The Plymouth Superbird is a car you will never forget once you see it. If you ever saw it on the race track there was nothing like it…well, other than the Dodge Daytona! Even when it was on the smaller ovals out in the Midwest in 1970-71 it was a site to behold.
Ramo Stott owned and raced this beauty to the 1970-71 ARCA Championship and it still retains its original sheet metal and is unrestored.
We have just added this historical race car to our Feature Car page and encourage you to ta... Read Full Story
If you ever wonder what might have been when it comes to cars from the factory; we just added two cars to our Feature Car pages that you will want to check out. The first is the 1970 Ford King Cobra. It is a wild and fast 1970 Ford Torino prototype that was to be the top seat at NASCAR in 1970. The second is its Mercury counter part the 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II.
These cars are owned by Steve Honnel of Tennessee and are driven and shown regularly. If you ever get the opportunity to see ... Read Full Story

This is the last post on the 40th Reunion of the Aero Warriors at the Talladega Super Speedway. The Dodge Daytons, Plymouth Superbirds, Ford Talladegas, Charger 500s and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler IIs all got their chance to recreate that magical time back in 1969 when Stock Cars were Stock Cars and race drives had to drive the cars even on the speedways.
We were not allowed to open em up and fly around the banking but the sheer experience of being able to once again bring t... Read Full Story

We try to check out car museums when ever and where ever we find them. The smaller ones are often little more than a few poorly restored oddball cars displayed in a dusty environment. When we visit the bigger and better venues it is a real treat.
A new museum will be opening after January 1, 2010 in Alexander City, Alabama. It is the Wellborn Muscle Car Museum and we had an opportunity to get a preview while we were attending the 40th Anniversary of the NASCAR Aero Car Re... Read Full Story

We all have that dream of finding the rare winged Dodge Daytona in a barn covered in dust but otherwise prisitne. It may be just like one we saw fishtail away from a stop light in a street race late one night when we were out cruiseing with a bunch of buddies or it may be one we lusted over in a new car show room many years ago. For most of us this is simply a dream that will never be fullfilled. For others the impossible does happen.
Katrina did not find her dream in a ba... Read Full Story

When Tim and Pam Wellborn invite car folks over for a visit they know how to do it right! During the 2009 Aero Car Reunion these Mopar collectors made even us humble Ford collectors feel special. The Wellborn Estate, known as Russwood, is a treasure in its own right but when you add some of Tim and Pam’s cars along with all the visiting Aero Cars it is truly a place like no other.
We started early in the afternoon and went well into the evening for our first day of t... Read Full Story
Can you imagine pulling into your local Sonic drive-in and finding a row of 1969/70 aero muscle cars sitting there? How about two 1969 Dodge Daytons, a 1969 Dodge 500, a 1969 Ford Talladega and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird all in a row plus multiple more Daytonas, Superbirds, and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler IIs scattered around? Well, that is just what happened last week in Alexander City Alabama when we all pulled into town for the Daytona Superbird Auto Club Aero Car Annual Reunion.

Katrina and I just returned from four fabulous days of playing with our Ford Talladega and a bunch of terrific Mopar and Blue Oval folks at Talladega! We have a long list of stories to tell and nearly a 1,000 photos plus videos to sort through.
We will be posting stories, Feature Cars and more over the next few weeks.
I am not sure how many of these vintage Winged Warriors from NASCAR’s Aero Wars days were at the event. There were different cars at each activity; so... Read Full Story
This book just hit the shelves and if you don’t hurry it will be gone and unavailable for Christmas. This is another Motorbook coffee table book you must have if you have ever thought of owning a Muscle Car. It is a master piece of photography and turns are dreams into cars to lust over.
There is data provided on every car and some historical information but the photos are what will make you drop to your knees, face Detroit and say a prayer of thanks. This isn’t some goofy guys id... Read Full Story
