A custom 1987 Buick Turbo T reimagines a high school legend with WH1-inspired styling and modern turbo performance.

Some cars are restored. Others are modified. And then there are builds like this - machines that carry history, emotion, and a story that spans decades.

This 1987 Buick Turbo T, known as the “One-of-One WH1,” is more than just a performance build - it’s a tribute to a car that left a lasting impression back in the mid-1980s.

What do you get when you let legendary custom car builder George Barris — who also built vehicles for Batman, The Munsters, and The Beverly Hillbillies — work his magic on a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS? The answer is a truly one-of-a-kind Mopar car with unique, handmade components. However, unlike many of Barris' other wild creations, this Dart was a bit more subtle and understated. It fit perfectly into its role as the personal ride of Detective Joe Mannix, played by actor Mike Connors on the eponymous TV show Mannix.

At Classic Industries, we love seeing enthusiasts keep the spirit of American muscle alive - and sometimes that passion shows up in threes. Customer Ed Miranda is building a remarkable collection of restomods that represents the heart of the American performance world: Mopar, Chevrolet, and Ford. His trio of classic muscle cars blends vintage styling with modern performance, all tied together by a patriotic theme honoring military service.

There's no denying the pure cool factor of a late '70s Trans Am, especially one in the iconic black-and-gold paint scheme with snowflake wheels and that timeless hood bird graphic. However, its performance was another story. As a result of increasing emissions regulations, the T/A 6.6 was rated at only 200 horsepower in stock form, leaving many enthusiasts looking for new ways to make it as fast as it looks. The owner of this '77 Trans Am, Armen Pezeshkian, asked Los-Angeles-based restoration shop Vintage Motorworks to do just that, and the result is an 800-horsepower supercharged monster you have to hear for yourself.

Restoring a classic 1955-1957 Chevrolet requires access to the right parts, the right information, and a reliable source for authentic components. For owners of the legendary Tri-Five Chevys - the 1955 Chevy, 1956 Chevy, and 1957 Chevy - finding high-quality restoration components is essential to maintaining the authenticity, performance, and timeless style of these iconic American vehicles.

You know the drill. A veteran comes home to California from a United States of America Army deployment in Afghanistan and sees an online advertisement from a vintage auto broker in Florida for a 1966 Chevy II Nova. The body, lavished in PPG brilliant white paint, looks impeccable. The ad's headline reads "Running and Driving." On the FaceTime phone/video call with the broker, the engine sounded sweet...

It's often said that the greatest innovations happen despite significant adversity, and this is certainly true of one of General Motors' crowning achievements, the Corvette Z06. This three-letter Regular Production Option (RPO) code is still immediately recognizable to car enthusiasts worldwide, even today, more than 60 years after it was created. The Z06 was offered as an obscure checkbox on the order form for a specially-optioned 1963 Corvette, and it carried a steep price tag, so only 199 of these legendary cars were ever produced.

This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is far more than a restored classic; it’s a deeply personal family build that blends craftsmanship, performance, and memories. The truck was originally built by a marine engineer, which shows in the level of detail, fabrication quality, and thoughtful engineering throughout.

Back in ’69, the muscle car wars were at full boil. GM, Ford, and Chrysler were throwing haymakers at each other with tire-smoking, big-block bruisers built to dominate both Woodward Avenue and the local dragstrip. Chevrolet answered the call through its Central Office Production Order (COPO) system, slipping the all-aluminum ZL-1 big-block into a limited run of Camaros — and just two factory-built Corvettes. Those ZL-1 Corvettes became instant legends, symbols of factory-backed rebellion and no-compromise performance.

Fast forward to today, and that same outlaw spirit lives on.

There are “tuned Corvettes,” and then there are statement pieces - the kind of builds that make even seasoned track-day rats do the slow head turn like they just heard a big-cam idle in a quiet parking garage. Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE) just dropped the latter: a Stage III Yenko/SC twin-turbo Corvette E-Ray that’s reportedly good for up to 1,564 horsepower on E85. Yeah… that number.
