In the world of antique project cars, there are cars that need some work and then there are cars where the entire roof has been reconstructed with duct tape. This, unfortunately, is one of the latter. “Solid for the age” the seller states with the supreme confidence of a person asking for less than $5k […]
Style in the 80s was interesting. You could wear a white t-shirt under a white sport coat while wearing white slacks and white tennis shoes. I guess it was convenient if you spilled something white on your clothes, like some sort of white powder…nobody would know. Same thing goes if you drive a white-on-white Corvette, […]
GMC (formerly the Grabowsky Motor Company, then General Motors Truck Company, and later GMC Truck & Coach Division) is a specialty division of GM for trucks and utility vehicles. However, those trucks, vans, and SUVs have always been available as Chevrolets, Buicks, Olds…so is it a premium brand…sort of, although you can often get a […]
I was ready to hate this next car when it came through with a description as a “Corvette with a Testarossa body kit”…but I’m not so sure. The overall effect of the C4 front end with a Ferarrish rear isn’t as stomach turning as one would expect. I dare say that I sorta like it. […]
We all know that the C3 generation Corvette (1968-1982) are not the most desirable generation of the Corvette…something to do with a floppy chassis and smog throttled engines…but I find the body shape to be pleasing to the eye. Even when crusty. Find this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette bidding for $10,000 in Armonk, NY via ebay […]
I hate dealing with the weirdos who want to buy your used car as much as the next guy, but I can’t fathom a single situation that would warrant the donation of an icon car like the 57 Chevy that is in this good condition…so the fact that someone donated this car boggles my mind. […]
What do you do with a super cheap C5 Corvette convertible that needs an engine and transmission? Cummins 6BT swap? Put in a jet engine? It is obvious that this vehicle donated its engine/transmission to some old Ford hot rod, so maybe the right thing to do is to swap in a flathead Ford V8. […]
Bruce Wayne tugged at his 7-Eleven name tag and glanced at the clock. I hate the swing shift, he thought behind his dark brown eyes. I want to be fighting crime, not selling cans over overpriced energy drinks. But this wasn’t the millionaire Bruce Wayne from the big screen, this was the Bruce Wayne who […]
If the Corvair based UltraVan we featured yesterday was a bridge too far in your automotive journey to the promised land, then perhaps you need something that is a bit more “factory”. Still different. Still built on the mass market Corvair chassis…but to work on this one you don’t need a PhD in Vintage Aviation […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: I’m a latte-sipping, effete sorta guy who reads Dostoevsky and scoffs at popular culture with an insufferable air of superiority … who secretly moonlights as Joe Dirt at the local honky tonk on Friday nights (thx to an epic mullet wig). Sadly, […]
