It’s not nearly as wide-ranging as yesterday’s supplement sale, but today’s Amazon Gold Box does include big savings on a handful of Vintage supplements, all of which are actually Amazon’s top sellers in their respective categories. I can’t say I know much about these, but the reviews are great, and the label designs…
The VW Bus is a timeless staple of off-road racing in Mexico. It’s– wait, what? Bus? No, that can’t be right. Oh. Oh mercy. It’s a bus alright. Looks like, 50 years after its first run, the Mexican 1000 is still the best place for lunatics to become legends.
Last week a ratty old Mustang was dragged out of a Mexican junkyard that may in fact be the car from Steve McQueen’s Bullitt. Experts now seem pretty certain it’s the real deal. Given McQueens’s god-like status among car guys and the movie’s 50th anniversary coming up, who wants to play Price Is Right?
Before Lamborghini made cars with angles sharper than Wendy’s twitter responses, the Italian automaker made cars that were unquestionably timeless works of art. With examples of Lambo’s vintage roots becoming harder to come by, cars like the ones for sale by comedian Adam Carolla should light fires under the asses of…
The original Toyota Land Cruiser you know as a rugged adventure icon is called the FJ40, or “Shorty Forty” because of its relatively short wheelbase. Since then there have been many Cruiser variants over the years, but the 40’s big brother the FJ45 is one of the coolest and least-appreciated. This restored and…
Building a project car with limited money and skills forces you to find creative solutions to basic problems. But sometimes finding the dumbest “solutions” end up making me feel like a goddamn genius.
Want to feel the satisfaction of doing a comprehensive engine overhaul without getting off your ass? I know I do, and watching this video really made me feel accomplished. Vicariously. Which, today, seems like enough.
In an era that seems dominated by cynicism and corporate greed, the story of some Nissan engineers spending nights and weekends to restore a piece of automotive history “just because” is enough to lift anyone’s spirits. Behold: the 1987 Nissan Patrol Fanta Limon Paris-Dakar rally car, returned to its former racing…
Watch them fly, hear them sing.
Tim Mings, possibly the only full-time Honda N and Z600-mechanic left on Earth, spent a good chunk of this year restoring the very first Honda in America after realizing Serial Number 1000001 was sitting on his lot. Now we finally get to see the finished product.
“The Race of Gentlemen” is like cosplay for reliving the early days of motor racing– primitive engines powering tin can cars and clattery motorcycles, on the beach, driven full-noise by greasy mustached caricatures having the time of their lives.
If you’re not familiar with Adam Carolla, he’s the comedian, director, and rich-as-all-hell car guy that apparently has a soft spot for old Lamborghinis. Well, had, as he’s now selling his entire collection to anyone with a spring in their step and pockets deeper than the Marianas trench. You probably can’t afford…
John Bothwell builds brand-new Bugattis to 1927 specifications, right down to the leather engine parts, so you know he’s got style. He also drove one across the U.S., the long way, so you know he’s insane. But after watching his brainchild Bug’ roll around SoCal I’m starting to think he’s on to something.
If you’re not familiar with the off-road vehicles Australians consider “iconic,” here’s your chance to see how well four of the all-time greatest hold up against the outback. And if you do know these trucks, you know they’ll be fun to watch.
Some say the BMW M3 of the 1990s was a bit of a crap can, impure and unworthy of the “///M” badge. I happen to think it’s a handsome looking car but any way you slice it, there’s no denying the European spec version was superior. This video breaks down how.
The 1970's were a simpler time, friends. And cars just didn’t get put together to the exacting standards we (for the most part) see today. Check out what’s really under the skin of this “rust-free” barn find classic.
Hard to help falling in love with the Eagle Speedster. Look at those lines. The details. The bulge! And with the incorrigibly English Charles Morgan at the wheel, forget it. I’m dead. Take me away. Just please, oh please let me ride an Eagle in heaven.
The Ferret Scout Car is an armored and turreted war machine designed in the 1940s. More than 4,000 copies in some 60 variants are said to have been made, and few of them are even still in military service. But only one has a Chevy V8, long-travel shocks and a freaking winch cannon. Oh, and a racing champion at the…
You know those beautiful Pre-War cars you see locked up in museums? Most people think that’s a real shame, and William Medcalf agrees.
