The “Arizona Rattler” 1983 Camaro Z28
Every year I go to Barrett-Jackson, and I bitch and moan about how there’s always a hundred first generation Camaros and never any good third generation models. Well this year I was pleasantly surprised by two very clean examples. This is the more extreme of the two and the one that has history rooted in our great state. Continue reading
BJA 2015: 1967 Ford Ranchero
Now this is a gorgeous example of what could be a great daily driver vehicle. Grabber blue paint, tastefully sized wheels (albeit still a tad large for my tastes at 18″) and an engine upgrade that does this vehicle a favor, substituting the likely 289 powerplant for a 5.0L and stick shift 5 speed. All of this attention to detail and this car went for $17,000 – a real bargain price as compared to some items here at the auction. I hope you enjoy stacked headlights just as much as I do.
Jaded with everything automotive
When I first started this outfit, I believed that it was the ultimate opportunity to showcase my automotive expression. I was severely wrong, and here’s a few things I’ve learned: Continue reading
Back again to SEMA
So as you can tell by the SEMA posts lately, it’s that time of year again. Giving you some highlights from last year hopefully has you in the mood to see the latest and greatest our automotive industry has to offer us this year. In approximately 9 hours we’ll be headed on the road to Vegas to catch the tail end of what’s essentially the greatest car show of the year – even if it’s only seen by industry insiders.
You see, this is what makes me so excited. To be able to share with you here in text form (or even more effectively on our youtube page) the experience of it. It’s one thing to give you the scoop on the show cars, the latest products or even some really neat tech… but more than that, I’d like for you to connect with what it’s like being there and experiencing the madness that is this week-long trade show.
There’s two of these motherfuckers.
I shit you not. There’s two of these things sitting in garages asking for princely sums of money. If you forgot (because I tend to post so infrequently) you can find the article HERE where I said you’d never see another of these again. Boy, was I wrong.
You can also find a bunch of old dudes disliking it’s striking similarity to their own 80’s Magnum PI mobiles right HERE. They’re probably bent out of shape because back in the day the Ferrari regularly got worked on by even the lowliest of small block chevy mills, like the crossfire 350 in this 1984 Corvette. I KID, I KID. But seriously, guys, yes the Stiletto is uglier than a Ferrari. Continue reading
