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

Future Find? 2009 “Hemi Cuda” Convertible!

Perfect Patina: 1976 Ford Mustang Cobra II

So, what to say about a Mustang II. I was down with Ford’s pony from 1964.5 through ’70. I took a bit of a gulp at the ’71-’73 BIG Mustang but really had a, “Are you serious?” moment when… more»

Muscle Truck: 409-Powered 1960 Chevrolet El Camino!
