Time For A Tough One: The $97,000 1957 Chevrolet 210 Fuelie
Time For A Tough One: The $97,000 1957 Chevrolet 210 Fuelie-October 2024

Heads up for another episode of Nice Price Or Crack Pipe, where you make the call on car sellers' asking prices! Last time we were here, 89% of you felt that the seller of was asking way too much, the second-highest Crack-Pipe-O-Meter™ score we've ever seen (after the 92% attained by the ). This time we're going to make the choice more of a dilemma for y'all; it's a genuine automotive icon, recognizable the world over, et freakin' cetera, and it's in great shape. Your heart would have to be a lump of liquid-nitrogen-cooled steel to remain indifferent to a genuine '57 210 with the 283-horse fuelie 283 engine… but is 97,000 bucks a Crack Pipe price today, as the global economic system collapses around us? That's 97 grand you won't have available to buy a fleet of Toyota pickups, a crate of Chinese SKS rifles, and sufficient MREs for a couple years in the hills!

Here Are The Most Common Illegal Things Car Dealerships Will Try To Do
Buying a car from a dealer isn’t nearly as bad as it used to be. Unfortunately, there are still some stores that care more about profit than happy customers and will even go so far as to do some unscrupulous and even illegal activity to make a buck. Here...

At $55,000, Could This Custom 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Put You At A Distinct Advantage?
At $55,000, Could This Custom 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Put You At A Distinct Advantage?
Most Aston Martins over the years have carried the DB name, a homage to the cottage car maker’s one-time owner, David Brown. Today’s Aston eschews that tradition, as well as that of British reserve in its bold choice of wheels. Let’s determine if its price is just as cheeky....

At $18,999, Is This 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 A Mack Daddy?
The ’71 through ’73 Mustang was large and in charge. Perhaps a little too large it seems as the next version was puny pinto-derived Mustang II. Today’s Mach 1 is a throwback to that last big hurrah. Let’s see if this pony’s price is still something to cheer about....
