By 1999, the Chevrolet Corvette was headed back in the right direction in terms of performance, with the 5.7-liter engine delivering a respectable 345 horsepower in bone-stock form. This seems like a decent amount of pep for most drivers… more»

Solid Survivor: 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
The 1979 Camaro may have been a surprise for the folks over at Chevrolet. The economy wasn’t great, fuel availability uncertainty had returned, and the second-generation Camaro was in its 10th year. Yet, the pony car would set its… more»
Real Deal Restored: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
You could still get a Chevelle SS 396 in 1972, but the engine was actually 402 cubic inches, and the horsepower rating was just 240 for an LS3. That’s because the industry changed its output ratings to SAE net… more»
500+ Horsepower: 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 L78

Running Project: 1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
Chevrolet reportedly made fewer than 30,000 convertibles in 1967; that’s not a lot. They made over 115,000 wagons and over 575,000 two and four-door sedans, but I had no idea the numbers were so small for Chevy’s ’67 Impala… more»
427 V8 Sleeper! 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne
The Chevrolet Biscayne was in production from 1958 to 1972. And, except for that first year, it was the entry-level full-size car (the Del Ray had that honor in ’58). These were sparsely equipped cars often purchased for fleet… more»
