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.

The late model 94-96 Buick Estate Wagon with the LT1 is one of those oddball classics that combines a tremendously comfortable ride for 8 people with a Corvette amount of horsepower and torque. Today’s example has a wild paint job from a few decades ago that appears to be fading/peeling and is in need some […]
For the 1994 model year, the Buick Roadmaster got a big powerplant upgrade when it ditched the old L03/L05 V8 and replaced it with an LT1 V8 with more horsepower, torque, and better fuel economy. These have been an inexpensive “family-vette” for as long I can remember, but they are starting to become collectible. Find […]
The nice thing about a classic G-Body is that when you tell someone that you did a “frame-off” restoration, you can show the receipts. Most modern cars have a single unibody, but with this G-body, you can show the frame separated from the chassis with a Corvette LT1 V8 in place of whatever carbureted pile […]

In 1994, the Buick Roadmaster got a massive powerplant upgrade when […]
What do you do with an old Jaguar XJ? Drive it around stock? Restore it and put it in your garage for when they finally go up in price? Or do you power it with a Chevy LT1, lift it, and then hoon in some dirt? That is what the seller of the Jagwar did […]
Let me explain something about luxury to anyone who doesn’t understand true luxury goods. The most desirable or luxurious item isn’t the most useful, most fancy, or even the most expensive item…no…it is much more simple than that…insidiously simple…it is simply the most exclusive item. That is luxury. Having something that the “have nots” don’t […]
