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.

If you've invested countless hours restoring or restomodding your 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger or Plymouth 'Cuda, why settle for 50-year-old instrumentation? The Dakota Digital VHX Gauge System (Classic Industries Part #DD86031) delivers the best of both worlds—retaining the unmistakable look of the factory Rallye dash while incorporating cutting-edge electronic technology that today's enthusiasts demand.  

There are certain cars that don't simply arrive - they make an entrance.

On any given Southern California weekend, Jack Kee's custom blue-and-white 1969 Pontiac GTO rumbles into a local cruise night wearing a confident stance on wide American Racing wheels. The deep exhaust note from its healthy Pontiac 400 announces its arrival long before curious spectators begin drifting toward the car. Some admire the brilliant custom paint. Others recognize the unmistakable Endura front bumper and sculpted Coke-bottle body lines that helped make the 1969 GTO one of the most celebrated muscle cars ever built.

The 1973 Chevrolet C30 represents a major engineering shift in the history of Chevy trucks. Serving as the launch year for the third-generation "Square Body" (officially named the "Rounded-Line" series by General Motors), the 1973 C30 delivered significant upgrades in aerodynamics, chassis durability, and passenger comfort. For classic truck owners, restoration shops, and heavy-duty vehicle enthusiasts, understanding the specific technical specifications of the 1973 model year is critical.

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.

In some situations, Classic Industries may be able to change the shipping address on an order after it has been placed. However, eligibility depends on whether the order is a first-time purchase, the current order status, and how far the order has progressed through processing and shipment.

Customers should contact Classic Industries as soon as they become aware of a shipping-address issue. Address changes become more difficult as an order moves through the fulfillment process and may no longer be possible after the package has shipped.
