Custom car culture is always changing and evolving, so it's cool to see modern restomod builds that take us back to a snapshot of a different era. This 1966 Corvette was built by Old Anvil Speed Shop as a homage to the style of modifications that was popular in the early 1970s. It has Grand-Sport-inspired flared fenders, side pipes, flake-heavy green paint, a restored set of 15-inch American Racing wheels, and a good old 454ci big block V8. The car was unveiled at the 2025 SEMA Show in the Coker Tire display.

American muscle cars are being maintained, restored, renewed, and restomodded on a daily basis around the globe. From amateur DIY'ers to pro-builders that have last names like: Worman, Johnson, Trepanier, Strope, Brizio, Foose, and etc. - these American muscle car artisans are to be commended for preserving automotive history and keeping these rolling works of industrial design, magnificent mechanization, and art looking great and running strong.

Rhodium is a very rare, bright silver metal known for its hardness, resistance to corrosion, and high reflectivity. As a result of its scarcity, it's also one of the most valuable precious metals, far exceeding the value of of gold or platinum. Given these characteristics, Rhodium seems like a very fitting name for this exquisite '68 Camaro crafted by East Bay Muscle Cars. It features lots of custom metalwork, one-of-a-kind 3D-printed components, an 800hp ProCharged LT4 V8, and an interior that looks like it could've come out of a brand new supercar.

Searching several years in states like Texas, California, and Arizona, Pedro Villa looked for a turnkey 1966 Chevy II Nova that he could purchase and customize to make his own. Years prior he had owned a '66 Chevy II station wagon that had planted the seed for a sporty coupe in his Bowtie loving brain. Low and behold, in 2018 Pedro went to a car show in Whittier, California that was just four miles from his home in Pico Rivera. There he spied the burgundy beauty of his Chevy II Nova loving dreams. 

If you’re restoring or maintaining a classic Chevrolet, you know how rewarding — and sometimes challenging — the process can be. The hunt for authentic, high-quality restoration parts often takes time and effort. That’s why Classic Industries created the Digital Parts & Accessories Catalog — a modern, easy-to-use resource for 1958–1996 Chevy Impala, Bel Air, Biscayne, Caprice, and El Camino models.

Now, finding OEM-quality parts for your favorite full-size Chevy is easier than ever — all from the comfort of your screen.

For many decades, the Chevy Nova SS has been seen as an affordable, blue-collar muscle car. It was less expensive than its sibling the Chevelle SS, and certainly more attainable for the everyman than GM's flagship Corvette. However, recent auction results indicate the value of a clean Nova SS is rising fast. At Mecum's 2025 Dallas Fort Worth auction, this numbers-matching 1970 Nova SS L78 with extremely low miles sold for a whopping $275,000, making it reportedly the most expensive original-style restored Nova of all time.

Keeping car culture alive by sharing the hobby with those you care about, or even dare we say love - makes sense to us. There's nothing like a twisty country road, filled with flora, fauna, the occasional wooden covered or sturdy steel bridge, and a small town vibe to enhance the drives, the memories, and in this case, the father/son bond.

Gearheads often remember the fast cars more than the movies or television shows where they appeared. In many scenes, cool cars outshine the actors, the television scripts, or the movie screen plays. The car chase scenes are often more compelling than anything else. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, who doesn't remember renting the Bullitt video, sliding the tape into your VCR, and having the video cued up at the famous chase scene between the Charger and the Mustang fastback? Roaring engine sounds often eclipse a tv or movie score, if you want to get right down to it. And the sound effects of sirens blaring, cars crashing, sliding out, the General Lee jumping a stream, or burning rubber can even give a car guy or car gal goosebumps and an adrenalin rush right in front of a home or surround sound movie screen.

The COVID pandemic was unpleasant in many ways, but at least one good thing came out of it — it gave a lot of car guys the time we needed to complete our restoration projects. Tom Evans, the owner of this '71 C3 Corvette, says his wife calls it the "COVID Corvette" for that reason. But regardless of the circumstances it was completed under, this is a cool build that has a decidedly old-school restomod approach. In a recent video from AutotopiaLA, Tom showed off the key elements of this project, including a 640hp naturally-aspirated Chevy small block.

There’s something special about your first truck — especially when it’s still part of your life years later. For Nicholas Prior of Holly, Michigan, that bond runs deep with his 1985 Chevrolet K10, a truck that’s been through high school hauls, late-night drives, and countless wrench-turning weekends.
