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.

When you say Barracuda—or better yet, just ’Cuda—you’re talking about one of Mopar’s crown jewels. The E-body muscle machine that could be had with a screaming 340 small-block, a tire-vaporizing 440 Six-Pack, or the deity-level 426 HEMI. Today, though, owning one brings you to the crossroads every Mopar junkie dreads:

Do you keep it bone-stock and resurrect it with a nut-and-bolt restoration, or do you throw tradition to the wind and unleash a modern restomod monster?

Let’s throw these two gladiators into the pit and see who walks out.

Restoring a first- or second-generation GM C/K pickup is like reviving a bruiser from the golden era of GM haulers. But too many builds stall out - or worse, miss the mark - because folks overlook the details. Here’s a countdown of the biggest mistakes people make when wrenching on these rigs, so you don’t wind up with a money pit instead of a street legend.

Restoring a 1957–1991 Ford pickup isn’t just a project - it’s a rite of passage. These trucks were born tough, worked hard, and survived decades of abuse, rust, and questionable “fixes” by shade-tree mechanics. Bringing one back from the dead is equal parts glory and headache and trust me — there are a few potholes you don’t want to hit along the way.

Here are the top 10 mistakes that’ll separate the weekend dreamers from the diehard wrench-turners. Avoid these, and your F-100 or F-150 will look good, drive better, and earn you that approving nod at the next cars-and-coffee.

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.

The Dodge Charger models of 1966–1974 are some of the most iconic muscle cars ever to roll out of Detroit. Whether you’re drooling over the Coke-bottle curves of a ’68 R/T, the hidden headlights of a ’70 SE, or the long and low profile of a ’74, the Charger oozes character. But when it comes to bringing one back to life, the age-old debate pops up: do you restore it to bone-stock glory, or do you go the restomod route and blend old-school attitude with modern tech? Let’s break it down, muscle car enthusiast style.

Especially the second-generation Dodge Charger is one of the crown jewels of the Mopar world, with the ’68–’70 models commanding center stage at every car show and auction block. Whether you’re working on an early ’66–’67 “Coke bottle” fastback, a winged Daytona, or a smog-era ’74 R/T, restoration blunders can tank both the car’s value and its drivability. Below are the ten most common mistakes restorers make when reviving a classic Charger.

Ford’s light-duty trucks transitioned quickly from car-based haulers (1932–1947) to the first-generation F-Series (1948–1952) and the improved second generation (1953–1956, with the birth of the F-100). Collectors love them, builders customize them, and enthusiasts hot rod them. But whether you’re doing a faithful restoration, a period street rod, or a modernized restomod, the same 10 pitfalls keep showing up - with extra risks when blending old steel and new tech.

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.
