Mustang Fan Sells 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, Mysterious Guy Started the RestorationChevrolet operated several notable changes in the Chevelle lineup in 1969, and the first thing most people think of is certainly the transition of the SS to an upgrade package. The SS 396 was no longer a separate series, only three years after Chevrolet decided to upgrade it to a stand-alone model.The other big change this year was the SS 396 engine, which was bored to 402, despite still being advertised as a 396.

The regular Chevelle could be ordered with a wide variety of engines, beginning with a straight-six unit and continuing with V8s that had a displacement of as high as 350 cubic inches. This block could be ordered in two power versions, with 255 or 300 horsepower.

The Chevelle in these photos is a rough project whose only option is a complete restoration job, and as you can tell from the pics, someone already jump-started the work on this front.eBay seller hotrod651 didn't share many specifics about the Chevelle, claiming they are a Mustang fan, "so I really don't know a lot about these." They also didn't reveal much about the work or the restoration guy who worked on the car previously, so it's unclear if they were a previous owner or a restoration expert.

However, it's obvious the work must continue on this Chevelle, and it's safe to assume it needs extensive repairs in all key areas. The owner says the body is decent, and the frame is good, but I'd recommend that buyers inspect the car in person before making an offer. This is the only way to tell how much work it needs – and also estimate how many extra dollars it'd cost, especially given the missing info.

Otherwise, the Chevelle is still doable, albeit I'm certain many people would walk away and look for easier projects. The car also sells with an engine and a transmission, but we also don't get any specifics. Send your mechanic to inspect what happens under the hood, especially if you're interested in an all-original specimen.

The unit in the car looks like a 350ci V8, but it's impossible to decipher more information without inspecting it live. If it starts and runs, this Chevelle would be significantly more compelling for restoration guys, so make sure you contact the owner and ask for all the details.The best part about this Chevelle is that it sells without a reserve. The owner posted it online at auction, and someone has already submitted an offer. Their bid is $3,500, and if nobody else joins the digital race, this is the price that'll send this Chevelle to their garage. However, considering that 23 people added the car to their watchlists and that the auction would end in 5 days, I wouldn't be surprised to see the battle becoming fiercer.

1971 Plymouth Road Runner Emerges With Original Interior, Bad News Under the HoodIntroduced in 1968, the Plymouth Road Runner remained in showrooms through 1975 as a stand-alone nameplate. From 1976 to 1980, it was offered as a trim package on the compact Volare. Launched as Plymouth's most affordable muscle car, the Road Runner lost its high-performance privileges after the 1971 model year.The Road Runner arrived in showrooms for the 1972 model year devoid of high-compression V8 engines. With new emissions regulations right around the corner, Chrysler discontinued the 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) Six-Barrel and 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi. As a result, the 1971 Road Runner is widely regarded as the last of the golden-era breed.

This hardtop wasn't born with a Six-Barrel or a Hemi, but it's part of that heritage. It rolled off the assembly line in 1971 with a 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) big-block V8 under the hood. The entry-level unit was also the most popular, but 1971 production was the lowest since the Road Runner's debut in 1968.Sales dropped to only 13,664 units that year, a 63% decrease compared to 1970. The 383 V8 found its way into 11,682 Road Runners. This car was ordered with the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, which makes it one of 7,952 produced with this drivetrain combo. Sadly enough, even for a less desirable 383-powered Mopar, this Road Runner has had a rough life.

Based on looks alone, this hardtop spent a very long time in storage. It was originally ordered in Sassy Grass, a high-impact color, but the bright green only adorns the hood, the trunk lid, and small sections of the roof and left-side rear fender. While some of the body panels were sanded off, others were replaced entirely.

This likely means the Road Runner emerged from long-term storage with serious rust issues. It looks like the vehicle was prepped for restoration with replacement parts, but the refresh never happened.

Unlike the exterior, the interior took decades of storage like a champ. The original upholstery is still in great shape and shows minimal wear and tear. The headliner is also in good condition for a vehicle this old. The dashpad shows cracks, but this item shouldn't be difficult to replace. The interior was reportedly taken out by the previous owner, but the seller put it back for auction.Unfortunately, the original 383-cubic-inch V8 is long gone. The Road Runner now comes with a 440-cubic-inch V8 dated 1974. There's no info on specs and origin, but Plymouth kept the 440 RB in the Road Runner through 1975. It was rated at 275 horsepower net in 1974. The unit doesn't run, but it turns over.

