It’s a ’55 with a small-block Chevy, but Lamar Cline’s two-door sedan is no 210! But with a Chevy engine, transmission, rearend and a Cadilllac interior, this ’55 is almost a GM product anyway.

FREDDIE’S ’55

Once a West Coast gasser, this ’55 Chevy made its way to Lebanon, Ohio, thanks to longtime Chevy enthusiast Freddie Green. That was back in 1978, when his son Jason was just four years old. Fast forward a few years, and Jason, professing to be a Chevy man since birth,

HIGH-SCHOOL HEARTTHROB REVISITED

At first, it appeared as though the bright red Mustang didn’t have an engine in it, but once the seller, Eric Rizner, opened the hood, Holden and Wunsch could plainly see that the engine had been set back in the chassis. Was this the elusive Mustang “racecar” that Holden had

HOW TO BUILD A DEUCE HIGHBOY

With fenders or not, an early-’30s roadster is easy to build, and there are a great number of parts available for them.

There are always typical small details that reveal a car’s true identity, whether it’s a huge exhaust, healthy underpinnings, aggressive rubber on

The camouflaged prototypes hadn’t long been out of the shed when news of the new ’09 Challenger rushed into mainstream auto circles. The first production models hadn’t even heated pavement and the lore began as already-enthusiastic aficionados began concocting legends of greatness, as they shaped this car’s history before it

INSIDIOUS

David Salvaggio at Perfection Autosport says the intent behind its latest project, “Insidious,” was to do as Dodge is about to: rework an original ’70 Dodge Challenger with a range of insightful alterations intended to build on a solid resume.

PLYMOUTH ROCKS!

For the most part, automotive enthusiasts tend to display a degree of loyalty to their brand of choice. It’s rare to find someone who has equal parts Ford and Chevy in the garage; most owners tend to favor one or the other. Mopar fans, though, typically take the concept of

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: The ProFlex DXI by Advanced Fuel Dynamics
