Rare Purple Goat: 1965 Pontiac GTO
As a 10-year-old CCN (Certified Car Nut) in 1965, I thought it was a banner year of styling for Detroit. The Big Three all had good-looking, restyled models; many with stacked vertical quad headlights and new cool, metallic paint… more»
Restore Or Restomod? 1976 Pontiac Ventura

Le Mans Connection: 1978 Holden Torana A9X

Best One Left? 1987 Chrysler LeBaron GTS
You wouldn’t think of preserving a Chrysler LeBaron GTS, and I suspect the owner of this one didn’t set out with that plan in mind. But I could see someone buying one of these new and believing, truly, in… more»
Vintage A/C! 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS
The Super Sport was born in 1961 as a performance edition of the Chevy Impala with bigger engines and limited production. For 1962 and beyond, the SS became more mainstream and an appearance package with any engine choice. The… more»
396 V8 Power! 1968 Chevrolet Caprice
The 1968 model year would be the fourth for the Chevy Caprice and its third as a standalone series. It was introduced in 1965 as a gussied-up version of the Impala, just as Ford did with the Galaxie and… more»

Mechanically Rebuilt: 1995 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Painted Stainless: 1982 DMC DeLorean
Any automotive engineer worth their salt will be able to explain the importance of a proper development program before any new model is released onto the market. Unfortunately, it seems that DeLorean didn’t receive that memo, and as a… more»
Eight Original Miles! 2002 Volkswagen GTi 25th Anniversary
Modern classics are a funny thing. What determines whether a car should be considered an investment-grade specimen when it’s less than 20 years old? There are certain cars, like the various Mustang Cobras and Camaro SSs that are seemingly… more»
Super Duty V8: 1973 Pontiac Trans Am
The 1973 model year would be four years before the first Smokey & The Bandit movie that would turn the Pontiac Trans Am into an instant star. So, its sales volume had not yet exploded and 1973 would be… more»
Highly Optioned: 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible
