LS6-Powered 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS Is The King Of Muscle Cars
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, Client, Handpicked

Finding a clean example of a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS LS6 these days is like finding a unicorn hidden among the horses. There are many variants of the Chevelle that were made during this time, but the LS6-powered ones were highly coveted beasts, that have the meat to keep up with the muscle car madness on the roads today. Example in this kind of condition are becoming harder to find by the day, and as soon as one becomes available for sale, they’re usually gone by the next day.

Finished in a stunning original Black Cherry paint with white racing stripes, this iconic muscle car coupe is from the “The Great Highway Collection,” being offered by MAG Auctions.

Powering this potent muscle car is the highly coveted LS6 454-cubic-inch big-block V8 engine fed by a 4-barrel carburetor. Backing the powerful engine is a manual transmission, making it a fun driver’s car for someone who has never grown tired of snatching gears.

The ’70 Chevelle 454 is one of the first cars that come to mind when thinking of the muscle car era and is more desirable than ever. This big-bodied street machine kicked off a new decade, but it would also be one of the last produced before new emissions regulations put in place that would slowly kill off muscle cars altogether in favor of fuel efficiency.

MAG Auctions is the exclusive Auction House for Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada. The auction takes place August 5–7. Please feel free to contact us to consign your vehicle or register to bid. The sale features classics, muscle cars, pickups, and motorcycles. With over 500 vehicles on our docket, you are sure to find your next ride.

Illinois Village Stumbles On Barn Find Cars

Tags: American, Classic, 50s, News

It’s not every day you hear about a village becoming the new owner of some barn find cars, but that’s exactly what’s going on with the village of Durand in Illinois. The village purchased a barn which hasn’t been touched in several decades. While there were rumors about what might be inside, everyone was amazed to get a glimpse of the contents.

See what a $1 million barn find car looks like here.

Buried in the rubble of wooden crates and other vintage items were 3 classic cars, all in original condition. There’s a Ford Thunderbird, Fairlane 500, and a Ford Courier ambulance with the gumball light still attached to the roof. All are from the 1959 model year. Apparently, the former owner of the barn was a collector, but people weren’t sure if the man had left anything of value behind.

Video taken by local journalists show the interiors, like the exteriors, of these classic Fords are original. That’s quite the find and this highlights why people go crazy over barn finds. While one of the village officials seems to think the cars might not be worth as much since they aren’t running, she hopefully understands the originality of these machines is a key factor in their market value.

Thankfully, a classic car expert from Chicago has been assisting with evaluating and appraising each car. No doubt, each one will need a fair amount of mechanical restoration before they run well, but finding a factory-original interior for a 1959 of any make and model becomes increasingly difficult with each passing year.

The 3 classic Fords are for sale and officials say offers have been pouring in. One interested party contacted the non-profit organization coordinating the sale all the way from New Zealand, showing that people around the world are very much interested in classic American cars.

The 4th of July, has nothing to do with me.
Tags: 4th Of July, British, Americans, Independence Day, Black Ancestors

The 4th of July, has nothing to do with me.

You will never find me ridiculing people celebrating Independence Day. I would appreciate my lack of appreciation for it, like wise being respected. By 1776, my ancestors were being treated like pets…horses and vermin. I cant say “dogs”, as America has shown more respect and love for dogs, than Blacks, generally speaking. Like the U.S. Constitution, the nations flag, Christianity, etc., it didnt have anything to do with my family, save for being a descriptor forced upon them.

Since becoming a “conscious” Black man and learning truths about humanity and of course America, my thoughts, passions, love, lies with my ancestors. They went through so damn much, for so damn long, my heart wont let me dishonor them or their sacrifice for something not applicable to them from Americas heart and soul. “They” are who I owe my life and soul too.

The British, Americans…same diff, too me. They were then, as they are now, cousins. Both guilty of wrecking nations and lives for centuries…actually, milleniums. To sit back and now blame the descendants of the very families they have, perhaps, have ruined the remainder of their existence. So hell no. I wont accept someones Independence Day as mine, no more than I am accepting someone telling me this is the day to celebrate my God-given right of freedom.

