1955 Dodge Custom Royal: Hemi Power

This 1955 Dodge Custom Royal Hemi was driven until the mid nineties until the transmission developed bad habits. I had a well rusted black and white one much like this one in the sixties. I paid $25 for it in Michigan… more»

Coughs And Sputters: 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 500

I enjoyed the seller’s honest description of this Corvair! Including the phrases “Ok, it’s been sitting for almost 20 years,” and “drove it NOT FAR AND NOT FAST,” the seller paints a picture of a project car that didn’t… more»

80% Factory Paint: 1970 Datsun 510 Wagon

1960 Edsel Ranger Hardtop: Sports Coupe?

I’ve never really understood why Edsels never really took off. They built some very interesting cars, especially towards the end of the brands life. I especially like the 1960 Ranger, but finding them is rather difficult. They only built… more»

Weekend Driver Survivor: 1975 Alfetta

Earlier this month, I wrote about another one of these that I felt was a bargain. I’m feeling the draw again after looking this one over, but it’s too far away as well, although this time at least it’s… more»

Husqvarna Stash: Herd of Huskies Must Go!

Same Owner for 46 Years: 1965 Dodge Dart GT

Scan your local used car lot and it becomes apparent that more consumers than ever before are trading cars in after just a few years of ownership. Either we’re slaves to variety or the cars themselves just aren’t that… more»
