Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Evil, Primered, Weiand-Blown '72 Chevelle Wagon For $7,000?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Evil, Primered, Weiand-Blown '72 Chevelle Wagon For $7,000?-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

The broke the streak of Nice Price verdicts, with only 38% of voters viewing $13,500 as a reasonable amount to pay. For today, we're lowering the price tag… and upping the boost!

Station wagons are cool. Primer paint on a station wagon is also cool. And we probably don't need to point this out, but a Roots supercharger on a primered station wagon is so cool that it's hard to even contemplate without feeling totally inadequate for driving a (insert name of your car here, unless it's a blown, primered station wagon). OK, so that's settled- now we just need to start talking about price. has a low-profile Weiand blower on a 350 (yeah, it's not a Rat Fink-grade 6-71, but we still approve), Torq-Thrust-esque wheels, recent suspension rebuild, a bench seat, and a paint job that looks- and probably feels- like the skin of a whale shark. On the minus side, it still has the original one-legger non-posi rear end, the upholstery is shot, the weatherstripping is bad, and there's no manual transmission. Now, for a 1970 Chrysler Town & Country woody wagon with a blown 440 and a 4-speed, 7 grand would be the steal of the century… but we're not so sure the same could be said about this Chevelle? What do you say?

For $4,900, Is This 1984 Mercedes 380SL Really Ready For Summer?
For $4,900, Is This 1984 Mercedes 380SL Really Ready For Summer?
Are you ready for summer? The seller of today’s 380SL says it certainly is. Let’s see if its priced to let someone have some fun in the sun, or to take you to the dark side. Unsurprisingly, yesterday’s didn’t make the grade. At thirty-grand it proved a little too over...

For $9,000, Could This 2013 Locost 7 Really Be All That Super?
For $9,000, Could This 2013 Locost 7 Really Be All That Super?
Like the Shelby Cobra, there are more Lotus 7 replicas in the world than there are the real deal. Cars like today’s Triumph-based 7 give much the same visceral experience at a fraction of the cost. We’ll have to decide if that’s still too big a fraction. While their Pagoda-roofed...

The 2017 Kia Soul! Makes You Realize How Good A Box Can Be
I’m not sure what it says about our world that the most objectively rational design for a small, useful car—a box on wheels—is considered weird by almost everyone. Kia sells such a car, the Soul. This version, the Soul ! with that stupid , adds a bit of punch to...

2017 Lexus RC-F: The Jalopnik Review
2017 Lexus RC-F: The Jalopnik Review
I feel sorry for the Lexus RC-F. When Lexus released this oddly styled coupe in 2015, everyone immediately compared it to a BMW M4, and collectively pointed and laughed at the car for being heavier, softer, and slower than the Bavarian opposition. Here’s how you should see this Lexus instead:...

2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
The new Plug-In Hybrid is supposed to be futuristic-feeling luxury without the scary unfamiliarly of a pure-EV powertrain or a “startup” brand backing it. The execution—even in a brief jaunt—is impressive enough to convert some electric skeptics in the big executive car crowd. More than that, it speaks to how...
