I know that the 4th of July was yesterday…but I’m still feeling the need for some Americana, so you guys have to suffer through some more pieces of rolling art. Todays tribute to freedom is 4-door 60s Impala with a big V8 and style for miles. Find this 1969 Chevrolet Impala offered for $11,900 in […]
My parents had a Chevy Vega back before they had a bunch of kids, and to this day my old man claims was the worst car he ever owned. But his didn’t have a 300 horsepower Vette motor, nor a hacked off roof with a rear seat delete and shiny deep dish wheels. Could a […]
It might be the exhaust fumes speaking, but the C4 is starting to grow on me. I think I need a fan to exhaust the fumes after I’ve parked my classic car into my garage/office, because it gets pretty spicy in here. Anyway, the C4 generation Corvette was a big styling change from the previous […]
This next car comes from tipper Jim H who writes: Erik Estrada called and he wants his van back. I am pretty sure I saw this van on at least one episode of C. H. I. P. S. Yes, this is indeed a throwback to an older time, and my only complaint is that I’d […]
The early 1970s Chevrolet Nova was categorized in GM’s fleet as a compact but with a 111 inch wheelbase and a 189 inch overall length, it was anything but compact. GM’s desire for marketshare was equally not compact and they released corporate cousins in the Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Ventura, and Buick Apollo. Strange side […]
The C3 generation of Chevrolet’s Corvette was introduced for the 1968 model year and is an iconic shape in any condition. The early cars with their chrome bumper and free breathing engines are the choice collector cars, but the later cars are cheap. Today’s Stingray has some needs before it becomes your Friday night car […]
There are some interesting parallels between the early 1970s and the early 2020s when it comes to cars and the car economy. Let’s start with government regulations that were making cars more safe for everyone and better for the environment, but demonstrably less fun to drive…yeah that happened in the 70s with seats belts and […]
The Ventura name was first used by Pontiac as a higher priced version of their 1960 full sized Catalina, but with the release of the Grand Prix, the name was relegated to a trim option for 1962 through 1965. However, in 1971 the Ventura was given new life on GM’s compact rear-drive X-platform shared with […]
This next car leaves us with more questions than answers, because at first glance it appears to be an ex-CHP car sold by the CHP Museum near Sacramento, but the listing states that this was never an actual California Highway Patrol car. Why does it look like this? That’s some thing the seller needs to […]
The next car came across the DT tips hotline and I almost immediately discounted it as yet another minty clean early 90s Geo Metro, but upon closer look this thing is a Pontiac. Yup, you could get the Geo Metro badged as a Pontiac Firefly in Canada for a few years and this one has […]
