The 1967 Plymouth Satellite, riding high on the Chrysler “B” platform, was the Belvedere’s snazzy cousin, sporting a new grill and flashy taillights to boot. Not content with just good looks, this mid-priced charmer offered a choice between a 2-barrel or 4-barrel carburetor for its standard 383 engine. Available only as a 2-door hardtop or convertible, it’s like the Satellite was saying, “Who needs doors when you’ve got style?” A hearty thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the snazzy pics—they’re out of this world!

Oldsmobile built some of the most potent Muscle Cars of the era, and the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 4-Speed Convertible is no exception. This beauty roars with a 370 HP W-30 455 V8 and a close ratio Muncie 4-Speed transmission. It’s so rare, even unicorns get jealous—with only a few ever built featuring the W27 aluminum rear axle. Its story traces back to its original order by Robert “Rug” Kazley at Hansel Olds. Talk about a car with a pedigree!

Attention, gearheads: the Goodguys 25th East Coast Nationals car show returns to Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck from Friday, June 9 to Sunday, June 11, 2017. The event features over 1,500 hot rods, customs, classics […]

Step right up, car enthusiasts! Feast your eyes on the Ford Model T Bucket Roadster 1923, a timeless classic with a modern twist. While original steel bodies are as rare as a unicorn at a car show, fear not—fiberglass has your back! Under the hood, a roaring 350 CID V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission awaits your command. Priced at a mere $23,995, this roadster is ready to race off into the sunset. Click the link, and let the nostalgia-fueled adventure begin!

Meet the Oldsmobile 442 from 1969, a muscle car so rare it makes unicorns look like common house pets. With the W-30 Outside Air Induction setup, this beast doesn’t just roar—it practically sings a rock opera! And get this: only a handful were originally sold in Canada, which means finding one is like searching for a maple leaf in a forest of pines. So, buckle up and prepare for a ride that’s more exhilarating than a moose on a motorcycle!

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.

Is this the most sought-after Muscle Car ever made? Chrysler workers only put 11 of these Hemicuda convertibles together back in ‘71, and the breakdown of options and colors puts this as one of 2 […]

Driving the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R feels like holding a thunderstorm on a leash. It’s probably the greatest Mustang ever built—like taming a wild stallion with a penchant for speed limits and a distaste for quiet neighborhoods. This beast roars to life with a soundtrack that could wake the dead and your neighbors. With a V8 engine that seems to have its own rock concert, the GT350R doesn’t just drive; it performs, leaving you grinning like you’ve just found the last parking spot at a sold-out concert.

The 1966 Pontiac GTO, affectionately dubbed “The Goat,” didn’t just break sales records; it kicked them to the curb with a whopping 98,946 units sold. Despite Pontiac’s attempts to market it as “The GTO Tiger,” the quirky nickname stuck like gum on a shoe. With two beastly V8 engines and four transmission options, this car was a gearhead’s dream. The tri-power option met its demise midway, replaced by the XS engine, but it didn’t quite roar with consumers. Only about 35 XS beasts were unleashed by the factory!
