If you’re fortunate enough to be celebrating Labor Day by working, hats off to you, Fiends. If not, enjoy those last throws of summer. I’m officially declaring this the week of updates, wherein I keep you all posted on all of the headaches I’ve pushed to the back burners over the past few weeks. Where [...]
Behold: a 1969 Subaru 360 by the name of Mr. Myagi with a mere 24,600 miles on the clock. I’m guessing cruising that kind of distance in a 360 cc bubble probably feels much, much farther. There aren’t really any 0-60 times available for this car, mostly because the 360 – Ladybug, in Japan – [...]
As Vincent Vega says, you just don’t fuck with another man’s automobile. Once upon a long time ago, Mike Gomez had a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I with a Cobra Jet 4 Speed. He sold the car to buy his first house, and 30 years later picked up another ’69 with the intention of restoring [...]
Behold, Fiends. I’ve been flirting with that certain flavor of insanity known as European roadster ownership for a good while now, and the result is what you see above. The keen-eyed among you will recognize this ugly mug from the Fool’s Gold post awhile back. It’s a 1969 Triumph Spitfire, rocking a 1.3-liter four-cylinder with [...]
Fiends who have hung around the site for a good while know how badly I want a European roadster. I figure it’s a rite of passage for any wrench to own something as unreliable as it is fun, and I may have found just the ticket. It’s a 1969 Triumph Spitfire that’s spent the entirety [...]
Ever wonder what the engineers at automakers get up to when they aren’t tweaking on the next new model? With all of the resources of players like GM at your fingertips, what couldn’t you do? It would seem Mark Stielow (formerly of GM’s High Performance Vehicle Operations, now working on hybrid tech) has done exactly [...]
Speaking of Firebirds, how about one of the sexiest birds to ever leave the nest – the ’69. The car shared beaucoup sheet metal with its Camaro cousin of the day, but in my eyes, there was always something a little more attractive about Pontiacs muscle car. Maybe it’s that beaked nose or those double [...]
Plenty of Fiends are excited about this interpretation of the C6 Corvette, and it looks like the limited-run car just keeps getting better. Cyrulewski has updated the design slightly to give the car more of an aggressive stance. The changes include a slightly longer, upward-tweaked rear and new front fenders that blend better with the [...]
Looks like the Rossi 66 will have some company in the retro C6 Corvette category. Christian Cyrulewski has got it into his head the world needs another dose of ’69 Corvette Stingray, and has set about mixing the muscular looks of that car with the all-out performance of the C6. The car is slated for [...]
