Factory Fuelie? 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan

Some classics are a genuine surprise packet, and such is the case with this 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan. This seemingly mild-mannered family Sedan is a tidy vehicle that wears most of its original paint. However, closer scrutiny reveals… more»

Original L76: No Reserve 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Some classics leave potential buyers with tough decisions to make. That might be the case with this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. Mechanically, it’s a no-brainer, because this car retains its potent numbers-matching L76 version of the 327ci V8. Therefore,… more»

Extra Cab! 1967 Dodge Power Wagon WM300

The Power Wagon is just one of several vehicles inspired by automakers’ war experiences, but it is the first medium-duty truck to be made in a civilian version. It arrived in 1946, following Dodge’s WC series. It took a… more»

Deuce Coupe? 1932 Plymouth PB Project

We’ve all heard of the Little Deuce Coupe (car and song) and know emphatically, that we’re talking about a 1932 Ford coupe. It was a big deal because it was a break from the old-school Model A and it… more»

1950 Buick Special Sedanette Is All Original

I was misinformed. I thought the “sedanette” body style on Buicks (debuted in ’42) ended with the 1949 model, but here’s a 1950 Special sedanette to prove me wrong. It’s being offered on eBay in Le Mars, Iowa, with… more»

No Reserve 1968 Pontiac GTO Project

This 1968 Pontiac GTO is another sad story where the seller began disassembling it with a restoration in the works, but due to an unfortunate family illness, those plans have fallen through, and now the goat is in search… more»

The Junkyard Collection: 1964 Iso Grifo A3/L Spider Prototype

I covered this Iso prototype briefly in an article on the cars of the Rudi Klein “Junkyard” collection, but Araknid78 isolated this tip for us, and I’m a sucker for these weird exotics, so here we go again. This… more»

BF Auction: 1966 Buick Electra 225 Convertible

This 1966 Buick Electra Convertible has been tucked safely away in the seller’s warehouse for several decades. It’s been in their family since it was new, so letting it go has likely been a difficult choice, but they would… more»

Possible Yenko Tribute: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Purchasing an unfinished project can be fraught with danger, and many enthusiasts will attest to this. Fresh paint will sometimes hide horror stories of Stephen King proportions, souring what should be pure enjoyment. However, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro would… more»

One Owner Engine Upgrade: 1973 Plymouth ‘Cuda

When the Plymouth Barracuda was redesigned in 1970, the ‘Cuda version stood for performance. The ‘Cuda engine choices were a 340, 383, 440, and the 426 Hemi. But the focus changed in 1972 as rising insurance premiums had buried… more»

Rare Color: No Reserve 1974 Plymouth ‘Cuda 360

We have seen a recent influx of No Reserve classics at Barn Finds, and this 1974 Plymouth ‘Cuda continues that trend. Adding to its appeal are the one-year-only paint shade and its numbers-matching drivetrain. Its needs are minor, and… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible Project

Hiding in this garage is a project candidate that should offer a lot to its next owner. It is a genuine 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible, and while it requires total restoration, it retains its numbers-matching and potent… more»

Breaker, Breaker: Smokey and the Bandit Automobilia

If you were a male growing up in the 1970s, like me you were no doubt a fan of the Smokey and the Bandit movies (or at least the first one). The good old boy flick starring Burt Reynolds… more»

One Owner? 1968 Ford Bronco

This 1968 Ford Bronco is a solid classic, but it demonstrates why some claims should be taken at face value. The seller refers to it as a one-owner vehicle but then reveals that they are awaiting some original parts… more»

No Reserve LT-1: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

The LT-1 version of Chevrolet’s iconic small-block V8 was one of the most expensive options offered on the 1970 Corvette. However, it provided some distinct advantages over the big-block alternative. With less weight hanging over the front axle, cars… more»

Woodie Roller: 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe

In its heyday, the wood-bodied station wagon (aka “woodie” or “woody”) was something of a status symbol. The body was made of real wood, which meant a lot of handwork was required, which also made them expensive. Chevrolet’s last… more»
