/
American Muscle and Swarr Auto have teamed up to turn their wrenches on an unlikely project car candidate. A 2005 V6 Mustang has received their attention. I can see the appeal in wanting to turn a V6 into something more exciting. I wish they went a little more on the sleeper side, but the results…

At times, the combination of an enclosed interior and smoke work to your advantage, but once those munchies take hold, wouldn’t it be great if you could grill your wings from inside the comfort of your vehicle?

The Hooniverse editorial gang were having a rather strange chat the other night, and decided we should do something green-themed for St. Patrick’s Day.

/
The problem with searching for LeMons cars is that it’s too easy to come across potential daily drivers. For instance, we’ve got the 65 T-Bird sporting a 300ish HP 390ci, but with a blown transmission. The good news is, usable C6s are like $9, and rebuild kits go for half of that. 390s are easily…
