1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95

This ramp side truck was purchased by Greg Wrobleske of Magnolia, Texas in 2001. He’d been looking for a unique truck to use around his home and since he was already into Corvairs, this model was the logical choice.
Since he purchased the model, he’s given it new paint, wheels, and tires. The engine has been rebuilt and all the mechanicals have been overhauled. The restoration was complete in 2016.

1966 Ford Mustang

Like many, it was Juan Garcia’s childhood dream to own a 1966 Ford Mustang. His dad, a Chevy guy, got him into classic cars when Garcia was still a boy. The elder Garcia has owned a 1966 Chevrolet Impala and a 1972 Chevrolet Corvette.
In 2016, Juan paid $8,000 for the ’66 Mustang, purchasing it from the Mustangs Only restoration shop. He told AutomotiveMap the story:
“Jim Hangley, former owner of Mustangs Only, acquired the 1966 Ford Mustang I now own, from a man in Culver City, California. Jim dedicated more than 30 years of his life restoring classic Mustangs. In May 2016, Jim died from pancreatic cancer. Tracy Fietz, his wife, sold me the 1966 Ford Mustang in August 2016 … and she recited to me the work that needed to be done to the Mustang from a handwritten note Jim left in the glove compartment. Had it not been for Jim and Tracy’s passion for Mustangs, I wouldn’t have my 1966 Ford mustang today.”
Since he has owned the car, he’s given it new brakes; refurbished the transmission; added fresh exhaust manifolds, dual tail exhaust pipes, mufflers, and GT fog lights. There’s also a new radiator, shocks, four-barrel carburetor, radial tires, wires and hoses, interior carpet, and new welded panels under the driver and passenger seats.

1978 Pontiac Trans Am

John Dermody purchased this 1978 Trans Am online in 2015 for $40,000. He wanted to replace the 1977 Trans Am he’d sold in 1980. That one had been the first new vehicle he’d ever purchased and, like they say, there’s nothing like your first time.
He tells the story, “The day I picked it up I had an engagement ring in the center console and proposed to my wife in that car. I have always enjoyed the ride, style and handling of the second-gen Trans Am.”
Since he purchased this ’78, he’s updated the paint, done some interior work, and replaced the wheels. He says, “This car originated in Phoenix ,Arizona and was an Arizona car until 2001. The motor, transmission, body panels, and frame are original. The car is absolutely rust free. I wanted to keep the car as true to original as possible. The car rides and drives as if it just came off the showroom in 1978. After the restoration I’ve never had to do any mechanical work except for replacing an alternator, and oil changes. If the weather cooperates I drive the car once a week to keep it reliable.”

1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Jeff Zurschmeide of Lake Oswego, Oregon has wanted a third-generation Corvette since he was 10 years old. He purchased this model in 2011 for $12,000. How could he not? “I have a weakness for yellow cars, and for the C3 Corvette,” he told AutomotiveMap. “The big swoopy fenders, the roar of the engine – this Corvette has serious panache.”
Since purchase, Zurschmeide has given the car a new paint job, transmission, and brakes. It now strikes a loud exhaust note thanks to a new system. Inside, it sports leather seats from a 1976 Corvette.
“The funniest thing is that people make assumptions about you when you show up in a car like this – but they’d make entirely different assumptions if I showed up in my 1961 Mini Cooper,” said Zurschmeide. “You can’t judge someone by his or her taste in cars – we’re too eclectic for that.”
