If Global Warming Continues Humans Could Evolve To Look Like This...

As A Result Of Global Warming Scientists Believe That We Could Eventually Evolve Some Pretty Crazy Characteristics.

#1
As a result of global warming scientists believe that we could eventually evolve some pretty crazy characteristics. Experts have been busy trying to predict what the human race will look like in the far and distant future. They’ve considered several scenarios; how we’d look if there were to be a new ice age, if global warming continues and if we started colonising other planets.

Dr Matthew Skinner, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Kent, worked in conjunction with an artist called Quentin Devine to help visualise what humans might look like in the future.
If global warming gets worse and land mass decreases Dr Skinner believes we could possibly develop webbed feet and translucent eye lids to help us see under water. They also think we could develop gills to breathe under water.

In the ice age scenario, Dr Skinner thinks that our skin would become incredibly pale due to a lack of vitamin D from less sunlight. We would be covered in hair and develop some serious muscles. Our noses and faces would become bigger as a response to the colder air and we’d become a lot stronger.

If science fiction does become a reality we might develop short legs as in low gravity they would become completely unnecessary.

Dr Skinner said:

‘No matter what future scenario we find ourselves in, be it a water world, ice age or indeed that colonising another planet, the human race will strive to avoid extinction – ultimately, it’s a fight for survival.’

At the moment humans are still getting bigger, but skinner suggests that trend will reverse due to a lack of predators. This phenomenon is called ‘island dwarfing’ and it occurs when mammals have no predators and limited resources.

Interesting stuff. Did you know astronomers think that Aliens might have built a mega structure that’s orbiting a nearby star?

Two Boys Were Digging In The Yard When They Uncovered THIS. But That’s Only Half The Story. -...

What’s the most incredible or unusual thing you might find in your backyard? Say you pick up a metal detector and find an old coin, or perhaps comes across an arrowhead. That’s all well and good, but nothing even comes close to what two California boys found in 1978.

Because these kids found a Ferrari !

This is the front yard in a Los Angeles neighborhood where the vehicular treasure was discovered in early February of 1978.

A new family had just moved into the house when their two boys struck gold. The family called the authorities, and an excavation began. It turned out that the car was actually an insanely valuable 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS.

The car had been poorly mummified with towels and cloths. It was obvious that someone wanted to come back for it. But who? And why did they bury it?

After an investigation by the police, the nefarious reason as to why it was down there was discovered.

The previous owners hired criminals to drive the car into the ocean so they could claim the insurance money. But those thieves hid the car in the ground in hopes of coming back for it.

With the mystery solved and the car making headlines all over the nation, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder. A mechanic with his own shop bought it and restored it.

The gorgeous car was like new again, except this Ferrari had a story unlike any other.

In addition to entering the buried Ferrari in car shows, the new owner put a vanity plate on it that read “Dug Up.”

Not a bad thing to find just lying right under your front yard.

Well, that doesn’t happen everyday. What a story.

Man spent 9 years being trapped on the island is now rescued because of Google Earth!

If you have ever watched the movie, Cast Away, you would know that how Tom Hank spent long time on a deserted island. Here is a similar story about Adam Jones, who spent almost 9 years being trapped on a deserted island, but with the help of Google Earth, he was rescued recently! Here is how he spent 9 years there!

The Voyage

Adam Jones set off for a journey in 2006, along with his 2 friends, starting from Liverpool, their home, to Hawaii. In between they had to cross Atlantic Ocean and the Panama Canal. As they reached in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a monstrous storm struck their boat violently, and damaged it along with their electronic equipment. His friends went overboard while Adam was knocked by the storm unconscious for about 17 days, and he kept drifting in the ocean.


Surviving the days in the beginning!

Adam spent 2 weeks on his boat but he built on his own the water trapping contrivance on it, and this way he saved a lot of water whenever it rained. At first he built a makeshift shelter out of boat debris, but it was collapsed and then he made a solid shelter. Using a clam shell, he brought a tree down in the span of 11 weeks. He somehow learnt how to make fire, and hence light in the dark!

Hunting for food!

Adam obviously had to hunt animals on the island for his survival, and he also found 8 wild goats there, but he couldn’t hunt them without any weapon. He tried to hunt them with his own made bow and arrow, but in vain. Fortunately he found a goat trapped in the bushes. After somehow killing it, he got 50 kg of meat from it.

He worked for his physical fitness!

Adam told that in order to stay fit, he used to do exercise daily on the beach, including push-ups, chin-ups using a tree branch, and he did squats having boulders over his shoulders. Also, he ran every day for about 300 meter on the beach.

The frustration and feeling of being lonely!

