Mecum Auctions: The world’s largest collector-car auction drops by Kissimmee

by Kiril

At Mecum Auctions, car enthusiasts get the thrill of the chase without a seatbelt. Unlike those hands-off car shows, Mecum lets you rev up your inner speedster at the world’s largest collector-car auction in Kissimmee. Imagine chefs trading recipes for horsepower as they dish on their dual loves: culinary and carburetors. Meanwhile, the Corvette is still the top dog in the premium sports coupe kennel. It’s like a soap opera on wheels, where every car has a backstory juicier than your favorite TV drama.

AMC Javelin SST 1968-1970

by Ross Mills

The AMC Javelin SST, a hidden gem in the muscle car world, deserves a standing ovation—or at least a good restoration! Known for its stylish design and innovative safety features, this pony car debuted in 1967 to compete with the Mustang and Camaro. With a roomy interior, sporty looks, and a 343 cu in V8 engine that had it zooming to 120 mph, the Javelin SST was no slouch. So, if you stumble upon this beauty, don’t just kick the tires—give it the TLC it deserves!

The versatile GM “A” body platform allowed Buick to build a wide variety of cars that shared the same basic backbone and DNA, ranging from meek 6-cylinder 4-doors and post-coupes up through fully loaded luxury […]

Oldsmobile Coupe 1948 images

by Ross Mills

In 1940, Oldsmobile revved up the American auto industry by introducing the first fully automatic transmission, making gear shifting as obsolete as a chaperone at a school dance. Fast forward to 1948, and their model numbering system was as simple as a game of bingo: the first number indicated the body type, and the second, the engine size. So, if you ever find yourself in a time machine, just remember—Oldsmobile was always a “66” to “98” kind of ride, unless it was wartime, then it was just a good nap.

Chevrolet Chevy II-1964 images

by Ross Mills

In 1964, the Chevy II hit the showrooms with the kind of determination only a compact car can muster when it dreams big. Competing with the likes of the Falcon and the Valiant, it was the budget-friendly dream for anyone with a taste for practicality. But alas, along came the Chevelle, the new kid on the block, and stole the show like a flashy new toy on Christmas morning. With larger engines and more gears than you can shake a stick at, the Chevy II was a classic tale of the little engine that could—just maybe not as fast as its rivals. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for preserving this slice of automotive history, one image at a time!

Ford Galaxie 500-1964 images

by Ross Mills

In the ever-thrilling world of 1960s NASCAR, the Ford Galaxie 500 was like the plucky underdog trying to shed a few pounds to keep up with the cool kids. By 1964, it had a makeover, sporting a more aerodynamic look to say, “Hey, I can run fast too!” With a slanted boxtop roof and a new 289 entry-level engine, it was ready to hit the tracks. And if you fancied a little more ‘vroom,’ there was the mighty 427 cu in engine, perfect for zipping past in style.

Why the All-Wheel Drive Dodge Challenger GT doesn’t Pack Hemi Power

by Kiril

The 2017 Dodge Challenger GT has revved up as the first 2-door muscle car with all-wheel drive, but where’s the roar of Hemi power, you ask? Instead of a thunderous V8, it’s a V6 model—like taking a lion and fitting it with kitten mittens. FCA’s decision is a curious case of practicality over power, ensuring the Challenger GT can conquer snowy roads without turning into a drift-tastic spectacle. So, while it might not wake the neighbors, at least it won’t slide into their mailbox!

Buick Grand National 1987 plus “T” type and the GNX

by Ross Mills

Buick’s 1987 Grand National is the final hurrah, a sleek, black vision on the Regal platform. Among the 27,590 Turbo Regals, the lighter WE4 (Turbo T) stands out with its aluminum components. Even rarer is the GNX, with only 547 units boasting special interiors and performance tweaks straight from McLaren Performance Technologies. This “Darth Vader car” sports a turbocharged V6, achieving 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, proving V6s can rule the road, even when V8s were all the rage!

Chrysler Hemi Power- Hemispherical by design-1 of 5

by Ross Mills

Chrysler’s Hemi engine, known for its hemispherical combustion chamber design, first roared into life in 1951 as the “FirePower” and hasn’t lost its spark since. Though not unique, the Hemi’s design, resembling an over-enthusiastic bowl, boasts efficient airflow, boosting horsepower but occasionally coughing up unburnt gases like an old man with a cigar. Originally an experimental military marvel, the Hemi keeps revving high with its distinctive wide valve covers and a penchant for high-octane fuel.

Packard Model 8 -1949 images

by Ross Mills

Behold the 1949 Packard Model 8, a car so luxurious it makes Cadillacs of the time look like mere horseless carriages! Under the hood, it boasts a 327 CID Inline 8 engine, perfect for roaring down post-war streets in style. With a three-speed manual transmission, it offers a driving experience smoother than a freshly waxed dance floor. In 1949, 116,000 of these beauties rolled off the line, proving that Packard knew a thing or two about creating automotive elegance.