If this Sassy Grass Mopar is something you'd like to return to its former glory, you'll find it in Holmen, Wisconsin. With the reserve unmet, bidding has reached $5,602 with six days to go. How much is this Road Runner worth? Is it worth restoring?

Owner Sells a 1974 'Cuda With Just a Single Change You Won't Like, Restoration NeededThe new decade had no mercy for large engines and big cars, and the entire market was pushed, mainly with increasing insurance costs and rising fuel costs, to smaller and more efficient models.Models like the GTO were severely hit by the new trends, and some eventually disappeared, including Pontiac's superstar.

Plymouth tried to keep the 'Cuda on the market with a series of big changes under the hood, so in 1974, customers who wanted the car had to settle for either a standard 318ci unit or an optional 360ci.

The carmaker tried to praise the 360 high-performance engine on every occasion, claiming it was still based on the 340 but sported welcome upgrades, including heavy-duty bearings, a new crankshaft, special intake and exhaust valves, and a four-barrel carburetor.The 'Cuda in these photos was born with a 318ci unit under the hood but was later upgraded to a 360ci engine. This means the car no longer has the original engine, and this is probably the only thing you won't like on this 'Cuda. eBay seller myates8t7i describes the engine as "the only non-matching numbers part of the car," adding that it's still healthy. It starts and runs, but requires further repairs.

This is why the car landed online.

This 'Cuda needs a complete restoration, and I have to admit that it instantly caught my attention when the owner described it as "a true survivor of an important moment in time." The car still has the original paint and many other factory parts, but it'll need extensive work in some areas, including the trunk. You'll need a new floor, but the owner says they'll offer several extras to help with the restoration, including new quarters.

The cabin is also original, and the headliner is described as being in "great shape." As I typically recommend when coming across special classics requiring a restoration, an in-person inspection is the best approach before bidding, especially because a 'Cuda could eventually become a highly desirable classic, rapidly catching the attention of wealthy collectors. For now, it's a project that needs major work, so fingers crossed that the right restoration guy sees it and decides to take it home.Until this happens, the 'Cuda hopes it gets enough attention on eBay. The auction started a few days ago, with only two people entering the digital race so far. The top offer is $4,000, but the owner also enabled a reserve, so it's still in place, forcing the Internet to send higher offers before the 'Cuda can leave for a new home.

The Buy It Now price is $13,000, and considering 26 people added the 'Cuda to their watchlists, we might see someone getting closer to this value to buy the car.

1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 Discovered On A Car Port in 2005 Inspected And Receives My Endorsement!!!

20/07/2025

This Impala SS Was This Close to Getting an LS Upgrade, Gold-on-Gold Specimen Now for SaleThe Impala was no longer the money-making machine it was earlier in the decade, but the 1967 release continued to sell like hotcakes.Chevrolet shipped over 575K units, and the Impala SS remained a good reason to buy a full-size Chevy, with over 76K customers paying extra for the desirable Super Sport upgrades.

The GM brand used the same engine strategy that worked like a charm in all previous years, providing customers with varied options that included lazy sixes and massive V8s. The top engine this year was the L36 427 big-block unit installed on the SS 427. It produced 385 horsepower but carried a hefty price tag, as whoever wanted this engine on their car had to pay $542 on top of the Impala's base price.

Eventually, only 2,124 agreed to spend this ridiculous price on the SS 427.

While I'd consider a 427ci unit a truly potent engine on a 1967 Impala, the previous owner of this specimen wanted an even heftier upgrade. They decided to go for an LS, apparently planning to keep everything else on the car as original as possible.

Described as an "unmolested" Impala by eBay seller allaboutdaloot, this specimen didn't get the promised LS upgrade, as health got in the way and convinced the owner to sell the car. The new owner is now ready to give up on this Impala, and best of all, you no longer have to go for an LS upgrade, but keep it original and stick with the factory configuration.

I won't comment much on its condition because it's obvious this Impala will require a complete restoration, but the good news under the hood is that the factory 327ci unit is still there. It starts and runs, so if you were interested in an original 1967 Impala, this specimen can be the right project. However, a 327ci unit isn't everybody's cup of tea, and considering the car comes with the SS tags, going for a stronger but period-correct engine might be the right approach.

