1969 Dodge Charger General Lee


They were just good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm, but for seven years, the Duke boys of Hazzard County made a weekly jump into the living rooms of millions of television viewers as they piloted a seemingly indestructible Dodge Charger affectionately called the General Lee.

During the run of this highly successful television series, it is estimated that as many as 320 (perhaps even more) 1968 to 1970 Chargers were catapulted across rivers, over police cars, through construction sites or anywhere else one could imagine a car flying in the air, only to succumb to the rather hard landings. One rumor was that towards the end of production, the supply of fresh General Lees had dried out and people who owned even the most derelict examples were able to raise the asking price, as the production company was desperately in need of cars.

There were survivors, however – the lucky few cars saved from the rigors of being chased by the dimwitted Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, who himself was being egged on by the greedy commissioner of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg. This General Lee is believed to be one of those original cars that was associated with the original television show.

“Dukes” fans will recall the original General Lee was of the 1969 vintage, as evidenced by the proper grille and taillights. Unlike the ’68 and ’70 cars that were modified, this particular Charger is a true 1969 example, as verified by its chassis number, and is finished in the traditional bright orange with a hand-painted rendition of the rebel flag on the roof and the instantly recognizable “01” numbers on the doors.


Under the hood is a vintage 383 big-block V8, which is the same type of engine this car left the factory with. It has been fitted with the proper after-market alloy wheels that were used during the filming as well as the custom push-bar to protect the grille. It is also equipped with five air-horns that play the whimsical opening bars from "Dixie" – another trademark highpoint of nearly every episode. The interior is finished in saddle tan vinyl just as it was when the Dukes were behind the wheel. In fact, the car even retains its correct push-button AM radio and the interior is generally quite stock in appearance, save for the roll bar of course.

Although no concrete evidence is currently available to confirm this car’s use in the television series, its authenticity is supported by the signatures of actor John Schneider (Bo Duke) and custom car builder for the stars, George Barris, whose company helped prepare many of the original “Generals” for the television show.

With the recent renewed interest for the Dukes of Hazzard in a feature length film, re-releases of the original shows on DVD and reunions across America to celebrate the original cast members of one of America’s best loved television shows, this car is sure to be in high demand and attract tremendous attention. All that’s required is to heed Schneider’s advice, written on the hood: “keep it ‘tween the ditches and shiny side up.”

This car was auctioned off by RM Auctions in September 2009 at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Los Angeles, California.

Est. 335 hp, 383 cu. in. V8 engine, three-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel power assisted drum brakes. Wheelbase: 117"

Gone In 60 Seconds Eleanor Mustang To Be Auctioned

The 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Eleanor from ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ will be auctioned off by COYS at the 2012 Autosport International show in Birmingham January 14th.

This is one of the three surviving cars, out of a total twelve built for the film. Not sure exactly if it’s the one in which Nicolas Cage made out with Angelina Jolie.

The movie star car was built by former Boyd Coddington designer Chip Foose based on Hot Rod illustrator Steve Stanford’s sketches. It features new wider wheel arches, a bonnet with a prominent bulge, a deep front valance and side skirts and a spoiler incorporated into the boot lid, plus PIAA lights were installed in both the nose and tail and a distinctive billet grille, all wrapped up is a magnificent metallic Grey with Black stripes.

The car also has Schmidt 17×8-inch wheels. The interior however remains standard Shelby with a big tachometer and roll hoop.

This particular Mustang is powered by a 351 cubic inch Ford Racing crate motor fitted with a ‘big’ camshaft and 700cfm Holley 4-barrel carburettor. It als features coilover suspension system and Willwood disk brakes all round with 6 piston callipers on the front. So it should be actually pretty good to drive.

That is why they expect it to fetch up to £100,000 in the auction. This Eleanor Mustang is one of only two original cars in private hands

1969 ZL1 Camaro


Perhaps one of the rarest of muscle cars, the 1969 ZL1 Camaro featured a jaw-dropping 500 horses under the hood in an aluminum V-8 engine. This bad boy American beast could go from 0-60 in about 5.3 seconds, which was why some of the 69 models made found their way into drag-racing. Over time, the full complement of cars was sold; however, the package option was never offered again.

