It’s funny how the right paint scheme can shift your perception of a car you’re already familiar with. Take, for instance, this 1974 Jensen Interceptor, with its nifty two-tone paint that certainly helps the car look more like an American muscle car than most Interceptors. From the seller’s description:

1974 Jensen Interceptor 3, Orig.Cond. 46K miles. This is one of the most amazing cars driven in America. The best of three worlds…Handmade in West Bromwich, England…Designed by Italian body designer in the late 1960’s…Powered by the factory with an American Chrysler 440 muscle engine! These current car photos are an accurate portrait of her fine condition. The paint on this car is awesome! The leather interior is in incredible shape. The air conditioning blows cold and this is a reliable, exotic, mega collectible, that is so unique, it is a show stopper and a jaw dropper every time! No rust whatsoever, stored at a private home and garaged, shielded from the intense sun and nice and dry without moisture.

The “Sound Classics” team had a great time up at the All-British Field Meet in Vancouver, B.C. There were hundreds of great classics.

In this video report, you’ll see my personal pick for the best car at the show and the one I’d want to take home. Watch the video and tell me if you agree!

Welcome to the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot, a regular feature which aims to expand the notion of what a muscle car is, and to have some fun in the process. While it could be argued that the featured car is actually more of a grand touring car in the tradition of a Jaguar, I will submit evidence that it is more of a gentleman’s muscle car because of one simple feature: the engine. Yes, what we have here in a fast, powerful, and luxurious coupe that happens to be built in the UK, with a big old Chrysler 383 or 440. Introducing the Jensen Interceptor.

Ah yes, the weekend is finally here. I’ve got friends coming up from Portland for the weekend, so we’ll probably go hit downtown Seattle or something. But we can’t party the entire time while they’re here (or can we?), so you know what we’ll do in the mean time? That’s right… Check out the SoundDomain news:

• Part Two of Alpine’s Million Dollar Demo Car video series posted up on SoundDomain. In this episode the guys strip the car down to the skeleton of the Benz R-Class and start the prep work for the install. I don’t know about you, but there’s something about seeing a $40,000+ car stripped down to nothing that gets me kind of excited!
• Jensen also came through with a boatload of new free MP3s to download, and it’s a pretty cool mix of music genres, a little something for everyone. Check it out!
• Have you ever slipped and "ventilated" a subwoofer while trying to mount it? I have… A few times actually. Or how about have you aver wobbled while trying to drill or screw something into sheet metal and ended up scratching the paint? DOH! I have. That’s why this new drill concept is a pretty interesting idea.
