1965 C-10 in the Odyssey Booth at SEMA

I really liked this Chevy pickup built by Street Customs & Restorations of Mooresville, NC. I especially liked the look of the red engine bay on a black truck. More pics and a quick video after the jump!

1965 Ford Cortina with a Honda S2000

At some point a S2000 lost control and wrapped the back end around a tree or pole. Unfortunatly the body was lost but the S2000’s heart got a second chance. The 247 horsepower F20C found a new place inside the engine bay of a 1965 Ford Cortina. The F20C is using all factory wiring and ECM. Also installed is a full roll cage and upgraded suspension to help this classic iron in the turns. The car currently weights 1,800 lbs which is roughly 1,000 lbs lighter then a S2000.

2010 Saleen S281 “Leaked” Before SEMA Debut

Yeah, I’ve got mixed feelings about the 2010 Mustang redesign–I want to love it, but with its melted contours and bubble-butt, it’s kind of been doing the opposite of growing on me. However, if anyone can make the best of Mustang design, it’d have to be Saleen. Fragmentary teaser pics of the revised S281 have been floating around for awhile now, but with just a few days to go before SEMA kicks off, full images of the hot new Mustang have found their way onto the...

RENE ORTEGA (RANACHILANGA) hat dem Pool ein Foto hinzugefügt:

Tryied an early sixities sensation in the process of this beautiful 1961 chevy, I must say it was my favorite in the whole participants list.

This has been my best Carrera Panamericana ever, and I have just missed one since 1988.

1977 Dodge Colt / Mitsubishi Lancer Promo Video

It’s the late 70s and the public is clamoring for smaller, efficient cars. Sadly, your portfolio consists of a series of monster land barges where even the smallest offering is several times the size of a Honda Civic. What’s the best way to regain market share? Smuggle some Mitsubishi Lancers into the country and replace [...]

Think you can do better? Then start documenting your project and enter next year!

32-Second Escort Engine Swap

The Royal Marines don’t mess around, and this high-speed motor-and-trans swap makes me wish such things were permitted in the pits in NASCAR. But I call a bit of bs: if the car’s front end is anything like the US Escort’s, you have to disconnect the lower ball joints and swing the wheels way out to plug in the half shafts. But despite the shortcuts, it’s worth a view. Via Jalopnik.

5 Steps for painting Vintage Hot Rod Door Art by Andy’s Pinstriping

Andy from Andy’s Pinstriping gives us 5 Steps for painting Vintage Door Art on Shop Trucks   1. The first thing I like to do is use some wax and grease remover and clean the panel to be painted. This simple step is honestly one of the most critical and most often overlooked steps in any paint [...]

750hp 2010 Camaro? A tire maker’s dream car

Question: So what do you do with a couple of tuned-up 2010 Camaros on a fall afternoon in upstate New York? Answer: Attract a lot of attention to yourself (or yourselves) and burn about 25,000 miles off of some very expensive 305/35/ZR20 rear tires. You might remember our post a couple months back about the fledgling DeNooyer Performance/Redline Motorsports effort that produced the thundering 600hp HTR Camaros. The cars are 2010 SS Camaros, with warmed up LS7 crate engines – the powerplant in...

1985 El Camino Sporting a Caddy Bum on eBay

This is a confusing piece. isn’t it? Normally people turn stuff into El Caminos by adding a truck like bed. Few people actually modify the Elky to be more car like. The seller of this creation is one of the few. See the eBay auction here. Talk about having two faces. Up front there’s the boxy, angular 1980s styling and out back there is the swoopy early 1990s Cadillac bumper, tail lights, and trunk lid. You can open the trunk, which extends all the way to the back of the cab with...

20 Years Strong

Sometimes it’s really hard to believe that the high tech R32 Skyline GT-R is now over 20 years old. The R32 is just one of several iconic Japanese cars that recently have crossed the 20-year mark. Others include the S13 Silvia and the NA chassis Mazda Roadster. Surely these cars will be the “nostalgics” of generations to come. The car in the photo is the Auto Gallery Yokohama R32, seen at Tsukuba Circuit last year. By Mike Garrett

50 Years Of Mini: "One badass little car"

Nein, ich bin immer noch kein Freund von dem neuen Mini. Ich kann mich mit dem Modell einfach nicht anfreunden. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass ich zu lange das alte Modell gefahren bin, und ich in der modernen Ausführung die eigentlichen Gene vermisse.

2009 Formula Drift Finals: A Champion, a Tribute, a Standout, a Stalker and Hampsha

The 2009 Formula Drift season is in the books and what a wild ride it’s been. At times it even felt out of control, like a Crown Vic careening backwards down a hill with no steering wheel while your hands are tied behind your back (see Wrong for reference). And yet somehow amidst all the chaos and cacophony they created there were the drivers and teams at the center of the storm hanging it all out with reckless abandon. And yet as a hapless spectator I am continually amazed at constant...

993 Kills the Bullitt on CarDomain

The Porsche dominated our first eBay Motors Showdown. I guess that shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, though of course, as many people pointed out, the Bullitt will be much cheaper to own and mod over the year. Still, used 911s are pretty tempting these days, and the 993 is many people’s favorite air-cooled Porsche. Anyway, I think we’re gonna have some fun with these eBay Motors Showdowns. Again, anything goes as long as the prices are fairly close and it seems like a fair...
