Black Wrapped: 1974 AMC Gremlin X

I have long admired AMC because it marched to the beat of a different drummer when the question of styling was considered. Cars like the Matador and Pacer continue to divide opinions decades after the last cars rolled off… more»

Chevrolet Power! 1976 Avanti II 33k Miles

Seldom do automobiles get a second chance when their manufacturer falters. But the Avanti is one of them, an iconic product from Studebaker that was only around for two model years (1963 and 1964). When Studebaker’s U.S. auto production… more»

400/4-Speed: 1968 Pontiac Firebird

I have always considered pre-1970 pony cars as some of the best-looking vehicles to roll off American production lines. They possessed a purity of style that was lost as the later examples grew larger and less elegant. They also… more»

Two-Owner Open Air Survivor: 1992 Ford Mustang

Not Many Left! 1988 Yugo GVL Project

The Yugo was manufactured by Zastava Automobiles in the former Yugoslavia from 1980 to 2008, though U.S. sales were only between 1985 and 1992. The little car, based on a Fiat, was much maligned during its tenure in the… more»

Original Owner! 1977 Chevrolet Nova

Years ago there was a TV show that purported to be a “show about nothing”. Yes, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment but on the surface, today’s find of a 1977 Chevrolet Nova, may seem a bit like a “car… more»

43k Miles: 1969 Chevrolet Nova

Maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, I would see an elderly woman driving around town in a clean ’68 Chevy II sedan, sometimes on snowy, salty days. This always raised a few questions: How many miles were on it?… more»

Cheap V8 Driver: 1978 Chevrolet Nova

The Chevrolet Nova got a more modern look when the fourth-generation cars were introduced in 1975, arguably not quite as cool as their predecessors but perhaps a bit more sophisticated when it comes to styling.  At first glance, there… more»

Nicest One Left? 1993 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe LT

There is something undeniably attractive about owning what could be the best example of a particular classic model. Its modern equivalents will typically offer more creature comforts and refinements, but they won’t generate the level of interest that many… more»

Perfect for the camper who can’t wait to get back to nature, this 1976 Ford F-150 in Salt Lake City, Utah packs a burly 428 CobraJet V8 under the hood, according to the seller. The Six-Pac slide-in camper comes… more»

Rarity claims made by owners can sometimes be difficult to substantiate, leading potential buyers down numerous blind alleys in their search for the truth. However, the seller’s claim about this 1964 Dodge 880 Station Wagon posed no such challenges…. more»

Ready for Finishing: 1983 Ford EXP

Here’s a niche-y corner of the collector car world: Ford’s Escort-based “sport” coupe, called the EXP, or if you were a Mercury fan, the LN7. The EXP was an effort by Ford to downsize in the wake of fuel… more»

Fresh 429 V8 Project: 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1

The Mach 1 was introduced by Ford in 1969 to add some sizzle to the Mustang “pony car”. Its sales had been declining since 1966 due to increased competition and a market that was quickly becoming saturated. This 1973… more»
