Most people water their lawn – except perhaps if you live in Tucson, where your landscaped garden is made equally of rock, cactus, shrub and wildflowers. So imagine our car owner’s slight surprise when we asked him to water his driveway.  We won’t give away his name, lest the environmental Read more

Hmmmm… Another chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter kinda car, somebody decided to blend the sports car aesthetics of this Brazilian-built 1969 Puma coupe with the knobby-tired, dirt-kicking functionality of a Baja Bug and the giant-wing-for-downforce look of a Subaru WRX. The seller offers no description, but on their website described it a little further Read more

This is exactly how a listing should read for real estate on the Hemmings.com classifieds: Don’t tell me about the number of bedrooms or half-baths or whether it has central air conditioning; tell me how many cars I can fit in the garage and on the driveway. The sellers of Read more

SAAC-badged Fox-body Shelby Mustangs come up for sale once in a blue moon, and now we see two of them (a 1992 and a 1993) for sale on Hemmings.com, both from the same seller. As per his description, the black/gold car is a little rarer than the red/white car, so Read more

I don’t get to see many music videos anymore, so I have no idea which artist employed this 1967 Jaguar Mk2 in his or her three-minute tribute to short attention spans and Auto-Tune. I can guess that it’s not a video you or I would want to watch anyway (yes, Read more

When we last heard from Jeff Teague, he had just finished the AMX/4 clay model that finally put into physical form his idea of what a modern-day evolution of his father’s AMX/3 would have looked like. Years back, we also saw his take on a modern-day Duesenberg, and now Jeff Read more

Oftentimes when I meet up with my friend (and Hemmings Classic Car columnist) David Schultz for a chat, talk turns to rebodied big-C Classics – that is, closed-car bodywork scrapped in favor of open-car bodywork, V-8 cars placed on V-12 chassis, etc. It’s a giant headache for the people in Read more

Okay, so it’s not a badge, and it’s not from an automaker, but Hurst did supply the automakers with shifters during the muscle era, so it’s close enough. However, I do have a standalone H from an automaker: If you’d like to challenge yourself, take a look at this H Read more
