Eurospares Sells Wrecked Supercars, Oh The Humanity

The idea of dropping a mint condition 6.2 L Lamborghini V12 into a mid-engine Vegamino is pure sex, but in order to get there, a supercar must die. How are you going find such a donor? Well, Eurospares seem to be just the place to find those tasty morsels of fine Italian delights. Absolutely wonderful for modern car pickers, but it's damn horrifying to see a burned out 1967 Ferrari 365 GT or the shell of a Maserati 3500. Clicking through the inventory is an exercise in exclaimation: Nooooo! Awesome!

Mercedes Watches SL63 AMG with Edition IWC

Confirming that all Mercedes SL63s are driven by middle-aged men with inferiority complexes and shiny foreheads, the new Edition IWC comes in an exclusive shade dubbed "Designo Magno Kashmir." Confident in our manhood, we'll just call it white and put the IWC Grosser Ingenieur watch it comes with up on eBay to fund some stickier tires. Continuing the camp approximation of manliness, the limited-to-200 drop top comes with a variety of carbon trim options and big wheels, to compensate for the necessity of taking the pale blue pills, which, come to think of it, would be a much more appropriate color.

Ferrari 308 GTB Rally Car Built By MAT

We've never heard of the Scandinavian speed shop Makela Auto Tuning, but we want to be their best friends. These guys are rally and exotic car aficionados of high order, and loving documentarians of their craft. As such there are over 200 images on their site of the transformation of a run of the mill Ferrari 308 GTB into a rip-snorting FIA Group IV spec rally machine. Our only question is why this package wasn't on the options list for the 308? [MAT Project Page] (Thanks Ed)

jalopnik reality garage

Jalopnik's BMW 633CSi

Somewhere on the road between Project Car Hell and the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage is a place known as reality. And since today is apparently BMW 633CSi day, we thought we'd share what our reality is. This is my personal '83 633CSi. It's not quite old enough to be a real classic, and it's certainly not new enough to be a rational daily driver for most people, but I like it just fine. Yes, it may be from the malaise era, complete with huge diving-board bumpers, but it still manages to look fantastic, particularly in this shade of Delphin Grey. Though that's not to say it's a perfect car.

choose your eternity

PCH, Upscale BMW Coupe Edition: 1967 2000C or 1984 633CSi?

In another setback to French dreams of displaying the All-Time Eternal Project Car Damnation MegaTrophy (which turns into a pile of red powder within a few weeks) at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the hybridized British Leyland machine obliterated the Peugeot diesel in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll. The endless battle between PCH Superpowers Britain, France, and Italy will hold a cease-fire today, as we're so inspired by the beauty and coke-dealer-style original price tag of this morning's PCH car that we have no choice but to fill your garage with the sulfurous fumes of two gorgeous- yet maddeningly complex- Bavarian machines today.

Gallery Time: 2006 Antwerp Classic Salon

Yep, sad to say, we missed the 2006 Antwerp Classic Salon in Belgium earlier this month (well, we can't be everywhere, yet — mwahahah). But lucky for you, the secret, mystery Belgian autoblogger and photographer known only as Dijivy was there with a camera, and something previous civilizations knew as "film." It's a novel approach to taking pictures, we know, but those ancients may have been on to something. More »

Drag Night in Dubai

Drag night in Dubai is like an all-you-can-eat buffet at Chanterelle (non-NY residents insert high-priced restaurant of your choice here). Relatives of the ruling Al-Maktoum family, and other well-heeled souls, dispatch an army of flatbeds to cart in their Enzos, Carrera GTs and SLRs, like so many '71 Novas at Englishtown. Lines of Ford GTs, Ariel Atoms, tuner Cayennes and Callaway Corvettes snake from parking lot to drag strip, forming what could be the most expensive lineup since the Monaco Cow Parade. Plus, one guy with a Honda S2000 and a digicam to record the whole business for the rest of us. [Thanks to Christo for the tip.] More »

Hello Rusty Cars: A Flickr Gallery

Notwithstanding the desires of rusty-car fetishists, whose off-hours habits we don't want to even want to think about thank you, rusty-car galleries are kind of a hoot. They're like short historical tragedies, whose narratives are internal and often evident only to the viewer. This one, on Flickr, is more than 1,000 stories strong, most of them starting with, "Once upon a time, long before undercoating..." More »
