Pro Street 1970 Challenger Mini-FeatureBy Chad Posted 01/19/2010
Every once in a while we run across a car we know you would love to see, but that we can't shoot a full feature on due to time or circumstance. Our neighbor, George, has some cool toys, including a clean four-speed 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, several cool trucks, and a really bitchin' big rig. But one of our favorites is his bad black pro street 1970 Challenger. Last week we saw the Challenger parked in his driveway waiting for its prospective new owner to come check it out. We took the limited time to shoot a few photos and bring you this "mini-feature". Enjoy. Read More >
Car Feature & Video: Gary and Pam Beineke's Serpent SRT-71 Dodge Charger By Brian Lohnes Posted 12/14/2009
We have featured several cars from the collection of Gary and Pam Beineke in 2009. Gary and Pam have made a name for themselves in the Mopar community by creating so-called, "what if?" cars. Normally they answer the question with respect to the time period of the car they are working with, be it their 1971 Superbird or the cool 1972 GTX they created from Chrysler styling department documents. This car goes in a different direction. Read More >
Car Feature: Renteria Brothers' 2,000-Horsepower, 6-second, 4-door, '65 Plymouth ValiantBy Chad Posted 08/24/2009
Normally you would consider a four-door 1965 Plymouth Valiant to be a family car, but normal doesn't begin to describe the Renteria Brothers or their bitchin' '65 Valiant race car. When Mike Renteria, the Dad in Renteria Brothers and Dad Racing, first ran his four-door Valiant drag car, he apparently didn't tell his kids that four-doors aren't normally racecars. So, as you can imagine, most people have thought the brothers were a bit strange for deciding to build their own four-door Valiant. And they may have even snickered a bit back when Sean Renteria was running 12s with a mild small-block in the car. They aren't snickering now. Read More >
Hack Job General Lee: So Close We Can Almost Taste It, With Video!By Brian Lohnes Posted 08/24/2009
The Hack Job General Lee, the well publicized '69 Dodge Charger project from Hell, is finally near completion and it may well be the the greatest case of making automotive chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what that we have ever seen. A patient owner and a team of skilled craftsmen have taken a rolling disaster and turned it into a rebel-flagged, screaming orange, push-bar-equipped slice of perfection. Read More >
Car Feature: Jet-X, The 1972 Plymouth GTX that Mopar Never BuiltBy Brian Lohnes Posted 07/10/2009
Here's a car from the cover of the October 2009 Mopar Action magazine, and one that's being debuted at Chryslers at Carlisle, July 10-12, just as this is being posted at BangShift.com. It's Gary and Pam Beineke's brand new creation, Jet-X. This is the 1972 Plymouth GTX that Chrysler never built, it has 440 Six Pack power, and if you are a serious Mopar fan, you'll really respect both the story and execution behind this car. Read More >
Car Feature: Gary and Pam Beineke's Awesome 1971 One of None SuperbirdBy Brian Lohhnes Posted 07/4/2009
A car feature on a 1971 Plymouth Super Bird? You got it. So what if Mopar never built such an animal, Gary and Pam Beineke did, and this one's loaded with a 472ci Hemi wth a Six Pack. Yeah, Chrysler never made a Six Pack Hemi, either. Read More >

Gallery: Vintage Photos of Freiburger's Super BeeBy Freiburger Posted 12/21/2008
As many of you know, a few months ago Chad and I had to close down the old website that used to employ us and also clear out the shop where we'd been working. Aside from the drama of going out of business and losing our jobs, one of the biggest defeats to me personally was that my '70 Super Bee that had been in storage for nearly 10 years would, once again, be relegated to...
