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.

Just imagine the great luck that accompanies stumbling onto/discovering the 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 Bullitt movie stunt car that the King of Cool, actor Steve McQueen drove as San Francisco Police Department Detective Frank Bullitt. There's also a mountain of work that ensues once such a figurative pot of gold is found at the end of the rainbow, in terms of renovating a historically and painstakingly accurate, 100-point ground up restoration.

Some classic trucks are restored because they're rare. Others are restored because they're part of the family.
This beautifully restored 1973 Chevrolet C-30 Cheyenne Super Camper Special dually falls into the latter category. Its story began more than five decades ago, long before its current owner took possession. It is a story of family, unforgettable road trips, and a promise fulfilled.

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.
