The Mighty Plymouth GTX
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012
The shapely new intermediate Plymouth was the basis for the GTX and the new Road Runner, part of Plymouth's "Rapid Transit System." While the GTX combined 440 and Hemi power with a classy interior, the Road Runner reinvented the muscle car with a lightweight, bare-bones car with 383 Magnum, 440, or Hemi engines and catchy graphics.
During the 1968-69 seasons, Plymouths struggled to keep up with the sleek Ford Torino and...

The C-2 Corvette
Monday, October 10th, 2011
Just a decade after the first Corvette was created, Chevrolet launched the ground-breaking Sting Ray which is arguably the most iconic American classic car ever created. It featured four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (starting in 1965), which made it handle much more like contemporary European sports cars.
Optional fuel-injection through 1965 and monster big-block engines after 1965 gave it plenty of power. 1963 also...

But after GM's planners got their hands on the car, the result was more boulevard cruiser than racing stallion.
The early (1953-1955) Corvettes suffered at the dealerships from the weak 150 hp Blue...

Thursday, August 11th, 2011
Sports Car Market has chosen the 1967 Ford Mustang coupe of Johnny Walker as the Chubb Collector Car Insurance Car of the Week!
Ford's Mustang brought a higher performance of motoring to the masses, shoehorning V8s into a stylish body based on a compact car chassis. 1967 saw the original design become larger inside and out. Concave tail lamps and a more sculpted side scoop were additional design tweaks.
Johnny doesn’t mention how...

Thursday, June 16th, 2011
Keith Martin's Sports Car Market has chosen the 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova of Ron Cott as the Chubb Collector Car Insurance Car of the Week.
The Chevrolet Nova’s second generation received slightly rounder edges and a less angular roofline than the previous ’62–’65 generation. But what made these cars really fun was their relative lightness. A curb weight of well under 3,000 lbs and an optional V8 gave...
