autoevolution 1 Apr 2021, 5:31 UTC · by 25 photos Because no, 1966 wasn’t necessarily the best year for the Impala SS, as its sales dropped by more than 50 percent to less than 120,000 units. The reason? The increased competition from other performance-oriented models, including the Pontiac GTO and even the Chevelle SS 396. But the Impala SS was a head-turner nonetheless, and 1966 witnessed the debut of a restyled grille and new rectangular taillights, as well as new front seats and an...

Rare 1973 Pontiac Trans Am 4-Speed Proves Legends Never Get Old 17 Mar 2021, 8:53 UTC · by 21 photos It’s a four-speed transmission option, which the owner claims “ it looks correct,” though right now, there’s no confirmation it’s the original unit or not. Only some 1,400 such Pontiac Trans Ams have been produced for the 1973 model year, so without a doubt, this example sold as part of a no-reserve auction by eBay user kbs_express is worth checking out closer. Now, there are bo...

It’s a very original 1970 Mustang whose odometer indicates just 8,521 miles (13,713 km). That’s right, t...

autoevolution Up Next   12 Mar 2021, 6:49 UTC · by 16 photos Listed as a barn find because it’s been sitting since 1984, this Mustang coupe comes with the original 289 (4.7L) V8 engine under the hood, and it’s paired with an automatic transmission—also said to be original. The Craigslist seller explains the powertrain still works as expected, though you should obviously inspect everything under the hood thoroughly, just in case some additional fixes are needed. “ It does run and...

Super-Rare 1972 Chevrolet Nova Flaunts a Sky Roof, Just 31,000 Miles 10 Mar 2021, 8:55 UTC · by 25 photos For example, less than 7,000 Novas manufactured in 1972 came with a sky roof, and the most common combination was with black paint. In 1973, the production dropped to a little over 3,200 units, so overall, finding an original Nova with a sky roof isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when the model in question is painted in blue, that is, as Chevrolet installed a sky roof on just ...

Thats where several fixes are needed, especially if the future owner aims for is a full restoration to factory spe...

autoevolution 2 Mar 2021, 6:00 UTC · by One of the worst things that could happen to a car is to be left abandoned in awful conditions. In that case, it’s all just a matter of time until the rust starts attacking the metal and eventually turns it into just a huge piece of junk worth almost nothing. 13 photos The 1969 Camaro that we have here certainly looks like it’s been sitting for a long time. What’s even worse is the car has been parked very close to an area full of vegetation,...

autoevolution Up Next   2 Mar 2021, 5:03 UTC · by 7 photos Americans loved the 1965 Impala, there’s no doubt about it, but as it turns out, some loved it so much they tried to convert the car into something it actually wasn’t. The shorty that you see here is a 4-door 1965 Impala sedan that had been converted into a 2-door for a reason that’s pretty hard to figure out. Thats not only because the car looks, well, unexpected, but also due to the fact that the whole project involves a...

The 3500 GT received several improvements in th...

The 1964 Chevrolet Impala was the last model released as part of the third generation. It came with more subtle visual refinements, and that wasn’t such a big surprise given the GM brand was already working on a full redesign for 1965.