Regardless of your choice, buying this Impala won't be easy or affordable. The car landed on eBay with a $8,000 price tag, but the owner also enabled the Make Offer option. I doubt you'll get a major price cut on this Impala SS, and considering 32 people have also added the car to their watchlists, the negotiations might be fiercer than expected.However, I can't stress enough how important it is to inspect the car in person before submitting an offer. This is the only way to tell if the car aligns with your expectations, so contact the seller, arrange the inspection, and book a ticket for Utica, New York, to see everything live. The listing will expire in three weeks, so you have enough time to check the car in person.

Restored 1968 Chevrolet C10 SWB Has the Right Crimson Over Tan Mods to Make It Enticing PC Classic Cars, a Sherman, Texas-based old-school dealership, has an interesting proposal for General Motors fans in general and Chevy C/K enthusiasts in particular – a restored and modified 1968 Chevrolet C10 SWB 'Action Line' pickup truck.While the Chevrolet C/K series of trucks first appeared in the 1960 model year as the replacement for the Task Force models, it truly came into its own, starting with the second generation that appeared in the 1967 model year. Designated as the 'Action Line' by General Motors itself, it mostly used the same drop-center ladder frame and coil-sprung rear axle but came with an extensive redesign of the body to make it more capable as a multi-purpose vehicle.

As such, it not only could work on the farm or on the construction site but also had standard or optional features from Chevrolet passenger cars – such as automatic transmissions, dual-tone paints, interior carpeting, or AM/FM stereo systems. Naturally, fans of the early Chevrolet and GMC C/K series will eagerly seek out these models – so here's an option.The dealership just listed this 1968 Chevy C10 SWB that went through a thorough restoration and also features a bunch of worthy upgrades (yes, it's a restomod – but a light one), so it's no wonder it has merely 120 miles on the odometer. Naturally, those are of the "actual mileage cannot be verified" variety, but the good news is coming out fast – from under the hood first.

Over there resides a "great running" fuel-injected Vortec 5.3-liter LS V8 engine hooked to a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission. There's also ceramic headers, a dual exhaust setup with aftermarket mufflers, and power steering along with Power 4 all-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, so nobody's going to lack the stopping power or fade it away any time soon.

The exterior is dressed in red with full chrome trimming, and inside, there's a custom Saddle bench seat interior with aftermarket Classic Auto Air AC, while on the outside, there are staggered 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties aftermarket wheels shod in massive 255/45 and 315/35 tires. The additional features include a column shifter, a tilt steering column with Forever Sharp steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, a Pioneer audio system, a cold air intake, an in-frame fuel tank, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, plus a very nice ride-but-don’t-roll setup.The latter consists of a CPP 3/5 lowering kit, C-notch, adjustable Panhard bar, and a 12-bolt differential. Additionally, the floors and the frame are painted to make it less prone to rust. Naturally, the dealership wants a good deal – the asking price is no less than $55,500. So, what do you think? Is it worth it or not when a 2025 Chevy Silverado WT starts from a little over $39k?

1970 Plymouth Superbird Barn Find Emerges With Replacement Block, Eye-Watering Price

19/07/2025

Owner Abandons Restomod Plans, 1960 Impala "Never Driven in Ohio" Is Up for GrabsImpala sales were increasing, and the 1960 release brought another increase, with Chevrolet eventually selling close to 1.4 million units built for the 1960 model year.The full-size lineup accounted for the lion's share, as customers liked the refreshed looks and the varied engine options.

The base choice was still the 235 six with 135 horsepower, while the top configuration was the 348ci unit with 335 horsepower. It was a hefty engine option that carried a $333 price tag, and collectors are willing to pay big bucks for a specimen in perfect shape today.

The 1960 model year was no longer available with a fuel-injected engine.

The 1960 Impala in these photos is fitted with a 283ci engine, and despite the base unit not serving as the most intriguing choice for someone interested in a project, the owner says they never cared about it. The 283 was supposed to go, as they bought this Impala with restomod plans in mind, albeit they did not reveal what engine they intended to install in the car.

The vehicle is still in good shape, despite struggling with typical classic car issues.

