/
This past weekend my favorite curb-side used car lot brought forth a cornucopia of interesting iron. Not only did we come across the time capsule Mercedes 240D, but half a block down sat its polar opposite- a Chevy C10 pickup truck.

USSR: Unbelievably Sweet Soviet Rallying
/
From about as long as there have been cars, there’s been racing. The Iron Fist of Bolshevism held Russia in its steely grip for most of the 20th century, and anemic Soviet cars were the only things around. So when life hands you a Lada, you go rallying!

Dart Charger Is Not a Typo
/
Turns out before the Charger that came before the Charger that Bo and Luke (and Daisy!) made famous there was a Dart Charger. The Dart Charger was a rare special edition (supposedly 480 built) of the generally unloved mid-60s Dart sporting a hi-po 273V8. 10.5:1 compression, a 4 barrel, 4 speed and posi rearend in…

How Fast is Your Watch?
/
Watches and cars have a long, wonderful history together. Iconic automakers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston-Martin, and Mercedes-Benz have teamed up with the best and beautiful from the horological world.

No Good Can Come of This: 1965 FiberFab Aztec
/
This is certainly not a “true” Porsche. While the lines of this Fiberfab Aztec kit have a decent mid-60s supercar look and the feasibility of scary-fast VWs is well known, we’re still doubtful you’d ever have a car that wouldn’t be laughed at as soon as your opened the gullwing doors or tilt-back hatch. But…

Holy Crap; Now that's what I call a Big Pickup!
/
The years between 2003 and 2008 were known for a lot of things, but will most likely be remembered as the era of extravagance.

/
Aston Martin is one of Britain’s most prestigious and historic car companies, forever linked to Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, surviving the 70’s after a close call with receivership, and prospering under the guidance of the Ford Motor Company.
