Classic Cars

Classic cars have never been more popular but the trend hasn’t pervaded the world of pickup trucks like it has, for instance, sports cars. That won’t be the case for long if companies like Legacy Classic Trucks, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, continue to sprout up. You may recall the...

Continuation Cobras have been part of Shelby American's core business model for a while, but AC—the firm that made the Ace that Carroll Shelby turned to for his ferocious sports car—is just now getting in on the game. AC is set to build just nine cars built to the same specs as the...

Think you can really drive well on ice? Odds are that traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, and perhaps even all-wheel drive are helping turn you into the hero that you actually aren't. Still think you have the goods? Jaguar-Land Rover is giving you a chance to prove it, or better...

If the best thing you can do with a car is to drive it, then the best thing to do during Monterey Car Week is to drive a classic. I can think of no better place to drive a classic than at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, so I packed up my 1956 Lotus Eleven sports racer and headed to...

Old film cameras are hopelessly overrated. Fabulous magazine covers have been shot anonymously with smartphones; "geniuses" have shot with disposable film cameras, yielding photos only slightly better than I took on my seventh grade aquarium field trip in 1992. (Yet, Terry Richardson still gets...

This video clip is your 1990s dream car wall poster come to life. On the Japanese show Best Motoring, the team managed to wrangle a truly awesome array of machines for a flat-out track battle. The location? The famed Tsukuba Circuit in Shimotsuma. The cars? How about a Ferrari F40, a Ferrari 456GT...

Monterey Car Week is a hotbed for classic cars, many of which are there to go under the hammer. The bidding at this year’s event, which took place in mid-August, was a little more subdued than in recent years, perhaps finally signaling a cooling of the collector car market. Total sales came...

Motorsports has evolved considerably from whence it started. That's a massive understatement, of course, but the point is to get you thinking about what racing was like in the old days. You can jump back a decade to when Formula One cars packed insane powertrains. Go further and you'll find Group B...

It started at 6:21 a.m. when Marc Behaegel's 1954 Siata 208S Motto Spyder roared to life and didn't end until nearly 8 a.m. when Joan and Bernard Carl's 1970 American Motors AMX/3 Coupe crossed the line. Exactly 185 other cars had passed. Each year, dozens—not hundreds—of people brave a...

Nearly sent to the salvage yard as a 26-year old car, this 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet has led an especially storied—and lucky—history. Its most recent crowning achievement? Top honors at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. ALSO SEE: 2016 Rolex Monterey Motorsports...

Some have heroes with names like Griffey, Sayers, Butkus, Abdul-Jabaar, and Messier. For cars guys, the names are Gurney, Fullmer, Andretti, Foyt, McLaren, and many more. The difference is you can no longer watch Ken Griffey jack a homer, Kareem Abbul-Jabaar sink a skyhook, or Gale Sayers juke a...

One of my dream machines isn't a new Ferrari [NYSE:F]. It's not the latest Porsche. It's not even something like a Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Shelby GT350, or other modern high-horsepower muscle car. It's a Ford Crown Vic. You see, I drive on the Los Angeles freeway system and it's a terrible...

"Hey Porsche 918 owner, your car is good. But this Canepa 959 Generation III is the greatest of all time!" So sayeth my inner-Kanye voice. What you're looking at is the latest and greatest that the amazing team at Canepa Motorsports has crafted. If you're a Porsche fan, you already know all about...

Homologation is a wonderful thing. It's what brings us street-legal, near race-spec versions of some of our favorite icons of motorsports. Today's example is no different, and it hails from the legendary Group B era of rally racing. The car is a 1984 Peugeot 205 T16. It's amazing. It's for sale...

Ferrari’s [NYSE:RACE] 275 was the successor to the automaker’s hugely-successful 250 series, and to many it’s still the definitive Ferrari. The cars were beautiful to look at, incredibly fast and even had a few celebrity owners to boot, one of which was Steve McQueen. One of the...

After wowing crowds with his custom 240Z at SEMA in 2015, Fast and the Furious star Sung Kang has a new project car in the works for this year’s show, and this time he’s enlisted a little help. Kang has teamed up with Alexis, Christian and Tony, all of them students from Alhambra...

The idea of owning a tank is both endlessly appealing and incredibly daunting. You have images of a massive beast rolling on tracks; a vehicle that requires all hands on deck to operate in a safe manner. What if there was an easier sort of tank out there for you to park in your driveway? The folks...

Group A officially ran from 1982 up through 1994, with respect to touring cars. It was a glorious form of motorsport filled with modified production cars. These were machines that saw road-going versions sold to eager customers. Homologation rules are a wonderful thing, aren't they? Well, for the...

Peugeot’s 205 GTI is a 1980s-era hero. Regarded as one of the best hot hatches ever built, the cars dominated not only on the road but also in rally competition, including in top-level Group B events. Peugeot 205 GTIs in good condition are highly sought, which is why it comes as little...

Chip Foose is known for his Overhaulin' efforts and the amazing custom builds that nets countless awards. The Huntington Beach, California-based builder is turning his styling and the fabricating efforts of his team onto a new project that should set Cadillac lovers' tongues wagging. It's a 1939...