When I became, conscious, woke, whatever, that was my period of feeling as good as others feel about their flags, days, monuments, 2nd Amendment, etc. Realizing who I really owed and all they had done and survived. You enjoy your symbols and days, while I enjoy my love, praise and adoration for my family.
1966 Chevelle Hits The Nitrous Express
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, News, 60s

It’s hard to go wrong with a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle. After all, the cars look amazing, and even though they don’t push the kind of performance you get with later model years, they’re still pretty fun. However, as demonstrated with this build, you can certainly elevate the performance of a ’66 to suit your preferences.

Check out an insane restomod ’66 Chevelle here.

The owner of this car has had it since 1983. We love to see these kinds of stories, because not everyone has car ADHD where they’re constantly getting bored of one of their 10 classic vehicles in their garage, taking to social media to when about it, then selling it and getting something else exciting, only to repeat the process again.

image credit: YouTube

Instead, this guy has built this ’66 Chevelle Malibu to be the muscle car of his dreams. He took the bone-stock Chevy with a 283ci V8 and has been upgrading it since, having installed 7 different engines and many more transmissions. That’s what we call dedication!

Presently, this Chevelle has a 350ci small block V8 installed, which is an incredibly common engine and for good reason. He’s stroked this engine and has added nitrous for plenty of extra kick at the track or when looking to impress someone, which it most certainly does. You’ll see it in action in the video and it looks like a lot of good fun.

image credit: YouTube

Now, we get a fair amount of readers have similar stories, so we’re not saying this guy or his vehicle is anything super special. Instead, we like to celebrate these everyday gearheads who just really love the car they’ve owned for a long time and have constantly tinkered with, finally arriving at a pretty magical formula. If you have a special car, we’d love to hear about it. Every now and then we highlight a reader’s ride, so shoot us a message.
Matte Black Cutlass Shows Off Ridiculously Powerful Engine
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, 80s, Newsletter, News

The 1980s were a ridiculously famous time for the now world-renowned GM G-body platform. Legends of these insane cars are typically full of hard-hitting low quarter-mile times set to loud rock music as the upgraded engine spits flames down the asphalt stretch. Chances are if you’ve ever been to the race track, you’ve been beaten by one of these drag strip dominators. Of course, this legend comes from a good reason. These incredible cars have become famous for their aerodynamic design and incredible engines, most notably the turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 that came in the Buick GNX. This is a prime example of such a car, a matte black 9-second quarter-mile monster with a surprisingly gigantic V8 under the hood.

Under the hood of this incredible monster is a turbocharged 468 cubic inch V8 that pushes some ridiculously high horsepower numbers with the help of an 85mm S500 Turbocharger. That incredible setup takes this beast down the quarter-mile in just 9 seconds. It is also quite clear that the driver knows that due to his constant effort to show off. From intentional late starts to tiny burnouts that seem almost amateur, this guy knows how to get into his opponent’s head. For instance, in the first race of this detailed video, the driver is pitted up against a classic first-generation Camaro with a Chevy Big Block under the hood.

The race started with both cars lining up for a burnout. While the Camaro stayed planted and ripped out an incredible burnout leaving the crowd in ohs and ahs, this bad 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass decided to keep it short and sweet. As the light starting tree lit up from yellow to green the Camaro leaped off the line as if the finish line was its prey. However, the Cutlass took its time on launch, and when it finally took off it beat that Mustang hunter into the ground with a staggering full second lead despite having launch .85 seconds after the Camaro. It also appears that the driver is holding back the capabilities of the car as, in the final race of the video, the quarter-mile is completed in just 8.9 seconds which is the fastest we’ve seen from the car so far.
Get Double Entries As A Motorious Reader To Win This 2021 Corvette
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Client, Sports, Handpicked

Chevrolet went all out turning the new C8 Corvette into a budget minded American supercar, and you can WIN one now with the code WIN for double the entries. While it kept the 495-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, the position of that powerplant within the car allowed for better use of its power. Likewise, moving the engine behind the driver also created room for better aerodynamics that added an absolutely stunning look. Every single curve, every ridge, is functional and the cars capabilities are evidence of that fact. With a 0–60-mph time of 2.8-seconds, the new Corvette has a top-speed of 194-mph. This matches the ZR1 up to 60-mph.

