There’s just something about an early 70’s Mopar that looks fierce coming down the road and the 1971 Plymouth Duster is no exception.  This no-nonsense A Body is cruise & street ready!

This garage kept, beautifully redone version has all the right stuff and has been with the current owner since 2016.

Drivetrain
A 360-cid topped with an Edelbrock 4bbl carb and long-tube headers is mated to a 727 TorqueFlite 3-speed auto and ending in a Sure-Grip 8.75 rear end.  Fires right up with no smoke and settles into a low rumble through the hi-flow mufflers and true dual-exhaust with chrome tips.  Engine compartment is tidy and well kept.

Exterior
Moving to the outside is a gorgeous, high gloss B5 Blue metallic paint job offset by white stripe decals.  Chrome and brightwork shine well with no pitting or fading.  The all-fiberglass AAR hood sports a fully functional “six-pack” styled hood scoop providing plenty [...]

Nothing says late seventies performance like Trans Am!  With very few American cars left with any grunt, Pontiac managed to keep hope alive even with the advent of more constraining emissions and a slew of low compression, low horsepower performance cars.

Our offering is a beautiful example of a driver/cruise-quality 1978 Trans Am given new life.  This ‘Bird was completely restored to an original condition roughly 5 years ago by a local Pittsburgh restoration shop with only around 200 miles driven by its current owner since completion.

Body & Trim
Beautiful black, high-gloss paint really sets off the new red & gray striping, lettering and “screamin’ chicken” decal on the hood.  Brightwork shines well and is all there.

Interior
Bright red, dyed vinyl interior really pops from the exterior.  No rips, tears or cracks anywhere from the dashboard to the seats to the rear package tray.  Perfect carpeting is complimented with black cloth [...]

Our Offering
A great project car that’s been in the owner’s family since the early 80’s, this ’67 Chevelle Malibu Convertible consists of an early 70’s modified 402-cid engine mated to a Muncie wide-ratio 4-speed with a 12-bolt/4.10 rear end.

The fully operational power convertible top has the original boot and is in great shape with no holes, tears or dry-rot. Latches lock tightly and the rear window is clear and completely intact.  The body is rock solid and painted in 1978 Camaro blue with nice chrome/brightwork. The car also includes the original side moulding and new OEM window felts for the next owner to install if they choose.

Interior retains much of its original upholstery with matching, refinished front seats.  Glass is average and all windows roll and vent as they should.

This Chevelle has been garage-kept for the last 20+ years and needs general maintenance items.  Contact us for more details.

This is your opportunity to get into a classic C2 Corvette at an affordable price!

This 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible runs and drives but needs your skilled attention.  It’s a true “barn find” stored throughout the mid-1970’s to mid-80’s in northwestern PA.  Purchased in 1986 by the current owner, the Vette was driven on a regular basis over the years showing 75,453 on the odometer and has been stored the last 8 years.  The owner recalls the factory engine being replaced with a Chevy service replacement 1968 327/350hp V8, mated to a 4-speed stick.

The Riverside Red paint, chrome and brightwork still shines surprisingly well with the black interior showing minimal wear.  The white convertible top and rear window is solid without rips or signs of dry rot.  Glass is in above average condition and all windows roll as they should.

Structurally, the frame is in need of attention and general maintenance items are [...]

1974 Chevrolet Corvette

L48 Automatic
Some History
The 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is arguably the last of the C3 performance-rated Stingrays still sporting true dual exhaust.  Chrome bumpers were gone to make way for full urethane and the driving experience leaned more toward touring vs. muscle.  The L48 350-cid engine was rated as the best overall performance power plant of all 3 engine choices by Hi-Performance Carsmagazine – “The L48 delivers all the acceleration you’ll ever need on the road in a steady, forceful manner…in addition it runs cool, idles smoothly, and can cruise all day at 100 mph…” Our Offering
An extremely clean, driver-quality Stingray that’s ready for your next cruise (or road trip).  Finished in #74 Medium Red on black vinyl interior, this C3 with the L48 350 mated to a Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic is ready for an adventure.  All factory gauges, A/C, radio and retractible headlights work as they should. The newer exhaust resonators keep [...]

Interesting Facts
Known by Chevrolet as the “Advance-Design” truck, 1954 was a significant transitional design change period for the Chevy half-ton before ending in 1955.  Not many have survived. The first year, a 1-piece windshield and a new dashboard and steering wheel were used. Due to cost, chrome grilles weren’t a popular option so they’re [...]

Some Cougar History
The third-generation Mercury Cougar (1974-1976), introduced both design and marketing changes to the model line.  All third-generation Cougars were offered under a single XR-7 trim level.  The third generation, moving to a 114-inch wheelbase, was the first Cougar to share its wheelbase with another model line. As part of adopting the Torino chassis, the Cougar shifted to body-on-frame construction for the first time.  For 1975, the Cougar saw revisions to its engine as the 351 Cleveland was replaced by the updated 351M (Windsor)

The Cadillac XLR was GM’s flagship luxury roadster available from 2004 to 2009.  This front-engine, rear-drive, two passenger car shares the same Y-body platform as the C6 Corvette and was assembled at the same Bowling Green, KY plant.  With its power retractable hardtop roof, Magnetic Ride Control, head-up display, adaptive cruise control and a 4.6L Northstar V8 mated to a 5L50 5-speed automatic transmission makes for an amazing driving experience.  Accompany that with a luxurious leather and wood-appointed interior, Bose sound system, heated seats and touchscreen and you have a highly sought, limited production Cadillac.
