Mini-Truck: 1982 Dodge Rampage

The Dodge Rampage was a cross between a compact truck and a “gentlemen’s pickup” – like an El Camino, but only smaller. And with front-wheel-drive instead of RWD like most trucks. Perhaps the demand wasn’t there as Dodge only… more»

Thunder Bunny! 1984 VW Rabbit GTI

Set the Wayback Machine to a time when hot hatchbacks like this 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI put a different spin on performance. This Falls Church, Virginia classic shows some wear after covering 184,000 miles, but it “runs and drives,”… more»

Rare Turbo: 1980 Pontiac Firebird Formula

During the late 1970s, vehicle manufacturers were investigating many ways to extract improved performance from their formerly more muscular models. Pontiac chose the forced induction route, adding a turbocharged version of the 301ci V8 to the Firebird model range… more»

Muscle Car Barn Find: 1995 Chevrolet Impala SS

When we think of a short list of potential modern muscle cars, the Chevrolet Impala SS is likely on most top 10 roundups. It’s already a bona-fide collector’s item and good cars command top dollar. Among modern-day domestics with… more»

2002 Alternative? 1974 Datsun 710

Whenever there is a dominant car in a given segment, it’s natural that we try and find a suitable back-up car that offers a similar driving experience for less money. While I realize it’s a stretch to suggest that… more»

No Reserve: 1973 Ford Bronco

I typically avoid featuring two similar classics in quick succession, but I couldn’t resist with this 1973 Ford Bronco. It comes hot on the heels of this sad 1972 model, but describing the pair as polar opposites would not… more»

Worth Fixing? 1972 Ford Bronco

We’ve seen some pretty sad First Generation Ford Broncos cross our desks at Barn Finds, but this 1972 example could be among the best (or worst?) we have ever seen. Time and the elements haven’t been kind, and while… more»

4-Speed Drop-Top: 1968 Chevrolet Impala SS 396

Chevrolet introduced the Super Sport on the Impala series in 1961. At first, it was a low-production muscle car. But after Chevy decided to focus more on image and less on power, sales went through the roof in 1962… more»

No Reserve 1987 Ski Supreme Sierra 20′ Ski Boat

A person can occupy the winter months in many ways, biding their time until the warm weather returns. Kicking back in front of the fire is one, while others find hitting the ski fields irresistible. However, many would forego… more»

High School Grad Gift! 1967 Chevrolet Corvette

The second-generation Corvette arrived in 1963 and would ramp up the buying public’s interest in the sports car. The Sting Ray moniker would be used for the first time and the ’63 coupe became iconic due to its split… more»

Four-Door Beauty: 1957 Ford Custom 300

The 1957 model year was one of the few times that Ford would sell more cars than Chevrolet (this is back when only one body size was available). The ’57 Fords were new while the ’57 Chevies were a… more»

Big Price Drop: 1990s Ford “Kelly” Python Prototype

We last saw this car more than a year ago, but enough may have changed since then to warrant another visit. The Ford Python was a prototype that was built to impress Carroll Shelby, but never went into production… more»

Retain Or Restore? 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

When a car has been in the same family for over four decades and proven itself as a reliable driver, it’s always a difficult day when one finally decides to let it go, but the future owner of this… more»

Up on Blocks: 1973 Chrysler Imperial

Four Door Conversion: 1994 Ford Bronco Centurion

It’s clear that we’re not going to see the demise of the SUV anytime soon. For many of us, this is somewhat disappointing, especially considering how poorly some of the owners of these behemoths drive while behind the wheel…. more»
