Jeep Hurricane - Dream Cars

The Jeep Hurricane's one-piece body is composed largely of light-weight carbon fiber. The Hurricane’s body also serves as the chassis, and all of the vehicle's components such as the engine's (yes there's two!), transmission, and suspension system are mounted directly to the body. The skid plate is an aluminum spine that connects the chassis to the underside of the vehicle. The Hurricane doesn’t have side doors or a roof, and there is only seating for two people.

Powered by two 5.7-liter HEMI engines, one in the front and one in the back, making a total of 670 horsepower, driving all 4 wheels the power is certainly there. And with fully controllable 4 wheel steering so is the maneuverability.

So the Jeep's claims are probably true!

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.

A Marine pulled into a little town

By the time a Marine pulled into a little town, every hotel room was taken.

“ You’ve got to have a room somewhere,” he pleaded. “Or just a bed, I don’t care where.”

“Well, I do have a double room with one occupant, a Navy guy,” admitted the manager, “and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I’m not sure it’d be worth it to you.”

“No problem,” the tired Marine assured him. “I’ll take it.”

The next morning the Marine came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “How’d you sleep?” Asked the manager.

“Never better.”

The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?”

“Nope, I shut him up in no time.” Said the Marine.

“How’d you manage that?” asked the manager.

“He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room,” the Marine explained. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, said, ‘Goodnight, beautiful,’ and he sat up all night watching me.”

1964 Ford Falcon

I love the look of the Ford Falcons; they have that old school look with some serious power beneath the hood. They offered this in a couple of different version, including the convertible and also a station wagon.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack

This was one badass car that put out 425 horsepower. This has great lines and looks like one very smooth car from front to rear. For an additional fee you could get the hood scoops and really stand out.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

It wasn’t so long ago that Ford unveiled the Boss 302R at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. It was a fully caged and bare bones race car made a lot of enthusiasts hopeful for a street going variation as the race-car was limited to a production run of only 50. It’s been confirmed today in Monterey, California, 41 years later after the initial introduction of the first Boss in 1969, that there will indeed be a new Ford Mustang Boss 302 for 2012.

KILLER CUSTOMS 66 SUPERNOVA

Ok let’s take a little break from our July drifting fixation and look at a very different type of modified car: the Killer Customs built 1966 Pro Touring style Chevy Nova.
Those of you who have been around American cars for the past few decades will know that the big trend in hot rods and street machines for many years has been the Pro Street style. The aim was to take a street car and make it look and perform like a full drag race machine; capable of outrageous 1/4 mile times, but still vaguely street legal. This was the de-facto standard for many, many years in the muscle car world. This all changed though when the Pro Touring style emerged a few years ago. Suddenly people wanted to make their classic American cars handle, accelerate and brake like modern performance machines. They wanted the style of a classic car but with the advantages of 40 years of technological development. A new style was born.

Senior Citizens

A married couple is travelling by car from Victoria to Prince George.

Being seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.

When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it’s a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren’t worth $350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the ‘standard rate’. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for us to use.

“But we didn’t use them,” the husband said.

“Well, they are here, and you could have,” explained the Manager.

The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here,” the Manager says.

“But we didn’t go to any of those shows,” the husband said.

“Well, we have them, and you could have,” the Manager replied.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, “But we didn’t use it!”

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didn’t have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check.
She did and gave it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. “But ma’am, this is made out for only $50.00.”

“That’s correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me,” she replied.

“But I didn’t!” exclaims the Manager.

“Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have.”

Don’t mess with senior citizens….. They didn’t get there by being stupid.

1972 Ford Maverick Grabber 302

If, in 1972, you didn't like Plymouth's Duster or Chevrolet's Nova, Ford had the Maverick for you. Speed freaks could single out the Grabber 302 on dealership lots, specifically, identifiable thanks to its unique hood scoops, stripes and spoilers.

1970 AMC AMX

The AMX squeezed a pretty potent performance package on top of a 97-inch wheelbase chassis. How's a compact with a 390 cu. in. V8 underhood sound? We can't understand how this company went under.

