Pick of the Day: 1967 Chevrolet Malibu L79
Performance enthusiasts will love it Giant killer. Mopar fans love their 340 small block. People who love Ford blue wax poetic about the Boss 351. Our daily pick is for Bow Tie fans: a 1967 Chevrolet Malibu convertible powered by an L79 327. It is listed on ClassicCars.com by a private seller. In Grand Junction, Colorado. (Click the link to see the list) When the Pontiac GTO was launched in 1964, the new Chevelle couldn't do much about it. Although the Corvette's L76 327/365 was rumored to be on the market, the Chevelle's top engine ended up being a 300-horsepower version of the smaller engine. By 1965, things would change. Introduced for the 1965 Corvette and Chevelle, the 350-horsepower 327 (code L79) was a high-revving screamer that helped make the Chevelle more competitive with the GTO. The 11.0:1 L79 is only available with a manual gearbox and is surprisingly simple thanks to hydraulic cams that find the sweet spot between…

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
when i'm getting ready Heading to Chicago for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, I was in a muscle car mindset. But look at the vehicles below and you'll see there's only one muscle car. It's the least I can do since strong muscle car content is coming. But seriously, who can say no to the Acura NSX? I'd love to drive one. The Gasser is equally new, although I can't say I'd enjoy driving it. Mercury and Pontiac sit in the middle of the two, both powerful in different ways. Which of the four do you prefer? 1959 Mercury Park LaneThe Mercury of the late 1950s would not have been popular with those who were interested in it. By 1959, the Mercury was very similar to its Ford sibling, abandoning show car styling. At the top of the tier is Park Lane, which competes with the Buick Electra and Chrysler New Yorker. If you like catapult fins and upper-middle-class…
Coming to SEMA: Armageddon
Now they do it! Those Europeans at Stellantis - the same people who have stopped rolling out the Hemi for a third time, if not a second for the Dodge Challenger - are now trying to destroy our old car. If you dare to see how, come visit the Mopar display at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Here’s the idea: You know that old Mopar sitting in your yard? Has the one your wife noticed not been touched in 12 years? Mopar wants you to consider sacrificing it for the company's interesting battery-electric vehicle conversion kit. The 1967 Plymouth GTX Electromod concept will be unveiled at SEMA from November 5-8, 2024, and is expected to showcase "the potential of future... e-Crate propulsion systems for enthusiasts to build or modify classic and current cars and truck." The "eye-catching" Frostbite Blue zero-emissions concept features widened rear wheel openings "giving it an aggressive and modern look". Clearly, this predecessor 440 looks…
Pick of the Day: 1967 AMC Marlin
in an industry There has been a trend toward downsizing since the 1970s, exemplified by the 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird, which history proves experienced the opposite as it was upgraded to a four-seat model in 1958. Our pick of the day is another one that's been pushed up a size. . . twice! : AMC Marlin in 1967. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Farmingdale, New York. (Click the link to see the list) As you know, the Marlin originated with the 1964 Rambler Tarpon, a sporty fastback show car based on the new, redesigned American Rambler compact. However, the Americans did not plan to offer a V8 engine until 1966, which may have limited the Tarpon's appeal. Therefore, the American car company decided to promote the production version on the mid-size Classic platform. As you know, this car was launched in 1965 and renamed "Marlin". Despite being a step up in size, the Marlin's proportions…

Pick of the Day: 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback
Ford Mustang were the most important vehicles in Detroit in the 1960s, but which one was the most important? Our Daily Picks are my submissions to answer this tough question. This 1967 Ford Mustang GT 2+2 is listed on ClassicCars.com for sale by a dealer in Green Brook, New Jersey. (Click the link to see the list) If you consider that the 1965 Mustang was the most important year for pony cars, especially the mid-1964 models, they excited Americans more than any other car (despite being introduced very early, both based on the VIN) is from 1965). But the 1967 Mustang—the first redesign—is key to the Mustang's past and future. Let's talk styling first: The 1967 Mustang was very similar to the classic 1965-66 version, but was larger and more refined. The stance is firmer, the styling is more properly integrated (no additional taillights, for example), the interior is more refined (no more under-dash air conditioning), and the options list…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks | ClassicCars.com Magazine