This 2021 C8 Corvette is pictured in a stunning Arctic White finish accented by a Carbon Flash painted nacelles and a set of Carbon Flash painted aluminum 5-open-spoke wheels. Inside the cockpit you’ll find a premium interior complete with the 3LT Equipment Group with GT2 bucket seats and a black leather upholstery. On top of making the new Corvette’s interior more luxurious, Chevy also made it even more driver focused with a tilted head-up display.

Making the C8 Corvette the fastest base model example is a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine with 495-horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an electronic limited-slip differential with a performance ratio rear axle. Adding to this Corvettes capabilities is the Z51 Performance Package which includes upgrades to its suspension and Brembo braking systems.
$1-Million Mid Engine Charger Custom Built For Fast 9
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, News, Celebrity

From the very beginning, Dom’s Charger captivated audiences. With its unmistakable stance and an enormous blower sticking out of the hood, it is arguably one of the most popular cars of the series and undeniably helped to build the franchise into what it is today. However, throughout its stint in film, the 1970 Dodge Charger has been “destroyed,” rebuilt, and upgraded but it has pretty much always been there in one form or another.

There is apparently no exception for the upcoming F9 film either as pictures have been released that show the car in the background of the film’s opening scenes. While we will all just have to wait and see what kind of role the Charger of previous films plays in the new movie, what we do know is that Dom does get a major Charger upgrade in the form of a $1-million custom build.

Veteran vehicle supervisor Dennis McCarthy returned to work on the saga for the new film and with help from the SpeedKore team developed the newest version of the Dom Charger. When asked, McCarthy said, “Coming up with a fresh version of a Dom Charger gets trickier with every new installment because there isn’t much that we haven’t already done.” Even still, it seems like the crew really knocked it out of the park with this one.

With a Dodge Hellcat engine, a unique engine location, and a mix of old and new technology, this Charger is sure to top at least some enthusiast’s list of all time favorite Fast and Furious cars. Oh and just in case you missed the trailers, this Charger is not the only one to be seen in the film. In addition to this car and Dom’s old car, a 1970 Charger Tantrum and a 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat also make appearances as well.
Stunning Cord Beverly Gets The Restomod Treatment
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Classic, Client, Handpicked

Ahead of its time in 1936, the Cord Beverly was the first American designed and built car to feature front wheel drive and hidden headlights. It also revolutionized the way front ends were designed with its radiator being completely hidden behind horizontal louvers. Other features included a concealed fuel filler door and variable-speed windshield wipers. While these items may seem like small enhancements, at a time when vacuum operated windshield wipers were standard, it was a big deal to be able to see and accelerate at the same time during a rainstorm. However ahead of the competition a car is, it hardly ever remains that way and as such today the very few Cords that remain are no longer ground-breaking vehicles. With this in mind there are few other cars that are as deserving of the restomod treatment than the Beverly.

This 1936 Cord Beverly was delivered to Young’s Kustoms Inc. with the simple instruction to “build it right” and the team truly delivered. The rebuild included some original and OEM sheet metal and some hand fabricated sheet metal as well. Finishing off the no-expense-spared body reconstruction is a Pale Agave Kirker finish that is truly eye-catching. WheelSmith Artillery wheels were wrapped in Coker whitewall tires giving the car a very original look.

Inside is an original looking dash with a double din touchscreen stereo mounted low so as to not stand out. Likewise a custom-made gray leather upholstery does not stand out as un-original either but tastefully adds a modern touch to a classic design. Under hood and underpinning modifications to the originally front wheel drive car were more extreme. For power, a new GM crate engine topped with an FI Tech fuel injection system was installed longitudinally and is backed by a TH350 automatic transmission. Underpinnings include a leaf sprung 1980s GM rear end and a Jaguar XJ6 front suspension. This is an absolutely stunning car that is sure to draw attention on the street as well as at the show.

Another Mustang, Another Power Pole
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, News, Modern Classic

Hot on the heels of covering two street racing Mustangs resulting in one crashing into a power pole in Indianapolis, we have another video of a Mustang driver hot dogging it, only to plant the front end of his pony car into a power pole. Dangerous Mustangs are definitely back with a vengeance and they might be ensuring you don’t have air conditioning during the summer heat.

