396 V8 Sleeper: 1967 Chevrolet Biscayne
The Biscayne was the Rodney Dangerfield (“I get no respect”) of Chevrolet cars. Produced from 1958 to 1975, it was Chevy’s entry-level full-size automobile that came with no frills and (usually) not much in the way of power. That… more»

Just 34 Miles! 1976 Chevrolet Laguna S-3
In 1974, Chevrolet retired the Chevelle Super Sport and replaced it (more or less) with the Laguna S-3. Production numbers were somewhat low (less than 33,000 copies in three years), so an S-3 is harder to come across than… more»

V8-Ready Roller: 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger
Dodge added the Swinger model to the Dart line-up in 1969 to inject some sportiness into an otherwise boring compact (except for the GTS). The ploy worked, and Plymouth would replicate the 2-door hardtop in 1971 as the Valiant… more»

6-Cylinder Project: 1970 Chevrolet Nova
This 1970 Chevy Nova likely began life as a “Grandma” car. It has the right power equipment for that assumption (250 cubic inch inline-6, 2-speed automatic transmission, drum brakes). After 140,000 miles, it still runs, though the seller says… more»

25k Miles: 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

35K-Mile Loaded Survivor: 1977 Chrysler Newport
How can such a sedate, some might say boring four-door sedan have such appeal today? For me, the interior is the big part. Well, actually being almost 19 feet long is a big part, too, but once you see… more»

Road Ready: 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria
The attractive hardtop body style was still a relatively new and special thing in the early 1950s, and its seemed as if most makes had special names for it: Buick had the “Riviera,” Oldsmobile the “Holiday,” and Ford the… more»

Same Owner 21 Years: 1972 Pontiac LeMans Sport
The LeMans Sport was introduced in 1970, something of a cross between the standard LeMans and the muscular GTO. Perhaps that was to appease profit-oriented insurance companies who had become aware of what the GTO was (as a separate… more»
