1990 Dodge Power Ram 150 Short Bed 360 V8

It’s been 15 years since Dodge separated its pickup line into the Ram series, and I still can’t get used to not referring to them as a Dodge. It’s still a Dodge pickup to me. Change is hard for… more»

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS project, listed for $15,000 here on craigslist in Salem, Oregon, could be the right foundation for someone ready to take on a classic muscle car with real potential. The seller says they purchased the… more»

Affordable Shelby: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger

Best Offer Fastback: 1965 Ford Mustang

28k Original Miles: 1977 Pontiac Firebird Esprit

While it may not have the cachet of a Trans Am, this 1977 Pontiac Firebird Esprit is a tidy survivor. It retains its original paint and has a genuine 28,000 miles showing on its odometer. There are a few… more»

No Reserve: 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible

Are you a “glass half empty” or a “glass half full” type of person? If you fall into the former category, you will look at this 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible, recognize the rust issues, and throw it into the… more»

57K-Mile 1974 Ford LTD Brougham 400 V8

The seller lists this color as “Saddle Bronze Metallic,” but whatever color this 1974 Ford LTD Brougham 2-Door Hardtop is, it isn’t the same color as the one Buddy Ebsen used while playing Barnaby Jones five+ decades ago. It’s a… more»

Nicest One Left? 1975 Chevrolet Laguna S-3

The Laguna S-3 was the successor to the Chevy Chevelle Super Sport. By the mid-1970s, the muscle car scene had changed substantially, and the S-3 would carry Chevy’s intermediate performance mantra for 1974-76. The seller, a dealer in Sarasota,… more»

Easy Project? $2,500 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT

Sometimes, you have to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them. Obviously, I spent a lot of time attending Kenny Rogers concerts when I was a kid (seriously – holiday tradition, he came to the… more»

Unfinished SS Project: 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle

Chevrolet introduced the mid-size Chevelle in 1964 to compete with the Ford Fairlane that had been resized in 1962. It joined the other GM divisions (except Cadillac) that had rolled out their own A-body entries. The Super Sport was… more»

LT-1 Power: 1994 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon

Man, that’s a lot of wood! This baby looks more like a cabin cruiser than a car, but no, it’s a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon – a very popular model at least in sedan form. And of course,… more»

Worth Fixing? 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

Plymouth found a niche in the late 1960s performance car boom – the budget-minded muscle car. The gimmicky Road Runner debuted in 1968 and quickly proved to be a top seller with more than 81,000 copies in 1969 (its… more»

Indy Pace Car: 1990 Chevrolet Beretta GT

If you’re a product of the 1980s and 1990s as I am, there are some cars that you might consider “iconic” based solely on their existence within that time period. Of course, to understand this, you have to also… more»
