Classic Lines, Nasty Power: 2009 Challenger SRT8

As others have said, “These are the good old days” of the muscle car world once again. That you can buy nearly new raw, big-engined monster for the price of a new grocery-getter is remarkable. But that’s what you’ll… more»

Clean and Original 1978 Ford LTD Woody!

Calling this a woody is a bit of a misnomer, as the “wood” on this wagon is of the fiberglass variety. But regardless of the manmade panels, this is one heck of a car. Located in Seabrook, New Hampshire,… more»

6-Banger in the Barn: 1970 Chevrolet Camaro

Stored 31 Years: 1966 Ford Mustang

No Reserve: 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP

Fiberglass Kit Car? 1957 Ford Thunderbird

This is one strange bird. It’s registered as a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, but is it? Well, looks can be deceiving and this one is a bit of a Frankenstein. This T-bird is actually a Dofral kit car and my… more»

Road Runner Clone: 1973 Plymouth Satellite

36K Miles: 1979 Buick Skyhawk V6 Hatchback

All Buick Skyhawks had V6 engines in the first generation and that seems like an impressive engine for such a seemingly small car, even if it only had around 110 horsepower. They were also all hatchbacks, this was the… more»

Original Paint Garage Find: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

Last of the Line: 1969 Chevrolet Corvair

The Corvair debuted in 1960 as Chevrolet’s first compact car. It followed along the lines of the Volkswagen Beetle with its rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The car would prove popular at first, but demand faded around the middle of the… more»