Compare this to a similar incident here.

We have no idea where this video was taken, but if we had to guess we’d say it was somewhere in Tennessee. A Mustang is ripping a nice rolling burnout on a public road, something we absolutely don’t suggest, when he loses control of the muscle car, swerves left, overcorrects, and veers right into the power pole. The onlookers shout in dismay as the pony’s hood crumples and the sound of crinkled plastic and metal resonates.

image credit: Facebook

Unlike in the Indianapolis incident, no sparks shoot from the power lines up top and the pole only leans a little. The fact this guy wasn’t going very fast while roasting his rear tires is probably why the damage to the local grid wasn’t as severe, although his car doesn’t look so good.

This guy’s buddies or whatever they are don’t seem too concerned about the driver or the car. Instead of rushing over, they stay where they are and say things like, “That happened,” and, “Please tell me you got that on video.” Then they uploaded the video to Facebook for all to see and mock the driver’s stupidity.

image credit: Facebook

As for this disturbing trend of Ford Mustangs hitting power poles, there are two competing theories we’re kicking around. One is this is some desperate attempt by enthusiasts to discourage people from buying the all-electric Mustang Mach-E. The other possibility is that Mustangs are magnetically attracted to wood power poles. Either way, this is just painful to watch.

Check Out These Classic GM Design Sketches
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Classic, News

Periodically, the GM Design team will share some interesting historical items on social media, giving us a break from horrifying possibilities for the future Chevy Camaro. A prime example is a set of design sketches from the 1930s and 1940s which had been collected by the former vice president of design Harley Earl, who kept these and other sketches in scrapbooks which he stored in his office. That was a smart thing to do, because preserving the sketches that way has ensured they can be enjoyed by future generations instead of having been lost forever.

These designs are far better than what some current GM designers have been dreaming up for the next Camaro. See the difference here.

These sketches show how forward-thinking GM was back when it was becoming the formidable power in the automotive industry. Simple, Art Deco-inspired designs with strong, athletic lines made the cars in the sketches appear larger than life. In one of the renderings by none other than George Lawson, who designed the original Tucker Torpedo, a woman drives a convertible on a runway as a plane flies low overhead and she extends her right hand upwards as if to touch the flying machine. The auto giant was Icarus flying toward the sun on its new wings, seemingly unstoppable in its market ascent.

image credit: Instagram

Most notable among the sketches is the first-gen Cadillac Series 62, a legendary automobile, which was drawn by none other than Art Ross in 1937. His line drawing perfectly captures the kinetic motion of the large, gracefully-styled car as it speeds down the road and toward the viewer. Ross had a hand in the final design of the Series 62, working alongside Bill Mitchell.

image credit: Instagram

Of course, Ross went on to help design many iconic classic Cadillacs and Buicks. Among the designs credited to the man as the Cadillac Fleetwood and LaSalle, as well as the Buick Y-Job, which is considered the first concept car produced by General Motors.

image credit: Instagram

Some of the earliest examples included in the GM Design Archive & Special Collections come from Earl’s scrapbooks. We hope the GM Design team shares more of these early vehicle design drawings as they’re invaluable historical artifacts we know enthusiasts will appreciate.

Thieves Steal Dead Man’s Classic Cars
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, Sports, 70s, News

A woman in Cabot, Arkansas is once again mourning as her late father’s 1977 Chevrolet Corvette and 1978 Mustang were stolen. Both classic cars were fully restored by the man who raised her, making them a physical connection to him. Now they’re both gone and Vicky Smith wants nothing more than for their safe return.

See car thieves use a stolen Mercedes to smash through a driveway gate here.

The red C3 Corvette and blue Mustang were both sitting her Smith’s father’s driveway when they were stolen sometime on May 28. Smith had been at the house cleaning and organizing things that day, but when she returned on May 29 to continue the work, both cars had vanished.

Unfortunately, there’s no surveillance footage of the crime. Smith’s father had cameras up, but the internet at the house was switched off, so no video is available. The fact the thieves still boosted both vehicles with cameras up, which easily could have been recording their every move, shows how brazen they were about the crime.

image credit: YouTube

Police in Cabot are investigating the theft, but so far there are no notable developments. Smith has been doing her own poking around at car shops and other places, but so far she hasn’t turned up any leads.

