The 1984-96 C4 Corvette brought GM's flagship sports car into a new era of technology and refinement. Features such as the new "uniframe" construction, transverse leaf spring front suspension, sleek glass hatchback, and LCD gauge cluster made this Corvette feel modern, but the standard 230-horsepower L98 V8 left many enthusiasts wishing for more performance. GM would eventually respond in 1990 with the Corvette ZR-1, but back in the mid-80s, a company called Callaway Cars was quietly working on a twin-turbocharged C4 variant that would get the whole world's attention. The Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette was available through Chevrolet dealers under RPO B2K and offered European supercar performance at a fraction of the cost, plus a full factory warranty.

Few automobiles occupy a more fascinating corner of Corvette history than the five original 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sports.

They weren't production Corvettes with bigger engines. They weren't ordinary Sting Rays converted into race cars. And despite their familiar C2 silhouette, they shared surprisingly little with the Corvette sitting on a Chevrolet showroom floor in 1963.

With each passing decade, new generations enter the classic car world looking for fun and affordable project cars. In the '80s, the second-gen Camaro and Firebird were common entry-level choices, and in the '90s and early '00s, the third-gen IROC-Z and Trans Am filled the same role. Today, clean examples of all of those cars have become more scarce and therefore more costly. Fourth-gen GM F-body cars like this 1999 Trans Am WS6 offer huge restomod and performance potential without breaking the bank.

Founder of the Ford Motor Company and inventor of the assembly line at the start of the Industrial Revolution, Henry Ford is famous for saying the following, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black". Now Mr. Ford, mind you, was saying that to save money and time, as the Ford Model T's matriculated down the assembly line from approximately 1914 to 1926. As you lay your eyes on this ink well deep, three dimensional jet-black 1997 GMC Yukon GT 4WD, you're probably wondering what in the heck does a bunch of black tin lizzies training down Henry's production line have to do with this commanding beauty?

California classic-car enthusiasts scored a significant legislative victory on September 16, 2026, when Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1392 (SB 1392), better known as “Leno’s Law,” at Jay Leno’s Garage in Burbank, California. The new law creates a limited, phased-in exemption from California’s Smog Check requirements for qualifying collector vehicles from the 1976 through 1985 model years.

In the 1960s, American automakers were laying the groundwork for a new type of vehicle: the SUV. The popularity of the Jeep CJ-5 revealed that buyers liked the idea of a small off-road capable 4x4, and the International Scout and Ford Bronco showed that buyers also wanted a 4x4 that was more comfortable and practical. After studying this emerging market and seeing the success of its own Chevy Suburban, General Motors decided to throw its hat in the ring with the release of the legendary K5 Blazer in 1969. The Blazer was larger, more refined on paved roads, and kept costs low by sharing parts with GM's C/K series trucks, but it could still hold its own on rough off-road trails.

The Fox Body Mustang is a deeply nostalgic vehicle for those of us who grew up in the 1980s and '90s. These cars were easy to find at affordable prices, fun to drive, and served as a gateway into the world of high-performance modifications. More than 40 years later, it's no surprise that some Fox Body enthusiasts are willing to spend big bucks to build their ultimate dream Mustang... but would you be willing to pay $280,000 for one? Velocity Restorations, a custom classic car and truck builder in Florida, is offering a new series of turn-key Fox Body Mustang restomod builds for more than a quarter-million dollars each.

Few cars invite closer inspection than a 1963-1967 Chevrolet Corvette. At any show, auction, or cars-and-coffee, someone will eventually lean over the passenger-side fender looking for numbers. There's a good reason: the difference between an ordinary small-block Sting Ray and a documented, original-drivetrain big-block car can be six figures or more.

This guide shows you how to read those numbers, what each one can prove, and where each one stops.

For Corvette C1 enthusiasts, a string of letters and numbers can reveal the beginning of a car's story.

Is that Corvette really a 1957? Where was it assembled? What does the VIN say about that 1955 Corvette's original engine?

Roadster Shop is one of the forerunners of the pro touring movement within the classic car world. Their low-slung, aggressive, high-horsepower builds have pushed the boundaries of performance by matching or exceeding the capabilities of brand-new supercars. So, when we look at this 1969 Camaro, it's hard to believe that it was built nearly 12 years ago. It has clearly aged well and seems like it'd fit right in at a SEMA Show exhibit today. Roadster Shop even claims it has the first supercharged 650-horsepower LT4 crate motor under its hood.
