Blake’s buddy is using this 4-speed 1967 Hemi Charger in his wedding this weekend, so Blake took his team out to detail the rare Mopar (one of just 58 built), which had been sitting for 20 years. The old B-body has had the same owner since 1968 and has just 37,908 documented miles, with the original drivetrain, paint, etc.

The NorthWest Auto Salon team put a total of 24 man hours into the car to get it as clean as possible. They spent two hours washing the car and prepping the door jambs and all the chrome trim, over eight hours on the chrome/brightwork, about two hours claybarring the surface to remove the 20 years of grime, and then about six hours buffing and polishing the lead-based enamel paint, de-molding the interior, cleaning and conditioned the vinyl, waxing the car and polishing the pitted mag wheels. Along the way they also removed several mice homes scattered through the interior. Blake said it was one of the biggest transformations he’s ever done. They didn’t get to the engine bay–that will have to wait til after the wedding!

So here’s a pic of what they started with. See the a ton more pics after the jump!

Let’s all jump in the CarDomain time machine and take a trip to Watkins Glen, 1967. It’s the day of the United States Grand Prix, and we are about to witness an extraordinary finish. Limping in to the finish with a busted suspension, the winner sought victory lane seconds ahead of his team mate in second place. Think these old timer’s are slow? Try averaging 125 mph around Watkins Glen and then we’ll talk.  Read more about the historical event at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

It’s really hard to beat a black ’67 GTX, and Daren’s car is incredible.

First generation Ford Broncos are neat trucks. We’ve seen them in all forms from sloggin’ mud boggers, to wheel-pulling drag cars. Hell, Doug Nash ran a flip-up Bronco-bodied funny car in the late 1960s. This is the first one we have seen done in a modern style, slammed to the ground, packing a huffed big block Chevy motor, and a big dollar looking custom interior. Part of us digs it, and part of us doesn’t.

This Bronco was featured in Truckin’ Magazine wearing a different wheel and tire package that gave it a much more Pro Street look. In its current form with the massive rear wheels and short sidewall tires it seems to be angling for the Pro/Faux Touring vibe.

The chassis is an Art Morrison piece, the front suspension is a Mustang II set-up, and the rear is a Ford 9-inch hung with a four-link setup and a pair of Aledine coil over shocks. The paint is 100% awesome looking miles deep and flawless.

That big motor coming through the hood? It’s a 502ci big block Chevy sporting a set of worked Brodix heads, a cam from Comp, and a whole bunch of supercharger on top. The owner claims that the engine makes close to 1,000 hp. The transmission is a built to the hilt Turbo 400.

Crazily the truck has only been driven 250 miles according to the ad. Maybe it scared the guy bad enough that he only idles it around now, who knows. With that little wheelbase, a lightweight package, and the (reportedly) 1,000hp engine, this freaking thing must be devilish on the road.

The interior is certainly out to make a statement. It appears that the steering wheel is wrapped in Alligator, with the rest of the cab is done in leather. From the looks of the driver’s seat, the blower case is just inches from the windshield!

Bad ass or bad taste? What’s your take?

Now here’s a project that’s gonna be fun to follow on CarDomain. How about a frame off resto on a ’67 Chevelle that’s gonna be motivated by a “454 Big Block 70 over with Edlebrock tunnel ram and two Demon 650cfm carbs, blueprinted and dyno’ed at 870 horses”? See more on Romell’s ride page.

One of the members at the Hemmings Forum, Emjay Binge, recently pulled his pink Mustang out of storage and quizzed us whether it’s a real Playboy Pink Mustang. For those of you who can answer his question, he included the door tag information in his post on the Hemmings forum.

Not sure I’d do this to a vintage Mustang, but still, it’s fairly impressive. A few more pics after the jump, or check out the eBay auction for a ton more pics. Via Autoblog

I’m calling a mulligan on this one. I am familiar with this car. It’s the twin-turbocharged, big-block-Ford-powered 1967 Mustang of Canadian Frank Pompilio. I wrote a feature on the car not too long ago for Drag Racing Action magazine.

This car is awesome to the sixty-third power. The motor makes something like 2,000 hp, it runs on smallish tires, and the whole crew, including Frank and his dad, are top shelf dudes.

Anyway, onto the video, it’s only 13 seconds long so you’re going to have to watch it a time or ten, but realize that this car spends nearly an entire quarter mile lap on its wheelie bars. It actually crosses the finish line on the bars while laying down a 6.90 second, 230 mph lap.

Mike built this Terlingua tribute car between 1991 to 1998. Looks sweet and I bet it’s a blast on the track. See all the pics on Mike’s ride page.
