392 Hemi V8! 1967 Dodge Coronet

The Coronet served as Dodge’s intermediate-sized car from 1965-76. The 500, like the seller’s car, was the top-line model for 1967 unless you opted for the R/T which was more spirited in its execution. This 500 started with your… more»

Retirement Liquidation! 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Kool Kustom: 1960 Ford Fairlane 500

This ’60 Ford Fairlane 500 caught my attention for two reasons, first, it’s a 1960 Ford and they don’t turn up often, and second, it’s had a fantastic customization applied, so that warrants a review. This Fairlane is located… more»
