    Just when it appears the world has run dry of barn finds, the internet doesn't disappoint. The latest discovery is none other than a 1966 Ford Shelby GT350H, and the car has sat parked in a garage for three decades. BarnFinds.com reported on the special Shelby on Wednesday, and it was reportedly found in an elderly woman's garage where it languished for years. We don't have much information on the car's life, but at one point, it was involved in a wreck. We can see a few body panels that don't match and a different color door on the driver's side. Whoever had been working on the car was...

  • 1970 Speedkore Dodge Charger Evolution

    Imagine a 1970 Dodge Charger with all of the best modifications imaginable thrown in. The result, we'd wager, would be something close to SpeedKore Performance Group's Charger Evolution unveiled Tuesday at the 2018 SEMA show. It's a carbon fiber-bodied beast with a V-8 borrowed from a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, only with power dialed substantially higher. Classic Chargers have soared in value, thanks in part to "The Fast and The Furious" franchise, so SpeedKore, using lessons learned from its previous Charger Tantrum build, decided to build this car from scratch. SpeedKore starts with...

  • 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SEMA show car in Shock color

    The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro color palette is in for a bright new addition. On Tuesday, the brand introduced the Shock yellow exterior color for the pony car, as part of a new Camaro concept heading to the 2018 SEMA show. If the hue looks familiar, that's because it will also be available with the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The brand first showed off the production color for the electric car this past September. However, the color didn't originate on something electric; it made its conceptual debut on the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro AutoX concept, which the brand showed off at the 2016 SEMA show. ALSO...
