Our week long photo tour of the massive Dezer Collection Museum in Miami, Florida continues today with a look at the huge number of American classic cars, military vehicles, odd rods, and even some weirdo cars from eastern Europe that we had never seen before. As we’ve been telling you all along, this place is [...]
We’ve been taking you through the massive and diverse Dezer Collection Museum in Miami, Florida this week and we continue today with this gallery of some seriously neat stuff. One section of the museum is dedicated to a huge gathering of antique motorized bicycles that range from really old to ancient. There are Whizzer bikes [...]
Miami, Florida’s Dezer Collection car museum has a massive grouping of famous movie and tv cars like one of the original Batmobiles (#3 made), a General Lee, the Monkeemobile, a Starsky and Hutch Torino, and on and on and on. With the sale of Batmobile #1 for 4.2 million dollars over the weekend we decided [...]
While I was waiting for Chad to show up in West Palm Beach for the 2013 PRO Winter Warm Up last week, I shot down to Miami and took a tour of the massive Dezer Collection car museum. I shot almost 600 photos while at the museum and will be sharing them with you throughout [...]

(Photos by Mike Westfall) – Steamtown USA, located in Scranton, Pennsylvania is one of the finest collection of vintage steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, railroad history, and cool mechanical stuff that exists in America today. Recently, BangShifter Mike Westfall went there and he sent us more than 150 photos of the grounds. At over 60 acres, [...]

The 2012 PRI show is in full swing at the massive Orlando Convention Center and there’s LOTS of great iron to oogle on the show floor, in various booths, and even in the lobby of the building. Unlike the SEMA show, you’re not going to find a lot of stuff that is just blinged out [...]
(Words by Tommy Lee Byrd Photos by Tommy Lee and Christina Byrd ) - If you’ve been watching Bangshift for the past couple of months, then you’ve likely seen an event gallery by Tommy Lee Byrd. He gets around to a lot of events, and has a few hot rods of his own, so he decided to [...]
(Photos by the Petersen Museum) – During the height of the era featuring multi-talented race car drivers, George Follmer may have been America’s brightest star. The man competed in NASCAR, Can-Am, Formula One, Formula 5000, Trans-AM, and other series becoming a two time Trans Am champ and one time Can-Am champ. In 1972, those two [...]
(Photos by Joe Grippo) – Yesterday, we brought you the first of two galleries from within the confines of Fleming’s Junkyard in Egg Harbor, NJ.

(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) – After the SAAC show, we made our way into the Antique Auto Club of America Museum to check out the latest exhibits. It seems we caught a small portion of the 100 Years of Chevrolet display (which ended the previous week). We also spent some time drooling over a [...]
These dudes are nuts. I mean we love watching wheelstands, and nothing is more fun than driving a car that pulls the wheels hard, but given the incredible wheelstand it takes to win the Byron World Power Wheelstanding Championships, you have got to have no fear or destroying your race car. We haven’t been there [...]
(Photos by Greg Rourke) – It has been too long since we’ve unleashed some good old fashioned tractor and old engine goodness. Greg Rouke is a man after my own heart as he took the time to photograph the cool tractors, equipment, and old engines at the Lyon Farm show. While Chad may break my [...]
(Photos by D.V. Klenak) – If you have not heard of the ChumpCar World Series, you must be living under a rock. The low buck, high fun, racing series has been around for years and they run races all over the country from January to late December. The basic premise is that the car you [...]
