455/4-Speed: 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Project

This 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass has plenty of the right stuff going for it, but one drawback is that the engine is missing.  That’s a shame because if I’m understanding correctly, it would have been the V-Code 455 V8, the… more»

Barnyard Find: 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Not Pretty, But It Runs! 1961 Ford Falcon

By the beginning of the 1960s, U.S.-built compact cars were starting to pop up everywhere. Ford’s entry was the Falcon which enjoyed an 11-year run from 1960 to 1970 (the name was briefly applied to a bare-bones Fairlane in… more»

84k Miles: 1995 Chevrolet S10
