Compared to modern cars that are loaded with touchscreen displays, multiple computer modules, and high-tech safety features, classic cars have extremely simple electrical systems. However, even though they're simple, they can still degrade over time and cause serious problems. Our friends over at Mopar Connection magazine found some electrical gremlins and ugly "quick fixes" on their 1968 Road Runner, so they reached out to us for some restoration parts to get the battery and electrical system back to good working order.

If you're an automotive enthusiast, the name James May should sound familiar. As one of the three hosts of the legendary BBC TV series "Top Gear" and later "The Grand Tour" on Amazon Prime, he has driven and reviewed a greater variety of vehicles than almost anyone. He's also well known as someone who has a deep appreciation for the classics, with a collection that has included vintage vehicles from Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Triumph, Porsche, and Ferrari. In a recent episode on his YouTube channel, he drives and reminisces about a uniquely American classic: the 1969 Ford Torino convertible.

"To me, this is the golden era of the Camaro," said legendary car collector and restoration enthusiast Jay Leno. "I think it's the prettiest one, the most focused... Just beautiful lines, and nothing it didn't need to have." While we love every generation of Camaro, we can certainly agree with Jay that the 1969 Z/28 is truly something special. It's nice to watch him reminisce about everything GM did right with this car, which is owned by bestselling author Glenn Stearns.

When it comes to restoring a classic car, there are two schools of thought. Some owners prefer to take the car to a restoration shop and let the pros do most of the work. There's nothing wrong with that plan, but for owners who have a tighter budget and more spare time, it often makes sense to take a "do it yourself" approach. That's exactly what Omar Guevara, the owner of this '71 Mustang Fastback, did after buying this car from his father. The result is a cool streetable classic Mustang that didn't break the bank.

Ever since the earliest days of the automobile, manufacturers have been experimenting with alternatives to the tried-and-true four-stroke internal combustion engine. Some notable alternative powertrains include the Wankel rotary, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in battery-powered electric motor. But back in the early 1960s, Chrysler released a vehicle with a drivetrain that seemed truly out of this world: the Turbine Car. Powered by an A-381 turbine that could run on unleaded gas, diesel, kerosene, or JP-4 jet fuel, it was a true "alternative fuel" vehicle. And it wasn't just a one-off concept — 50 cars were built and released to the public.

Two years ago, our friends at Hemmings reached out to us for help with their 1987 Camaro IROC-Z restoration project. This project, which would later become known as IROC Rehab, took a worn-out third-gen Camaro and revitalized it over the course of a six-video series. The car received a new Edelbrock crate motor, manual transmission, and tons of interior and exterior parts from the Classic Industries catalog. This month, Hemmings unveiled the first episode of IROC Rehab Season 2, where the car will receive even more upgrades and a full QA1 suspension kit.

The 1960s were a weird and wonderful time to be a car enthusiast. In addition to serving as the beginning of the muscle car era, this decade brought bold and colorful new styling to all of the "Big Three" American car brands. Arguably, the Dodge and Plymouth Mopar cars were at the forefront of this movement with head-turning High Impact paint colors and more unusual options like the one we'll be discussing today. The Mod Top option added one of three vibrant floral print patterns in place of a solid-color vinyl roof, and could even be extended to the interior upholstery.

Ever since the release of the first pickup trucks, aftermarket companies and custom shops have been looking for ways to make them more rugged for off-road driving. Shortly after WWII, a company called NAPCO began offering 4x4 conversion kits for civilian trucks from Dodge, Ford, and GM. Soon, GM started offering these kits as factory-installed RPO options, and then developed its own 4x4 system to meet demand. A few decades later, trucks like this K5 Blazer were built with off-roading in mind, and buyers upped the ante even further by modifying them with lift kits and bigger tires.

Fast is a relative term. For some people, 350 horsepower feels like a lot, especially in a small and lightweight classic car. For others, it's nowhere near enough to scratch the itch for speed. Stacy, the owner and builder of this '67 Nova, decided that an absolutely vicious 900 horsepower supercharged LS9 V8 from a Corvette C6 ZR1 was just right for his project. He met up with a film crew from AutotopiaLA, and after smoking the tires all the way through third gear, they gave it the title "scary fast." But Stacy just said with a smile, "she moves."

When you start a classic car project, there are two paths you can take: restoration or restomod. The former brings the vehicle back to its factory-fresh condition using original-style restoration parts, while the latter aims to modernize aspects of the car to make it faster, more agile, and more comfortable. We've often heard discussions about the pros and cons of each approach, but this video from YouTube channel RestoMods offers a quick head-to-head comparison between two comparable 1970 Dodge Chargers. Each is set up with a 426ci Hemi V8, manual transmission, bucket seats, and the sleek, muscular appearance Mopar fans know and love.
