Money No Object: 1959 Chevrolet Impala – The Blower Always Wins!
Not one word about how nitrous or turbochargers are better. You know damn well what I mean when I say the blower always wins. It’s not a matter of performance. It’s a matter of looks, of...
Best of 2020: 1954 Dual Ghia Firebomb Concept Car
At the start of the 1950s, Chrysler wasn’t really setting anybody’s pants on fire. Still spooked by the flop of the Airflow, the company had decided to just play it safe and subtle, not...
Best of 2020: 1966 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Car Hauler
It’s easy to take a jab or two at Brian Lohnes’ love of big trucks, but his kryptonite, without a doubt, are Mercedes-Benz Unimogs. At least his rationale behind the obsession is...
Money No Object: 1971 Plymouth GTX Hemi, Triple Black
There was a running joke regarding my father’s sense of fashion: black or white shirt, blue jeans. Robert was colorblind, and he knew that for 90% of the time, that’s all he needed to...
Money No Object: 1969 DeTomaso Mangusta…Shelby?!
The DeTomaso Mangusta is a car whose backstory is about as clear as mud. Few things are solid: there was some deal between Alejandro DeTomaso and Carroll Shelby that went south (hence the name, which...
Money No Object: 1970 Chevrolet Camaro SS L78
It’s a second-generation Camaro. That means that I was already done for, even before I started looking at the details. It’s blue, it’s beyond insanity how clean it is, and it has...
Would You Rather, Pro Commuter Style: Shelby Charger GLHS Or Toyota Supra GT
It’s been a minute since we’ve pinned you into a corner and forced you to pick sides, hasn’t it? Well, no better time than the present to force you to pick one of two particular...
Money No Object: 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30
Do you have a perfect layout for a certain model of car? For example: how many of you think that every 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am must be wearing the Y82 black paint with gold trim and, of...
Copart Cadaver: This 1971 Plymouth GTX Got The Wrong End Of Somebody’s Bad Day
For the most part, roaming through Copart for classics leaves little to the imagination on what might have happened that brought the car to the place where dead vehicles dwell. A 1970 Pontiac GTO...
That’s The Spirit: 1979 American Motors Spirit GT That’s Ready To Rip
So what that it’s a gussied up AMC Gremlin with a tail that’s a bit more palatable than the original. V8, four-speed, and it sounds like it wants to fight. So it came from the wrong end...
Money No Object: Cossie-Cat! This Prototype 1980 Mercury Capri Has The Bad Little Four Inside!
When the 1979 Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri were introduced, Ford was quietly trying to push the Windsor V8 out of the picture. It had been a thing for a few years, starting in 1974 when the Mustang...
Banker’s Retromod: This 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Is Putting A Truck V-10 To Good Use!
Most people can agree that the time period referred to as the “Musclecar Era” started in 1964 with the Pontiac GTO. Right? Well…kind-of. There were overbuilt, powerful machines made...
Would You Rather, The Collector Edition: Hemi Challenger Or Ford GT?
The collector car market is a strange thing to me. I watch what is popular rise, I see what was once popular fade, and I see speculators and those trying to move ahead of the wave snapping up what...
Money No Object: 1976 Chevrolet Camaro “Europo Hurst” by Frua
(Photos: RM Sotheby’s) I’m an avowed fan of the 1974-77 form of the Chevrolet Camaro. In general, second-gen Camaros are a score. Everybody loves a split-bumper car, the Vega-style early...