The plan was for the Corvette and Mustang to be left to Smith’s children. It was a “big deal” that had both boys excited. They worked on the cars with their grandfather. Neither car is particularly valuable on the market, but some people will steal just about anything that isn’t nailed down, even if they don’t get a small fortune for all the risk.

As Smith so aptly noted, the thieves only took the cars because they can get money for them. But for her, the cars have endless sentimental value. We sincerely hope she does get both vehicles back intact. If you know anything about these stolen vehicles, contact the Cabot police.

1932 Ford Victoria: Bring A Trailer Is Bringing Back The Nefarious Side Of The ‘30s
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Classic, Client, Handpicked

Beyond this dark and intriguing history, Ford’s cars from the era were masterpieces in design and style. To this day, these sleekly appointed cars, when well preserved and correctly restored, bring back a nostalgia that few other vehicles can. One such example of this was recently posted for sale on Bring a Trailer and it does not disappoint.

This 1932 Ford Victoria was a part of the DeAtley Collection in 2010, when the current owner acquired it. Today it is finished in black with red pinstriping and red bent-spoke wheels. Under the hood is the infamous 221-cid Flathead V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Inside is a well equipped cabin featuring a gray broadcloth upholstery, a glossy wood trimmed dash, and an engine turned instrument panel.

No matter how perfect a design is from the factory there is always room for improvement and this 1932 Ford Victoria is no exception. Upgrades to the classic car include a dropped front axle, front radius rods, a billet steering column bracket, Westach gauges, modern spark plug wires, and an aftermarket puller fan. Other features include transverse leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, an Offenhauser intake manifold, and dual Stromberg carburetors.

With just 1,700-miles on the clock since the refurbishment was concluded this car is not offered on dealer consignment in Oregon with a clean Arizona title. For more information click here.

Cadillac CTS-V Stolen And Crashed In Texas
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, News, Luxury, Modern Classic

Chris Netterville of College Station, Texas woke up Sunday morning to find his beloved Cadillac CTS-V missing. While his initial reaction was to wonder if it had been towed, the reality was it had been stolen and crashed on the highway, putting another driver in the hospital. Now he’s trying to make sense of the crime, especially since the wrecked car had tremendous sentimental value.

Watch a modified CTS-V hit 200 mph on the track here.

Netterville originally purchased the CTS-V because his late friend Brandon Strope had one. After testing out his friend’s car, Netterville fell in love. After Strope died from a heart condition, Netterville decided his Cadillac would be a rolling memorial to the man.

photo credit: Facebook

According to police, Curtis Owens, 20, of Hearne was taken into custody at the crash site. He has multiple outstanding warrants for other crimes. What charges he might be facing in connection to the stolen Cadillac haven’t been revealed.

What makes this story even more heart-wrenching is the fact Netterville didn’t buy just any Cadillac CTS-V. After saving up his money throughout high school, at the age of just 19 he bought a Black Diamond Edition car. There aren’t many of those around, so replacing the vehicle would be difficult if not impossible. According to Cadillac, the distinct tri-coat black paint is embedded with SpectraFlair Bright Silver pigment, which uses aluminum flakes encapsulated in magnesium fluoride, which is glass-like, giving the paint an extra sparkle.

photo credit: Facebook

Other unique appointments were included on the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond Edition cars, like 19-inch Satin Graphite wheels, yellow Brembo brake calipers, and Midnight Sapele wood trim for the interior.

“It’s heartbreaking man. I worked my butt off for it in high school and saved up as much money as I could and bought my dream car, and it just sucks to see something you worked for so hard gone in seconds,” said Netterville.

This serves as yet another reminder that if you own a special car you should take extra precautions to secure it. This could involve garaging it at night, installing surveillance cameras, using an aftermarket alarm, hiding a kill switch, getting a watch dog, etc. Make your ride less enticing to criminals or you might end up in a similar situation.

