Family Truckster? 1972 Plymouth Suburban

Original Paint: 1973 Dodge Challenger Desert Find

S-Code 390: 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

Amazing Survivor: 1941 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead

Worth Fixing? 1973 Pontiac Trans Am 455

This 1973 Pontiac Trans Am is a matching numbers example that has unfortunately been sitting for several years, parked in 1978 under the trees and left to rot. It’s a shame, too, as the car retains many original parts,… more»

One Owner California Survivor: 1972 Capri

When I hear “Capri” my mind immediately goes to the Fox-body generation that was built from 1979 to 1986. Maybe those a little younger than me first think of the 2-door roadster built from 1991 to 1994. Even though… more»

Two-Cylinder: 1993 Polski Fiat 126p

Barn Bound Since ’79: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette
