Potent Pontiac: 1994 Firebird Firehawk Formula

Corvette Mini-Me! 1971 Opel GT

Cheap Roller! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Running Project: 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado

Oldsmobile broke new ground when they introduced the Toronado in 1966. It was their version of a personal luxury car, like the Buick Riviera and the Pontiac Grand Prix, but with front-wheel-drive, something unseen in a production American car… more»

454-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Project

Still a bargain classic, the third-generation Corvette, the “C3,” sometimes gets a bad rap since most of the 1968-1983 model run occurred during the “malaise era” when pollution regulations and a focus on fuel economy led to tragically low… more»

L82 4-Speed: 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car

The C3 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car is not a hard limited-edition to find. These cars were the proverbial comic book or baseball card that every kid saved, convinced the other one’s mom would throw their collection out first. The… more»

70k Mile 1995 Ford F-150 4×4 Blue Ridge Edition

This clean 1995 Ford F150 pickup caught my eye because of its special edition packaging: it’s called a Blue Ridge edition, which as far as I can tell was a cosmetic upgrade kit offered by one dealer somewhere in… more»

Super SUV: 1993 GMC Typhoon

Ah, the GMC Typhoon: I never tire of seeing these come up for grabs, and home to someday call one of them of my own. No matter which flavor you like – this Jimmy-bodied example or the Syclone pickup… more»

Rare 1-Of-50 Bill Elliott Edition: 1988 Ford Thunderbird

This 1988 Ford Thunderbird is sort of a one-off special edition, offered by one southern Ford dealer in limited quantities as a tribute of sorts to the legendary Bill Elliott NASCAR edition. The Thunderbird came with special body decals,… more»

$600 Garage Find: 1993 Mercedes 190E 2.3

Super Clean K-Car: 1988 Dodge Aries LE Wagon

I was just recently in northern Georgia to visit my in-laws, a trip I know routinely make by car a few times each year. Somewhere south of Richmond, there’s a small farmstead near the highway with two Aires wagons… more»

Survivor Minivan: 47k Mile 1990 Dodge Caravan LE

Believe it or not, the first-generation Dodge Caravan has been steadily growing on me. This is largely due to the fact that there’s basically no supply left of these highly durable people movers, and there’s a big-time appreciation for… more»

Original or Restored? 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

The Chevelle was Chevrolet’s entry into the then-new mid-size market in 1964. The name would run through 1978 before the top-tier Malibu carried the torch going forward. The second-generation (1968-72) would be its most popular, especially the 1970 model,… more»
