Cars, Culture, and the City: New York City and the American Auto Culture
/
Looking for something to do? Are you free anytime between March 25th to August 8th? (Mad_Science isn’t…haha, and yes I’m really allergic to babysitting, it’s a rare condition) If you are anywhere near New York City then you should head over to the Museum of the City of New York. A new exhibition entitled Cars, Culture, and…

Et Tu, Ferrari?
/
If you’ve got even half an ear to the cacophony that is the auto news world, you probably heard a disturbing piece of information from Ferrari earlier this week. No, I’m not talking about the fact that the 458 Italia will be the newest Autobot in Transformers 3 – though that’s unsettling enough in its…

Another week, another great start to the weekend. We’ve been attending CnC Montrose for a while now, but new (old) cars keep showing up. Based on what showed up this week, we imagine it’ll be some time before we’re bored. Hit the jump and let us soften the blow Monday morning dealt you.

Hooniverse Asks- What Country Makes the Best Off-Roaders?
/
Modern four by fouring evolved out of the military work trucks that helped the Allies win WWII. Thanks to the Marshall Plan, even our vanquished former foes have had the opportunity to get in on the game, some initially building near-clones of existing trucks. Over the years since, what were once utilitarian workhorses have evolved into…

Manx!
/
\Spring’s here and it’s time to make the most of it. How better to do that than in the OG Dune Buggy, a Meyers Manx? The seller lists this as a 1960, but Meyers wasn’t selling the kits until ’64, so we’re guessing it’s the Bug that is (was?) the 1960 model. This one looks…

Last Call- It's Winter, So These Must Be The Nationals Edition

This weekend, Pomona Raceway hosts the 2010 NHRA Winternationals. In honor of that event, here’s CSX2248 – one of five dragonsnakes built for drag racing – and the winner of the 1964 AHRA Winternationals in Daytona.

V.I.S.I.T. – So, What does a 90% Restored 1982 Imperial Look Like?
/
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…

The Ideal Hell Bus

Q: Why did Helen Keller’s dog kill itself? A: You would too, if your name was “mmmmrrrrggghhh!” Now that you’ve laughed at this incredibly offensive joke, you’ll be headed straight to hell. And what better way to travel to an eternity of fire and brimstone than in this?

LT1-Powered Ferrari 250 – What's Your Take?
/
A few days ago on the ever-awesome Bring A Trailer, they covered the sale of a Ferrari 250GTE (that’s a relatively unloved 2+2 iteration of the 250 model) for a “mere” $38,000. The catch? Gone is the 3.0L v12 and manual transmission, replaced by an LT-1 and 700R4 slushbox.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

[Our beloved Ambersand submitted this some time ago, and due to my own incompetence I somehow missed it, or forgot about it, or lost it. We tried to get it all polished up and ready to run yesterday, but we weren’t quick enough. As such, we’re running it today. Got an article you think we’d…

Hooniverse APB- Stolen 2002tii Needs Hoon's Help
/
Okay, LA-area Hoons- keep an eye out for this bumperless 2002tii. A restoration project, it was stolen yesterday near Beverly and La Cienega in West Los Angeles. The license number is 5KUA195, and it has gold honeycomb wheels. Most of the Latte-suckers in West LA wouldn’t know a 2002 from 90210, so more knowledgeable eyes…
