One Prior Owner Yard Find: 1966 Dodge Charger

BF Auction: 1964 Chevrolet Nova SS 283/4-Speed

In 1964, the Chevy Nova SS officially became a muscle car. In ’62 and ’63, the only engines offered in the Nova were inline-6s. That all changed when the 283 V8 became an option in ’64. The example seen… more»

No Reserve 1969 Pontiac GTO Project

Sometimes used car salesmen get a bad rap, whether it’s at a dealership or an individual looking to find a buyer for whatever classic they’re trying to sell.  It’s not unusual in this marketplace for bodies with rust issues… more»

Drive Or Restore? 1971 Plymouth Road Runner

Turbocharged Project: 1983 Buick Regal T-Type

One-Owner Project: 1967 Pontiac GTO

To many, the 1960s Pontiac GTO was THE muscle car movement. From obscurity in 1964, the car quickly broke GM sales expectations and became a separate series in 1966. After a styling refresh that year, the 1967 models were… more»

1965 Chevrolet Corvette 4-Speed Project

Solar Gold 400 HO: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

One Of The Last: 1974 Dodge Challenger

Corvette Summer Star: 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The car movie scene in the 1970s and 1980s was likely the peak of gearhead-friendly cinema. Outside of the Fast and the Furious franchise from the late 90s and early 2000s (don’t talk to me about the seemingly endless… more»

25k Original Miles: 1995 Chevrolet Impala SS

383 Six-Barrel! 1968 Plymouth Road Runner