1969 427 COPO Chevelle


A special order by dealers designated Central Office Production Order, the 1969 427 COPO Chevelle had a limited run of about 320 cars. This 450 bhp muscle car was fitted with a L72 427-cid V-8 due to demand from muscle loving Chevy dealers. Interestingly enough, Chevy didn’t want their mid-sizes at the time to have more than 400 cid. But the COPO Chevelles were made and distributed to some very happy dealers.

1970 454 Chevelle SS


The 1970 Super Sport package Chevelle featuring the LS6 package came in at a whopping 454 horse. The option was standard for the average car buyer of the day making it one of the most powerful stock cars anyone could purchase. With racing stripes and a smooth interior, this muscle monger was the average muscle lover’s dream.

1969 Ford Mustang ‘Boss 429’


The ‘Boss 429’ 1969 Ford Mustang was the costliest non-Shelby Mustang Ford offered at the time. The reason came down to the semi-hemi 429 engine that Ford wanted to get into NASCAR. While the car was not built for its screaming starts, it was known for long-haul racing capabilities and smooth handling.

Bad-a.ss Chevy Camaro by Chrome & Carbon


I don’t know about you guys and gals, but I’ve never seen a Chevrolet Camaro that’s more awesome than this one. This jaw dropping Camaro was modified in the other corner of the world, by a company from Dubai called Chrome & Carbon, which designed a wonderful and aggressive widebody kit for it named ‘Guvyer’.

The name apparently comes from an older Japanese anime series where the characters transformed into robotic warriors and yeah, you could say that this Camaro is a sort of Transformer, right? It looks even better than Bumblebee and it doesn’t even cost too much to turn your Camaro into this beauty.


This widebody kit is priced at $18k and it includes a lot of elements made of carbon fiber such as a new front bumper with daytime running LED lights, a new front splitter, new hood with large scoops, wider fenders, side skirts, a new rear bumper, diffuser, rear splitter, spoiler, new grilles, trims and many more. The car also a set of forged wheels wrapped in high performance tires and new exhaust tips to fit in the new rear bumper.

The only downside is that the Chevy Camaro by Chrome & Carbon is available right now only in Dubai but.. I’m pretty sure other countries will be able to get their hands on this kit in the next months as well.

1967 CHEVROLET CAMARO STREET FIGHTER


Few cars hold a reputation quite like the classic 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. Whether you prefer imports or domestics, it’s hard not to love the aggressive body lines of this vehicle, especially one like this Street Fighter Camaro.
Owned by Team Speed member Totem, he recently finished this long time project car mid way through 2011, and the end result is simply incredible. The entire exterior is sporting a flat black paint job with gloss black and carbon fibers accents, all of which is contrasted by bright red 14 inch Willwood brake calipers. This beast has been outfitted with a Vengeance Racing built Forged 427 LS7.

1971 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda


The '71 'Cuda saw a host of very-cool styling changes versus the previous year; check off the option box for the 426 cu. in. HEMI and Incredible Quivering Exposed Cold Air Grabber (er, shaker scoop) and you had yourself one very powerful and highly desirable machine. They made only 11 convertibles, each now worth a few million dollars.

