When ordinary just won't do

An Original 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang

July 2, 2022 by Paul Crowe

The movie Gone in Sixty Seconds made the "Eleanor" GT500 very popular and there are custom shops all over modifying stock 1967 Mustangs to replicate the movie car which is itself a replica of the original Shelby Mustangs, but while replicas make sense in the movies, the car to have isn't the replica, or the replica of the replica, it's the original, envisioned by Carroll Shelby … [Read more...]

This 1962 Dodge Lancer Pro Street RestoMod Gets a Big Power Boost

July 23, 2019 by Paul Crowe

The 1962 Dodge Lancer is almost identical to the 62 Plymouth Valiant, a few exterior changes, but essentially the same car. We've covered the Valiant before, so when I saw this Lancer, especially one that's been restored and modified for performance, I had to point it out.

The subtle sleeper, a 1969 Chevy Impala SS 427

At the height of the 1960s muscle car era, manufacturers were combining high horsepower engines with almost every car in their lineup. Ford had their 7 litre Galaxie and Chevy built the Impala SS 427. This one from 1969, is completely restored to almost the exact factory condition, with a few slight, though reversible changes, looking exactly like a brand new car would have … [Read more...]

1990 Buell RS1200 With Low Miles and Many Engine Upgrades

September 12, 2016 by Paul Crowe

1990 Buell RS1200

The RS1200 was one of the earliest Buell motorcycles offered, built long before Harley Davidson had any interest in the fledgling company. Based around the 1200 Sportster engine, the RS1200 was a far better handling bike than any Harley, but it really needed more power. The owner of this Buell took care of that. The seller says: This engine alone has had over $10K … [Read more...]
