And The REAL Buttonwillow Histrionics Winner Is... The Mr Bean Austin Mini!
There wasn't much question that the Index Of Effluency trophy (which goes to the team that totally overachieves, given their questionable choice of car) would go to one of the two 1960s British cars. More » -

No Prince Of Darkness Jokes, Please: British Vintage Race Cars In Action
Fine, go ahead and break out the Lucas Electrics jokes. But there's no denying that a factory-racer '69 Ford Escort looks amazing on a race track, and Vintage Racer has some great shots for us.

1965 Austin Cooper S
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. You might have a hard time finding the car in the photo above, since it's about the size of a toaster, but that tiny red object is a right-hand-drive Austin Cooper S. I chose 1965 as the arbitrary model year for this one, but my not-so-comprehensive Mini expertise places it in the 1963-69 era. Experts, please weigh in (and, yes, this could easily be some kind of Frankensteined Cooper S clone, in which case there's no telling). More » -

PCH, Red, White, And Blue Flames Edition: Austin America Or Rambler American?
For the first time, a single car part beat an entire car in a Project Car Hell matchup, according to the results of our most recent Choose Your Eternity poll. Today we're going to celebrate the Fourth of July, but not by getting all liquored up and firing large-caliber handguns into the sky. No, we're going to celebrate our freedoms by sentencing ourselves to years of thankless labor in the garage, on vehicles so patriotic that they're literally named after America. More » -

Project Car Hell: 1961 BMW 700 or Three 1955 Austin FX3 Taxis
The $10,000 Acura NSX ran away with 62% of the votes in Friday's Choose Your Eternity poll, though the Corvette put in a good showing (and it's unfortunate that the late-in-day timing of PCH made it impossible to give Graverobber Commenter of the Day recognition for this methtastic Inland Empire tale, because he totally deserved it). Today we're going to look at some projects that, ifby some miracle you ever managed to getfinished, would give you the highly coveted "weirdest car in town" status that true Hell Project aficionados seek. There's no common theme, other thanmiseryobscurity andslippery slope leading straight to the abysslow price of admission, so let's see how a single Bavarian stacks up against a threesome of Brits!

PCH, No Blood For Oil Edition: Veggie Oil Peugeot or Hybrid Austin Marina?
The French car beat the German one in our last Choose Your Eternity matchup, which means we need to give France's cross-Channel rival an opportunity to snatch the PCH Trophy (which features several rods hanging out the side and a spreading pool of oil below) today. We're going with something a bit different this time, however; ever since the What Should Mad_Science Drive To Work QOTD, we've been thinking about non-petroleum-fueled car projects. Not boring ol' electric cars that can barely buzz up to highway speed, or seen-one-ya-seen-em-all veggie-oil-powered Mercedes-Benzes, though. Something fun! Something... HELL! More »
