Work Truck Wednesday: Bringing A 1969 GMC Back To Life After Living Out In The Open For Years

Money No Object: Look Twice At This Pro Street 1973 Chevrolet Camaro!

One of my favorite ways to search through eBay is to skip searching by make and model and instead, search by kind of build. “SCCA racer”, “Drag Car”, and so on. You cast a...

Money No Object: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 With A ZL-1 427 Swap

How in the hell am I supposed to do a better job telling you why this 1966 Chevelle 300 is so good than the pictures do? How?! From tip to tail, it’s musclecar perfection: refrigerator white,...

Unhinged: Keep The Rivalries Alive And Good-Natured!

Automakers tend to be rather tame when it comes to advertising of the last twenty years or so. Instead of a hungry Pontiac Trans Am, we get a minivan that is trying to talk itself into your driveway....

Tropical Storm Warning: Special Vehicle Engineering Is Releasing A Reborn GMC Syclone!

The Buick Grand National might have been the first monochromatic badass in black from General Motors, but it was not the last by a long shot. In fact, the next monster in the shadow’s cloak was...

Take A Closer Look At The DSE-Z Camaro, One Of The Baddest Third-Gens We Know!

If you don’t notice the customized logo that apes the IROC-Z lower door emblem, you’d just think that you are looking at a properly restored and slightly built third-generation Camaro. In...

Rough Start: Why Not C4 Yourself? A Budget 1986 Corvette Track Car Is What You Need!

I can find plenty of Camaros, Monte Carlos, even El Caminos and their GM cousins at tracks across the country. C4 Corvettes, however, not so much. Why is that? How has America’s sports car...

BangShift Question Of The Day: The Mid-Engined C8 Corvette…Are You Ready?

I want to start today’s Question of the Day with my own question: do you miss the days when there wasn’t sight or sound of the upcoming new model until the day the dealerships covered the...

American Badass: Petrolicious Takes A Look At Dan Gurney’s 1961 Impala Racer

How much of a threat do you have to pose to a racing series before a behind-closed-doors deal is made that keeps you from coming back before your second attempt? How bad do you have to scare the...

Proper Title: This 1980 Chevrolet Nomad Van Can Be Your Road Trip Roaming Home

In the overall scheme of things, I have to pass on vans for one reason only: they suck to drive. The good, classic van styles, the ones that would otherwise make for a killer build, a great road...

Morning Symphony: A Second-Gen Camaro’s Exercise In Simplicity

We cover a lot of racing events throughout the year. We see a lot of combinations that all work out beautifully. We see nitrous cars that take a dentist office’s monthly supply and turn it into...
