It was February, 1968 when Bunkie Knudsen arrived in Dearborn. Henry Ford II had successfully recruited Knudsen from Pontiac, after Ed Cole was appointed President at GM.

It’s been a great twenty years, but all good things must come to an end. Like by the hands of the swift mongoose, this super snake has been eliminated from the automotive scene. Rolling off the line to a Viper owner who is going to own fifty of them by the end of the year, it’s safe to say the end of an American masterpiece is going to a responsible owner.

I love these tall, loud tri-five Chevy gassers! The photo is from the Goodguys Nationals last weekend in Des Moines, and there are a ton more to browse over at Bangshift.

This three-axled Mercedes limo is much more than just a meth-addict’s junkpile–nope, this is the work of a truly crazy person, on par with great art cars like Carthedral. It’s also an otherworldly grab-bag of trim and accessories from countless postwar classics. Get this rig just for the rare bits and pieces it comes with–if you don’t, the scrappers will!

Dodge is going to be rolling out a run of 500 of these special Mopar-badged Challengers. While it appears to be primarily a trim package, each of these rides will also bring to bear some of the more popular goodies from the Motor Parts division’s catalog–the engine looks to be getting the Mopar bolt-on treatment, including the cold-air intake with the functional hood scoop, adding about 15 hp. The handling is stiffened up with strut bars and the Super Trac Pack, which includes beefier suspension components throughout. I dig the painted gloss-black wheels and the retro chrome T-shifter (automatic only–the manual gets a pistol-grip), and the blackout grille and hoodpins give the face a raw muscle-car look. The Mopar ’10′s will all come in black metallic, with the accent stripe in a choice of four colors. Pretty cool that it’s the first production Dodge to wear the Mopar badging. I’m glad to see the company rolling out enthusiast-targeted versions of their vehicles, and I’d like to see them go a little more aggressive–maybe some day we’ll get the 1320!
