A sweet beast. I never thought much about the big birds until I stumbled into a deal for a tired but rust free 64. It cost me almost nothing, drove it for a year of college and sold at a profit. Loved the rotating drum speedometer, diner-booth back seat, zillion speed wipers and especially the vacuum operated vent…

slant six seems pretty exotic these days.

I do the same. Nice to know it adds to my outlaw credentials.

It does look as if you'd be able to stick your finger in the barrel and have the backfire render your confused assailant charred and hatless

Unrelated to track day concerns, I once replaced a suddenly disintegrating exhaust system on a '66 Chevelle with a straight pipe 'borrowed' from a nearby chain link fence. Two inches wide, ten feet long and suspended beneath the car by a piece of rebar and some wire, the damn thing was heavy, but probably weighed less…

Shiny and reflecty for sure, but basically unicorn horseshoes. Weren't they metric spec to accommodate Michelin TRX tires, something like 390 mm that equates to 15.3" rendering them incompatible with nearly all aftermarket wheels and tires?

That brought back memories of my daughter as a giggling tot whose cherished yellow Viper was the consistent winner in our Hot Wheels distance challenge. She's in college now and I gave the track and car collection to a friend's son, but the yellow Viper is on a shelf with her trophies, photos and other mementos.…

The python menace is a direct result of our persecution of snake oil salesmen. Properly managed, snake oil can fuel our cars and power our next industrial age.

Toyota's proprietary frame articulation technology elevates the vehicle's midsection to accommodate the hardware required to operate the company's frame articulation technology....

project, yes, restoration, no.

Carbon monoxide wasn't the issue. Although the first Corvairs in 1960 used an optional gasoline burning heater, from 1961 on through the end of production in 1969, the heating system captured the air used to cool the engine and routed it into the passenger compartment. Unfortunately, the shrouding that contained that…

Thank you. When confronting any problem, consider the simplest solution.

Jeeez, for the volume of vitriol generated in response to this article, you would think that Mazda had announced they had licensed GM's powerglide and would only sell Miatas with a two speed slushbox.

What brought about the change in that preference for a civilian?

another come on, just like satellite radio....three months free, and if you don't subscribe, GM turns off the gravity

I've wondered about the Maxima's role in Nissan's plans ever since they brought the Infiniti G35 to the US market and installed the 3.5 in a 'sporty' version of the Altima. For a few years the three cars were about the same size, sharing the VQ engine, and could easily be optioned up or down to the same price point.…

Just try and drive that through a school zone around here and you'd draw a SWAT team.

While Chevy small block may be a generally correct answer to many of the questions for which Miata isn't, fitting one into a 911 almost seems too pedestrian.

The auxiliary input is obviously for your guitar, a connection nobody advertised until VW in 2007

Please build it. They can and they should.
