While cruising home from a feature car shoot with Dave Nutting yesterday morning, my dad called to let me know that he stumbled upon an auction site that listed a 2003 Unimog U500 for sale. I thought that was a neat thing to hear until pop said that the truck was at a location roughly [...]

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 [...]

This is not a Jaguar, this is not a Cheetah, this is not a Devin, and unless you know what the heck a Kellison is, you’re never going to guess. When Chad and I saw this car roar down the strip at Beech Bend Raceway last weekend we nearly leaped off of the scaffolding and [...]
Car Feature: Bob Johnson’s ’55 Chevy. Could It Really Be The First To 200 At Bonneville?
Posted in CHEVY August 15, 2012 by Chad Reynolds

Bob Johnson is a character. Not only does he always have something funny to say, but he also has bitchin cars, strong opinions, and a knack for bringing slightly strange cars out to Bonneville in the pursuit of more records. And if the company you keep is the measure of a man, Bob is 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 [...]

Outside of his handiness with a camera, the dude can also turn a wrench and he’s been neck deep on the Buford Project and other misadventures as well. Dave’s 1987 Monte [...]

Now that Nostalgia Funny Cars are sweeping the nation like some sort of nuclear powered wild fire, it seems about time for the same thing to happed with Jet Funny Cars. Yes, we know that is a crackpot assumption, but it is the reasoning that we’d use when trying to convince our wife that we [...]

Bad ass, bitchin, rad, cool, awesome… Not one of these conveys how bad assedly bitchin the Lafferty’s awesome, rad, and cool, 1930 Ford Model A really is. And before you get your panties all wadded up about how it’s not “traditional enough”, SHUT UP! All that matters, is that this IS one of the coolest [...]

After seeing these photos posted on the BangShift forums by member Remy-Z we had to get them in front of the BangShift readership and get your collective opinion. In the interest of full disclosure, we don’t actually hate this thing and there are parts of it, we kinda like. Sure it takes some courage to [...]

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 [...]
Car Feature Re-Run: The King Komet, A 1968 Mercury Cyclone Drag Race Survivor
Posted in Car Features April 26, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

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 [...]

Steve and Lisa Caspary’s 1955 Chevy is a full-on, serious show car.

There are dozens of detail touches, tweaks, and alterations [...]

This is a 1960 Peterbilt truck modified in the spirit of a Fuel Altered/street rod/we don’t even know what. The truck is totally bad ass and amazing to [...]

Barb Hamilton is a woman who truly blazed a trail for females in drag racing. As much credit as Shirley Muldowney gets for “running with the boys” and becoming the first female to challenge the sport’s elite racers, there may be no Muldowney story without Barb Hamilton. Hamilton was the first woman granted a competition [...]
