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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If you missed out on the crazy, live, build of the 48 Hour Camaro, you missed out on a lot. We’ve got video coming over the next few weeks highlighting all the components that went into this build, but until then we’ll be showing you snipits from the build as we went through all the [...]
Car Feature: Bitchin’ Blue Custom 1965 Acadian Wagon

When we saw Dave Show’s 1965 Acadian Wagon, sitting in The Grove at Famoso Raceway during DragFest, we fell in love with the killer stance, insane paint, and cool cruiser vibe. The fact that Dave saw our coverage of DragFest, and thanked us for including a photo of the car in our coverage, was a [...]
Mini-Feature: The Steve Korney Stone-Woods-Cooke 1969 Corvette Blown Gasser

By the early 1970s the traditional gasser, like that of Barb Hamilton we showed you last week, The new generation of gassers used modern bodies, many of which didn’t have operational doors. The cars were essentially turning into gasoline burning funny cars. The catch? Somewhere deep down in their tube chassis were stock frame rails [...]
Car Feature Re-Run: The Granny Goose II Modified Production 1969 Camaro

We’re lucky enough to spend lots of time at cool events either shooting video or photos of neat cars. During the 2009 Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, we saw a D/Modified Production 1969 Camaro called the Granny Goose II and immediately fell in love. Unfortunately for us, we were so busy we were not [...]
Vintage Race Car of the Week: Bruce Larson’s 1966 Chevelle
Posted in Car Features December 28, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

It’s darn near impossible to nail down who exactly had the “first” Funny Car and when it debuted. Dick Landy’s 1964 altered-wheelbase Dodge is most often credited, but different factors of consideration will lead to different results. What we will commit to is the fact that around 1965 and 1966 there were a mess of [...]

Last week we brought you video of Larry Larson’s incredible, Hot Rod Drag Week winning 1966 Nova running its first ever 6-second pass at the The Strip in Las Vegas, which is amazing for a 3,500-pound car that is really street driven. Now, to prove the street statement, we’ve got video of Larry cruising the [...]

Steve and Lisa Caspary’s 1955 Chevy is a full-on, serious show car. So serious in fact, that the shoebox took first place in its category at the Grand National Roadster Show, one of the premier judged car shows in the world for hot rods and customs. There are dozens of detail touches, tweaks, and alterations [...]
Car Feature: Stunning 1955 Chevy Nomad, With Video!

Chevy Nomads are one of the few cars that will be eternally cool. Maybe that’s why Robert “Nick” Nichols wanted one and was willing to wait for it—for 50 years to be exact! Acting on a promise from his wife he was finally able to score a cherry 1955 two-door wagon and put all those [...]

It seems like most guys’ hot rods get put into one form or another and live there forever. You built a Pro Street car in the 1980s and it’s probably still sporting steamroller tires out back and that blower is still sticking through the hood. Greg Frazier is not into that at all. He scored [...]
