80s Overload: 1986 Chevrolet Corvette C4
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: Love this car. Bang for the buck it’s hard to beat and how can you not love the Knight Rider dash. Pricing is a little brisk, but looks nice. If I didn’t have an ankle replacement I would jump on this. Find this 1986 […]
2JZ Engine, No Sh#t! 1971 Chevrolet El Camino
This isn’t a car you expect to pop the hood and find a 2JZ. It’s just not something that happens that often. The El Camino already has one of the most commonly modified engines on the planet — the Chevy 350…so why would you swap in the most commonly pimped out Japanese engines? Why not! […]
Mullet Vette: 1973 Chevrolet Camaro
This is what happens when a 1973 Camaro and a Corvette rear clip spend too much time alone in a fiberglass shop with a lava lamp and a catalog full of drag-race parts. The seller says it is a Camaro/Corvette hybrid, with the Corvette rear body making it a two-seater, because apparently rear seats were […]
Simply Luvly: 1974 Chevrolet LUV Mikado Truck
The naming conventions for this next car could make your head spin. To start this Chevy Truck, despite its 350V8 is not a customized Chevy fullsized Truck, it is the compact Chevrolet LUV…which was actually a rebadged Isuzu Faster. Faster than what? Not much, maybe a Beetle? Anyway, this particular LUV is a Mikado, which […]
Copper Plastic: 1994 Chevrolet Corvette C4
Our next feature is a rare Copper Metallic C4-generation Corvette with the LT1 V8, a 6-speed manual, light gray interior, 88k miles, and enough Radwood-era GM swagger to make your New Balance sneakers tighten themselves. This car looks pretty good for the age, aside from some fading on the driver’s rear quarter, and the exterior […]
Rad Red Vert: 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier RS Z24 Convertible
This next car is a classic Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 convertible, from the era when GM decided an economy-car platform needed hood vents, ground effects, a V6, and a power top. Under the hood should be the 2.8-liter MPFI V6, good for roughly 130 hp and 160 lb-ft when new. Not fast by modern standards, but […]
Drive Something Interesting: 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
One of the forgotten performance bargains of the early 1990s, the Z24 paired Chevrolet’s 3.1-liter V6 with a five-speed manual, giving the humble J-body considerably more punch than its economy-car roots suggest. This Z24 might be inexpensive, but this isn’t just another used Cavalier. It’s a time capsule from an era when a fuel-injected V6 […]
The Vegamino: 1972 Chevrolet Vega
What started life as a humble ’72 Chevrolet Vega wagon has been cut, welded, and transformed into a homebuilt Vegamino. (Is that pronounced veg-a-mino or vay-gah-mino?). It’s a tiny pickup that looks like GM might have built it if the bean counters had been feeling unusually adventurous. But the real story sits under the hood: […]
Purple PopUp: 1987 Chevrolet Corvette C4
How is it that a purple C4 Corvette in “needs a tow” condition sells for about 1/10th of what a similar condition classic Ford Bronco sells for? Is the C4 that bad? Is the Bronco that good? Regardless, this thing is equipped with turbine-style wheels, a plus sized rear wing, and enough purple paint to […]
