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.…

If you enjoy having odd little things throbbing between your legs, then this 1959 Francis Barnett may very well fit the bill.

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.

Last Call- One Night in Bangkok Edition

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…

How Do You Say Blown Intake Manifold Welds in German? Turbo 2002
/
Luckily, there are no welds on this intake manifold. It’s cast aluminum from the factory. That’s right: factory. In case you didn’t know, in ’73 and ’74, BMW sold a turbocharged 2002. Packing 170hp in a fly-weight package sounds like quite the recipe for success. This one claims the double-edged sword of low mileage: only…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Are You Supposed to Like, But You Really Hate?
/
Yesterday we asked what you secretly craved (automotively speaking- we already know about your passion for Sweatin’ to the Oldies Parts I, II and IV) and you came through in spades, spilling your guts and scaring the crap out of us with your individualistic proclivities. Today we want to go the other way (and we…

Tata Nano Sales are Hot, But Not as Hot as Tata Nanos
/
Alternately described as the World’s least expensive car, and, what your customer service rep drives, the Tata Nano has had a launch marred by controversy. First was the riot that closed the Nano factory for a time, and then it was the significantly higher price quoted for the upscale European model. And now, apparently they’re…

The new DMC: Sorcery of a Different Sort
/
Quick! If I say “DMC”, you say “12”, right? It’s forever been that way since we met those bad, bad, VW-driving Libyans and learned how to defeat them. Well, after viewing the following video, the acronym “DMC” is going to have to fight more than Libyans for it to solely mean “DeLorean Motor Company”. Apparently…

Dieselfumes: A Screaming Detroit Diesel in a 1967 Kenworth; A sound you will never forget!
/
Surfing some of the other blogs in the blogosphere, I happened to come across Brian Lohnes excellent blog, Bangshift. He closed out Fridays edition with this gem, a 1967 Kenworth W925 with a Detroit Diesel 8V71, and the driver was rowing through an Eaton 13 Speed Transmission. Make the jump to watch both videos, as…
