17k Original Miles: 1972 Chevrolet Caprice
Subjectively speaking, I would suggest that 1972’s full-size Chevrolet B-body cars were the last of those endowed with an attractive, balanced appearance. While the ’71 and ’72 editions, such as today’s find, a ’72 Caprice coupe, are considerably larger… more»

Too Many Doors? 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
One of the most popular cars to clone as a Super Sport 396 is the 1970 Chevelle. But this Malibu is not and will never be an SS tribute simply because it has too many doors. It’s a basic… more»
