Former Show Car? 1973 Dodge Challenger

The original Dodge Challenger came late to the “pony car” wars of the late 1960s. In fact, the Challenger didn’t arrive until the 1970 model year and only lasted five years. This rusty 1973 Challenger looks like it was… more»

Four-Speed 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible

Some may find it irreverent, but I’ve never been head-over-heels with the 1969 Camaro. I much prefer the original 1967 model; it’s always seemed just a little swoopier in the quarter panels, and the RS grille projects a vaguely… more»
