If you are someone looking for attention, this is the way to get it. The 1978 AMC Pacer shown below and in even more detail after you hit the link to the RacingJunk ad is a pretty unique machine. We’re not 100% crazy about the color scheme, but that can all be fixed easily enough [...]

We’re not going to lie, BMW M3s are always sitting somewhere on our “want” list. Anyone who wants to make claims as to how the BMW M3 isn’t awesome to drive can suck it, because they are. We had friends in college with old ones and those things took punishment like you wouldn’t believe and [...]

Stock eliminator drag racers largely take a lot of pride in the looks and condition of their cars. Stockers retain so much of the OE interior and exterior pieces that they just ooze muscle car cool. This one is head and shoulders even above that. This car was originally a 383 powered 1970 Challenger, and [...]

That’s right kids, this week’s Saturday content will be focused around freaks. Some good, some bad, and some just too weird to figure out. This truck falls under the good category. While lots of snobby jerks want to discount the world of mud bogging and mud racing this huge Ford is proof that at the [...]

Posted in Racing Junk Find December 31, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

For many years the IROC (International Race of Champion) Series was a big deal to both racers and fans. Drivers from all different disciplines of racing were pitted against one another in identically prepared cars. One year would be Camaro bodied machines, Porsches, even Dodge Avengers and early 1990s Daytonas were part of the program. [...]

We want a Monster Truck bad. Really bad. I love them. I want to drive one. I want to jump one and do slap wheelies and all that. I want to yell and scream when I get out of it after winning freestyle against Maximum Destruction. Here is one for sale on Racing Junk that [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Mechanically Cool and Aesthetically Bizarre Survivor 1960s Kustom Creation
Posted in Racing Junk Find August 30, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’re not going to lie here. There are very few 1960s custom cars that we “get”. This is not one of them. While this car is a very awesome study in custom car construction of the era and mechanically it is a really bitchin’ piece with a Jag chassis, four carbed Buick nailhead engine, etc, [...]

If you own a hot rod shop that specializes in old school builds, do we have a deal for you! There is a guy in Billings, Montana selling the most amazing collection of stock, rusty, patina ridden, 1930s Chevy and GM cars we have ever seen. Panel trucks, sedans, coupes, even a 1.5 ton truck [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Bad Ass, Street Legal, Chevy Desert Pre-Runner Truck With Decorated Baja History
Posted in Racing Junk Find August 9, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

In an earlier life, the truck you are looking at won the 1987 SCORE Baja 500. Back then it was run as a bruising Class 8 truck and was the featured star of ABC’s coverage of the 1987 Baja 1,000 race. After a long life as a Class 8 competitor, the truck was completely blown [...]

Well this is full on bad-assery to the highest order here! A classic 1968 Barracuda stuffed with a 500ci modern Pro Stock engine and all kinds of full boogie chassis work from Rick Jones Race Cars in Illinois. Sadly, this car was being built for a man who passed away before it was completed so [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Turbine Powered 1983 Datsun 280zx

Historically, the only Datsun Z-cars we have cars about were the one jammed full of snotty small block or rumbling big block engines. We can now add another variation to that theme with the finding of this crazy ass car. The owner of this flat black machine took the stock engine out and replaced it [...]
RacingJunk Find: A 1965 Coronet Packing A Naturally Aspirated Keith Black Hemi!
Posted in Racing Junk Find July 13, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
When we saw this 1965 Coronet drag car for sale on RacingJunk it struck us as a cool and very clean nod to the cars that terrorized drag strips in the middle 1960s with modern touches. It obviously has some serious rubber out back and the way it is launching in the wheels up photo [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Fantastic Survivor 1962 Chevy Bel Air Wagon With 409 Power!
Posted in Racing Junk Find June 29, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

This is one hell of a cool wagon and it is a survivor with a 409ci twist. The body, paint, interior, gauges, etc, are all 100% as delivered 50 years ago from Chevrolet. The transmission, a three speed manual shifted on the column is also a 100% original piece, but the 409ci single four barrel, [...]

First, an admission. When we saw this ad on RacingJunk for the first time we kept it to ourselves and did our damnedest to sell a non-vital organ for the asking price of the car, which is $42,000 bucks, give or take. As it turns out, we couldn’t get that kind of dough for our [...]
Racing Junk Find(s): A Pair of Outlaw Garden Pulling Tractors That We Totally Want
Posted in Racing Junk Find May 31, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

Laugh if you want, but owning a modified garden tractor that is powered by either four cylinder Honda motorcycle engine or two stroke snowmobile engine is kind of on our bucket list. We were looking for such machinery on RacingJunk yesterday and found two very different, but very cool tractors that would be riotous to [...]
