  • This dealer in TN has consistent marketing strategy

    This dealer in TN has consistent marketing strategy

    Is there a car there somewhere? This dealer consistently has cool muscle cars, pony cars and hot rods for sale and generally employs the same strategy, which is using hot models to grab attention.  In truth, this is also a sweet, original-looking ’69 Camaro RS with 350 and 4-speed.  We dig the steel wheels and…

  • A better Monza?

    A better Monza?

    Not too long ago, we pondered where all the Monza had gone. The example which inspired us was a four-cylinder variant, which is far from exciting.  Today’s subject car at least contains eight cylinders, even if it was delivered with the 262 rated at a blistering 110 horsepower.  Better news here is that the owner…

  • Celebrity factor 80s Camaro?

    Celebrity factor 80s Camaro?

    Celebrity association sometimes adds value to a vehicle at auction.  It helps, however, if most of the public knows who the hell the celebrity is.  Apparently, this was used in Ariana Grande’s latest video.  In other news, there’s apparently a singer named Ariana Grande. It seems she’s a singer and actress born in 1993 (when…

  • Easily the most interesting HHR.

    Easily the most interesting HHR.

    Generally, the Chevrolet HHR wasn’t a very exciting vehicle.  The PT Cruiser arrived well before it, making the HHR a slow follower and a true “me, too” product.  It was even penned by the same stylist after GM poached him from Chrysler (sometime after Bob Lutz made the same jump).  All that being said, the…

  • Will the 80s Nova ever be interesting?

    Will the 80s Nova ever be interesting?

    I remember when the 70s Chevy Novas were second class citizens unless heavily modified or one of a few relatively rare models.  These days, most of them garner respect and the looks are considered classic.  The Ford Maverick has follow a step behind, with v8-equipped versions now actually having some value in the market. Why…

  • Where have all the Monzas gone?

    Where have all the Monzas gone?

    The Chevrolet Monza replaced the Vega for the 1975 model year and GM sold a great many of them in the second half of the 70s.  Where did they all go? This one looks amazingly original from every angle and has apparently had an engine rebuild. Said engine is a 2.5L I4, so probably not…

  • Subtle and classy?  1990 Beretta Indy

    Subtle and classy? 1990 Beretta Indy

    Your humble host once knew someone who had a car just like this.  Her father was a Chevy dealer, so she at least had an excuse.  In truth, this car seemed to make sense in 1990 and to high school students; but it’s hard to imagine this being much of a collector’s item, at least…

  • Best of the worst? 1977 Corvette 4-Speed

    Best of the worst? 1977 Corvette 4-Speed

    The mid 70s through early 80s “Malaise Era” C3 Corvettes get a bum rap, as their performance dwindled through the emissions years.  Anyone who’s been in one, however, knows that they provide impressive torque in an attractive package.  This tan ’77 is the type of Corvette often overlooked or even mocked, but we like the…

  • Wannabe Ferrari 308 with optimistic seller

    Wannabe Ferrari 308 with optimistic seller

    We see Fieros made to look like Italian exotics on a daily basis, but we’ve never seen a Beal Stiletto Camaro conversion.  This is a blatant ripoff of the Ferrari 308 and is odd in and of itself, but the best part of this ad is the text.  The seller wants to link this thing…
