Whether you're a movie buff or just a car enthusiast, the name Eleanor likely brings one thing to mind: Gone in 60 Seconds. The 2000 action film, which was loosely based on the 1974 action film of the same name, featured a sleek silver '67 Mustang at the center of its story. Anti-hero protagonist Memphis Raines, played by Nicholas Cage, feverishly hunts this car like Ahab hunted Moby Dick. While the film wasn't appreciated by critics, it has become a cult classic and is frequently cited as one of the most memorable car movies of all time. More than 25 years later, the original crew that built the movie stunt cars is making a limited series of 25 "Eleanor Gone Again" tribute cars.

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.

Some custom trucks begin with a clean survivor, a running project, or at least a complete vehicle. Chad Compton’s 1974 GMC C15 Super Custom wasn’t any of those things.

When Compton acquired the short-bed Fleetside in 2022, it was essentially a full-size jigsaw puzzle. There was no engine in the truck, the bed wasn’t mounted, body panels had been removed, and assorted parts were packed away in boxes. Three years later, that collection of pieces emerged from a literal barn as a meticulously detailed, LS-powered square body wearing a custom Sky Blue and white two-tone finish—and carrying a Best of Show – Paint award to prove just how far the project had come.

Pontiac built the GTO Judge for only three model years, but in that brief span it created one of the most recognizable American muscle cars ever made. Here’s the story of The Judge, including production totals, engines, specifications, year-to-year changes, and the details enthusiasts should know when identifying or restoring one today.

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.

Few automobiles have ever become as inseparable from a motion picture as the black-and-gold Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. James Bond had his Aston Martins, Steve McQueen had his Highland Green Mustang, and the Duke boys had the General Lee—but no Hollywood car did more to transform the fortunes of an American performance model than the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. 

As kids, most of us grew up dreaming about owning cool cars — the kind that showed up on posters, magazine covers, TV shows, and movies. Unfortunately, the contents of our piggybanks didn't align with those lofty dreams. But as adults, a lucky few of us are able to save up enough money to buy those cars we always wanted. This was exactly the story for comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias, who always dreamed of owning an early-'90s Ford Mustang GT and was recently able to buy this pristine Fox Body with less than 500 miles on the odometer.

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.

If we asked you to name the most famous movie car chase of all time, there's a good chance you'd say one word: Bullitt. This 1968 thriller captivated audiences across America and around the world with its groundbreaking car chase on the streets of San Francisco. While the cinematography and acting were incredible, the cars were also a big part of the appeal. Steve McQueen chased a '68 Dodge Charger from behind the wheel of a Dark Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang — the exact car seen here. This Bullitt stunt car was thought to be lost for many years, but it's now restored and on display at the Petersen Auto Museum.