1931 Chevy Restoration Gets Supreme Court Ruling
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Classic, News

Whether you’re a car enthusiast, investor, or a shop owner, the recent Iowa Supreme Court ruling for Al Poller and Deb Poller vs. Okoboji Classic Cars, LLC could have big ramifications. The case involved a 1931 Chevrolet the Pollers took to Okoboji Classic Cars for restoration work after seeing the results of the shop’s labors. However, the result was anything but what they Pollers said they wanted and that’s where the legal trouble began.

This reminds us of the lawsuit NFL player Malik Jackson brought against West Coast Customs last year. Read about that here.

According to paperwork filed with the court, the Pollers paid $45,000 up front for the restoration of their ’31 Chevy. They claimed to have made a verbal agreement with Okoboji Classic Cars that the final bill would not exceed that amount. Most people don’t have bottomless pockets to pay for a car restoration, so it’s understandable why setting a limit to what can be spent would be important.

The kicker came when the shop provided a final bill for $112,367, well over twice what the Pollers said they could afford. After the case went to district court and both sides presented their case, the judge ruled Okoboji Classic Cars was due the balance of $67,396. However, that decision was appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, which reversed the lower court’s ruling.

In the decision, the Iowa Supreme Court explains the shop had violated the law by keeping the classic Chevrolet if it wasn’t paid the balance of the bill. It also clarified that in Iowa the law states a supplier must notify a consumer of several rights and provide authorization forms for work, something Okoboji Classic Cars failed to do. The court also ruled that the oral agreement between the Pollers and the shop was binding. In other words, a shop can’t just run up the bill after a customer tells them to limit work to a specific dollar amount.

This case reminds us of the lawsuit reportedly filed by Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Malik Jackson against West Coast Customs last summer. Jackson claimed the shop kept asking for more money on projects after they had agreed to a certain budget. As far as we know, that case is still making its way through the court system, but there’s always a possibility of the parties settling privately.

1970 Chevelle Nets Almost $400K At Auction
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, Newsletter, 70s, News

For most people, the concept of paying six digits for a car seems ludicrous, although it’s normally the realm of Ferraris, McLarens, and other exotic or ultra-luxury brands. However, when a classic car like this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle exceeds the $100,000 mark it can be far more perplexing considering how affordable it was when new. That’s why it’s extra amazing to learn this particular Chevelle auctioned for a cool $385,000 at the Mecum Kissimmee event recently.

Check out the coolest Chevelles on Motorious here.

photo credit: Mecum

While it’s not unheard of for Chevelles to sell for six digits — several did during the Kissimmee event alone — almost hitting $400,000 is unusual. However, there’s a reason for that extra-lofty price and it has to do in part with the “holy grail” engine, an LS6.

photo credit: Mecum

If you’re not aware, General Motors back in the day had a corporate policy against any V8 over 400ci being used in an A-Body car like the Chevelle. With the muscle car wars in full swing, that policy was retracted for 1970, hence why this convertible was graced with a numbers-matching 454 big block V8.

That alone is enough to get your heart pumping, but sweetening the deal further is a Muncie Rock Crusher close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and 3.31 Positraction rear included, both numbers-matching. Power steering, power front disc brakes, and the F41 heavy-duty suspension are also included.

photo credit: Mecum

As you can see from the photos, this Chevelle SS Convertible looks fantastic, having gone through an extensive restoration. It’s also supposed to be the first LS6 Chevelle Convertible to be Diamond Certified, thanks in part to the extensive documentation included. Also, this car was featured in Muscle Car Enthusiast magazine and the book Chevelle 1964–72 Muscle Car Color History. It has had a short list of notable owners, including Volo Auto Museum at one point.

You might still be mystified about why this Chevelle commanded such a high price from the auction block. Well-heeled investors obviously felt it was worth as much and that’s reason enough.
Barn Find 1969 Road Runner Could Be Your Next Project Car
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Muscle, Newsletter, 60s, Handpicked

For many reasons people really get excited about barn find cars. It’s like finding pirate treasure buried on the beach, only it’s a car someone lovingly shoved into a barn or other structure for years on end without properly covering it. Sometimes they do absolutely nothing to preserve the car in any meaningful way and that can cause all kinds of problems. Then other people shell out big bucks for the opportunity to own the low-mileage, rough-condition vehicle. That brings us to this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner being sold on Motorious.

