Despite being registered as a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, this million-dollar restomod is built totally from one-of-a-kind body panels. Keep in mind, as your eyes crawl across this amazing work of art, that every single body panel began life as a piece of flat sheet metal. Even the roof is custom tailored to this car. Only the grille retains its stock shape. It’s a labor of love that’s eight-years in the making – and it still ain’t finished. Making this thing go is a 392 HEMI V8 engine. Upgrades include Dart cylinder heads, a Bullet Racing camshaft and an Eagle Read More

By: Justin Ivler Big thanks to Shawn at Autotopia for bringing us this outstanding garage-built 1969 Camaro. For car owner Omar this has been a labor of love. He regularly drives the car on the street and takes it to the drag strip occasionally. This is a special build and Omar is going to explain why. The center piece is the massive 572 cubic-inch engine (cast iron block with aluminum cylinder heads). Exhaust is Hooker Super Competition headers running into Magnaflow 3-inch pipes/mufflers. It dumps in front of the rear axles. The brake setup is Wilwood disc on all Read More

Greetings drag racing fans, roll racing fans and speed enthusiasts of every variety. This video takes us on a journey south of the border for an evening of street (roll) racing on the interstates of Mexico. These purpose-built vehicles are as diverse as their owners – all of whom are prepared to let it all hang out on every pass. Get ready, this is going to be a wild one! The cameraman begins the night in a Corvette with an LS engine. It also has an East Coast Supercharger (ECS) blower on top. This Chevy makes approximately 815hp. As the Read More

This clip documents what some would call “old school drag racing”. The cars are – believe it or not – some of the most capable of their era. Today, it seems implausible that the most feared of the original muscle cars only made (approximately) half the horsepower produced by some of the hottest modern factory performance coupes, sedans and sport utility vehicles. Nevertheless, it should be quite interesting to see these two top tier muscle cars battle it out on the dragstrip. In the right lane is a prime example of one of the most intimidating muscle cars ever produced. Read More

Meet Jason Scudellari, owner of this extreme 1969 Ford F100. Jason is a car builder by trade, but he has really outdone himself with this unique project.

Greetings fellow gearheads and speed aficionados from every facet of the racing universe. Meet Matt and his grandparent’s 1969 Chevy. The old folks purchased this one brand new. When they no longer needed it, they passed the car off to Matt’s mom who handed it off to him. The car – originally a Malibu – came from the factory with a cumbersome 307 cubic-inch engine and automatic transmission. This baby has come a long way since then. Matt, a body man by trade, has worked a miracle with the exterior of this Chevrolet. Most of the factory trim has been Read More

The HELLRUNNER is a full blown, body off restomod performed expertly by Fast Freddie’s Rod Shop in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Fast Freddie takes us in a step-by-step journey to unite style and speed. The 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner is a snapshot of muscle car heyday. The Chrysler Hellcat drivetrain achieved legendary status the instant it rolled off the assembly line in 2015. Marrying these two icons was more a matter of “when” than “if”. Believe it or not, this entire project begins with a barn find (I must be looking in the wrong barns). The Mopar was discovered sitting under a Read More

It has been said that you just can’t keep a good man down. Lyle Barnett is a living example of that. After being badly burned while campaigning his Corvette during Lights Out 6 (2015), Lyle was back in the saddle for Lights Out 8. What took place there will be forever etched in the annals of drag racing history. Some might ask why Lyle would ever get back into a race car. Those people wouldn’t understand that inside him beats the heart of a drag racer. After a long recovery, Lyle climbed behind the wheel of Jason Digby’s 1969 Dodge Read More

If you want to race in the Pro Street Class of the National Hot Rod Diesel Association (NHRDA), then you are going to need to make some pretty prolific modifications to any stock vehicle. This heirloom 1969 C10 pickup (the bed is from a 1995 model) has certainly undergone just such a mutation: the cab and cockpit are primarily stock, as they were when Brett Deutsch’s (the current owner) grandpa turned it over to him at the tender age of 15. Brett wrestled his way through an assortment of small block Chevy power plants (including a supercharged 383-stroker) before he Read More
