The Carboniferous epoch, which occurred within the Paleozoic era spanning from approximately 360 to 300 million years ago, is renowned for hosting one of the most significant mass extinctions in Earth’s history, the Permian-Triassic event. It’s also the era during which the majority of present-day coal reserves were created. The automotive epoch that most closely […]
I know it might be cliche to post yet ANOTHER customized El Camino on DT…but here we are. This time someone took a Chrysler 300 SRT8 and turned it into an SRUT8 or 3l Caminoo? El Caminyess? Anway, the Dodge/Chrysler Charger/300 platform seems to be El Caminoized on a regular basis, probably because it is […]
This next beast from another era comes as a tip from FuelTruck who writes: A decidedly non-woke car from the Vegas-Elvis era. This thing would look good in the background of a Scorsese movie. Indeed, this car is indeed a relic from the past and it looks more at home in an episode of the […]
Although the name had been used for trim designations in the past, the Chrysler Newport was first introduced as its own thing for the 1961 model year. The Newport was the least expensive Chrysler available at the showrooms with a base price of $2964 and was a mélange of small hubcaps and minimal chrome, but […]
You might look at this next car and say (rightfully) “that’s a lotta cash to pay for an old Chrysler minivan”. You’d be correct, but you haven’t looked at the finer details of this thing…it’s got a manual gearbox, and a turbocharger and a second engine sitting in the back. There is a reason that […]
(by CFlo) There are those who would say an old full-size American wagon just ain’t right unless it has acres of Di-Noc simulated wood applied to its sides. If it’s faded fake wood, you get bonus points for patina. At the DT offices we had a wood-delete all blue 1994 Buick Roadmaster that bucked this […]
Ever see a car and the first thing you think is: I wonder what it would cost to replace a piece of glass in thing…if I could even find it. You might get that feeling if you owned this next car, or you might be concerned about getting some piece of trim or one of […]
Another day, another new online marketplace for collector cars. Yes, Hagerty has put their name into the hat of places where you can buy and sell classic cars. The question isn’t “do we need another place to over pay for nostalgic cars?” but “which way will this drive prices?” Obviously, I am against the seller-friendly-buyer-pays-and-takes-all-the-risk […]
This next car comes from the time right after World War II, when automakers took their old pre-war designs out of mothballs and restarted manufacturing consumer products. The New Yorker was a giant rumbling piece of steel that was powered by a 323 cubic inch straight-8 and today’s example is offered for a great price […]
You know what makes a great combination — wide fender flares, huge turbocharger, manual gearbox, rear-wheel-drive, and neck chopping automatic seat belts. The only thing you need to make it a BUY-BUY-BUY is if you added some muppet skin interior…AND a cheap price because it doesn’t run correctly. Find this 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSI offered […]
