Hold onto your hubcaps! This summer, the quaint town of Norwalk, Ohio, will transform into a gearhead’s paradise as Ron Hackenberger, the automotive equivalent of a squirrel with a nut obsession, auctions off his mind-boggling collection of over 700 cars. From vintage classics to downright peculiar rides, every vehicle tells a story. It’s a one-man show with Hackenberger as the star, and with VanDerBrink Auctions steering the wheel, this weekend-long event promises to be an epic road trip down memory lane.

Shelby American is hitting the big five-oh with a roar that would make even a lion envious! To mark this golden milestone, they’ve unleashed the all-new 750-horsepower Super Snake, a beast of a ride that’s more about burning rubber than counting candles. This hot rod isn’t just a car; it’s Shelby’s way of saying age is just a number, horsepower is what counts! So buckle up and prepare for a wild, pedal-to-the-metal celebration of speed, Shelby style.
In 1993, Ford and SVT unleashed the Mustang Cobra R, a limited-edition thrill ride with only 107 examples ever roaring onto the scene. Fast forward two years, and the Cobra R was back, now boasting a 5.8-liter Windsor V8 and a sweet new platform. Only 250 of these were made, and they were more exclusive than a VIP club — you needed a racing license to snag one. So, why the $1M price tag? Well, rarity and a V8 that roars louder than your neighbor’s lawnmower make for a million-dollar combo!
Remembering the classic charm of the ’65 Plymouth Valiant, a Daytona Beach reader fondly recalls his two-door post with a bench seat that was built for adventure. Sporting a Hurst shifter four-speed transmission and a 273-cubic-inch V8, this beauty was a rare find that turned heads and probably a few corners too. It’s a car that defied the sands of time, much like Daytona Beach itself, and brought joy that was as smooth as its ride, making even the seagulls envious.
While putting together the Icons of Design category for the 2016 Eyes on Design car show, I stumbled upon a Mopar gem hidden in Canada—quite literally preserved like a muscle car time capsule. Nestled within the Manny Collection in Ontario, this Hemi-powered 1969 Dodge Charger 500 remains in astonishing unrestored condition. It’s a testament to the owner’s dedication to hoarding vintage horsepower, proving that not all treasures are buried; some are just parked in a really nice garage.
