1971 Ford F100 Pickup Truck

The Ford F100 with a straight 6 engine and a three-on-the-tree transmission was as basic as a truck could be. The only factory option I see here are the upgraded side mirrors. There's a Ford from the 70s on just about every block in Seattle, but this one is particularly nicely restored.

1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Station Wagon

Old wagons are rare. Plenty were built, few survived. Go look for '55 Thunderbird. A search will quickly turn up dozens for sale. Then try to find a '79 Olds Cutlass wagon for sale. There aren't any.

A fair number of Chevelle wagons have survived; it's a pretty cool car. This is a base model Chevelle, it is not the more common Malibu trim. It appears the owner has dropped in the top engine from that era, the 396 V8. Pretty sure it did not come from the factory with that.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette fuel-injected

At least $150,000 worth of ultra-rare Corvette just sitting in the parking lot at South Center Mall. With the 4-speed no less. No armed guards or anything. If it were mine, I wouldn't let it out of my sight for a second.
