For Chevrolet enthusiasts, the Pennsylvania speed shop operated by Don Yenko was a holy site, and the Chevys produced there are today some of the most lusted after GM products of all. Yenko first really made a name for himself with the modified Corvair called the Stinger, but when the Camaro entered the picture in 1967 to go up against the Mustang, Yenko got even more ambitious. There was no big-block version of the Camaro on offer from … [Read more...]
Reportedly owned by movie star Gloria Swanson this Chrysler 75 Roadster, located in Santa Barbara, California, is a pristine example that is almost as old as Chrysler itself. Chrysler, the smallest of the Big Three, had only been around for three years when this car came to market, but it's hard to tell given not-so-humble look of this roadster, good enough for the stars of the silver screen. … [Read more...]
In 1966, Shelby American provided around 1,000 special GT350 Mustangs to Hertz Rent-a-Car. Potential buyers could therefore try out the Shelby for a few days and, Shelby hoped, fall in love with the car in the process. The car featured here, though, is definitely not for rent. Located in Cranston, Rhode Island, it is very much for sale and set to go home with the highest bidder. … [Read more...]
Bill Devin is perhaps quite well-known for making some of the best American road racing specials in the 1950s, such as the Chevy-powered SS. He also made a name for himself, however, as one of the earliest and most successful makers of fiberglass kit bodies for production chassis. Many sports car publications of the 1950s and early 1960s featured advertisements for Devin's Italian-inspired fiberglass body kits. Devin's shop in California also … [Read more...]
The LT-1 package was offered on the Corvette from 1970 until 1972, but the 1970 cars are really the ones to have. Those U.S. emissions regulations, all too familiar to gearheads, really choked the life out of the LT-1, and by 1972 the it was down a disappointing 100 horsepower from the rip-snorting 1970 cars. The car featured here, located in Baltimore, Maryland, is from 1970, has matching numbers, and is one of only 400 convertible LT-1s built … [Read more...]
The original Cobras, especially the seven liter cars, display automotive qualities that are thoroughly and unequivocally American in nature. They have bulges in all the right places, and loud, rip-snorting engines capped with comically large side pipes. They are face-ripping in a straight line, and downright scary through the corners. The engineering is somewhat crude, but makes for an undeniably potent finished product. … [Read more...]
The racing cars built by Harry Miller in the decades before the Second World War were quickly racking up victory after victory in the United States, much like Ettore Bugatti's cars were doing in Europe. In the early years of the twentieth century Miller worked for Oldsmobile before setting up a shop in Los Angeles that focused on car production. Gradually, though, Miller moved on to building complete engines and then to complete single seater … [Read more...]
2013 of course marks the 60th anniversary of America's sports car and the fiftieth anniversary of the first production Sting Rays. Later in the year, Corvette will be the featured marque at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion, but Mecum Auctions is helping to kick off this important anniversary straight away with a throng of desirable Corvettes that are all up for grabs at their Kissimmee auction, scheduled for January 18-27. … [Read more...]
There was no shortage of wild, ground-pounding cars in IMSA during the 1970s. Porsches, BMWs, and even Chevy Monzas vied for the top spot in one of America's great racing series. One of the most memorable and frankly one of the most awe-inspiring, however, were the big, bulging Corvettes. The Corvettes built by John and Bert Greenwood, in particular, were wildly entertaining to watch and impressive feats of engineering. The car featured here, … [Read more...]
Authentic Shelby Mustangs have always been and will always be gold. Competition cars with a genuine race history are even more special. This car is just such a Mustang. In 1966, Shelby American constructed sixteen Mustangs to compete in the Sports Car Club of America's Group II series. This was better known as the Trans-American Sedan Championship, or Trans-Am. Trans-Am actually consisted of two series, one for professional drivers and one for … [Read more...]
