Original Family Owned: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

A first-gen Monte Carlo is my favorite; I really have little interest in the MC after those first three years (’70-’72). And a first-gen isn’t that unusual a find, they are still pretty common. But most cars, especially if… more»

Due to a set of unfortunate circumstances, this 1968 Camaro RS/SS Convertible no longer has its original 396 under the hood. However, a 502ci Crate Motor should mean that it has enough performance to keep anyone happy. As you… more»

A lot of us who live in the upper-Midwest, northeast part of the US, Canada, and other northern climates have to put away our motorcycles in the winter months. If you happen to live where there’s snow on the… more»

Only 22k Miles: 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

Parked in 1999: One-Owner 1974 AMC Gremlin

This isn’t a Hemi Cuda, Porsche 356, or some other incredibly valuable car, but this 1974 AMC Gremlin is a dusty barn find nonetheless. It’s also a one-owner car that has been parked for over two decades and it… more»

Original Survivor: 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

The third-generation Plymouth Valiant was a sedan-only compact from 1967-69 until the fastback Duster came along in 1970. A year later, they added the 2-door hardtop Scamp to the line-up – and for the most part – it was… more»

Only 24K Miles! 1989 Maserati TC

OK, is it a Maserati, a LeBaron, something in between or just a poseur. It’s got that special Italian name but it has an everyday K-Car look about it. Whatever the case, we’ll figure it out as best we… more»

Estate Sale Find: 1976 GMC 1500 Sierra Classic

This 1976 GMC 1500 Sierra Classic Pickup is about as tidy and clean as they come. It appears to have led a relatively pampered life, and the fact that it has spent the majority of it in California has… more»

Asleep For A Decade: 1964 Pontiac GTO

My favorite Pontiac GTO is the model’s first year, 1964, and here’s a quite-nice coupe here on craigslist in Temecula, California that can be had for $15,000. The 1964 model year was the first for the GTO and a… more»

15k Mile Survivor: 1979 Mercury Capri Turbo RS

1-of-865 Garage Find: 1980 AMC Spirit AMX

When the two-seat AMX was dropped after 1970, the name would continue to pop up again throughout the coming decade. Javelin AMX. Hornet AMX. Concord AMX. And the Spirit AMX. The latter was no longer a fire-breathing GT, but… more»

EcoTec Swap: 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega

Be objective! An important rule in journalism, or so I’m told. And that sense of fairness should be extended to every vehicle post found here. I do find myself challenged with that admonition, especially in the case of a… more»

Stripes Added In ’76: 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T 440

Many people believe that the end of the 1960s also heralded the end of the psychedelic era. However, that wasn’t the case when it came to vehicle graphics and stripes. We have seen plenty of examples of this over… more»

33k Mile 1988 AMC Eagle 4WD Wagon

Even though it wore badges that said that it was an AMC, Chrysler’s takeover of the company meant that for 1988, this vehicle would be known officially as the Eagle Wagon. The end had finally come for AMC, but… more»

GTO Hunter: 1967 Pontiac Le Mans 455 4-Speed!

Stored “for years,” this bad red Pontiac crawled out into the sunlight, swallowed some brake and fuel system parts, and now “runs great!” according to the seller. The hard work is done; the mysteries solved. Move along if you… more»
