Custom Datsun Z reminds us that the 1980s will never die!
/
If this car was a person, he would be Boy George and Hardcastle-and-or-McCormick’s tabloid-plastering love child. If this car had a theme song, it would be banned for obscenity by Tipper Gore.

Hooniverse is going to the Mecum auction this weekend!
/
That’s right friends, it is time to experience one of these super auctions first hand. My bags are packed, pre-flight…zero hour is 8am. I am heading to Kissimmee, FL this weekend to see how these events shake down. The folks at Mecum have generously provided me with a press pass, but as an added wrinkle…

/
If you started telling most car guys about the tech specs on these little vans, they’d start salivating — provided, of course, you didn’t tell them what vehicle the specs belonged to. For obvious reasons, these little trucks don’t have the best reputation. But let’s take a closer look.

Dieselfumes: Trucks with Automated Manual and Allison Automatic Transmissions; I drive them, to explain them.
/
This past weekend, I decided to try out two different Freightliner Trucks, one equipped with a Mercedes-Benz Automated Manual (AGS), and one with an Allison Fully Automatic, with a throwback shift control. I even included videos, and I never realized how uncomfortable I am in front of a camera. Oh well, it’s time for you…

The Rustman Cometh: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is an Automotive Siren
/
The seller describes this ’73 e9 BMW as “Unbelievable”. The pictures don’t lie, it’s the “Needs a paint job” claim that makes us wary. It does, indeed need a paint-job, in addition to several thousand dollars worth of body work. e9 BMWs (2800s, 3.0CSs and CSLs) are Teutonic Sirens: gorgeous to look at, relatively simple…

$42 grand. That’s it. $42k For a Toronado-powered five-axle rig with a hydrogen peroxide rocket powered land-speed racer on the back. The scale of the picture’s a little hard to grasp, so we’ll help you out: that cab’s only 5.5 feet tall. This rig’s made appearances at Cars and Coffee, and I’ve actually seen it…
