When the New York Auto Show kicks off, all eyes will be on the new Dodge Challenger Demon, a beast with a body as wide as its tires. Rumor has it, this Hellcat V-8 powered juggernaut is shedding weight in a unique way: by ditching passenger seats altogether. That’s right, this muscle car might only have one seat—for the driver, naturally. It’s the perfect car for those who enjoy the solitude of speed or simply don’t want to share their road snacks!
The Mecum Kissimmee 2017 auction wrapped up with the final gavel drop on January 15, marking the end of a 10-day car lover’s marathon. With over 3,000 cars on the block, it was a playground for bidders, both in person and online, who helped drive sales to an impressive $85 million. This event proves once again that when it comes to classic cars, people are willing to rev up their wallets. After all, who knew that a weekend at the auction could be just as thrilling as a day at the racetrack?
In a scene straight out of “Smokey and the Bandit,” another iconic Pontiac Trans Am has revved its way into the hearts and wallets of car enthusiasts. Sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, this classic ride fetched a cool $275,000. It seems Burt Reynolds’ legacy is still hitting the gas pedal hard, proving once again that some things—like mustaches and muscle cars—never go out of style. Who knew nostalgia could be so profitable?
Muscle cars have always been about power, but traction? Not so much. Enter the 2017 Dodge Challenger GT, breaking the mold as the first AWD muscle car. No more blaming the rear-wheel-drive when you fail to impress at the lights—now you can conquer snowy streets with the same gusto as dry asphalt. Who knew muscle could also mean control? It’s like giving a bodybuilder a pair of ballet shoes and watching magic happen.
