Everyone agrees that the Marvel Multiverse is an abject dumpster fire, but so is this next car, so I’m gonna just run with it. Welcome to the another reboot of Batman in a distant dimension that begins with the tragic orphaning of a young Bruce Wayne. In this realm, his parents’ fortune swiftly dwindled due […]
I saw this next car and light up with the possibility of a Yamaha R1 powered Mini, at least until I took a peek at the underhood photos. Yup. Stock Austin 4-cylinder in installed in the vehicle and the Yamaha engine (with custom subframe) is offered on the side. Find this 1976 Austin Mini offered […]
I was watching some James Bond movie the other day and his Aston Martin had machine guns hidden behind the headlamps…which was cool, but only when he pressed some hidden button and popped up those Gatling barrels to smoke some baddies. If you want the experience of having twin rotating machine guns exposed all the […]
Berkeley Cars Ltd out of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England had a short run of low-priced sporty microcars starting back in 1956 and ultimately ending in bankruptcy in 1960. Unfortunately, the company was just starting to get their formula of front-wheel-drive motorcycle powered fiberglass things with cars like the Sports SE492 when their main business (building Glass-reinforced […]
The typical vintage T-Bucket replica goes like this; off-the-shelf tube axle front end kit, bucket of fiberglass, Ford 9-inch rear end, TH350 slushbox, Chevy 350 small bloc—whoa…who put that Chebby part in my Ford?

The Taurus SHO (Super High Output) was a limited edition sports sedan built by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team, yup the same guys who developed the SVO Mustang, Mustang Cobra, etc. A first generation SHO may feel slow in comparison to today’s big DOHC V6s mounted in every economy sedan (or the twin turbo 3.5 V6 […]
There are a lot of interesting ideas that manufacturers have come up with that didn’t pan out littering Craigslist. Back in the 80’s, a few manufacturers thought that if big wheels worked on ATV’s and Quad’s, why not on two wheelers. The results didn’t exactly define a new category of motorbike. Find this 1987 Yamaha […]
It’s always nice when you find something old that has escaped the clutches of the modifiers and “ride it hard and put it away wet” types of owners. That is especially cool when it is a one year only model of limited production. Here’s one that is celebrating it’s 45th birthday this year. Find this […]
A lot of cool old stuff that was just an affordable old car a few years ago has turned into a collectible automobile with prices to match. Blame Barrett-Jackson, the Fed, Brexit, QE and QE2, or whatever, but amassing a collection is going to take you a few bucks as well as space. Motorcycles haven’t […]
One would think that if you were the first American to win the GP motorcycle World Championship and then you went on to win it two more times, you’d be a household name. Add to that if you won the AMA Grand National twice and are one of only four riders to win the AMA […]
