If you’ve been looking to add a 1967 Shelby GT500 to your collection, but you’ve been holding out for just the right car, prepare to dust off your checkbook and write one very large check. On Saturday, January 19, Barrett-Jackson will auction off a 1967 Shelby GT500 with just 9,841...

Looking back over its past year’s results, eBay Motors has generated a handful of useful lists that provide details on car buying trends across the country. The lists show the top five car brands as well as the top five models traded on the popular auction site in 2012, as well as the ten...

If you’ve never had the pleasure of driving a mid-1960s Cadillac Coupe DeVille, do whatever is necessary to get yourself behind the wheel of one. It’s not that the cars were strong performers, it’s more that they had a ride quality unlike anything else on the road, before or...

Leaks and rumors being what they are, we've been cautious about talk of the LS7 V-8 engine from the Corvette Z06 appearing in the Chevrolet Camaro. We've also been looking forward to--but not counting on--a twin-turbo V-6 engine from GM for at least two years. Today, both of those may be just a bit...

Back in October, James (last name omitted) got a surprise visit from Vaughn Gittin Jr., who showed up driving a new Mustang GT. It wasn’t just any Mustang GT, however, it was a car that James had designed and promoted as part of Ford’s Mustang Customizer contest. Giten was on hand to...

Just weeks after announcing a new Dodge Charger Daytona for the 2013 model year, the brand is back with another new 2013 Dodge Charger model, this one of particular interest to buyers in snow belt states. The 2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport promises to serve up a healthy dose of performance...

Twenty-five years ago today, the last Buick Grand National came off a General Motors assembly line in Pontiac, Michigan. The event also marked the closing of GM’s oldest plant, and despite the fact that dozens of workers were about to lose their jobs just two weeks before Christmas, the vibe...

Muscle cars are loud, juvenile, socially irresponsible and, sooner or later, harmful to your health. Like binge drinking and death metal, they’re an obsession generally meant for the young, before things like raising a family and not frightening the neighbors become meaningful. Or are they?...

When it comes to pro-touring cars, some enthusiasts love the idea of taking a vintage muscle car and bringing it up to modern performance standards. Others feel this is blasphemy, and that vintage iron should only be restored to original specifications; after all, a new Mustang offers a vintage...

The original Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 as a 1964 ½ model, making its public debut on April 17 at the New York World’s Fair. Back in the day, it was traditional for automakers to launch new cars in January, so the Mustang’s late appearance gave it the half-year model...

In 1968, American Motors introduced a short-wheelbase, two-seat sports car called the AMX that many saw as a shot across the bow of the Chevrolet Corvette. Despite serving up reasonable performance (especially when equipped with the 390 cubic-inch V-8, rated at 325 horsepower) at bargain-basement...

The problem with most barn find stories is that they generally start out with “I knew a guy who’d heard of a guy whose neighbor bought a mint-condition Cobra at a garage sale for $500.” The further away from the point of origin, the taller the tale generally gets. In reality that...

Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor has become the brand’s best selling performance-enhanced pickup in the United States, winning over buyers from coast to coast. It’s earned fans overseas as well, including China, where pickups traditionally aren’t seen as status vehicles. Until now...

If you’re a fan of the current Mustang body style who’s been saving his lunch money to buy a 2014 Boss 302, we’ve got some bad news for you: the Boss 302 won’t be back next year, meaning that Ford is adhering to its promise to build the car for just two years. The news comes...

For the past 10 years at the SEMA show, Sony, together with the people behind Gran Turismo, has picked a winning design that eventually appears as a playable car in its next version of the popular Gran Turismo video game. This year the winner was this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 hot rod, which was...

If you’re a Chevy Camaro fan on a limited budget, chances are good there isn’t a Camaro ZL1 parked in your garage. In fact, you may not even be able to pay the monthly tab on a Camaro SS 1LE, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your existing Camaro go faster, stop shorter...

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham probably wouldn’t have been the first guy to pop into our minds when the task of designing a SEMA concept reared its ugly head. Nonetheless, Dunham is a car guy with a penchant for Mopar muscle cars, and we’ve already seen evidence that he can...

After first previewing it as a concept three years ago, tuning firm Lingenfelter has now finally unveiled the production version of its LTA Camaro, which muscle car fans will recognize as being a modern interpretation of the Camaro-based Pontiac Trans Ams of the 1970s. The car made its debut in...

This is the first Hot Wheels car that will be sold as both a toy and a real car.