Adam said that the most difficult part of his survival was his fight with his brain. The feeling of being lonely, and the depression he felt whenever he thought that nobody would ever come to help, almost made him dead from inside. At first he made an SOS sign about 10 feet high, but no one came there. Then he decided to empty a large area on the beach and wrote there “SOS”. He always hoped that someday, some aircraft would fly form here and will see this sign and he will eventually be rescued. He couldn’t do anything except to have a strong hope and to never give up.


And there came the rescue team! FINALLY!

One day Adam heard loud noise of planes flying over him, he ran in the empty area and waved them, luckily they saw him and dropped a packet for Adam. The packet had a radio, fresh water, food, and some first-aid items in it. As he turned the radio on to talk to the pilot, he felt extremely happy to hear human voice after 9 years. He asked them how they reached there, they told him that a child living in Minnesota found his SOS sign on Google Earth and told the authorities that he was in need of help.


Even after being found, he waited for about 5 days because the boat took time to reach that island. Eventually, the lucky man was rescued from the unknown island on which he lived like a home for 9 years.

‘Insidious’ Dodge Challenger by Dave Salvaggio Goes On Sale

Those bitten by the Dodge bug would be glad as the 1970 Challenger is now put up for sale. The unique ‘Insidious‘ was designed and built by Dave Salvaggio in 2007. It has been entirely revamped, be it inside, outside or under the hood.
The car is drenched in black pearl overlaid with olive and sandstone pearl. The exterior poses a new attire with the door handles, roof rail moulding and trim pieces being taken off. The re-contoured wheel arches and new glass are some new elements.
The scratch build grille and taillights along with new-looking hood, bumpers and front fenders, give it a refreshed look. Under the hood lies a 426 Hemi crate engine coming from Mopar Performance. It comes with custom headers, custom exhaust and a Hillborn EFI unit. It is mated to a Tremec TKO 600 transmission and offers 575 hp (429 kW).
The chassis is rejuvenated and now integrates four-wheel independent suspension and coilover springs. The car is fitted with Symbolic TS15 20-inch wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires.
Leather and Wilton Wool replaces the vinyl and polyester carpeting while the car shows off Alcantara headliner with the seats enclosed in Spinneybeck leather with suede inserts. Moreover, the leather also covers the piston grip shifter, Tuff steering wheel and dashboard.
The Pioneer DVD sound system would keep you entertained in the plush interior that uis further accentuated with green-gold inserts in the doors and steerling wheels.
This stunning machine can be purchased through R & H Collectibles of Ohio for a price of USD159,000.

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

Gallery: Al & Eds Autosound Lamborghini Aventador

Sound specialist Al & Eds Autosound has just finished a Lamborghini Aventador project car. They have used a Mansory body kit for styling, and a set of Forgiato Wheels finished in the same orange as the exterior. Some of the components such as the rear spoiler and side blades are finished in clear carbon to contrast the brash color of the body.

Other modifications include a vented bonnet, front and rear widening – 40mm front, 50mm rear – and an optional engine tuning kit that boosts the output from 700 to 754 horsepower. Presumably, the Aventador gets a kicking sound system as well. Check out more pictures in this gallery:

1971 Corvette Stingray 454

We are very proud to present this awesome 1971 Stingray. This beauty was featured in Corvette Fever Magazine in June 2008.
The Chevrolet Corvette has been an iconic American sports car, since its introduction in the 1950s. The 1971 Stingray was very similar to the 1970 model; the 1971 had amber parking light covers instead of clear. The main difference in the '71 model lay under the hood, as engines were to meet new federal guidelines.
This monster is equipped with a beefy 365hp 454 cu in V-8 engine. It has been bored 0.060 over and included forged pistons and crankshafts, even a set of roller rockers. Also APR head bolts hold it all together. The engine is matched with a numbers matching 4-speed Muncie Close Ratio transmission feeding a 3.08:1 limited slip rear end. The current owner swapped out the original 4.11 rear end for the current one. The original will go with the car.It has had a complete internal rebuild.

Elton John’s Ferrari 512 TR Hits The Auction Block

Another one of Sir Elton John’s cars is now up for grabs, this time a pretty clean Ferrari 512 Testarossa. To be sold by COYS at their Spring Classics sale in London next week, this 512 has only 2,100 miles on the clock.

This car was part of Sir Elton’s large collection auctioned off by Christie’s in 2001. At the time this 512 with 1,812 miles on the clock was sold to its current owner for £98,000. It is now expected to fetch between £90,000- £110,000.

So not that good an investment. It is a bit too soon for the 512 TR to become a classic and its value go up. The car still looks fresh and modern. But rest assured, 10 years by now this model will among the most sought after classic Fezzas.

Elton’s TR is finished in the stunning Rosso Corsa with complementary beige interior, and comes with a complete service history. Most recently this year it has been serviced at Meridian Ferrari – where it has had its cambelts replaced.

