Original Paint: 1939 Ford De Luxe Coupe

They don’t make them like they used to. That’s a line that we hear so often, and it could refer to almost anything that we find in our daily lives. However, I can’t imagine driving a new car out… more»

Parked In ’73: 1966 Pontiac Catalina Convertible

Pontiac’s big cars were all about size in 1966, a sort of long and even longer model lineup. And while the Catalina was positioned at the bottom of the ’66 Pontiac totem pole, it was still a lot of… more»

Drop-Top 390 V8 Project: 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente

From 1960-65, the Comet was Mercury’s compact car offering and lived in the shadows of the Ford Falcon, which sold in much greater numbers. For 1966, Mercury would go in a different direction and promote the Comet to intermediate… more»

1 of 2 Built: 1998 Chevrolet Camaro SS Lingenfelter

This 1998 Chevrolet Camaro SS is a rare bird, supposedly one of two built that received the full “tuned by Lingenfelter” treatment. This fourth generation Camaro is a standout regardless of the additional enhancements as it has just 22,000… more»

Have you ever been sorely tempted by a project, even convinced to look the other way on expensive repairs, if the general appearance just rubbed you the right way? We don’t need a PhD in here to know that… more»

14K Original Miles? 1963 Studebaker Avanti

A first-year, 1963 Studebaker Avanti with a claimed 14K miles is going to be an attention-getter! Especially an example that is as clean as this Morro Bay, California domiciled subject car. It looks fantastic, so let’s investigate. It is… more»

Nine Rockwell Sabreliner T39s Up for Grabs!

I keep getting the bug to learn how to fly, but it’s way deep on a long list of “Things to do before I die”, and it’s also stubbornly stuck behind “Make enough money to justify owning a plane.”… more»

401 V8 Beauty! 1966 Buick Skylark GS

As Cadillac was not in the business of producing high-performance cars, the job of making the most well-adorned General Motors muscle cars fell to Buick. And the name Gran Sport (GS) took those honors beginning in 1965. That included… more»

First Year Convertible: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

The popular Ford Mustang was unchecked (except for the Barracuda) in the new pony car market until the Chevy Camaro came along in 1967. It, too, would be a success, selling 285,000 units in its first year. The convertible… more»

454/4-Speed: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

Some classic cars have a story to tell, and I’m sure this 1972 Chevelle SS is no different. It has spent more than 20-years in storage, and it has only recently emerged into the light of day. Its drivetrain… more»

Caribou Eldomino: 1978 Cadillac Eldorado

While not a particularly booming segment of the automotive field, the small but mighty industry of converting Cadillacs into a fancy El Camino is well known by now. In general, the big body Eldorados just seemed like perfect Guinea… more»
