    Despite their ability to pull something like 4 million pageviews in a day, actually pay their staff, or even send them all over the world to cover car shows and the like, there’s a reason we’re glad we don’t write for Autoblog. It’s you (plural): dear readers. Jump to get to the point…

    Quite the box you’ve got there, dude. “apex’i powerfc – $400” Huh? It’s like “Name That Part“, but less fun. Apparently the seller no long needs it because he’s “gone aem ems”. Good for you, man.

  • 1963 V8 Falcon Sprint Convertible is the Stray You Have to Take Home

    We’ll open with the stats: 260ci V8, 4-speed, power-top convertible 1963 Falcon. It’s got 5-lug hubs and an 8″ rearend. Quite the platform for a nice classic cruiser. Old Falcons weigh next to nothing, and the 260 would be a nice combo of power and economy, especially hooked to a proper gearbox. With a starting…

    The late-60s “Fuselage” Dodge Charger represents a high-point in American Muscle Car style. Opinions to the contrary will be disregarded. That said, how do you take something awesome and make it more so? Go topless, of course!

    [singlepic id=449 w=650 float=center]We’ve got a plan: you buy copious amounts of Hoonimerch, making us filthy rich. We’ll use the proceeds to build epic garages like these, and you can all come over and hang out. Just leave your crappy non-jaw-droppingly-awesome cars outside, please. And wipe your feet.

    Do you find tha people just don’t take you seriously enough? Be it in traffic or at the office, they just see you as a total pushover? Need to convince those around you that you’re not to be trifled with, but afraid that showing up dressed as a member of GWAR or getting a face…

  • Slow Car Fast, Eh? How About This One

    You’re looking at a 1969 Bedford CA Dormobile Camper Van. It’s got 4 berths and a 1.6L engine that likely makes all of 50hp. Cute as a button, slow as hell. Drive it fast, if you dare. Source: Bonhams, via Dinosaurs and Robots (which you ought to be reading already)

    comments

    Just a note: the baddest car ever to roll out of 1979 is still available. The owner, Sebastian, has to go back to Germany a couple of weeks and needs to sell the car. We’ve seen it in person and driven it, alas, it’s been decided the Mad_Science driveway and project schedule is too full…

    comments

    We’re always astounded by mismatched levels of fabrication ability. Case in point: the creator of this buggy thing had the means to build this death trap contraption, but elected not to fit it with a windshield, cage or body panels beyond what looks like plexiglass. He (no way this was a girl) apparently has two…
