There's something wonderfully refreshing about a custom classic truck that doesn't spend its life hiding beneath a car cover. You know the kind. A pickup that looks right at home at a Saturday morning cars-and-coffee gathering but is just as comfortable tackling the Monday morning commute. One with enough personality to turn heads, enough horsepower to keep its driver smiling, and enough road miles to prove it isn't merely garage jewelry.

Some muscle cars make a statement before their engines ever fire. Others let their horsepower do the talking. Eric Domanic's green 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS manages to do a bunch of both.

At first glance, the 1968 Chevelle SS represents everything enthusiasts love about Chevrolet's golden age of American muscle. Its muscular body lines, long hood, and purposeful styling helped establish the second-generation Chevelle as one of the most recognizable performance cars of the late 1960s.

What if a children's book about one of America's most celebrated automotive engineers could inspire the next generation of car designers, builders, inventors, and dreamers?

That's precisely the question that came to mind while reading What If? Inspired by Zora Arkus-Duntov and the Mid-Engine Corvette, a delightful, illustrated children's book by lifelong Corvette enthusiast Eric Jacky.

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!
