Carmine Carbonaro of Staten Island, New York, was not shy about sending Classic Industries some photos of his superb Dark Blue Metallic 1987 Limited Turbo Buick Regal with blue velour interior. As awesome as this sweet American boulevard cruising top shelf muscle car looks, we're ever so happy to share these photos with CI's customers around the globe.

Restoring a first-generation Ford Mustang is one of the most rewarding projects a classic car enthusiast can undertake. But what happens when an otherwise decent Mustang has a nasty patch of rust behind the rear wheel opening? Do you need to replace the entire quarter panel? Not necessarily!

Some classic cars are purchased, restored, enjoyed, and eventually sold to make room for the next project. Others become part of the family, accumulating memories and sentimental value that can't be measured in dollars and cents. For Eddie and Rebecca Solis of Chino Hills, California, their beautiful Cobalt Blue 1971 Chevrolet El Camino falls squarely into the latter category.

There's something downright intoxicating about a classic American muscle car that looks like it means business. Black paint, big rear tires, a nasty V8 rumble, and enough horsepower to make the laws of physics seem more like friendly suggestions than hard-and-fast rules.

There's something magical about an American muscle car with a thunderous V8, a menacing stance, and enough horsepower to make the rear tires beg for mercy. Throw in a couple of turbochargers, a supercharger, or a full-blown racing engine, and things get interesting in a hurry!

Few American muscle cars wear their performance credentials quite as convincingly as a Ford Torino Cobra with a snarling big-block V8 beneath its long, muscular hood. From the sleek, NASCAR-inspired SportsRoof models of the late 1960s to the unmistakable Gran Torino Sport of the early 1970s, Ford's intermediate lineup delivered a compelling combination of horsepower, attitude, and Blue Oval engineering.

Big improvements don't always require big bucks. These five budget-friendly upgrades can make your classic Mustang look better, feel better, and become even more enjoyable to drive. 

There's something magical about sliding behind the wheel of a first-generation Ford Mustang, twisting the ignition key, and hearing that familiar engine rumble to life. Whether your pony car packs a thrifty 200-cubic-inch inline-six, a spirited 289 small-block, a 351 Cleveland, or a thundering 428 Cobra Jet, the experience is pure automotive Americana.

In the streets of Southern California, specifically Orange County around Costa Mesa and the planned community of Irvine, there's a daily-driven prowling cat that knows just where it's at in the American pony and muscle car landscape. The uninformed think it's a funny looking, if not upscale customization of a first-generation Mustang. True gearheads shake their heads at such an outlandishly incorrect assumption. For goodness sakes, the new for 1967 Mercury Cougar was appointed Car of the Year by the automotive scribes at Motor Trend (an automotive car mag of considerable repute back in the swingin' muscle car '60's - in the February 1967 issue).