The paint looks surprisingly good from a distance, but it shows its problems as you get closer. It'll need some attention, and so will the metal, as you can easily spot signs of rust in the photos shared on eBay by seller micksmick2. It's a typical classic car project, but the owner promises that the floors, the trunk, the doors, and the frame are all in good shape.

The interior needs a complete refresh, but the original seats are still inside. At first glance, it looks like there's still a chance to keep this Impala original, but it'll need extensive work in all the typical areas.

The engine under the hood starts and runs, so if you want to keep the 283, you can do this without much work. A good mechanic should still inspect what happens under the hood, but going for a more powerful engine, such as a 348, is probably the easiest way to make this Impala more intriguing.

The car was born and raised in California, and it still has the original license plates, with the owner insisting that it has never been driven in Ohio. This explains the solid condition of the metal.The Impala landed on eBay with a reserve, which is still in place after 11 bids. The top offer is $5,240, and with 35 people also watching the listing, there's hope we're not far from the moment where Internet users will unlock the reserve. The auction will end in 6 days, and people interested in checking the car live must travel to Stow, Ohio. A trailer will be needed to transport the car to its new garage.

Man Buys Pontiac Firebird to Restore, Finds 30-Year-Old Bottles Inside, Decides to Sell1981 was the end of another Firebird generation, and as it happened in the previous year, sales went down even more.Pontiac sold approximately 71K cars, and the Trans Am remained the best-selling version in the entire lineup. However, even the TA collapsed after the 1979 record when it sold over 117K units, with the 1981 performance witnessing only 33,493 cars being shipped to buyers in the United States.

The base Firebird continued to be the runner-up with 20,541 units, while the Esprit was third with 10,938 cars. The Formula was the least ordered in 1981, accounting for only 5,927 cars.

A 1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula landed on eBay earlier this week thanks to seller dixiestampede82, who posted the car as he decided to let it go. The listing reveals that the Firebird was originally bought last year, but the man never got the chance to check it out thoroughly, so it's been sitting in the same place since the acquisition.The car looks solid, and the body will need the typical classic car attention. The interior is described as intact, but as anyone can tell from the pics, it's not in its best shape, and some parts have already been disassembled. The owner found 30-year-old bottles in the backseat, and we all know what this means. This Firebird hasn't moved in a long time, and this can't be good news for someone planning a complete restoration.

This is why I always recommend a complete inspection before making an offer. This Firebird looks doable, but unless you see it in person, it's difficult to determine how much work it needs and how much it'll cost to bring it back on its wheels.

The engine under the hood is as mysterious as possible, as the seller explains he never tried to start it. The drivetrain appears complete, so find a good mechanic to check what's under the hood because the seller claims he hasn't "verified whether the engine or transmission is original or in working condition."

This Firebird is a solid project requiring work in all the key areas, and the owner says the only reason for letting it go is the number of projects he's working on.
However, the selling price will eventually make a huge difference between a car that everybody ignores and a highly desirable specimen. The Firebird can be yours for $6,500, and considering 115 people added it to their watchlists, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone eventually paying the full price to save the car.

Meanwhile, the car remains parked in Powell, Tennessee, and considering its condition, the buyer will need a trailer to take it home. The listing will expire in 8 days, unless someone clicks the Buy It Now button earlier.

1969 Plymouth Road Runner Flexes Rare Feature, Nasty Surprise Under the HoodIntroduced in 1968 as Plymouth's most affordable muscle car, the Road Runner sold 44,303 units in its first year in showrooms. In 1969, the nameplate moved a whopping 81,105 examples. As sales dropped toward and into the Malaise Era, 1968 remained the Road Runner's best-selling year.As a result, the second-year version is also the most common. The classic car market is flooded with examples in solid condition, and many of them aren't very expensive either. However, that's not to say that all 1969 Road Runners are ordinary. The lineup includes three versions that are genuinely rare.

The Hemi Road Runner is the first that comes to mind. An expensive option at the time, the 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi found its way into only 787 units that year. This number includes 432 manual and 355 automatic cars. The 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) Six-Barrel V8 is also a rare powerplant. The mill found its way into only 1,412 examples (810 manuals and 602 automatics).

