One Howler of a Prowler
December 3rd, 2020 Chris Phillip
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...

Cozy Up with your Boss!
November 19th, 2020 Chris Phillip
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...

Which Way is Wally World?
October 28th, 2020 Chris Phillip
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...

Going Home with a Supermodel
October 19th, 2020 Chris Phillip
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...

Whoa, Horsey!
October 6th, 2020 Chris Phillip
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?...

Cue Up Some ZZ Top
September 23rd, 2020 Chris Phillip
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...

Stallone, Fawcett, Newton and You!
September 13th, 2020 Chris Phillip
Those dang Hollywood hipsters! Just give them a pile of Benjamins and they're off to buy a fancy throwback ride to park in front of their Beverly Hills mansions. That's the fascinating story of Hollywood and Clenet Coachworks, which hand-built a limited production run of Clark Gable-style cabriolets, which tickled the fancy (and the checkbooks) of Sylvester Stallone, Farrah Fawcett, Wayne Newton a...

When The Snake Met the Sheep
September 3rd, 2020 Chris Phillip
In the days before every Dodge offered the optional 707hp Hellcat engine (Hey, I'm not complaining here!), the brand's top dogs carried the identifier SRT-10. At the top of the food chain was the Viper SRT-10. Its offspring, the RAM 1500 SRT-10, was the most powerful production truck Dodge ever produced. Available only from 2004-2006, the Ram 1500 SRT-10 was home to the same 8.3-liter V10 engine,...
