Every year at the SEMA Show, we make a point of checking out the newest restomod build from Ringbrothers, and even after 20 years, we have yet to be disappointed. These brothers from Wisconsin consistently produce some of the coolest resto-modded classic cars in the industry, and their project for 2025 was no exception. This 1969 Mustang Mach 1, known as Kingpin, features a stretched and widened body, independent suspension, tons of custom one-of-a-kind parts, and an 800hp Coyote V8.

Some cars are engineered. A rare few are conjured. In 1967, when Ford widened the Mustang just enough to swallow its muscular 390/320-horsepower big-block, the move cracked open a door. Carroll Shelby, eternal hot-rod alchemist, kicked the slightly ajar door off its hinges. The GT500 arrived as the natural evolution of performance, its Police Interceptor 428 already massaged to 355 horsepower. The public devoured it, outselling the GT350 by nearly double. But beneath Shelby’s trademark Texas grin, another idea was forming - larger, louder, and impossibly ambitious.

And as in so many moments of automotive destiny, it took only a spark to ignite a legend.

An American pony car/muscle car builder can choose between the school of hard knocks and the school of fast corners. An old car builder/owner will be progressing or regressing through both schools simultaneously and at all times (as the case may be). Which would an auto enthusiast choose? The answer is simple, unless reaction times, straight lines, and Christmas tree lights are the preference to a seemingly endless stream of winding roads and tight apexes. 1967 Mustang notchback owner Kyle Barnes affectionately has named his Mustang '67 Patina. Watching the Petrolicious video will make it most obvious why this moniker makes so much sense for Mr. Barnes' pony car.

Gearheads often remember the fast cars more than the movies or television shows where they appeared. In many scenes, cool cars outshine the actors, the television scripts, or the movie screen plays. The car chase scenes are often more compelling than anything else. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, who doesn't remember renting the Bullitt video, sliding the tape into your VCR, and having the video cued up at the famous chase scene between the Charger and the Mustang fastback? Roaring engine sounds often eclipse a tv or movie score, if you want to get right down to it. And the sound effects of sirens blaring, cars crashing, sliding out, the General Lee jumping a stream, or burning rubber can even give a car guy or car gal goosebumps and an adrenalin rush right in front of a home or surround sound movie screen.

Few cars command respect like the 1965–1973 Ford Mustang. Whether it’s a ’65 fastback 289, a Boss 302, a rare and racy Shelby Mustang, or a Mach 1 big block, these icons of American muscle never fail to turn heads.

But once you’ve tracked down your dream project—maybe a dusty barn find or a half-finished Craigslist special—you’re faced with one big decision:

Do you restore it to factory specs, or build a modernized restomod beast?

YouTube videos claim the Fast N’ Loud star is behind bars. The truth? A years-old civil case, now settled, is being recycled as clickbait.

The sort of vehicles that we get exposed to in our upbringing can influence the kind of cars and trucks that we wish to own later in life. If the vehicle is old enough (and the car's would-be caretaker has sufficient spending cash), it could be the sort of car/truck that an auto enthusiast wishes to purchase as a project vehicle to maintain (if it's running), renovate, or resto-mod. The various forms of media — radio, TV, movies, the internet, video games, etc. — all can contribute in a big way to this sort of automotive exposure and influence. Today, we'll discuss a few of our favorite American classic cars from movies and TV shows.

If you’re deep in horsepower culture, you probably know AutotopiaLA as the channel where a guy named Shawn grabs keyless muscle rides and wrangles them through canyon backs and burnouts. But the real backbone is far more hardcore: Shawn Davis runs a private, ultra-secure, collector-grade storage and concierge bunker in Burbank. The videos and the vault aren’t separate—they’re two sides of the same coin.

What's the best thing you've bought for $500? For Art Cairo, of Michigan, that's an easy answer. Back in 1975, he bought this black-on-black Mustang from a newspaper ad that listed it as "special made for Ford family." The ad was asking $525, but he negotiated down to an even five bills. At the time, neither he nor the seller knew exactly how special this Mustang would turn out to be. Read on as we take a closer look at Henry Ford II's personal Mustang prototype.

A one-of-a-kind Hispano-Suiza with an aviation-inspired design stole the spotlight at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, taking home the coveted Best of Show award.

Out of 229 cars from around the world - 55 of them shipped in from 22 different countries - the winning entry was a 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo, lovingly presented by Penny and Lee Anderson Sr. of Naples, Florida.
