Bargain Muscle Car: 2002 Saleen S281 Mustang

To Mustang lovers, the name Saleen brings images of additional styling and performance modifications that can leave them drooling in envy (or anticipation, if they are buyers)! This 2002 S281 was purchased as a gift to a college graduate,… more»

California Black Plate: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

What we have here for review is the ever-popular 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle but it is not the uber-popular SS396 version. And that’s good as the non-performance versions are worthy cars in their own right. And, as the saying goes,… more»

Wine Cellar Find: 42k Mile 1960 Ford Thunderbird

The second generation of the Ford Thunderbird, which ran from 1958-60, was it’s first as a 4-passenger personal luxury car instead of the 2-seater it replaced. The decision to re-invent the car must have worked by Ford standards as… more»

Rare 1LE Package: 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Here’s something I’d like to see manufacturers bring back to showrooms: factory race cars built in limited quantities. This is a rare 1LE edition of the Chevrolet Camaro, effectively offering track day assassins a turn-key racer that made serious… more»

Big Block Survivor: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427

Where some cars in their final year of production barely see any changes, the outgoing 1967 C2 Corvette saw a number of improvements, most notably a trio of available 427 cid (7.0L) engines. This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe in… more»

Original 409: 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible

This 1964 Impala SS Convertible has had three owners, and the second one appears to have been a man with a vision. He owned the car for 55-years, and it received an engine change early in its life. As… more»

Last Registered In ’86: 1956 Chrysler Windsor

The 1955-56 Chryslers had the “hundred million dollar look,” according to the marketing pundits. These were large, graceful cars that had a more dynamic appearance than the competition. This certainly was true of the hardtop coupes, like the 1956… more»

1971 Buick Skylark with 42k Original Miles!

It seems to me that the 2nd-generation Buick Skylarks are the least popular of that vintage GM A-bodies. I guess something has to be the “least” but they’re my favorite of the A-bodies. This 1971 example was sent in… more»

Four-Eyed SSP: 1986 Ford Mustang

Mustang SSPs aren’t exactly common, and this is definitely the case with the older, “four-eyed” models like this one that previously did duty as a member of the state police force in Oregon. Cherished for their beefed-up drivetrains and… more»

Pasture Find: 1970 Plymouth Duster

The seller calls this 1970 Plymouth Duster a pasture find and they say that it was sitting for 25 years, but it looks far too nice for that. It must have been one nice, dry pasture. They have it… more»

Sweet Survivor? 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger

The most successful sales period for the Dodge Dart was the generation made between 1967-76 (which was also it’s last until a brief comeback years later). From 1969 forward, if a Dodge Dart buyer wanted a two-door hardtop, they… more»

425 V8 Power! 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 Convertible

  A big, 1960s GM convertible, what’s not to like, right? Admittedly, this ’67 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 is a bit rough around the edges but there are still things here to consider as the issues seem more cosmetic in… more»

Turbo V8 Sleeper! 1964 Dodge Dart

Only the lowered stance and side-exit exhaust pipes give away the performance potential of this little Dodge. A darling of penny-pinchers and unassuming citizens everywhere, the economy-minded Third-Generation Dart compact only occasionally got caught up in the swirling eddy-currents… more»

Giddy-Up Giddy-Up! 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS 409

This one is going to be a quicky! Why? There are three images and virtually no details in the listing so I’ll fill in the blanks where I can. We have, for review, a 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS equipped… more»

Perfect Patina? 1977 AMC Gremlin X

In the early 1970s, all the U.S. automakers were scrambling to come up with sub-compact cars to do battle against the imports (and each other). AMC beat both Chevy and Ford to the punch by nearly six months with… more»

Numbers Matching! 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

I’m starting to think build sheets are more valuable than the cars they came with! This rusty and dilapidated 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS does still have its original build sheet and some other tasty features, and therefore the price… more»
