Growing up, Tony King and his older brother were always hanging out with their pop in the garage. Their dad would tinker with old cars and teach his sons to become gear heads themselves, while building cars and dune buggies in the latter 1950s and into the '60s.

Fast learners, by the time Tony and his bro were just nine or 10, they could already drive stick shift dune buggies! How many little boys and girls know how to drive manual shift cars these days? Right - not many!

Few events capture the spirit of hot rodding quite like the Grand National Roadster Show, and the 76th annual GNRS, presented by Meguiar’s, proved once again why Pomona remains a must-stop destination for builders, enthusiasts, and automotive history lovers alike.

There are muscle cars - and then there are moments in time cast in American steel. The 1969 COPO Yenko Camaro prototype is the latter. More than a rare vehicle, it is the genesis point of factory-built Yenko performance, the car that opened the door for Chevrolet’s most feared street-and-strip Camaros. On January 17, 2026, at the Mecum Auctions Kissimmee, Florida sale, that legacy was permanently cemented when the prototype crossed the block for $1.65 million, with buyer’s premium bringing the final transaction to $1,815,000 - officially making it the most expensive Chevrolet Camaro ever sold.

Ever wish you could go back in time and buy all your favorite classic cars when they were brand new? Yeah, we do too. But for a few lucky individuals, it's still possible to obtain perfectly-preserved "survivor" examples that have stood the test of time. Comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias recently met with Jay Leno to show off his all-original 1989 Camaro IROC-Z, which has only 400 miles on the odometer. Iglesias says he's going to enjoy driving it, and is not planning to keep the mileage extremely low or hide it away under a car cover — "I'm not the guy who's just going to let it sit. I drive my cars!"

For most people, a vehicle is simply a tool for getting from Point A to Point B. But as enthusiasts, our vehicles are much more than that — they're an extension of our personality. Modifying and accessorizing our cars and trucks lets us express ourselves and stand out from the crowd. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, General Motors leaned into this idea with a wide variety of special edition packages for Chevy and GMC "Square Body" trucks. In this article, we'll take a look back at a handful of the most interesting Square Body special editions.

Among Chevy diehards, the 1963 Impala Z11 is more than just a special-order oddball - it’s one of the most lethal, purpose-built drag-strip predators General Motors ever unleashed. Born during the heat of the early-’60s Super Stock wars, the Z11 was Chevy’s hush-hush, factory-sanctioned answer to Ford’s 427 Galaxies and Mopar’s Max Wedge brutes. Only 57 were ever built, and today they stand as unicorns - mythical, snarling artifacts from the golden era of Detroit performance one-upmanship.

Below is a deep dive into why the Z11 still makes automotive enthusiasts talk in hushed, reverent tones.

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.
