car. Plymouth had the Fury III and even more so, the VIP, and some other non-luxury brands that were known for making affordable vehicles were coming out with luxury models. This 40,000-mile… more»
Highly Original: 1949 Hudson Commodore 4-Door Sedan

7k Mile 1995 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
The 1995 Chevy Corvette was produced with the pressure of all the success of previous Corvettes on its shoulders. The car’s styling and driveability performed well under the pressure. Corvettes have always been one of America’s favorite sports cars,… more»
Texas Truck: 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside
Said to be originally from Texas and mostly original, at least on the exterior, this 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside short bed is one cool truck. Two concessions to originality are a power brake booster for a nicer braking experience… more»
Rare Low Mileage 1997 Panoz AIV

T-Tops And A V8: 1979 Dodge Magnum XE
