Slumming It Proper: How To Fix A $300 Oldsmobile Need For An 850-Mile Roadtrip

The Fiero Revival: The Fixing And The First Drive Of A Car That Hadn’t Moved In Twenty Years
The 1985 Pontiac Fiero 2M4 that Ronnie Finger dragged out of the woods of Texas for $100 is, in blunt terms, a brave project to take on. Twenty years does funny things to cars, and it basically means...
A Labor Of Love: The Story Of The Revival Of A 1985 Pontiac Fiero

Regular Sleeper Review: The 2000 Buick Regal GS, 3.8 Liters Of “How Fast?!”
Story time: I owned a Buick Regal GS just like this between 2005 and early 2009. I loved the car to death, and I never, ever would’ve suspected that I would. I traded a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 in...
$300 Charmer: Junkyard Digs Drags A Beater Oldsmobile Home!

Apex Predator: A 1995 Pontiac Firebird That Is Dying To Hit The Apexes!
In nature, the contrast of black and a bright, vibrant color is usually a form of aposematic coloring. Big word, I know, but you know what it means. When you see a black and white furry animal that...
Rescue Me Please: This Donated 1979 Hurst/Olds Is Sitting In A Copart Lot And Is Up For Auction!
Oh, this is sadness. I don’t go on Copart often, but every now and then I’m linked to the site for one reason or another via social media and this time, it’s a heartbeaker. Three...
Money No Object: This 1972 Pontiac LeMans Convertible Has Us Dreaming Of Warmer Days
If you are one of the people who clamor for the first snowfall of the year, I single-handedly blame you for the current situation outside of my front door. It is a misty, gray, muddy mess at...
The Long-Term Project: This 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Has Quite The Story Under It’s Faded Paint!

The Homecoming Rescue: Waking Up A 1991 Firebird After Years Of Sitting
The best part of the story of this rescued and revived 1991 Pontiac Firebird is much more than getting lucky and scoring a pretty decent third-gen F-body for damn near nothing. It has nothing to do...
