Big Continental Kit: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville

Dusty Muscle: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

It isn’t clear just how long this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner has been sitting in this barn, but the heavy layer of dust would suggest that it has been a long time. It will need a complete restoration, so… more»

Clean 1971 Plymouth Cuda 383 4-Speed!

The ’70-’71 Plymouth Cuda is about as iconic a muscle car as you can get. It has the right look, came in bright colors, and could be optioned with a big block V8, you can’t get much more muscle… more»

Cadillac of RVs: 1978 GMC Royale Motorhome

Unlike most of the GMC motorhomes we feature, this Royale model actually looks quite tidy and has been extensively used as intended by its two owners. The GMC has been with the current caretaker since 1992 and has just… more»

V8 Swap Candidate? 1974 Ford Pinto

Chopping up a survivor for non-stock modifications always seems a tad sacrilegious, but since this clean 1974 Ford Pinto wagon is already wearing Fox-body wheels and has a manual gearbox, it’s way too temping to shove a 5.0L under… more»

Artificially Aged: 1964 Bugatti 35B Replica

Rusty Ranger Package: 1974 Ford Bronco

Ford Broncos are hot: there’s no doubt about it. And there’s nary a better example than seeing a former plow truck like this one, rotten in almost every panel, pulling bids to almost $4,000 with a day left in… more»

1968 Plymouth Road Runner 383 4-Speed Project

Plymouth got into the low-buck muscle car market in 1968 with the Road Runner. It essentially was a stripped-down Belvedere with a spartan interior and macho power under the hood. For a mid-size, the cars were light and could… more»

Drivable Project: 1964 Chevrolet Corvette

Don’t let the raw appearance of this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette in Summerlin, Nevada fool you; this classic has a boatload of new parts installed, far more than wheels and tires. Interestingly there is no mention or depiction of the… more»

Modern Barn Find: 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon

Finding a car made in the last few decades that’s already as dusty and forgotten as something with fins or from the brass era is a rarity, but this 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon certainly looks every part of… more»

10K Mile 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351

Yesterday, a Ford Mustang II caught my attention and I made reference to its predecessor, the BIG ’71-’73 version of Ford’s famous pony car. Today, it’s time to review a big Mustang, but not just any example from that… more»

Crazy 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 396 SportWagon!

Camaro V6 Powered: 1978 TVR 2500M

This 1978 TVR 2500 looks like a solid foundation for a restoration project, and certainly a good buy at the current asking price of just $5,500. Although these light-weight British sports cars were known for their Ford-derived V8 powerplants… more»

Snow Kitty: 1973 Arctic Cat Kitty Cat

So yeah, 2020 has thrown us yet another curveball with winter coming basically a full month earlier than usual here in the upper-Midwest. With that kick in the… uh.. gut, I couldn’t resist showing the first snowmobile here on… more»

Future Find? 2009 “Hemi Cuda” Convertible!

Determining whether a car is destined to become a future classic is not easy. This is especially true when the vehicle in question has been modified. Even if this 2009 Challenger R/T doesn’t eventually achieve that status, it is… more»

Southwest Survivor: 1977 AMC Hornet AMX
