Missed It: Bewinged 1973 Chevy Laguna Inspires TransAm Fantasies
/
Ever found yourself attracted to someone or something when you know you shouldn’t be? Such is this 1973 Chevy Chevelle Laguna.

Seriously, I…

/
A discussion ran around One Hooniverse Plaza yesterday (by which I mean a bunch of email volleys between our parent’s basements) regarding the potential of a Back to the Future remake – which you know somebody’s planning out there somewhere – that raised the question: what current car would get the Delorean’s role?

/
We received this outrageous little morsel from DamnElantra (Thanks Man!) of a Custom Tatra 603, that was turned into a Coupe, with an 80’s monochromatic paint scheme applied, a rear tail spoiler, doing its best interpretation of a Czech Drug Lord’s vehicle of choice.

A Faded Patina of Intrigue

Few tragedies are as poignant as those of storied lives meeting undignified ends. Such appears to be the case with this poor panzer veteran serving time with younger relatives on an ignoble car lot in Allentown, PA. You may recall this location as the site of our FC-150.

Attention SoCal Hoons: It's Your Duty To LeMonize This Ford
/
You’re looking at a 1975 Country Squire with a 460ci V8. In stock smog-compliant form, it likely wheezed out 180hp right before they parked it 15 years ago. Luckily, after tons of cheater parts mildly modified with some junkyard parts you the output could be upgraded substantially. Ford Wagons are great because they’re essentially a…
