A Good First Restoration Project: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

Did anyone ever build Estes rocket models as a kid?  Emblazoned prominently on the kit was the skill level of the model, from one to five.  One was a model that you glued fins on and launched, while skill… more»

Survivor? 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230SL

The roots of the 230SL dug deep into its predecessor, the 300SL. At the same time, the new car was required to carve its own identity, and that included enticing plenty of buyers. Only 2658 300SLs were made (coupe… more»

No Reserve: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Garage Find! 1974 Bricklin SV-1

This Bricklin is the proverbial “driven by a little old lady on Sundays” kinda car. It was purchased new as one of a pair – his and hers – in 1975. The wife drove it on weekends until 1989,… more»

Restored, Rare! 1963 Triumph TR3B TCF

1982 DMC DeLorean With 6k Genuine Miles!

Impressive Stash Of Swedes Cars In Nebraska

As I learned from experience, the Volvo 1800, in either the made-in-Britain Jensen version or “S for Sweden” later incarnation, does not want to be left outside. They rust prodigiously, and they’re challenging to repair correctly. That’s why this… more»

Package Deal: 1957/1959 Triumph TR3s

Caprice Powered: 1976 Chevrolet Corvette

Despite the convertible being discontinued and the largest engine available reduced to a 350 cubic inch V8, the Chevy Corvette had record sales in 1976. It was still the only 2-door U.S. production sports car on the market and… more»

An Attainable 993? 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