Other important Ferraris at COYS auction:

The sale will also feature two Ferrari Dino’s, arguably one of the most beautiful Ferraris built to date. The first example is a 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT, one of only 152 models produced, which was once owned by Canadian film director David Cronenberg and is estimated at £180,000 to £210,000. The second model is a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS in the distinctive “French racing blue”, estimated at £170,000 to £180,000.

Rebuilt 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Is Awesome

The idea of an old car with modern chassis and engine is hugely appealing. This 1968 Camaro Convertible is a classic case in point.

With cars like this you get the swell looks of the classic car, but none of the mechanical drawbacks. This magnificent Camaro is tastefully resorted on the outside and finished in Kolor Galaxy Gray. We wish it didn’t have those red stripes, but hey.

Under the bonnet you find a GM Performance Parts LS376/480 Hot Cam V8 with 480hp. It’s a reliable piece of kit with plenty of power to match the car’s fabulous style. It also gets modern transmission, cooling, electronics and stainless steel exhausts.

They have also replaced the prehistoric suspension of the original car with components from Hotchkis, Chris Alston’s Chassisworks, and Varishock. The brakes are also replaced with a powerful system from G-street. The car sports a set of 17-inch Foose Nitrous Chrome Legend wheels to maintain the retro look, but the tires are modern Fuzion ZR1s.

The interior is also redone and comes with some new amenities like a top notch stereo, but we’re not digging that sport steering wheel which is like the ones they put on cheaply modded Kias.

As you may have already guessed, this almost perfect blend of old and new does not come cheap, especially as it has only 409 miles on the clock. It is in fact $129,900. And that’s what you call very expensive.

1970 Pontiac GTO

1970 Pontiac GTO. This is a nut & bolt rotisserie restored example boasting modern Hotchkis tubular suspension, a high performance built 455 big block V8, and high quality cosmetics throughout. This car was built to cruise and show with driver-friendly features galore such as a Gear Vendor overdrive model 3D400. Enjoy our photos and extensive description. This is your opportunity to own a truly magnificent GTO musclecar.
This transformed GTO began life as a true 242 GTO in the Atoll Blue color, matching interior, and a black cordova top as is indicated on the identa-plate. It was built in 1969 and delivered to Coast Pontiac in December, 1969. In the intervening years, it saw Bakersfield, Chatsworth, and Almeda, California. In the mid 2000, the car spent some time in Arizona before arriving it Texas where it was purchased by its current owner in 2007 Sometime in this journey, the grand old Goat was changed to a Cardinal Red & Judge graphics added. This was a clean, rust free, and numbers-matching survivor.
The current owner had a different vision for the car. He set about to make it one of kind with supreme drivability, while maintaining the classic '70 GTO look. He also wanted to maintain the number's viability of the car. The original 400 c.i. engine was removed and put into storage, replaced with a professionally built 1970 455 big block you will read about soon. The car was lifted off the frame and the work began.

1972 CHEVY BLAZER

The K/5 Blazer was the smallest full size SUV version of the General Motors C/K Trucks family. Introduced to the Chevrolet line in 1969, the full-size Blazer was replaced in 1995 by the Chevrolet Tahoe.

The exterior is in fair condition throughout this classic 72' Chevy Blazer. The paint and body are in fair condition with some imperfections on closer inspection. 

The top is showing its age.

This '72 Chevy Blazer rides on 33x12.5 R15 LT tires. 

The doors are solid underneath. This is the area that usually rusts first.

The cab has a factory cassette player and Sony speakers.

This '72 rustic Chevy blazer truck carries an aftermarket Edelbrock carburetor. 

The undercarriage is solid.

1976 Chevrolet El Camino

The 4th generation El Camino was introduced in 1973. This version features rectangular headlights along with the classic El Camino style.
This example features all original sheetmetal and flooring throughout. It is a dry climate car finished in two-tone dark blue & light blue metallic. The paint is decent, with a number of flaws on closer inspection. The body itself is exceptional. There are chip touch ups and a paint blister on the hood.
Open the door to 1976. The interior features factory blue vinyl bench seating along with the original dash and instrumentation. An aftermarket cassette stereo has been installed as well.
The dash is covered in carpet, likely to cover cracks. There are a few notable cracks on the dash visible as well.The upholstery is clean and nice, displaying some color wear primarily on the driver's side.
The door panels are original and in good shape as are the door undersides.
Underneath this car it is excellent and original. The flooring and frame is a further testament to its exceptional dry climate condition. The exhaust system has been replaced.
A new engine option for 1976 was this 305 c.i. V8 rated at 140 horsepower. The engine compartment features excellent sheetmetal throughout the firewall, inner fenders, and core support.