1969 also marked the introduction of the convertible body style. The ragtop was far from popular, and Plymouth sold only 1,890 units. Unlike the hardtop and coupe, the drop-top is rare regardless of engine options. The base 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) V8 model, for instance, moved only 1,880 examples. For reference, Plymouth sold 31,397 coupes and 45,629 hardtops with the same powerplant.

The other 10 convertibles were shipped with the 426 Hemi (four manuals / six automatics). For some reason, no Six-Barrel convertibles were produced.

The T7 Saddle Bronze Poly example you see here is not a Hemi, but it packs that rarely-seen soft top. It also sports the rarest transmission for 1969 convertibles. The four-speed manual makes it one of only 769 examples fitted with this drivetrain combo. The bronze / tan color combo should take that number into two-digit territory, but I don't have any documentation to prove it beyond doubt. Still, it's a Road Runner you may not see anywhere else anytime soon.

The result of a professional restoration, the Mopar showcases a flawless exterior with like-new paint and shiny chrome bits. Unfortunately, the ad doesn't include photos of the interior, but I'd be surprised to find any issues. However, if you're a fan of all-original rigs, you should know this Road Runner features a few modern enhancements, including a Kenwood audio system with a JL Audio subwoofer.Speaking of mods, the original 383-cubic-inch V8 has quite a few upgrades to brag about. For starters, it has been stroked to 451 cubic inches (7.4 liters). It also features a long list of performance parts, including MSD ignition, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Mopar Performance valve covers, and Ho**er race headers. Oh, the original four-speed manual was also replaced with a Keisler five-speed unit. It's safe to say it cranks out over 450 horsepower.

Yes, this Road Runner packs too many changes to be labeled as factory correct, but at least the block is numbers-matching. It also comes with three broadcast sheets, which is rare.

The selling dealer estimates the Road Runner to be worth $101,000 and is asking $89,500 to let it go. The ad says "realistically priced trades will be considered," but no additional details are offered.

What are your thoughts on this Mopar? Is it worth the sticker? Does it have too many mods to be considered a rare, one-of-769 gem? Let me know in the comments.

1970 Chevelle SS454 Is Pulled To Safety From The Collapsed Barn

18/07/2025

Dealer Uncovers 1970 Challenger R/T Parked for Years, Not the Best News Under the HoodDodge sold over 83,000 Challengers in 1970, and the hardtop was the best-selling model for obvious reasons. It was the most affordable at $2,851, and customers loved this body style on most cars (including the GTO), so seeing so many customers – 53,337 – ordering a hardtop wasn't surprising.The R/T was also a successful model. It accounted for 14,889 units in hardtop configuration and 1,070 cars in convertible form. Dodge also sold SE R/T hardtops, with 3,979 units going live this year.

Prices for an R/T started at $3,266 for the hardtop and increased significantly to reach $3,498 for the SE R/T.

The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in these photos spent years in a garage in southern California, and the people over at American Steel Classics describe it as a "very, very solid car." Models born and raised in California are typically rust-free, but like any other classic, you should inspect this Challenger in person to determine how much work it needs.

The car was loaded with options from the factory, sporting power brakes with discs on the front, a Rallye dash, and the highly desirable Gator Grain vinyl top (also referred to as V1G in Dodge's nomenclature).This Challenger was painted burnt orange and was fitted with black bucket seats, but as you can easily tell with a quick look at the photos, these details barely matter today. The car requires a complete restoration, and a full repaint should be at the top of the agenda.

It's time to talk about what happens under the hood.

Unfortunately, this Challenger is no longer fitted with the original unit, so in charge of putting the wheels in motion today is a 1969 unit. The seller didn't share more specifics, but we know it's a 383ci unit that turns freely. It's unknown if the engine ever received important work, so ask your mechanic to inspect this Challenger and determine your chances of using this engine for restoration.

I'm a big fan of original Challengers, so maybe you can find a period-correct unit should you buy the car and start working on bringing it back to the road.

Saving this Challenger looks doable, albeit it doesn't seem to be an easy project. A professional restorer has the know-how to return the car to its former glory, so fingers crossed that the right person sees this car.The garage wants $31,500 for this Challenger, but it also enabled the Make Offer option on eBay. This means you can use this button to get in touch with the dealership and submit your offer, though I doubt you can get a big discount this time. The vehicle is parked in Celeste, Texas, and you will need a trailer to take it home.
