Heavy Chevy? 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle 396 V8

413 Cross Ram! 1961 Chrysler 300G

This is one of the more unusual listings that I have reviewed. It’s a 1961 Chrysler 300 G which is a major collectible but nowhere in the listing is mention made of its engine – clearly the elephant in… more»

Estate Sale: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T and More!

It’s sad when you see someone’s entire world being auctioned off. That’s because no one else loved that stuff like the deceased, and the memories he/she once had are all but lost. Case-in-point is this upcoming auction in Ashland,… more»

Recently Restored: 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda Tribute

Okay, I’m willing to take some flack from readers who contend this 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda Tribute isn’t restored. It is fair to classify it as refurbished because the changes made by the seller mean it doesn’t meet the restored… more»

1 of 35 Hemi Orange: 1971 Dodge Challenger 340

The Challenger was Dodge’s entry into the previously lucrative “pony car” market. But they were the last manufacturer to get there (in 1970) and demand for muscle cars (and related) began to drop just about the time the Challenger… more»

Nice Looking Project: 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

On nine occasions between 1968 and 1984, Oldsmobile partnered with Hurst Performance for special editions of the 442 or Cutlass Supreme. The last iterations came in 1983-84 and are noted for their (somewhat) gimmicky Lighting Rods Shifters. This ‘84… more»
