We ocassionaly get calls with people who have rare cars they want to sell. Sometimes we can help suggest a buyer, other times we might be interested and still other times it is such an interesting car we like to share it with all of our readers. Here is one such car. I have seen one at a couple of shows and they are certainly interesting to the muscle car crowd. Here is the info that was supplied by the owner. This is a Rare Canadian Muscle Car. It is a 1965 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe... Read Full Story

Last time I told you about the race and provided some action photos from the track, However, in 24 hours you can only watch so much racing and you need a diversion. One of the best at this years 24 Hours of Daytona was the display of historic race cars just outside of turn 4. A small collection of hand picked examples of winning cars from the first 50 years of the 24 Hours of Daytona were on display for all to see and admire. I can’t say this was the best part of the weekend but I can’t say... Read Full Story

This is a continuation of our previous Post on the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona. This was thought to be a run away for the new Corvette Prototypes. The SunTrust sponsored Corvette was arguably the most beautiful car on the track and also looked to be the fastest. Unfortunately, it broke in the first half hour of the race and was unable to rejoin the fight. I do predict that before the season is over this Corvette and the other new prototypes  will be winning more than their share of races in the... Read Full Story

This year celebrated the 50th year of the first running of the 24 Hours of Daytona. I remember watching TV and seeing Dan Gurney sitting at the start-finish line with just minutes to go on that first running. Gurney blew an engine near the end of the race. He had over a 2 minute lead on second place. As the clock wound down (it is a timed race and not a distance race) he sat patiently in his car. When the flagman pulled out the checkered flag Gurney pushed in the clutch turned the wheel... Read Full Story

We needed a break and a little warm weather so what better way to do so than go to a Mecum Car Auction in Kissimmee, FL in January? Sure you can sit home by the fireplace and watch it on TV but being there is a great deal more enjoyable. What you see on TV is entertaining and I record every minute of it for later viewing but the live auction is better. I learned a lot by my first attendance at a Mecum Auction. I have gone to other car auctions from the big and glamorous Barrett Jackson... Read Full Story

Previously we brought you a video of the 1968 Daytona 500. By February 1969 the Daytona 500 was shapping up to be battle of all the aero cars. Ford drivers showed up with the Talladega. Even the Mercury drivers were in Talladegas since the Mercury Spoiler II was not even in production yet and therefore did not qualify for homologation. Unfortunately, the new Boss 429 engine also had not been homologated and the trusty 427 was in all the cars. Dodge showed up with what MOPAR fans thought was... Read Full Story

This weekend Speedweeks in Daytoan begins with the running of the 24 Hours of Daytona. We will be bringing you live photos and video from the track this weekend and more about the excitment of the event next week. Arguably, the Daytona 500 is the big event for most racers. If you are a NASCAR fan the big event is now just weeks away. Back in 1968 and 1969 it was a special time at the Speedway. The aero cars were just comming into their own. In 1968 the new Ford sportback Fairlane and... Read Full Story

This is actually the second time around for this car to be in our Project Car garage. The first time was two years ago when it got its mechanical update and modifications. It is a former drag car that has been converted back to the street. It was a little rough around the edges but a blast to drive with its “thumper” 428 CJ engine. It is an original 428 CJ car with factory air and automatic, leather interior and XR7 upgrades. This time around it is the body that will get the attention and... Read Full Story

Since we are about to have our Barn Find Project AMX back on the road I thought is might be time for a little history lesson. Many car enthusiasts think of the American Motors Corporation (AMC) as builders of little economy cars. Some of you younger guys probably don’t even know that AMC ever existed! It’s true they focused on small well built, safe and sane economy cars but they when they didn’t they went all out. In 1968 they jumped into the sports car world to challenge Chevrolet and the...
