Petty Blue Project: 1972 Plymouth ‘Cuda

Signed by Shelby: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra

50th Anniversary Edition: 1952 Cadillac Series 62

Considered to be a 50th-anniversary model, it would seem that all 1952 Cadillacs, including this subject car, were 50th-anniversary models simply by virtue of the fact that 1952 was Cadillac’s golden anniversary. At least that’s how they’re presented in… more»

Rebuilt 390! 1969 Ford Mustang S-Code

By 1969, much of the cuteness of the original Mustang had given way to a more muscular demeanor, especially in the SportsRoof (fastback) models like this 1969 Ford Mustang in Auburn, Georgia. With some metal repair and bodywork done,… more»

Modern Muscle: 1996 Pontiac Firebird Formula

Every now and again, you come across a car that looks like a very smart buy. This 1996 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am strikes me as such a vehicle, as it’s priced reasonably at $8,500, has reasonable mileage (133,500) and… more»

Compact Camper Van: 1978 Dodge Trans Van

This 1978 Dodge Trans Van is a former tailgate rig, which is a real thing I learned about upon seeing my brother-in-law outfit a short bus with blue and white decor so he and his friends had a suitable… more»

1956 Chevrolet Corvette + Optional Eska Pedal Car!

The Chevrolet Corvette was still in its first generation in 1956, but in that model year the car received a new body style with the door handles outside and new cove-type styling down the sides.  A power top was… more»

Thousands Spent: 1974 AMC Javelin

Well Documented: 1969 Oldsmobile 442

Needs Nothing: 1932 Ford Model B Roadster

Original Paint: 1958 Chevrolet Corvette

When you consider that Chevrolet sold a record 9,168 examples of the Corvette in 1958, it is staggering to think that the company was poised to ax the program only three years earlier. Initial sales were modest (to be… more»
