What if Carroll Hall Shelby continued his productive and astonishing collaboration with the Ford Motor Company well into the 1980s and '90s, and Lee Iacocca asked Old Shel' to envision, design, and build a Fox-bodied Shelby Mustang? The Foxy Shelby would need to have the quintessential Shelby design and performance that was the stunning success of the 1965-1970 Shelby Mustang GT350 and GT500 variants that tore up the racing tarmac and dealer showrooms of the latter 1960s and helped to vanish the contents of many a gear heads' savings accounts from the past to the ever present. Hmmm...

World famous custom car designer and builder Chip Foose postulates this interesting what if in a YouTube video, sponsored by Hagerty Classic Car Insurance. Stay tuned, motor mavens of the midway and gear heads of all generations! The 5.0 Shelby is on its way. We wish...

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!

Every Chevy II Nova owner starts with a vision.

For some, it’s a factory-correct restoration - the kind of build where every emblem, molding, and interior texture feels like it rolled out of the showroom in the right year. For others, it’s a pro-touring restomod - classic body lines, modern stance, upgraded braking and handling, and a drivetrain that feels alive at any speed. And for many, the goal is the most honest one of all: a weekend cruiser that looks great, runs reliably, and turns heads without turning into a never-ending project.

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.

After selling his Brazen Orange Metallic 2006 GTO, Brendon Vetuskey set out to build something more personal: a classic 1968–70 GTO that delivered vintage muscle car style without sacrificing real-world usability. Living in Los Angeles, that meant a car capable of enduring stop-and-go traffic, summer heat, and long drives - with cold air conditioning and dependable manners.

For Fred Rodriguez of Long Beach, California, this 1955 GMC 100 Series ½-ton pickup is more than just a classic truck - it’s the return of a piece of his past.

Fred owned a similar GMC when he was younger, but like many early projects, it eventually slipped away. What followed was a 15-year search to find another one that captured the same feeling. That search finally came to an end in Fresno, when an online listing caught his attention. Knowing opportunities like this don’t come around often, Fred hooked up a trailer and made the trip.

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.

The 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona exists for one reason, and one reason only: to win races. Dodge’s Charger Daytona program was never about styling exercises or showroom traffic - it was about domination on the high banks, and this NASCAR-built example stands as a direct artifact of that superspeedway mission. Today, any street-going Daytona is coveted, but this car occupies rarified air altogether - a singular, one-of-one survivor that directly recalls Chrysler’s all-out assault on NASCAR’s aerodynamic frontier.

If you’re a Mopar person, you already know the vibe: there are muscle cars… and then there are aero cars - the factory-built, street-legal loopholes that Detroit unleashed when NASCAR glory mattered more than subtlety. At the top of that food chain sits the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, the pointy-nosed, high-winged homologation special that looks like it escaped from a wind tunnel and somehow got license plates.

This wasn’t a decal package or a trim-level flex. The Daytona was Dodge’s full-send answer to high-speed oval warfare - built to stop the Charger from acting like a parachute at 180+ and start acting like a missile with turn signals.
