The Staten Island native was off duty, but when his scanner erupted with reports of the attack, he grabbed his turnout gear, drove as far as he could, then ditched his truck and ran through the traffic-snarled Brooklyn Bat...Read More

Posted by Daniel Strohl - Shortbed crew-cab 1964 Chevrolet K10 for sale on Hemmings.com.

So the dealership sold it to a local farmer. This pickup runs and drives good. It is a 4 wheel drive pickup with dealer add-on air conditioning as well. It has great tires with lots of tread left as well. Documentation for the history of the pickup is nearly none...Read More

Posted by Kurt Ernst - An aerial view of Rocky Mountain Raceways. Photo courtesy Google Maps. In 1968, Bonneville Raceways brought drag racing to West Valley City, Utah, a community located southwest of Salt Lake City. In 1995, the tired facility was purchased and revitalized by Spencer Young Sr., who renamed it Rocky Mountain Raceways. Since then, the park has maintained a busy annual schedule that now includes oval track and motocross racing, but the facility's 50th year will be its last: Following the 2018 season, Rocky Mountain Rac...Read More
The Stoner T: How to build a hot rod in 10 years (and influence people), part four
Posted by Dan Stoner - The car at Conder Custom, its body hanging above itself, looking down like when you die and have one of those out-of-body experiences, but then come back to life and write a book about your experience and then get a reality show on the Lifetime Channel. All photos by the author, unless otherwise noted. Details. Until now, I've been preaching the hot-rod-as-sum-of-its-parts gospel, but the details of any hot rod or custom are what you'll remember, long after you've walked away from it to go get a hot dog and a bee...Read More

Tuesday, December 12, 2017 Old car factory to become new car museum
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Image via Google Street View. The cars going into the in-development Hackett Auto Museum might be largely of standard fare - a Model T, a Model A, a Mustang - but the history baked into the walls of the former auto factory that will hold them tells the tale of several nearly forgotten early 20th-century Michigan carmakers, including one who aimed to topple General Motors. Initially, the factory at 615 Hupp Avenue in Jackson, Michigan, housed a simple auto-parts supplier, the Lewis Spring and Axle Company, foun...Read More

On Any Sunday and Endless Summer Director Bruce Brown passes away at 80
Posted by Jim O'Clair - Bruce Brown. Photo courtesy AMA Hall of Fame. For many motorcycle enthusiasts, the 1971 film On Any Sunday was a seminal movie that began for some, invigorated for many others, their favorite pastime. The same could be said for surfers with the release of Slippery When Wet in 1958, Barefoot Adventure in 1960, or Endless Summer in 1966. The common thread in these popular documentaries was director Bruce Brown, who died on Sunday in Santa Barbara of natural causes at 80 years old. Brown was born in...Read More

SEMA urges Department of Interior to make room on outdoor recreation committee for off-roaders
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Photo by Cassandra Karas. The recent announcement of a federal outdoor recreation committee has sent a number of special interest-groups jostling for a spot on the committee and the opportunity to influence federal public-lands policy, among them motorcyclists and representatives from the off-roading community. Formed in early November "with the goal of expanding access to and improving infrastructure on public lands and waterways," the Recreation Advisory Committee would report to the Department of the Interi...Read More

So, that's just what we're going to do here. Share with us what you've done to foster enthusiasm i...Read More

Four-Links - Fred Larsen, electric Cobra, retracing National Lampoon's Vacation, Bug resto
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Fred Larsen's name probably doesn't ring too many bells, even among most hot rodders, but as we see at Kustomrama, he has plenty of hot rodding stories to tell, including the time he wrecked Ak Miller's rear-engine roadster at Bonneville. * Granted, there's not much Cobra to this electric racer other than the body, but the Tesla motor and the Kia battery pack in the custom-designed tube frame chassis make for an interesting combination. * Though it's the time of the year to watch National Lampoon's Chr...Read More

The Corvair sport coupe that never was - the 1968 Molzon Corvair
Posted by Kurt Ernst - 1968 Molzon Corvair. Photos courtesy Bonhams Auctions. In 1963, GM designer William Bill Molzon set out to build a car of his own, with some rather ambitious goals: It would accelerate faster than a Corvette, be as frugal as a Corvair, and out-handle a Lotus. The resulting one-off vehicle, the 1968 Molzon Corvair, not only met these goals but did so on a build budget of $2,000. Next month, Molzon's remarkable creation crosses the auction block in Arizona, part of Bonhams's 2018 Scottsdale sale. B...Read More
