Pretty in Pink
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
Ok, so Chrysler is calling it Furious Fuchsia this time around–I assume they didn’t want to pay the royalty money to call it Panther Pink like they did back in 1970 (it seems like it might be a slightly darker pink, too). More pics and the press release after the jump!

Pro Street 1970 Challenger
By Brian Lohnes

Every once in a while we run across a car we know you would love to see, but that we can’t shoot a full feature on due to time or circumstance. Our neighbor, George, has some cool toys, including a clean four-speed 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, several cool trucks, and a really bitchin’ big rig. But one of our favorites is his bad black pro street 1970 Challenger. Last week we saw the Challenger parked in his driveway waiting for its prospective new owner to come check it out. We took the limited time to shoot a few photos and bring you this “mini-feature”. Check out all 19 photos here.
George’s ‘70 Challenger features all the required elements of any good pro street car, wrapped in a beautiful black package. Stock handles and bumpers leave no one guessing what it is, and keep the look classic. On the inside a mostly stock black interior is accented with race buckets, vinyl covered tin work, and an assortment of Auto Meter gauges. Continue reading at BangShift.com

Heading to Detroit
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
On Sunday I’m flying out to Detroit to cover the North American International Auto Show with Katherine and Jim. We’ll be talking to folks at GM, Ford, Chrysler and VW, and of course reporting on everything cool we find at the show. I had a blast last year and I’m looking forward to going to the Designer Night party again this year. So is there anything in particular you guys want me to ask about or report on? My buddies at Moparts already loaded me up with a ton of questions about the Challenger. We’ve also set up meetings with a bunch of the Mustang designers and engineers, so definitely post your Mustang questions here. We’ll be posting plenty of pics in the CarDomain Events section, and a ton of video on StreetFire as well, so stay tuned…
