Mid-century classics and 90's sports cars share a particular appeal...

“It's really cool to be able to get out of a 59 Mercury and get into a Acura NSX," says dual classic car owner Sandy Edelstein of his odd car collection. “It's really wonderful to experience the full breadth of automotive cuisine.” After going through the difficult process of procuring a mid-century...

How did they fit all this eye-candy in one place?

When planning a trip to Le Mans Classic, you're going to need a few things. First, you'll definitely want a classic ride, the older the better. If you can't opt for an oldie, sport a sportscar then, it doesn't matter which. Have some tools on hand, just in case something breaks, and make sure you ha...

Because this guy needs some help.

When it comes to classic barn finds, few things can beat something nearly 100 years old with a starter that's crank based!

Classic!

There's no question that the current Nissan GT-R is one of the baddest, most powerful machines on the road today. Its expertly hand-built engine and unparalleled launch controls are the stuff that other car makers aspire to. But the GT-R knows where it came from and the R34 Skyline GT-R from '99 cou...

The end of an era.

No kidding. This is the last of these beauties to roll off the line. These guys pride themselves on their collection of rare muscle cars and this GTO is definitely a treasured jewel. Check out the profile here!

How do I get one of these? Can it go 88 MPH? I WANT IT NOW!

THIS IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. PERIOD. IT'S A HOT TUB IN THE DELOREAN. IN THE TIME MACHINE. WHY AM I SHOUTING?! BECAUSE IT'S ALL MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TRUE. JUST LOOK AT IT! HOW IS THAT NOT THE MOST AWESOME THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE?!

You'll be laughing your keister off in thirty seconds.

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and MOPAR people can be, well, a little ridiculous when it comes modifying their cars. With a myriad of entry level vehicles under each brand's umbrella, the ceiling for parts, customization, and modification is exceptionally high with a flood of aftermarket choices available…

We always fight hardest for the things we love.

Peruvian architect Miguel Rodrigo says the Jaguar E-Type he scored at a Hershey, Pennsylvania auto auction has a simple draw. "I think it’s a classic that everybody likes; you don’t need to be a car aficionado to like this car." Peru's former dictatorship held a strict ban on automotive imports for…

Now THIS is cool!

Check out this awesome footage from the assembly line point of view. It's all in honer of the 75 year anniversary of this incredible Wrangler!

If you're in the market for classic muscle cars, here's how you avoid a lemon.

The most sought after classic cars will always come with their own set of troubles by virtue of being as old or older than your grandparents. Beyond decades of wear and tear, there are specific places on every classic to look out for if you want to avoid costly repairs and upgrades on your collector...

It was a car no one wanted then and it's still terrible.

The 1987 Porsche 928 S4 is probably a car Porsche would be happy to forget about. Engineered to corner the American market for high-price, high-performance German sports cars, it miserably failed to put numbers on the board in a year where the newest Corvette was setting world records for production...

Good luck getting this impulse purchase by the wife.

Hertz' "Rent A Racecar" program debuted in the late sixties with 1000 custom built Ford Shelby Mustang GT-350s which were designated "H" for the program. For $0.17 PER MILE, you could rent one of these bangin' Eleanors and do with it as you saw fit. Now, Hertz has decided to bring the program back,…

This relic has laughed at more disastrous terrain than your car has ever seen.

When you spend your boyhood on nine-month long slogs through mainland Asia in a Bentley built before the Second World War, it takes a great deal to impress you. This vintage Bentley has been in William Medcalf's family for generations now, and this car has been through trips that would destroy even…

They really don't make them like they used to.

Whether you love it or hate it, the American Motor Company's Gremlin was a true icon. Slim, compact, and with that coupe/hatch styling we see on nearly every economy car these days. Following the strange look of the Pacer, but beating competitors like the Pinto to market, the Gremlin offered the siz...

History comes to life!

Every year in Stow, Massachusetts, history buffs and car aficionados alike gather at Collings Foundation to spectate for the "Race of the Century", an event where they race classic turn-of-the-century automobiles, and some of the first kinds of cars ever built. They race everything from the foundati...

Prepare to go back in time.

On April 15, 1964, a twenty-two year-old school teacher named Gail Wise bought the car of her dreams. Two days later, April 17 at the New York World's Fair, Ford unveiled the Mustang, and with it, the future of muscle cars. Many, many decades later, Mrs. Wise was surprised to learn after her husband...

They're practical. They're efficient. They're beautiful.

"Well, let's put it this way: I'm not someone who speeds," says Thorsten Seitz. "I sped as a teenager, but for a rather short time. On the freeway, I drive like an old man." That sentiment perfectly encapsulates why Seitz loves the stout, boxy economy cars of the 70's from Ford. His classic Escorts…