1968 Camaro SS

The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro was unchanged as it entered its second year of production, although a close inspection would reveal the addition of new front and rear side marker lights. Chevrolet boasted that the 1968 Camaro SS was dedicated to the fun crowd. The white paint throughout this car, is highlighted with silver stripes painted on the hood and trunk and clear coated. Front and rear bumpers are like new. You want a car to remember those years you spent growing up admiring muscle cars? And not just a car to sit in your garage collecting dust? Then look no further this car is just perfect for you!
What else can you do to a iconic Camaro to catch attention other than to keep it detailed and shiny? Simply just turn it into a road-carving monster.

This 1968 Camaro was spared no expense when it came to getting from 0-60 mph faster than most production cars.
A new 2" cowl induction hood was added to allow more air to reach the engine.
Starting with the engine, the original one was ripped out and in its place sits a 496 Stroker with and estimated 550 + hp. Helping the engine gather that much horsepower was the addition of some internal goodies to make any car enthusiast blush.

1973 Plymouth 340 Barracuda

Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this classic '73 Plymouth Barracuda. Born a high price class, 318-equipped Barracuda, this car now sports a full 'cuda cosmetic package and upgraded 340 cubic inch engine. Our facilities have completed a lot of recent mechanical work including replacing the heater core, air conditioning compressor and components along with a replaced sending unit for the gas tank and various mechanicals. We have approximately $4,000 in receipts to verify this. This work was performed in 2012.
Plymouth's own pony car was in its final years in 1973. The Barracuda was produced from 1964 until 1974. This example has been equipped with full Cuda treatment including the High Impact Vitamin C Orange Paint, Billboard Stripes, Spoiler, Badging, and the 340 c.i. 4bbl. powerplant.
The exterior displays classic 'cuda styling cues including the sinister blacked-out tail light panel and spoiler.

Outside
Although the car was completed six years ago, Randy mixes things up when necessary to keep the overall look current. The fastback used to have taillights off of an ’05 Mustang, but when they started looking dated, he swapped in a set of ’69 model taillights. This change also required installing a ’69 model taillight panel.
As no surprise, swapping a ’69 Mustang front clip onto a ’70 model is rather straightforward. Just get a ’69 hood, fenders, grille, and headlight buckets, and you’re in business. The flat black hood adds a nice balance of contrast.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) (GT5)

This is it, a new C7 Corvette. Everyone love it, except only one man… me. For me it’s not a Corvette anymore, it doesn’t look like Corvette. Something missed, something not right here, it’s just a new muscle car from GM.
Look at rear end...a Camaro style taillights, look at side windows (worst part) it looks like 4 passenger car, look at front end…what is it, a Ferrari? See what i mean?
When you see C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, even if you don’t know nothing about cars, you know the answer…It’s a Corvette. When you see C7… you confused. Something very important missing in C7.

1968 Dodge Coronet R/T

Fast Facts: Mopar Muscle Magazine

1968 Dodge Coronet R/T

Owned by: Robert Ferrari

Photo by: Kevin DiOssi

Mopar Power:
• Engine: 500 cubes, 505 horsepower, and 500 lb/ft of torque. The monster in question lurks underneath the six-pack hood of Robert's Coronet. It's a Mopar crate Wedge he purchased from Jay Dyson at Pitre Chrysler Plymouth. The supporting cast consists of Hi Flow cast iron Stage V heads, single plane M1 aluminum intake, 850 cfm Edelbrock carburetor, and Hooker long tube headers with Flowmaster mufflers.
• Transmission: John Walter at Lee Myles Transmissions in Scottsdale built the 727 automatic.
• Rearend: Dana 60 with 3.54 gears purchased from Houser's Rearend Service in Pennsylvania.

Sure Grip
• Suspension: Restored to factory specs.
• Brakes: A front SSBC disc brake kit improves the massive B-Body's stopping power, while factory drums hold things down out back.
• Wheels and Tires: Steve Hank at AAcurate Auto helped Robert measure the offset and got him a great deal on his American Racing Torq-Thrust II wheels. They are 15x7-inch fronts and 15x10-inch rears with BFG Radial T/A tires - 225/70R5 and 295/50R15.

High Impact
• Paint and Body: Tim Simmons at Painting Plus in Mesa, Arizona, performed all the paint and bodywork. The task proved to be quite the challenge as the trunk floor was replaced along with partial floor pans, both lower quarters, and the driver's side rear wheel well. Tim made the work look easy and dressed the B-Body in Plum Crazy when he was done. A fiberglass Six-Pack hood was added and painted flat black.
• Interior: Chuck Booth in Phoenix, Arizona, was selected to restore the interior. Most of the parts were sourced from Stephens Performance out of Anderson, Alabama. The remaining parts were located with the help of YearOne and Summit Racing. American Classic Restoration refinished the Rallye dash, center console, and door badges.
