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?-July 2024

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?

Due to their simple, no-nonsense nature, old trucks like today’s Ford F-150 are still perfectly viable for everyday work and play. Let’s see how this nicely equipped long bed works when we consider its asking price. When it comes to precipitation, hail is the worst. I mean, Gene Kelly...

At $28,990, Will This ‘Phantom Black’ 2014 Audi S4 Stand a Ghost of a Chance?
Today’s S4 comes in an interesting color combination of Phantom Black over a two-tone black and copper interior. That’s all well and good, but it’s what’s underneath the aesthetics that makes this Audi fun. Let’s see if its price tag ruins the party. Ford’s F-Series has topped the sales...

At $36,000, Will This Supercharged 2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe Blow Away the Competition?
The ad for today’s BMW Z4 M Coupe presents the car as mechanically sound (and supercharged), but aesthetically challenged, suffering from hail damage. Let’s see if the divots also put a damper on the price. In certain societies, being stout is a declaration of affluence. The we looked at...
