There were some truly incredible rides at the 2012 Run to the Shore event held at New Jersey Motorsports Park in April. We oogled the likes of Billy Utley’s all conquering Nova and Jeff Schwartz’s uber-bitchin’ Tempest, but it was this 1973 Chevelle of New Jersey’s Sean Rich that really spun our crank. This is [...]

There’s a lame saying about old drag cars and how they never die and it is total crap. Old drag cars get bent, wrecked, blown up, burned down, hacked up, and restored to factory condition all the time. That’s why one that survives with the total package of history, coolness, a winning pedigree, and a [...]

We remember Mike Meyers for his funny TV characters, being the voice of Shrek, starring in such cinematic hits as, So I Married an Ax Murderer, and generally being as funny as a Canadian can be. Little did we know that the dude is into cars or at least 1980s TV cars, because he commissioned [...]

(Editor’s note: On Monday we are running a story about a bunch of old school turbo drag cars that you have probably never heard of before. This is one of them. We ran this little mini-feature a couple of years ago when we saw the car at the Holley NHRR. Here’s another look. There were [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – Lately we have been featuring sleepers here on BangShift, so consider this our way of breaking that trend. This car is a sledgehammer, both visually and mechanically. It would be impressive enough to tell you that the car was powered by a 604ci Ford engine, but that would be selling [...]

As you know, the guys and girls at Ridetech are always up to something awesome. Whether it is buying or selling cars at auction, thrashing their stuff on road courses and autocrosses across the country or building their next world beater, they really know how to have fun. The crew at Ridetech is closing in [...]

Gary and Pam Beineke have a stable of awesome cars. We invaded their privacy to shoot and video several cars a couple of years ago and we featured those cars a while back. Most of the cars in their collection are Mopars that the couple built from scratch, but there’s one that they just picked [...]

When we got the call from our pal Jon at Tube Chassis Designz that we needed to get down to his shop to see something cool, we jumped in the car and went. We were greeted with one of the coolest single cars we have ever seen. This is a factory stock 1967 Shelby GT500 [...]

When Chad called me breathlessly from the pits a Pomona during the NHRA Winternationals, I figured he had been chasing the ice cream truck…again. As it turns out, he was going ape over this kick ass dragster he spied in the staging lanes. He wasn’t the only one who was smitten by the big block [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – Buick fans, it’s time to tell your friends that “Going Fast with Class” is back! After seven days and seven hundred-plus miles behind the wheel of a 2012 Buick Regal GS, I came away both impressed and relieved. I was impressed with the overall quality of the car, the refinement [...]
