Gearheads often remember the fast cars more than the movies or television shows where they appeared. In many scenes, cool cars outshine the actors, the television scripts, or the movie screen plays. The car chase scenes are often more compelling than anything else. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, who doesn't remember renting the Bullitt video, sliding the tape into your VCR, and having the video cued up at the famous chase scene between the Charger and the Mustang fastback? Roaring engine sounds often eclipse a tv or movie score, if you want to get right down to it. And the sound effects of sirens blaring, cars crashing, sliding out, the General Lee jumping a stream, or burning rubber can even give a car guy or car gal goosebumps and an adrenalin rush right in front of a home or surround sound movie screen.

Few cars embody American muscle like the Chevrolet Camaro. Whether it’s the raw aggression of the first generation (1967–1969) or the sleek, sculpted power of the second generation (1970–1981), every Camaro tells a story of performance and passion.

But every story faces a defining choice: Do you restore it or restomod it?

Both paths have their devotees. One is about historical accuracy; the other is about evolution. Either way, the journey starts with a dream — and usually, a pile of parts.

If you're an auto-enthusiast, chances are you’ve heard of the legendary name Don Yenko — and his famous high-performance builds like the Yenko Camaro and the Yenko Stinger Corvair. What you may not know as well is how his legacy continues today through his daughter, Lynn Yenko, who carries forward the spirit, style, and horsepower of the Yenko name.

Here’s a deep dive into Lynn’s story — her roots, her role, her vision for the next generation of muscle-and-performance, and why every gearhead should keep an eye on what she’s doing.

When Pennsylvania car enthusiast Mick Wood first laid eyes on a gutted 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, most would’ve seen an impossible project. No glass, no interior, no drivetrain—just a bare shell with potential. But with the help of his son, and a full lineup of Classic Industries restoration parts, Mick transformed that forgotten relic into a head-turning muscle car he proudly calls “Sinister ’68.”

This two-year father-and-son build blends timeless Camaro style with modern performance and comfort—an incredible showcase of craftsmanship, creativity, and passion for the Chevy legacy.

YouTube videos claim the Fast N’ Loud star is behind bars. The truth? A years-old civil case, now settled, is being recycled as clickbait.

If you’re deep in horsepower culture, you probably know AutotopiaLA as the channel where a guy named Shawn grabs keyless muscle rides and wrangles them through canyon backs and burnouts. But the real backbone is far more hardcore: Shawn Davis runs a private, ultra-secure, collector-grade storage and concierge bunker in Burbank. The videos and the vault aren’t separate—they’re two sides of the same coin.

If you've ever considered buying a classic American car from the late 1960s through the 1990s, you're likely familiar with the term T-tops. These removable roof panels became an extremely popular option that (literally and figuratively) bridged the gap between a fixed-roof coupe and a convertible. With T-tops, drivers could choose to enjoy the open-air driving experience of a convertible, the comfort and enclosed feel of a fixed roof, and — for models that used transparent T-tops — the ambience of a moonroof. In this article, we'll review the invention of T-tops, how they rose to prominence, and how they faded into obscurity again.

Every year in mid-August, the crew of Monterey Car Week enjoys a vacation in Central California for the goings on in Carmel by the Sea, Laguna Seca, Seaside, Monterey, and Pebble Beach. For automotive enthusiasts, the moniker of Monterey Car Week and the listing of those magnificent Central California towns should give you a clue as to what the MCW crew is doing during this glorious week. 

The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro, produced from 1967 to 1969, holds an iconic place in American muscle car history. Whether it’s the aggressive stance of the ‘69 RS/SS or the elegant simplicity of the ‘67 base coupe, restoring one of these classics is a dream project for many car enthusiasts. However, bringing a vintage Camaro back to life is no small task. Restorers, especially first-timers, often make critical errors that can cost time, money, and value.

The years 1966 to 1972 are widely regarded as the golden age of Trans American (Trans Am) racing, a thrilling period that saw factory-backed muscle cars, legendary drivers, and fierce rivalries come together to create one of the most exciting chapters in American motorsport history. The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) launched the series in 1966 to promote showroom stock sedans, but what followed was a war between automakers on the racetrack that would shape the identity of American performance cars for decades.
