The money that these trucks are commanding now is just insane but hey, people are paying and restoring, and loving on these short wheelbase, simple, fun rigs.

Next Level: We’ve All Seen A Coffee Table Made With A Block and Rods But We’ve Never Seen One Like THIS
There are certain things we always look at and think they’re cool. Furniture made of car parts will never get old to us. Unfortunately due to the fact that there are multiple involved in the decorating process at the Lohnes manse, we’ll never have any of it, so I must admire it from afar. We’ve […]

Well, the FoxJet is kind of that story. Tony Fox was the kind of maverick guy who owned hydrogen peroxide rocket race cars, invented stuff, made and […]

End Of The Line: This Video Review of The 1995 Corvette ZR-1 Shows The Pinnacle Version Of The Hot ‘Vette
All good things must come to an end, right? Corvette fans learned that in 1995 after Chevrolet announced that they’d produce a final run of less than 500 ZR-1s before shutting down that line and that model forever.
