Cheap Project? 1968 Chevrolet Impala

To put things in perspective, about 710K Chevrolet Impalas were built in 1968. That’s not full-size “B” body cars, that number would be about 1.2 M. The 710K number is the Impala trim level alone. And Chevrolet took the… more»

454-Equipped: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

I’m always slightly dubious about tackling someone’s unfinished project, but this 1970 Chevelle SS might be an exception. Most of the heavy lifting is complete, and this rust-free survivor needs little if it is to be pushed to the… more»

Storage Unit Thunderjet! 1970 Ford Thunderbird Landau

We’ve all seen those television shows where bidders vie for access to an unopened storage unit, hoping to find forgotten gold inside. While much of it is staged, they had to get the inspiration from somewhere – and here’s… more»

2003 Cadillac Seville STS With 10K Miles!

A 2003 Cadillac on Barn Finds, right? Right! It’s not a barn find and it’s not even that old, though at eighteen years of age it could be getting a little gray. So what gives? It’s a 10K mile… more»

Supercharged V8! 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Studebaker had a lot of faith in the series of Hawk cars they fielded between 1956-64. There were several iterations on the Raymond Lowey-styled, Champion-based automobiles, such as the Sky Hawk, Silver Hawk, Power Hawk, Flight Hawk, Golden Hawk,… more»

Supercharged Project: 1941 Graham Paige Hollywood

Thanks to World War II, many American automakers soldiered into the early 1940s with models designed in the 1930s. This 1941 Graham-Paige Hollywood Supercharged in Chula Vista, California had at least one marketing advantage, being based on the evolution… more»

Rare Sport Coupe: 1956 Chevrolet 210

When most folks think of the ’56 Chevy sport coupe (unpillared), the Bel Air usually comes to mind. But the mid-range 210 (or Two-Ten) could also be had in that body style, although they sold just one-seventh as many… more»

1 of 146: 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible

The Mustang got its second mild restyle in 1969 and would continue to sell well although just about everyone else was fielding a pony car by then. This convertible is a work-in-progress and in limited company as the number… more»

Like-New 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z/28

Tell Momma she’s gotta hide the bank book and the credit cards: The condition of this car will positively blow your mind and you may uncontrollably have the urge to BUY IT.  When so many people moved west to… more»

Free Firetruck! Stuck 1963 International Pump Truck

When it comes to getting rid of unwanted parts or vehicles, “free” is generally a powerful motivator for getting people to show up and haul stuff away you don’t want. However, there are usually some strings attached for vehicles… more»

Brambles Find: 1985 Ford Mustang LX

Does it help to be a dreamer when it comes to owning old cars and trucks? I think so, especially if you’re inclined to buying heap-grade examples of rare cars like I do. To me, it’s like waking up… more»

No Reserve Project: 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Taking on someone’s unfinished restoration project can be a daunting task, and that is what awaits the buyer of this 1964 Corvette Convertible. However, it might not be as bad as it first seems. It appears to be mostly… more»

Red, White and Blue: 1970 AMC Machine

In the 1960s, American Motors competed in many market segments, but not the mid-size muscle car class. They had the AMX and Javelin to do battle with the Mustang and Camaro, but nothing for the GTO and Road Runner…. more»

Short Bed 4×4: 1978 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne

The introduction of the “Square Body” line of GM trucks in 1973 was a marked departure from the previous C10/K10 design (did you know that internally, GM called the 1973 design the “Rounded Line”?) and the new styling captured… more»

25K Original Miles: 1995 Chevrolet Corvette

The last hurrah of the classic C4 Corvette remains on my short list of vehicles to own before it’s either too late or values climb too high (and those scenarios effectively go hand-in-hand.) The 1995 model seen here is… more»
