Pole Barn Find: 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door

After a radical styling redo in 1959, Chevrolet toned down its full-size cars a bit in 1960. The batwing tailfins were still there, but the “cats’ eye” taillights were replaced by circles and the front grillwork was less aggressive…. more»

Driver-Grade Survivor: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

I am probably not alone in believing that the C3 Corvette is best photographed from a low angle. Doing so accentuates the sleek and aggressive lines that help these classics to stand out in any crowd. These cars are… more»

454 V8 Numbers Match: 1973 Chevrolet Corvette

The Chevy Corvette is considered “America’s Sports Car” and enjoyed a solid 1973 sales year, up 13% over the prior outing. Emphasis had begun to shift away from raw power as muscle cars were falling out of favor yet… more»

Original Warhorse: 1972 Chevrolet K20

The first of Chevy’s C/K truck series arrived in 1960 as a complete overhaul of GM’s approach to this market. No longer planted on an automobile frame, the new truck received its own purpose-built platform. Designed for easier ingress… more»

Restored 37 Years Ago: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Between 1966 and 1968, the Chevelle SS 396 was a series of its own. Before and after, it was an option on the Malibu Sport Coupe (or convertible). The seller’s 1967 Chevelle is not a Super Sport, nor is… more»

Estate Sale – Potpourri of Cars, Trucks, Parts

It’s sad when someone dies and leaves their estate to someone else to dispose of. But it must be tough when the dearly departed was a mechanic who apparently kept more than he discarded. Such is the case with… more»

Wagon Roller: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Second-generation Chevrolet Chevelles used different monikers to separate station wagons from the rest of the lineup. Those names included Nomad, Greenbrier, Concours, and Concours Estate. We believe the seller’s 1972 edition is a Malibu equivalent, the Concours because if… more»

Split Window Dreaming: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette

When Chevrolet unveiled the split-window coupe version of its all-new Corvette, I doubt anyone assumed it would be iconic. That’s because just 10,594 of them were built before Chevy went with a solid window design for the remainder of… more»

39k-Mile Survivor: 1969 Chevrolet Nova SS

No Reserve: 1972 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

Is it just me, or do you see more 1972 Impala Custom Coupes than you do 1972 Impala Sport Coupes (such as this one)? Production numbers are only broken down into six-cylinders, eight-cylinders, and convertibles, so we may never… more»

Patina Pickup: 1950 Chevrolet 3100

I have always found older Pickups cool because they represent an excellent base for a custom build. Such has been the fate of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100. The seller preserved its aged exterior that tells the story of the… more»

Stored 42 Years: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Introduced in 1964, the Chevy Chevelle would quickly become the automaker’s second most popular nameplate. After a restyle in 1968, the Chevelle sold more than 500,000 units in 1969, though that also included the El Camino pickup. The seller’s… more»

Pair of 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28s

Substantial changes came for the Chevrolet Camaro in 1970 when the popular “pony car” received a complete redesign. And, in the process, the SCCA Trans Am-approved Z/28 got a substantial change, too, under the hood. Instead of an exclusive… more»

Not A Nomad: 1957 Chevrolet 150

As the late vaudevillian/actor Jimmy Durante used to say, “I got a million of ’em.” What’s that you ask? Well, 1957 Chevrolets of course. We could call this website “1957 Chevy Finds”, we’ve reviewed so many over the years… more»
