Rusty Roller: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

1 of 544: 1973 Pontiac GTO 455

By 1973, the once-hot mid-size Pontiac GTO was a shadow of its former self, at least in terms of demand. It was a one-year generation car as all of GM’s intermediates were redesigned that season. In 1974, the GTO… more»

W30-Equipped 4-Speed! 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

Warm 340/4-Speed: 1966 Plymouth Barracuda

Blended Models: 1973 Pontiac Grand Am

The 1959-60 era of the full-size Chevies is often thought of as the “bat wing” cars. They were over-styled compared to the 1958s and those built from 1961 forward.  But they were also big sellers and made GM plenty… more»

409/4-Speed! 1961 Chevrolet Bel Air Bubble Top