Check out a Road Runner with a Hellcat heart here.

photo credit: Speed Digital

As you can see from the photos, this classic Mopar muscle car hasn’t been touched up in the least, so it’s still in barn find condition. For many that adds value, although others will automatically want to wash it, do paint correction, detail the interior, etc. The beautiful thing is if you buy it, the car is yours to do with as you please.

photo credit: Speed Digital

This Road Runner is still wearing the factory-applied Bronze Fire Metallic paint and the vinyl roof. It rolls on 15-inch factory wheels but isn’t currently running. That’s right, the 426ci Hemi V8 under the hood needs some work, but it and the 3-speed automatic seem to be the original installed by Plymouth.

photo credit: Speed Digital

Even better, the interior is far cleaner and doesn’t show its age nearly as much. Plus, it’s loaded with the OE controls for a presentation that’s sadly becoming harder and harder to find these days.

Everyone will have an opinion about this classic muscle car, its condition, and the asking price. And while people can make up their mind, what really matters is what someone who has the ability to buy it thinks. We suspect someone will see a diamond in the rough, an original beauty that tells a story worth keeping around. Check out the listing on Motorious for yourself here.

California Highway Driver Does Dukes Of Hazzard Jump
By: Sam Maven
Tags: American, Classic, Newsletter, News

Sometimes people do crazy things behind the wheel of a car and they later live to regret it, if they’re lucky. Recently, a California driver traveling on Highway 99 in Modesto launched their sedan into the air in a stunt that looks like something straight out of The Dukes of Hazzard. Unlike the incident authorities tried to put the lid on in Detroit where a driver purposely jumped a retracting drawbridge, this stunt seems to be a complete accident and not intentionally at all.

image credit: YouTube

Luckily the stunt was caught on camera, otherwise people would say it never happened. After all, we live in the age of everyone carrying a phone with a camera embedded in it, not to mention cameras on cars and buildings, so the craziness is often captured and easily shared through social media.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver in this incident, who hasn’t been identified, was distracted while traveling down Highway 99. The car veered off the highway and up a grassy embankment before launching into the air. With the sun shining behind the trees behind the car jump, the whole thing almost looks picturesque.

In all honesty, there’s little that’s funny about this incident. Thankfully, the driver only sustained minor injuries, but it could’ve been so much worse. Every year, people are killed when they drive distracted, not to mention innocent people are killed by distracted drivers.

CHP took this opportunity to remind people they need to be paying attention to what’s going on around them at all times while driving, even on a straight stretch of highway they drive every day. Drivers also need to keep their hands on the steering wheel, otherwise something like this could happen, only the landing might not be nearly as graceful.

Beach Buggy Racing 2

Beach Buggy Racing 2 is very similar to games like Mario Kart. This is a go-kart racer with a variety of special abilities that give you an edge. The players will have multiple routes in a variety of locations, each with its own obstacles in your path. The game features 45-power-ups, with more than 40 cards to collect, online, Pvp, different settings, and a variety of game modes. I would really like to have the service features, such as chat, play, and the Google Play Games achievements. After all, it is the first single-player game from the same makers of the Riptide GP series. In the Desert series, which has the following characteristics. Also, it is a good game.

The game includes five card grades, and a career mode, custom maps, and a variety of control schemes. In addition, it has above average, but the mechanics are different and an adaptable system of the player with other players in multiplayer. While the graphics aren’t the best in comparison to most of the other games on this list, and it’s better than the first game in the series. However, the level of customization, and more than makes up for it. This is a cheap premium player, with no in-app purchases or ads.

KartRider Rush+

KartRider Rush+ is an arcade kart racer. The game has several game modes, including speed, mode, arcade mode, ranked mode, and story mode. Even in the time trials, so that you can use to reduce your time on any track. In addition, there are a lot of different settings to make your fighters make it the way you want it to. Also, there are power-ups to help you out in the middle of the race. The mechanics are very interesting, even if they lack a sense of realism. Game updates are coming at a rapid pace, and some of the characters are locked to paywalls. We’re not big fans of it, but otherwise, the game is very good.

