Sleeper Supreme! This 1985 Chevrolet El Camino Looks Like A Clean Driver, But Is Packing 427 Power Under The Hood!

Here’s how this one panned out: as Lohnes and I sit in Maine cranking out stories, I decided to paw through the Mecum Kissimmee auction that is coming up later this month to find some iron to...

Supra-Powered Corvette. Yup, Here It Is…Because How Can You Argue With 1100 Horsepower?

Best Of 2015: It’s An Imperial, An El Camino, And A Dually, All In One!

Of all of the weird stuff I’ve seen over the years, this one is in the running for the Top 10. Hell, it just might make the top 3, because I genuinely don’t know what to make of it. The...

Best Of 2015: This RWD V8-converted Chevrolet Cavalier Is An Evil Little Sleeper From The Great White North

What is in the water in Quebec? First we find that twin-engined freak of a Pontiac Grand Prix, then we come across this: a Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 that’s been converted to rear-wheel-drive,...

Best Of 2015: Can You Spot Every Way This Homebuilt…Um…Thing Is Wrong?

You are not just looking at a Challenger with a Chevrolet bow tie in the grille. I promise you that I would actually be happier to see that. No, I mean it. See, this was sent to me via Facebook as...

Best Of 2015: This 1980 Chevrolet C-10 Looks Innocent Enough, Doesn’t It? Don’t Trust The Quiet One…

(Editor’s Note: This 1980 Chevrolet has to be the best Craigslist find we saw this year…mostly for the Farmer John looks coupled with a sledgehammer under the hood, but because a reader...

Best Of 2015: This C3 Corvette Is Hiding A Secret That Would Send Both Vette And Ford Fans Into Fits – Meet The Cobravette!

“The devil is in the details,” we’ve heard over and over again. The point of that statement is to slow down and fully appreciate what it is that you are looking at instead of taking...

Best Of 2015: It’s A Turbocharged, EcoTech-Powered, Mid-Engined Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible With Right-Hand Drive, And It’s Wicked!

(Photos: BWC Fabrications) (Note: Easily the wildest car I’ve laid eyes on this year, this Cavalier looks like something I would’ve drawn in the middle of math class in junior high....

Roadkill! The Guys Take Their Circle-Track Racer And Slap Most Of A Monte Carlo On Top, Then Street-Drive The Whole Thing!

It is honestly quite impressive that Finnegan and Freiburger actually had a car that the legal team at TEN refused to let them drive on the street. A few years ago, they had bought an amateur-level...

Best Of 2015: The One Chevy Lumina Z34 That You Do Not Want To Provoke – It’s Really A 4th Gen Trans Am! Meet The Z57 Lumina!

Does anybody really remember the Chevrolet Lumina with positive feelings? Nope, not really. The new-for-1990 Lumina, in coupe form anyways, was the replacement for the G-body Chevrolet Monte Carlo,...

Wile E. Coyote Has Quit Screwing Around: The ACME Twin-Turbo Camaro From Australia, Good For 7-sec Quarters!

Poor Wile E. He fought tooth, nail and every scrap of fur he ever had trying to catch that damned Road Runner. He ran miles, just barely out of reach of the bird’s tail feathers. He landed on...

This Twin-Turbo, Small Tire Impala SS Is A Beast! 4.81@161 In The Eighth Mile!

Is it weird for me to say that the B-body Impala SS is starting to become the forgotten performance car of the 1990s? I know that 260 horsepower isn’t squat anymore, but in 1994 it was a reason...

Rough Start, International Edition: A Clean Chevrolet Opala From Mexico That Is Almost Cheap Enough For A Rough Start!

I’ll admit right off of the bat that I was way off of the deep end when I found myself pawing through Mercado Libre for cars. If you aren’t familiar with the site, it’s essentially...

This Guy Turned A Chevrolet Express Into An All-In-One Bug-Out Van That Can Carry His Dog, His Bike And A Place To Sleep!

Are you familiar with “toterhomes”…the all-in-one deal that packs a roadworthy house and a toy hauler into one unit? Usually they’re based on a semi-truck with the largest...