1966 Pontiac GTO – Moonshined


Pontiac's intermediate line was restyled again for 1966, gaining more curvaceous styling with kicked-up rear fender lines for a "Coke-bottle" look, and a slightly "tunneled" backlight. The tail light featured a rare louvered cover, only seen on the GTO. Overall length grew only fractionally, to 206.4 in (5,243 mm), still on a 115 in (2,921 mm) wheelbase, while width expanded to 74.4 in (1,890 mm). Rear track increased one inch (2.5 cm). Overall weight remained about the same.
The GTO became a separate model series, rather than an optional performance package, with unique grille and tail lights, available as a pillared sports coupe, a hardtop (without B-pillars), or a convertible. Also an automotive industry first, plastic front grilles replaced the pot metal and aluminum versions seen on earlier years. New Strato bucket seats were introduced with higher and thinner seat backs and contoured cushions for added comfort and adjustable headrests were introduced as a new option.[4] The instrument panel was redesigned and more integrated than in previous years with the ignition switch moved from the far left of the dash to the right of the steering wheel. Four pod instruments continued, and the GTO's dash was highlighted by walnut veneer trim.
Engine choices remained the same as the previous year. A new engine was offered that saw few takers: the XS option consisted of a factory Ram Air set up with a new 744 high lift cam. Approximately 35 factory installed Ram Air packages are believed to have been built, though 300 dealership installed Ram Air packages are estimated to have been ordered. On paper, the package was said to produce the same 360 hp (270 kW) as the non-Ram Air, Tri Power car.
Sales increased to 96,946, the highest production figure for all GTO years. Although Pontiac had strenuously promoted the GTO in advertising as the "GTO Tiger," it had become known in the youth market as the "Goat."

1971 Plymouth HEMI Cuda


This car has been revamped, restored from the past.
Strengthened muscle car that every American would like to have in your garage.
The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964–1974.
The first-generation Barracuda, a fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant, had a distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964–1966.
The second-generation 1967–1969 Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions.
The 1970–1974 E-body Barracuda, no longer Valiant-based, was available as a coupe and a convertible, both of which were very different from the previous models. The final model year for the Barracuda was 1974. Information is from source: Wikipedia

1971 Dodge Challenger


The Challenger is described in a book about 1960s American cars as Dodge’s "answer to the Mustang and Camaro." It was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. "Both the Challenger and Barracuda were available in a staggering number of trim and option levels" and were intended "to compete against cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and to do it while offering virtually every engine in Chrysler's inventory."
However they were "a rather late response to the ponycar wave the Ford Mustang had started." The author of a book about "Hemi"-powered muscle cars says that the Challenger was conceived in the late 1960s as Dodge’s equivalent of the Plymouth Barracuda, and that the Barracuda was designed to compete against the Mustang and Camaro. He adds that Chrysler intended the new Dodge as "the most potent ponycar ever," and positioned it "to compete against the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird." Similarly, the author of a book about the Chrysler pony-cars notes that "the Barracuda was intended to compete in the marketplace with the Mustang and Camaro/Firebird, while the Dodge was to be positioned against the Cougar" and other more luxury-type musclecars.

1967 CHEVROLET CAMARO


The 1967 Camaro shared the subframe / semi-unibody design with the 1968 Chevy II Nova. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options, including three main packages, were available.
The RS was an appearance package that included hidden headlights, revised taillights with back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS badging, and exterior rocker trim.
1967 Camaro SS convertible (with Z28 stripes added)
The SS included a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8 engine and the L35 and L78 396 cu in (6.5 L) big-block V8's were also available. The SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping, and SS badging on the grille, front fenders, gas cap, and horn button. It was possible to order both the SS and RS to receive a Camaro RS/SS. In 1967, a Camaro RS/SS convertible with a 396 engine paced the Indianapolis 500.

1968 Ford Mustang with NOS is a fun to drive


Originally an open track car, this 1968 Ford Mustang has been returned to road spec whilst retaining a number of race car features. It still has the full roll cage, although the side impact bars have been removed to ease getting in and out. The motor is a small block screamer that happily spins the wheels in the first three gears! Suspension is all Global West’s finest making the car handle better than any 45 years old car should. It actually handles better than a number of modern sports cars! This is helped by the power rack and pinion steering and awesome Baer brakes which benefit from a Hydratech hydraulic power unit and P-Zero tires. Read more!

Camaro


A few days ago, we looked at the detailed build process and saw what exactly influenced the exterior styling of the ’70 Spectre Camaro. Now, here is the completed car. Quite a drastic change from the yellow car it once was, no?
