Streetwalker: Separated at Birth Edition
/
It’s easy to loathe badge engineering and derivative styling, but the indisputable fact is such endeavors provide an interesting study into how simple tweaks change the appearance of otherwise identical cars, and seek to satisfy individual whims. On the bad end of badge engineering lives the infamous GM J-car with a Cadillac suit woefully inadequate…

Hooniverse Asks- What Automotive Accessory Do You Wish Was Still Around?
/
Brodie knobs (or necker’s knobs to you lotharios), those little sandbag ashtrays, nodding-head chihuahua dogs for the parcel shelf – like the conestoga wagon, these, and many more automotive accruements seem no longer in fashion, or obsolete. But that doesn’t mean we can’t pine for them.

Hooniverse Asks- What Are Your Car's Audio Choices?
/
I have a buddy – he goes by the name of DamnElantra about these parts – and his car lacks any audio or video accouterments, preferring to pair his driving adventures with the dulcet tones emanating from his Hyundai’s exhaust, rather than from something bought at Crutchfield. Do you share his aversion to mobile electronic…

Un Proyecto Grande: Un Maserti Mexico

Porque vivimos in la ciudad del Los Ángeles, a veces tenemos que practicar hablando o escribiendo en español. Hoy tenemos un oportunidad con un Maserti México. Este Mexico tiene un V8 de 4.2 litros y un caja manual. Esta in condición muy crudo con mucha roya, pero viene con unas cajas de partes…probablemente casi todos que se necesita, menos los mas raros.…

Streetwalker- Tride OK C10
/
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.

While Bangkok may have an international reputation for anything-goes debauchery, apparently their taxi drivers take a dim view of such activities. Image source: [Imgur.com]

Probably Not the Best Z, But Not a Bad Deal
/
Sorry it’s been a little slow today. Uberbird work and real life and all that getting in the way. Given today’s Hooniverse Asks, this screaming deal of an eBay/Local Classifieds ad seemed apropos. We’ve got a 1970 240z in rough, but generally serviceable shape. If you go for the full price, it also includes a spare…

Last Call- Where Have I Seen You Before? Edition
/
The other night I was watching the Nick Hornby-penned film An Education. And while Carey Mulligan enthralls and Peter Sarsgaard reaffirms his place as Hollywood’s creepiest actor, what really made the film for me was the great period cars that littered the screen. One in particular stood out, that being the Bristol 405 that Sarsgaard’s…

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The Chevy Cameo Carrier
/
There was a time in which the Pickup Truck and the Passenger Car were nearly the same, sharing their chassis, drivetrain, interiors, even their forward sheetmetal. However, during the 30’s and early 40’s, the Passenger Car and the Pickup Truck became increasingly divergent, with Cars stressing style and comfort, while Trucks stressed simplicity and utility.…

Last Call- The Full Cleveland Edition
/
Nothing special, just a ’69 Mustang with four 351 Cleveland motors. This “Mach IV” exhibition racer is owned by Jill and Gary Weckesser of Delavan Wisconsin, and a lot of the machine work was done by Gary himself. The stats are as outrageous as the visuals- four engines, four-wheel drive, 7-second quarters at an average…
