SpeedKore’s Full Carbon Muscle Cars Stun At SEMA

by Kiril

A small Wisconsin shop turned heads at SEMA by building classic Mopars with body panels made almost entirely of carbon fiber — hoods, fenders, even fender flares, shaving roughly 600 pounds off cars already packing supercharged Hemi power. SpeedKore’s builds have since gone from show-floor curiosities to Kevin Hart’s personal fleet, a Fast & Furious movie car, and an actual Dodge parts catalog. Here’s how a carbon-fiber gimmick became one of the most respected names in modern muscle car building.

Chevrolet Corvette 1973 images

by Ross Mills

The 1973 Corvette is the only one Chevrolet ever built with a soft, body-colored nose bolted to a hard chrome tail, and that mismatch was not a styling choice at all. A federal bumper rule landed halfway through the car’s life and forced Chevrolet’s hand, setting off a chain of changes that reached far deeper than the front end. Quieter, smoother, and riding on radials for the first time, the ’73 marks the moment America’s sports car started becoming something else entirely. Read on for what that year really changed.

When Car Guys Decorate The House…

by Wes

Some passions never stay in the garage. When a lifelong love of muscle cars starts taking over the living room too, the results are equal parts hilarious and genuinely impressive — and it says a lot about how far a real collector will go to live inside their hobby.

Chevrolet Impala 1961-1964 Third generation

by Ross Mills

The third-generation Impala arrived in 1961 looking like nothing Chevrolet had built before, and it produced two body styles that collectors now hunt specifically because almost nobody wanted them when they were new. It also produced a 409 that got its own hit song, a dashboard where the temperature gauge was replaced by a warning light, and a 1964 engine option good for 425 horsepower. Read on for what separates the good years from the great ones.

See the USA in a Chevrolet

by Ross Mills

One advertising jingle did more to shape how Americans imagined the open road than almost any single car ever built. It started in 1948 as a song written for a television variety program, found its permanent voice in Dinah Shore, and ran as a Sunday night ritual through 1963. The story of how six words got planted that deeply in the American psyche is stranger, and considerably more musical, than most car fans realize.

Ride in a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 426 Hemi? Why Not!?

by Kiril

Only a handful of cars in history ever left a Dodge factory wearing both a towering rear wing and a 426 Hemi under the hood, and Tom Lembeck owns one of them. The Charger Daytona was not built to look fast at a car show; it was built because Dodge was losing on Sunday and needed something drastic. Read on to find out what Dodge was really trying to prove, and why so few Hemi versions exist.

Burt Reynolds’ latest ‘Bandit’ Trans Am sells for $275K

by Kiril

A black and gold Pontiac Firebird Trans Am built in the image of Smokey and the Bandit sold for $275,000 at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, and Burt Reynolds drove it onto the block himself. It was not the first one he sold, and it was nowhere near the last. The car underneath the paint had almost nothing in common with a 1977 Trans Am. Read on for what buyers were really paying for.

800-hp ‘Yenko’ 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport revealed

by Kiril

Yenko’s name has not meant much on a new car in decades, but a modern stroker build on the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport just brought it roaring back. With a supercharged 6.8-liter making roughly 800 horsepower, wrapped in Grand Sport hardware and genuine Yenko styling cues, only fifty of these were ever built. Read on to find out what’s actually under the skin.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1973 – 25K Mile Original Survivor!

by Kiril

A 25,444-mile odometer reading sounds impossible for a car built in 1973, but this single-family-owned Monte Carlo backs it up with genuine, untouched originality. Chevrolet’s award-winning personal luxury coupe set sales records that year, and this example shows exactly what one looked like before five decades of wear ever had a chance to happen. Read on to find out what makes a true survivor different from a great restoration.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds 1971 images

by Ross Mills

This is the third of just twenty-five prototypes Oldsmobile built ahead of the officially revived 1972 Hurst/Olds, which would go on to pace the Indianapolis 500. The original Hurst/Olds partnership debuted in 1968 before going dormant for two full years, and 1971 also marked the last year Oldsmobile sold the 442 as its own standalone model. The Rocket 350 V8 under this car’s hood carried the same engineering that would define the production Hurst/Olds cars buyers could purchase in 1972.

1966 Ford GT40 Mark V in Yellow & Engine Sound of A REAL ONE

by Wes

Lou Costabile’s My Car Story visits PHP Race Engines Shop in Wauconda, Illinois, to capture a rare 1966 Ford GT40 in yellow, and the video makes a point of emphasizing that this is a genuine example, not one of the countless replicas the GT40’s shape has inspired over the decades. The car’s small-block V8 takes center stage as the real focus. Watch to hear exactly what a real GT40 sounds like, straight from the Le Mans-winning model year of 1966.

by Kiril

Hudsons Rod and Customs is refreshing a 1957 Chevrolet pickup that already wears the shop’s own logo, a client’s truck serving double duty as a rolling advertisement. An LS swap is planned for reliability, while a temporary Cadillac-sourced leather interior holds things over until a fully custom cabin gets built. Watch to see what a custom shop chooses to change on its own showcase vehicle.

Troy LaCrone’s Approach to 7.90’s with a Street-Driven Camaro

by Kiril

Troy LaCrone made his name with a nitrous small-block 1971 Camaro that ran 9.19 at over 140 mph while still riding on leaf springs and slapper bars, a car that looked eight seconds slower than it was. Asked whether he would keep chasing quicker numbers, he said he hoped not. He later posted a 7.7730 average at Hot Rod Drag Week and beat JJ Da Boss on television. Read on for how that progression actually happened.
