New Lingenfelter Camaro Signature Performance Packages Are Mean, Ugly, Fast

Lingenfelter has been a front runner in GM performance tuning for years, and their loud, unapologetic performance mods are purpose-built for only the hardest-core drivers out there. Their latest Signature Performance Packages for the Chevy Camaro look to build on that reputation.

There will be two unique packages offered, each offering their own set of graphics and equipment that can bestow either the normal coupe or convertible models. The Signature Series 1 pack can come in both V6 and V8 flavor, comes…

Slammed ‘66 Lincoln Continental “Land Yacht”

After World War II, American automakers subscribed to a simple but effective theory; bigger is better. From big block engines to bigger body styles, American automobiles grew and grew and grew from the 1950’s all the way until the late 70’s, littering the landscape with a new class of personal luxury cars affectionately known as “land yachts.” These gas guzzling, 4,000+ pound automobiles are not exactly popular cars with the customizing crowd, though it…

Ed Roth’s Tweedy Pie

Tweedy Pie rear 3/4 view

LOS ANGELES, California – Tweedy Pie is considered one of history’s most famous hot-rod T-Buckets, spawning over 11 million model kits and other assorted memorabilia. It features some of the earliest pinstriping examples by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth – a custom hot rod builder who achieved cult status in the California street racing scene of the 1960s.

First “General Lee” Ever Built Heads To Auction

At next weekend’s Barrett Jackson Scottsdale auction the first 1969 Dodge Charger ever used in “The Dukes of Hazzard” will cross the block with No Reserve. The car was used and destroyed filming a jump off a dirt ramp that was featured in the opening of all 145 episodes of the show.

Although the car was basically destroyed filming that scene the jump is one of the most recognizable moments from the show’s seven seasons. The “Lee 1″—as it…

1938 Ford Standard – Family Heirloom, Mike Carlson’s ’38 Ford Standard

Hand-me-downs usually come in the form of high-water jeans with worn-out knees or sweaters with mustard stains, right? Not always. At least not in this case, as Mike Carlson couldn’t quite wear what his father eventually passed down to him. But it almost didn’t come to be, as Mike is about to tell—a case of teenage temptation that initially netted a lengthy grounding, but fortunately, led to a happy ending.

1938 Ford Standard  “The car was…

The King Rat: A Fire Engine-Powered ’31 Model A Ford

When you think of a rat rod, the last thing that comes to mind is drivability. Bubble-gum welds, trinkets welded onto everything strictly for visual confusion, and suspension and brakes that make you shudder just looking at them put the thought of running 60 mph down the highway into the “are you friggin’ crazy?!” category.

But what if we told you…

From The Ashes: Lou Dreisch’s New ’68 Chevelle 8.50 Index Racer

One of the most supremely compelling elements of the heads-up street car drag racing craze these days – in addition to the elapsed times and speeds these marvels are capable of – is the fact that deep down, they were all once actual, road-going vehicles purchased from a dealer. No swoopy carbon fiber “Batmobiles” here. But as both diehard classic car fanatics and drag racers, we’re often torn between doing the right thing and preserving that American iron, and hacking it up to make a badass race car out…

Second Gen Perfection? ’72 Pro Touring Camaro SS

Seems like the First Gen Camaro is the prodigal son of Chevrolet.  Look no further than  the current Camaro, reconstituted in the First Gen’s image. Second Gen cars are certainly popular but are usually considered second string to it’s older brother. This Camaro might change all that and asProTouring.com reports, it’s currently for sale.

Originally a low mile car from Texas, the current owner Raul Lopez purchased  it in 2005, brought it to Miami…
