Few things can spoil a drive in a classic Corvette faster than watching the temperature gauge climb toward the danger zone. That concern becomes even more important when there’s a heat-producing Chevrolet 427 big-block packed beneath the hood.

Some enthusiasts have a hard enough time keeping one classic Chevrolet in the garage. Mark King of Mattoon, Illinois, has two—and each offers its own interpretation of vintage Chevy performance. His 1967 Camaro SS and 1966 Chevy II SS combine classic Chevrolet styling with small-block V8 power and a handful of carefully chosen upgrades.

Some classic cars are bought because they’re valuable. Others are chosen because they’re fast, rare, or simply the car someone has dreamed about owning since childhood. Then there are cars whose value can’t really be measured in dollars at all.

Charles J. Williams’ 1968 Chevrolet Camaro falls squarely into that last category.

Some classic cars spend their lives traveling from the garage to the show field and back again. Bob Bates’ 1956 Chevy 210 Delray isn’t one of them. This '56 was built to cover miles, and with six trips down historic Route 66 already under its belt, it has certainly lived up to that purpose.

Upgrading the front suspension can make a big difference when building a classic performance vehicle. The CPP Totally Tubular™ Upper and Lower Control Arm Set, Part # TCA6774B, offers a complete suspension upgrade for 1967-69 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, as well as 1968-74 Chevrolet Nova models.

The collector car world’s top prize, Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, was awarded today [Sunday, August 16, 2026] to a Duesenberg SSJ originally owned by Clark Gable. The 75th celebration also reached a major milestone, surpassing $50 million in total charitable giving.

This year, 218 cars—including 33 international entries from 14 countries and 185 US entries from 30 states—pulled onto the competition field. The winning 1935 Duesenberg SSJ Special Speedster was shown by Harry Yeaggy of Cincinnati, Ohio.

For Corvette enthusiasts, the name ZR1 means one thing and one thing only: the pinnacle of performance. Ever since the introduction of this racing-oriented option package in the 1970 model year, the Corvette ZR1 has been a car that raises eyebrows everywhere it goes — not just in America, but all over the world. It showed the automotive industry the best of what GM engineers had to offer, and in true "halo car" fashion, it was so expensive to produce that it constantly made the bean counters upset. More than 50 years since its launch, it's still surprising competitors and breaking records. Read on as we take a look back at ZR1 history and study every generation of the ultimate Corvette variant.

If you’re the kind of person who can recognize a big-block idle from half a block away, you already know the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 occupies a sacred corner of muscle-car history. But within that world, there’s a particular halo car: the LS equipped factory-installed big-block (Chevrolet’s baddest in the Chevelle lineup), and one of the defining “peak muscle” statements of the era.

With values as high - and production as limited - as the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6, authenticity is everything. Because many Chevelles have been upgraded over the decades, documentation and details matter more than horsepower claims. Here’s how knowledgeable collectors separate real LS6 cars from well-built tributes.

We love a good transformation story, whether it's the redemption arc of a fictional hero or the tale of a classic car that went from a rusty relic to a work of art on wheels. This 1969 Camaro started out as a $5,600 swap meet special before its new owner turned it into a purpose-built pro-touring machine. Efrain Diaz did almost all the work on this car in his own garage, leading it to be recognized on the cover of Super Chevy Magazine under the title "Homebuilt Screamer." Autotopia LA recently interviewed Diaz to discuss the history of the build and all its impressive details.