I'm starting to lose interest I started getting into new cars around 2001 when I left an advertising agency in Detroit. Apparently, I no longer keep my finger on the pulse of the market. Visits to international car shows are becoming increasingly rare. result? I've lost touch - don't ask me when the Mustang was redesigned because I'm not sure if it was 2013 or 2014 (answer: 2015 model year). Don't ask me about horsepower over the years. These AutoHunter Picks mostly cater to the muscle memory in my head: classics from another era. But that's not to say my desires are discriminatory, as the Porsche I chose would be a great daily driver and, unfortunately, might make me forget about the classics, as many of you Hellcat Dodge Challenger owners have discovered That way. 1968 Buick GS 400 ConvertibleI wrote about this car in the ClassicCars.com Daily Pick about 18 months ago and now it's featured on AutoHunter -…
Pick of the Day: 1967 Hemi Plymouth GTX Convertible
a few things That's more likely to sparkle in the eyes of muscle car enthusiasts than the words "426 Hemi." These NASCAR-inspired homologation vehicles are expensive and have limited warranties, but they're also the engines by which all other vehicles are judged. Our daily pick is not only a Hemi car, but it's also a convertible, making it one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars. This 1967 Hemi Plymouth GTX Convertible is for sale on ClassicCars.com from a dealer in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. (Click the link to see the list) The GTX was arguably a latecomer, as Plymouth had had equipment to compete with the GTO since 1964, but it took Plymouth several years to realize the importance of image in its marketing. A 383 or Hemi-powered Belvedere or Satellite weren't really ready for the street, and the 383 was no match for the Tri-Power GTO. The 1967 GTX solved all these problems and more. The standard version…
2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Rolls Into Jay Leno’s Garage
What does Jay Leno have You could call his automotive tastes eclectic. His massive garage is home to McLaren F1s, vintage Bugattis and Bentleys, cars powered by steam and aircraft engines, and a few Deusenbergs. Still, he makes time and space to appreciate American cars. He recently invited GM President Mark Reuss to share details on a very special C2 Convertible and the new 2025 Corvette ZR1. Just as the C8 continues the Corvette lineage that came before it, so too does Reuss carry on his family’s legacy at GM. His late father, Lloyd, joined the automaker in 1957, eventually rising to become the company’s president in 1990. During that time, he served as chief engineer for Buick and Chevrolet and became general manager of Buick in 1980. One of the projects he worked on was the Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission, which was found in the 1967 Corvette 427 convertible his son inherited from him and showed to Leno. Like…
Benefits of Owning a Collector Car
In my four-part series I mentioned all the things I learned while driving my 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt. Many of them were painful lessons, but there are actually a lot of benefits to owning a collector car. I've listed some of those benefits below. You did it! A 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible is available on ClassicCars.com Let's face it: most people don't dream of owning a Toyota Corolla (okay, maybe the 300-horsepower GR version). Many of us saw our dream cars as kids or teens and made it a goal to own them. It feels great to daydream about downshifting in a big-block C3 Corvette or driving an F-150 SVT Lightning, but you know what feels even better? Actually owning a cool car that's yours. Every time you go to the garage, you'll see proof of your dream coming true. Good buy Every time you see that car, something different happens. If you're anything like me, whether it's the…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
AutoHunter Picks of the Week Made of American performance cars. Being fast is one thing, torque is another, and that's what makes American performance cars so great. One interesting thing about the latest AutoHunter car listed below is that this 1993 car is powered by a 300-horsepower small-block engine. That number may sound low today, but at the time it was enough to run with many cars from the glory days, and it outperformed all but a few 5.7-liter cars of the era. This means that, believe it or not, horsepower has made a comeback for more than 30 years. 1968 Dodge ChargerWhen it comes to the second-generation Charger, fans fall into either the 1968, 1969 or 1970 camps. Me? I like the 1969 model best, with its neat full-width taillights and grille divider that seems to add a smile to the front. However, the 1968 model is the original, and many people love the round taillights and turbine detailing…
Daily Pick: 1967 Mercury Cyclone GT
Marketing is fun There's a thing - there's one time a company feeds you a name you shouldn't forget, only for you to forget it a few years later. The 1967 Mercury Comet is a perfect example, so we've chosen a 1967 Mercury Cyclone as our Pick of the Day to discuss this further. This car is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Mesa, Arizona. (Click the link to view the listing.) Comet Mercury 1960 When the Comet first entered the automotive world, it was Mercury's version of the Ford Falcon, a completely mundane compact car that set sales records for Ford. The Comet was just as mundane, but it had a more modern look (i.e., rear fins) that gave it a bit more style. And, like the Falcon, the Comet was one of the early barrel-console cars, setting the template for the small car market that would emerge a few years later. In 1966, the Comet…
