Garaged 46 Years: 1970 AMC Javelin SST

One-Owner Project: 1957 Studebaker President

Unrestored? 1957 Dodge W-100 Power Wagon

Factory V8 Project: 1979 Chevrolet Monza Spyder

Garage Find: 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne

When Chevrolet redesigned their cars in 1958, it also mixed up the nameplates. The Del Ray and Biscayne were the entry-level models (and, beginning in 1959, just the Biscayne). They were longer, wider, lower, and heavier than their “Tri-Five”… more»

Original Family Owned: 1970 Chevrolet Impala

21K Original Miles: 1982 Buick Regal Grand National

It’s a little tricky calling this 1982 Buick Regal a muscle car. You see, it’s a Regal with the Grand National “package,” and not a fire-breathing turbocharged GN. However, it’s still quite rare, with fewer than 220 believed to… more»

Nearly Restored: 1970 Dodge Challenger

Muscle Wagon: 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Survivor

Barn Find 4×4: 1977 Ford Bronco 302

The seller says this 1977 Ford Bronco is a barn find, and they also say “All original frame on restoration,” which I’m assuming means original spec. There are a couple of modifications, but looks-wise, this Bronco looks fantastic, and… more»
