Who says late-model iron isn't exciting? Case in point is this 2016 Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat, a 2,000-mile, one-owner example looking for a new love in its life. In 2015, Dodge introduced the SRT Challenger Hellcat and ushered in a brand-new era of modern muscle-car performance. Heck, getting a Hellcat meant paying dearly over MSRP - $5,000 over, $10,000 over, $25,000 over ... you name it! Tha...

If you thought Ford's use of the name Victoria was isolated to the ubiquitous Crown Victoria sedans that filled police fleets from 1992-2012, you didn't go far enough back into your history book. Introduced in 1930 on the Model A, "Victoria was a late addition to that year’s line and, as a result, volume was rather limited at not quite 6,500 units. All were Deluxe models with full equipment and a...

Ah, the great American car brands that have gone to the graveyard in the sky: Studebacker, Hudson, Mercury ... the list goes on. But while Pontiac may have gone out with a wimper (Anybody recall the Daewoo-built G3 abomination?), Plymouth, the brand that brought us the legendary Roadrunner and 'Cuda, went out with a bang. Case in point is the Prowler, a legendary late-model two-seat roadster that...

Back in 1971, Ford's Boss Mustang entered its third production year after setting a strong reputation in the muscle-car world (and professional SCCA Trans Am racing) for performance that gave Shelbys a run for their money. Indeed, 1969 and 1970 Boss ponys with their nimble small-block 302s and Hemi-killer 429s were the talk of the town, but what would the third model year bring? The answer was the...

How foretelling that last week's blog was "Going Home with a Supermodel" as this week's blog recalls Christie Brinkley's role in the campy, cult-classic comedy, Vacation. Christie, as pop-culture aficionados can attest, was the girl in the Ferrari, or to be more precise, the girl in the 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi. The targa-topped 308 GTS was a V-8 mid-engine, two-seater sports car produced by Ferrari...

In October 1996, American sports-car fans rejoiced the introduction of the C5 Corvette, the first "modern" Corvette. This all-new sports car introduced the now-legendary LS V-8 engine to the masses on a platform that was considered far-less problematic than its generational predecessor. This spiffy specimen, posted by Ryno Classifieds seller BUDGET CORNER, proves that entering the Corvette hobby t...

Sure, nearly 2.6-million third-generation Ford Mustangs rolled off the factory line between 1979 and 1993 and you've likely seen so many of these Fox bodies over the years that they may seem endless. How often, however, have you spotted a 225-hp 1991 Mustang GT pumping out 600hp to the rear wheels, all while still maintaining low miles, a somewhat-stock appearance and a fold-back convertible roof?...

One gander at this '34 Ford two-door sedan offered by Ryno seller Tazhog and it's hard not to associate it with the '33 Ford coupe, code name "Eliminator," made famous by "That Little Ol' Band from Texas" ZZ Top. A true pre-war-era Ford devotee may beg to differ that there are no less than 65 differences between the '33 and '34 models, most of them running production changes. Here are three to poi...
