1962 Land Rover Series IIA

The classic Land Rover Series was produced relatively unchanged from 1948-1985. The IIA was made from '62-'71, but is identical to the earlier Series II. The IIA was extremely successful around the world, and sold very well, and continues to be popular. This one seems to have been fitted with some aftermarket graphics, and sports an amazing patina.

 

 

1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

The 1984 Hurst/Olds was a limited edition muscle car package based on the Oldsmobile Cutlass. It was only available in silver with black stripes, a reverse of the '83 scheme, and with only 3,500 made, it was rare, too. Included with the Hurst package was the special paint, spoiler, and hood scoop. Under the hood was a 180 HP V8, and more performance goodies included dual exhaust and (of course), a Hurst shifter. They were, and are, sharp looking cars, but the limited production numbers means seeing one is a treat. This one is no exception, with its shining silver paint and chrome rims.

 

 

 

 

1976 Chevrolet Monza 2+2 Spyder

Bringing back memories of the Mustang and Corvair with its name, the Monza 2+2's "Spyder" package arrived in 1976. Included was a 4.3-liter V8, special striping and badging, and sporty styling cues. The Monza originally arrived in 1975, intended to compete with the downsized Mustang II, and was based on the Vega. I've always thought the Monzas (and their similar GM cousins) were fairly good-looking cars, and this one, despite the fact it appears to have fallen on hard times, is no exception. Although it has had a non-original (spray paint?) paint job applied, a hint of the original graphics remain on the spoiler.
