Some American muscle cars you can just stare at into infinity. You don't even need to drive them to fall in lust with them. Such is the case with one ever so lovingly restored, maintained, shown, and driven 1958 Chevy Impala convertible.

Even for those of us who love to take on DIY restoration projects, there are certain tasks that can seem a little too daunting. Rewiring a car is one such project, since it's all too easy to get tangled up in a rat's nest of loose wires or frustrated while troubleshooting connections. Thankfully, companies such as American Autowire have simplified the process by providing complete wiring harness update kits for classic cars. In a recent issue of All Chevy Performance, the team shows how to rewire a second-gen 1971 Camaro, plus install lights and a new battery.

The Ford Mustang captured the hearts of millions around the U.S. and all over the globe when she burst onto the scene on April 17, 1964. When the redesigned 1967 Mustang emerged off the assembly line, pony car fans had a sequel that many felt was even better than the premiere offering. By decoding the '67 Mustang's data plate and VIN code, we'll be able to discern what makes these babies such an automotive icon, and perhaps even an improvement over the original galloping automotive icon. Read on for our complete 1967 Mustang VIN decoder, list of paint colors and engine options, and more fun facts.

Having an old farm pickup at the start of a truck project build can provide a large blank canvas to build upon, especially if your last name is Maestro. You might find yourself envisioning, crafting, and creating a patina pickup that's worthy of any hot rod hauler hobbyist's hot rod garage. Eddie Maestro found a 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pickup on Instagram.

"It's manual steering, manual brakes, manual transmission. This thing is a riot to drive. You're not texting and driving when you're driving this," said Craig Lopresti with a laugh. Craig, better known by his YouTube channel name TheCraig909, has owned this 1971 Ford F-100 since he was in high school. It started out as a project with his dad, but now it has transformed into a 500-horsepower tire-shredding machine powered by a NASCAR-inspired, carbureted Ford 302ci small block. In a recent episode with AutotopiaLA, Craig discusses the truck's modifications and takes it out on the streets of LA.

Some work vehicles dedicate their entire lifespan to the grind of driving and hauling. While others transition from factory-fresh work trucks to pristine showpieces. The 1970 GMC panel delivery in question has been a steadfast worker for most of its existence, albeit in diverse realms of industry and purpose.

All 1966 Ford Mustangs rolled off the Ford assembly lines complete with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and a Data Plate. The VIN is stamped atop the driver's side engine bay wall. The Mustang data plate, which is riveted on the driver's side doorjamb, also contains the VIN. These two items provide all the details of how the Mustang was first manufactured — the Mustang's DNA if you will.

The history of American muscle cars is closely intertwined with the history of another American car culture staple: NASCAR. Back in the late 1960s, cars like the Ford Torino, Mercury Cyclone, Plymouth Road Runner, and of course the Dodge Charger roared around the track in intense competitions. And as indicated by the old dealer axiom, "win on Sunday, sell on Monday," the cars that performed well also sold well to customers who were seeking high-performance street cars. This heritage inspired hot rod builder Steve Strope of Pure Vision Design to create this 1968 Charger with a 472ci Hemi V8 and some unique NASCAR-inspired elements.

The Buick Regal is a favorite for many classic car enthusiasts, and its Grand National variant became a legend as a result of its intimidating appearance and high-performance turbocharged V6 engine. Some purists would say the turbo V6 is the heart and soul of the GN, but what happens when one of these cars is built from the ground up to go toe-to-toe with modern supercars? That's a question the Hemmings crew set out to answer as they built a supercharged-V8-powered Grand National for Grammy-award-winning rapper Killer Mike.

I have had the pleasure of owning my 1978 Camaro Type LT for forty years, and recently embarked on a restoration project that brought new life to this classic beauty. With approximately 90% of the parts sourced from Classic Industries, I was able to preserve the authenticity and originality of my beloved Camaro. The process was a labor of love, meticulously restoring each detail to its former glory. Now, my Camaro shines like new, a testament to the timeless appeal of this iconic model.
