The Fox Body Mustang is a deeply nostalgic vehicle for those of us who grew up in the 1980s and '90s. These cars were easy to find at affordable prices, fun to drive, and served as a gateway into the world of high-performance modifications. More than 40 years later, it's no surprise that some Fox Body enthusiasts are willing to spend big bucks to build their ultimate dream Mustang... but would you be willing to pay $280,000 for one? Velocity Restorations, a custom classic car and truck builder in Florida, is offering a new series of turn-key Fox Body Mustang restomod builds for more than a quarter-million dollars each.

Few automobiles invite closer inspection than a 1963-1967 Chevrolet Corvette. Open the hood at a Corvette show, auction, or Saturday-morning cars-and-coffee gathering, and it probably won't be long before someone leans over the passenger-side fender and starts looking for numbers.

There's a good reason.

For Corvette C1 enthusiasts, a string of letters and numbers can reveal the beginning of a car's story.

Is that Corvette really a 1957? Where was it assembled? What does the VIN say about that 1955 Corvette's original engine?

Roadster Shop is one of the forerunners of the pro touring movement within the classic car world. Their low-slung, aggressive, high-horsepower builds have pushed the boundaries of performance by matching or exceeding the capabilities of brand-new supercars. So, when we look at this 1969 Camaro, it's hard to believe that it was built nearly 12 years ago. It has clearly aged well and seems like it'd fit right in at a SEMA Show exhibit today. Roadster Shop even claims it has the first supercharged 650-horsepower LT4 crate motor under its hood.

In 1964, the American automotive industry changed forever with the introduction of a new category of small and sporty two-door vehicles, known today as pony cars. These cars carried the DNA of their bigger and more powerful siblings — the muscle cars — but with a more compact size, economical price, and emphasis on handling over horsepower. Today, many enthusiasts think of the 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang and its subsequent competitors, the '67 Camaro and Firebird, as the first pony cars. But the third member of the Big Three was actually the first one to enter this segment with the '64 Plymouth Barracuda. In this article, we'll take a look back at the first-gen 1964-66 Plymouth Barracuda, which some have called the most underrated pony car of the 1960s.

There are certain engine designations that require little explanation among Mopar enthusiasts. Say "440," and most Chrysler performance fans immediately know what you're talking about.

Every August, the Monterey Peninsula becomes the center of the collector-car universe.

For a few glorious days, seemingly every road connecting Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca become an impromptu rolling car show. Ferraris mingle with Porsches. Prewar classics cruise alongside modern hypercars. Vintage racers thunder through the hills, and automobiles carrying seven- and eight-figure valuations suddenly seem almost commonplace.

Few things can spoil a drive in a classic Corvette faster than watching the temperature gauge climb toward the danger zone. That concern becomes even more important when there’s a heat-producing Chevrolet 427 big-block packed beneath the hood.

Some enthusiasts have a hard enough time keeping one classic Chevrolet in the garage. Mark King of Mattoon, Illinois, has two—and each offers its own interpretation of vintage Chevy performance. His 1967 Camaro SS and 1966 Chevy II SS combine classic Chevrolet styling with small-block V8 power and a handful of carefully chosen upgrades.

If you work with your brain and your hands this could be your creation and your good fun. Civil engineering student and JBA Speed Shop builder Ethan has created a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that pretty much every gearhead on the planet would want to drive and enjoy.
