Million Dollar Daytona
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I really enjoy getting Michael Sheehan’s newsletter and seeing what he has for sale. I’ll probably never own a Ferrari, but I can dream, right? I really love this 71 Daytona Spyder, one of just 122 Spyders built by the factory. It just underwent a full resto, and the color combo is stunning. Yours for just $995,000!

Triple Black 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda 6.1 SRT8 5 Speed on eBay
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
If money was no object and I had an old Mopar that I didn’t care about in terms of maintaining its originality, I’d probably do something like this (no wing though). Freakin’ awesome. Check out the eBay auction for all the details and tons of pics.

Gary and Pam Beineke's Awesome 1971 One of None Superbird
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
A car feature on a 1971 Plymouth Super Bird? You got it. So what if Mopar never built such an animal, Gary and Pam Beineke did, and this one’s loaded with a 472ci Hemi wth a Six Pack. Yeah, Chrysler never made a Six Pack Hemi, either.
The vaunted “aero wars” in NASCAR came to a crashing halt in 1970 with the announcement by Bill France that all of the “special cars,” or those that had factory aerodynamic enhancements would be limited to a mere 305ci. Fielding a miniscule small-block in a field of big-inch stompers was not going to be productive, so the manufacturers killed their aerodynamic projects and went back to big cars with big frontal areas and big motors to punch through the air.
What gets lost in the mix is the simple fact that everyone, Ford, Chrysler, and GM, had skunkworks programs well in progress for the 1971 season and beyond. Although they were stopped after the announcement, testing had been done and documents created about the wind-tunnel prowess of the cars.
This is where Gary and Pam Beineke come in. Continue reading and see the full photo gallery at BangShift.com

April’s mom bought this Mach 1 new in 1971. Sadly, she passed away in 2004 from breast cancer, but April has the car now and has big plans for it. Check out her ride page for all the pics!

Picked these up yesterday. I’d say Hot Wheels is really hitting it out of the park with the old school muscle offerings lately. More pics after the jump!

Yesterday I posted the awesome 1971 Road Runner van photoshop, done by Capsule from the Road Runner Nest. Well, here’s another one of his cool chops. Someone needs to build one of these rides. Two more after the jump!

1971 Challenger Convertible 440 Six Pack 4×4 For Sale
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I’m told this has been on eBay before, but it was new to me. The Challenger is sitting on top of a 1978 Ramcharger. The work was done 20 years ago, before E-body prices went through the roof, but this was originally a 318 car. Pretty cool, huh? Winches front and rear are a nice touch. Only $69,000!!! More pics after the jump and you can see the for sale ad here. (Don’t you love it when sellers can’t spell convertible?)

The EV Duster Hits the Road!
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I just got word from Bruce that his EV Duster is now running and driving! He hasn’t quite sorted out all the kinks yet, but still, it’s pretty impressive to see an old A-body running on electricity while maintaining that tough muscle car stance. Be sure to check out his ride page, and you can also read his blog for more details. Bruce is promising video soon, so stay tuned!

Warhol Race Car
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I like BMW race cars and I like Andy Warhol, but do they really belong together? This 1979 BMW M1 Group 4 racer painted by Warhol is one of four BMW “art cars” traveling around the country right now. Warhol spent all of 23 minutes painting the car, and it went on to be raced just once, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. With the Warhol paint job I doubt that this M1 will never be driven on the track again. Kind of a shame. More on the traveling BMW collection at Autoblog.
