This Monster Jeep Grand Cherokee Celebrates A Win In Virginia By Launching It’s Hood!

Those victory celebrations can sometimes be more painful than initially perceived. Ask any NFL player that has had to pay back a five-digit fine to the league for having a little fun after scoring a...

Money No Object: This 1986 Dodge Charger Is One Mean Little Mother…What 2.2?!

The “Charger” nameplate has proven to be one of Dodge’s ultimate model names. The image of a horse that has no fear of battle might be lost on the buying public, but make no...

Roadkill! It’s The Rescue And Thrash Of The Dirt-Track Dodge Challenger!

Rough Start: This 1977 Dodge Power Wagon Has The Look And Is Ready To Roll!

The Dodge D-series truck…other than minor bits here and a facelift there, between 1972 and 1993, it’s pretty much all the same. Same frames, mostly the same bodies, and generally the same...
