One-Owner Survivor: 1971 Chevrolet Nova
The Nova (aka Chevy II) was the second compact to debut from Chevrolet in the early 1960s. The first was the Corvair in 1960, which was unorthodox compared to its peers with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Nova followed… more»

Museum Quality: 1986 Plymouth Horizon

Potent Pontiac: 1994 Firebird Firehawk Formula
While the fourth and final generation of the Pontiac Firebird may not be hailed as a favorite among many F-Body fans, it is simply unfair to say that they didn’t have some great moments now and then. The fourth-generation… more»

Cheap Roller! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
Four-door sedans are usually the least popular vintage cars to restore because they are considered “family cars.” But in 1957, the biggest selling Bel Air was the four-door sedan (and the second highest-selling Chevy overall that year). But that… more»

454-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Project