Pro-Abortion Hypocrisy Has Never Been Clearer
By: Al Black
Tags: Abortion, Womens Rights, Politics, Contraception, Pro Life

Your post is a good example of the hypocrisy of the Left: IVF should be against the law; it removes the one remaining evolutionary filter on the next generation: In sexual reproduction, the strongest, fastest sperm makes it to the ovum, ensuring the best chance for the resulting embryo to be healthy. Added to this is the obvious fact that both the male and the female need to be fertile. Survival of the Fittest is Darwin’s Law of evolution: it is unnatural and anti-evolution to artificially fertilise an egg with defective sperm in a test tube. If this practise becomes widespread, eventually no-one will be able to reproduce without IVF: do we really want that? And the morality of fertilising multiple eggs and then discarding the excess embryos as if they were garbage is just another reason IVF should be banned. Before IVF, adoption was common for would-be parents who were infertile: IVF is not the only solution.

Now to deal with your bizarre claim that Republican policy is “about controlling women, and the anti-abortion movement’s legislative apathy toward IVF proves it.” The solution is not more and easier abortions, it is to stop women getting pregnant in the first place. In 99% of unwanted pregnancies, the fault is the man’s for not wearing a condom. Simple: make it against the law for a man to have sex without a condom, unless in a committed relationship where children are wanted. The women can enforce this with a simple rule: do not consent to sex without a condom. “If it is not on, it is not on!”

“A woman’s right to choose” should be exercised before having sex, not afterwards. As a man I can guarantee that a man will choose to wear a condom if the alternative is to not have sex at all. It is time men took some responsibility for avoiding unwanted pregnancies, and avoiding the spread of STDs at the same time. The Pro-Abortion is very much about the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff: why not be proactive for once? Women own the power of consent: they should exercise it!
Six Business Lessons Learned From the Bamboo
By: Mike Schoultz
Tags: Lessons, Bamboo, Business Strategy

Are you familiar with the Bamboo plant? Bamboo is a group of perennial evergreens in the true grass family. These evergreens are one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, with reported growth rates of 39 inches in 24 hours. Unlike trees, individual bamboo stems emerge from the ground at their full diameter and grow to their full height in a single growing season of three to four months. During these several months, each new shoot grows vertically with no branching out until the majority of the mature height is reached.

I am always interested in drawing good analogies. Analogies can be powerful … in terms of perspective, meaning, and learning. Consider these six business lessons learned from these unique perennial evergreens:

What looks weak … is actually very strong

Bend … but do not break

Be deeply rooted … yet keep your flexibility

Commit yourself … to growth & renewal

Unleash your power … to spring back

These are just five lessons from the bamboo; one could easily come up with many more.

These are not things that we do not already know, of course.

Yet, the bamboo simply reminds us of what we already know but may have forgotten.

Then it is up to us to put these lessons (or reminders) of resilience into daily use through persistence and practice.

The greatest lesson?

You do not need to be perfect. You need only to be resilient.
+ve Day 1: Bugs or a revisiting reminder
Tags: Revisit, Positive, Lessons, Daily Blog, Journey

The day started like a normal one. What caught my eye was a bug in one of kitchen drawer which by the way I have been ignoring in another empty drawer. This time it caught my attention because there is lot of food stuff kept in that drawer. On moving the stuff around, I found that the bug has a large family and they are taken care of well in the presence of all food items at their service. So, while the family was enjoying the feast, I dropped all of them along with their feast into the dustbin. Next step was to save the remaining items which were not affected by the guests. After sealing all the items in a airtight container, I cleaned the drawer and finally took a sigh of relief. Hoping that even if the guest come back again some day they will have difficulty in getting their hands on the feast.

Although it feels amusing to tell this story. But, I felt irritated by starting the day with cleaning kitchen drawer and throwing away stuff. It had positive message in hindsight- To revisit

Yes, to revisit the drawer after a period of time. Or to revisit a book or thought or clothes or a corner of home or a place or a goal. This will keep the thing fresh. It will keep away the bugs or prevent the thing from rotting. I have seen my father doing the same with his clothes every season or at least twice in a year. It gives him a new set of clothes to wear and also helps to care both set of clothes. The revisit can also be calling an old friend with whom you have not connected in last 6 months. So, revisit to replenish, refresh and revamp the outlook.

Till next day. Wish you lots of +ive energy.
