Smiley’s 1970 Mustang Drift Car – Coyote Powered Monster

March 19th, 2024

Fishtailing and eating pavement at will, Smiley’s 1970 Ford Mustang is a family artifact that has finally reached fruition. Grandpa Smiley originally bought the Mustang and handed it down to Smiley’s dad who passed it to Smiley a few years ago (when he was sixteen). Unfortunately, Smiley’s dad has passed away since then. From what we can see, Smiley took a firm hand and set about correcting all those Ford mistakes. What he has created is a daily driver that is a rolling work of art. Rolling on ESR wheels wrapped in Toyo rubber – they are 19 x 9.5 Read More

June 9th, 2021

This 1970 Chevelle SS is a build that takes me back to running errands with my Grandpa. Difference is that Gramps old Chevy wasn’t putting down 800hp to a set of 22-inch tires. This thing is a beast of a premium build that the crew at Hood Muscle nailed right on the money. Check it out. Under the hood is a built 5.3-liter LS engine with a pair of Nelson Racing 72-millimeter turbochargers.

Sexy Sally – 1200HP 1970 Chevelle SS

October 6th, 2020

If you love classic cars and big power, this video is for you. Featured is a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS with a massive engine and a healthy shot of nitrous. As you can see, this heavy Chevy is looking good in cherry red with black SS stripes. It can be driven on the street but the sight of massive rear tires and the peculiar stench of racing fuel hint that it might be more at home on the dragstrip. Think I’ll have a look under the hood. A car built around an engine; Sexy Sally is propelled by an all-aluminum, Read More

February 18th, 2020

Rides by Kam has taken this 1970 Dodge Challenger and turned it into a work of art. Gone are the unsightly surfaces associated with underhood and undercarriage and uniquely accentuated polymer covers take their place. Even the lines and grooves in the sheet metal have been reproportioned – enhanced if you will – into something that supersedes perfection. Take a look. The engine is a 572 cubic-inch HEMI. It is all-aluminum (block and cylinder heads) with a billet crank, Diamond forged pistons and aluminum connecting rods. Forced air induction is handled with a Procharger F3R blower that is driven directly Read More

10-Second Classic GMC Pickup Diesel

September 30th, 2018

by: Ricardo Perez It’s Rocky Mountain Race Week. All the elite street and strip racers are on-hand for this week-long test of man and machine. Despite all the unique rides at this event, no one is expecting a ‘70s GMC pickup (short bed) to be posting 10-second quarter-mile passes in the 140 mph range. They sure as heck ain’t expecting to see it belching coal over the roof. Running a built LBZ (2006/2007) Duramax diesel 6.6-liter, with a compound turbo setup, this classic GMC is posting consistent 10s and dipping into the 9s on occasion. The combination is good for 1,189hp Read More
