Hooniverse Weekend Edition – Another Potential 24 Hours of LeMons Candidate; A 1963 Falcon
/
As you may or may now be aware, I ran the 24-hours of LeMons in a 1963 Corvair 700 Sedan, complete with the infamous Powerglide Automatic. Well, it has come to my attention that a similar car, also built in 1963, would be the perfect car for a potential team (on the west coast) to…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – Hot Rod 1986 Chevy Astro Van in Craigslist
/
Starting off this Sunday Edition of Hooniverse Weekend, I will continue combing through the Hooniverse in-box. The Chevrolet Astro was a very long lived compact van that was introduced as an answer to the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager twins in 1985, and were discontinued only recently (at the end of the 2005 model…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – A Pair of BMW Art Cars on Craigslist
/
Well, we just had a listing for a tasteful BMW 5-series, so to be “Fair and Balanced” as the Fox News of Automotive Journalism (Tim, I Kid, I Kid) here I present you the other side of the BMW Spectrum. This is not one but TWO BMW Art Cars. Are they worth the money?

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – A 1976 BMW 530i; Is it worth $3,900?
/
Here at Hooniverse, and at many car based blogging and news sites, the BMW 3 and 5 series vehicles are at the top of the list as desirable, or the gold standard when it comes to comparing other cars. BMW used to build sporting machinery for the driver who places driving above all else, with…

We at Hooniverse have some of the best fans on the internet. Want Proof? Well we received this tip from Steve Cabella about a lost treasure (well, treasure is in the eye of the beholder…) found in Berkley, California. The fact that it was rediscovered in Berkley is absolute karma.

Hooniversal Dream Girl – Hellé Nice
/
Luckily for the racing masses, Mariette Hélène Delangle, or as she was later known, Hellé Nice, was born on December 15th, 1900 in France to some pretty unassuming parents. Mom was a home maker, dad the local postman. This lovely woman didn’t start out as a racecar driver; in fact she was the polar opposite,…

Celebrate Canada Day in a Very Big Way
/
Today is Canada Day, and as the token Canadian here on staff, it’s up to me to recognize the event. And, in the spirit of Canada’s peaceful nature, low crime rates and generally civil populace — with the exception of Vancouver, of course, because they’ve always been a bunch of f***-ups — we present an…

Mystery Car

Our mystery cars have been identified quite quickly lately, even when we show you just a sliver of sheetmetal. So this week, we’re hobbling those of you who have eidetic recall of the lines and curves of every car body. Rather than shrinking your view of the body even further, we’re removing the body all…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Van?
/
Whether Pedo Bear or Matt Foley, everybody loves themselves a van. Maybe it’s a creepy panel van with frEee cAndy scrawled on the side, or perhaps it’s a Sprinter driven by a guy named Gunter who has exorcized all the crap Dodge branding for its original three-pointed stariness. They’re all pretty awesome for both apartment…