1972 Dodge Demon GSS

The Dodge Challenger T/A and Plymouth Barracuda AAR were the street-legal homologated versions of Chrysler's entries into the SCCA Trans Am series. The cars came with a potent 340 small-block topped with a trio of two-barrel carbs they called the "Six Pack." Not only were they quick, the street cars looked the part of race car, with flat black hoods capped with unique scoops; special rear spoilers; and side exit exhausts.

1969 Yenko Chevy "SuperNova" 427

Don Yenko was known for his fire-breathing Camaros and Chevelles, but he stuffed 427 cu. in. engines into little Novas, too. We'll forgive you if you didn't know, since his dealership only turned out about 37 Yenko Supernovas.

1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

The Dodge Challenger T/A and Plymouth Barracuda AAR were the street-legal homologated versions of Chrysler's entries into the SCCA Trans Am series. The cars came with a potent 340 small-block topped with a trio of two-barrel carbs they called the "Six Pack." Not only were they quick, the street cars looked the part of race car, with flat black hoods capped with unique scoops; special rear spoilers; and side exit exhausts.

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.

2012 Victory High-Ball Bobber Preview

It looks like American manufacturer Victory Motorcycles has gone back to old school with its new High-Ball bobber. Featuring matte paint schemes, whitewall tread tires, ape hangers and no sign of chrome, the bike is a true attention grabber.

The matte paint scheme shown is black with an accent of white on the tank, complemented by old school whitewall tires. Other highlights include a low, solo seat, and standard ape hanger handle bars.

Victory describes the High Ball as “Stripped down. Bare bones. A bold throwback. The all-new Victory High-Ball rumbles down the road in the spirit of the classic bobber with an outright refusal to sacrifice performance along the way. Built piece by piece around the road-pounding 106 Freedom V-Twin, it’s a ride with all the power and agility you’d expect from a Victory.”

“If you’re a pure rider with a passion for old-school styling, this is the bike you fire up for the first time and never look back,” says the American motorcycle manufacturer.

The new High-ball is available in the United States starting this April, in Solid Black color scheme, and it is priced at $13,499.

1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler

If you wanted a big, fast Ford in 1970, your options boiled down to a Ford Torino or a Mercury Cyclone Spoiler. The Mercury, though slightly larger than Ford’s Torino, came equipped with everything a gear head buyer could want. The standard motor, a 429 V8, put out 370 horsepower and breathed through a functional hood scoop. The transmission was a four speed with a Hurst shifter, and a Traction-Lok differential made sure the power got to the ground.
The Mercury came with a “competition” handling package, though that term may have been optimistic, considering the Cyclone Spoiler’s 4,100 pound curb weight. On the inside, buyers got a full set of gauges (instead of the idiot lights found in the Torino, a round tach instead of Ford’s horizontal tach, vinyl bucket seats and real simulated woodgrain trim.

The Mercury Cyclone Spoiler was good for a 0 to 60 time of about 6.3 seconds, and could turn the quarter mile in the low 14s, just north of 100 miles per hour. It’s fastback body shape was stunning, even though the rear quarter panels and deck lid were a bit long for my tastes.

1962 Plymouth 413 Max Wedge

The "Max Wedge" actually refers to the race-ready dual-quad 413 cu. in. engines available on Dodge and Plymouth two-doors between '62 and '65 (that's a Max Wedge '63 Dodge Polara above). The cars were already usually lighter than their Chevy and Ford rivals, but could be ordered without heaters and radios anyway. In '62 Max Wedge cars ran high-11 second quarter-miles — shifted with a push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission.

1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

Worried people thought of their upmarket Cougar as more of a luxury coupe than a muscle car, Mercury took action and in 1969 unveiled this "road animal," the Cougar Eliminator. The 1970 Eliminator (pictured above) used a Ram Air hood scoop to feed a 351 Cleveland V8 as much oxygen as possible; the 428 Super Cobra Jet was a rare option.

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."

1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455

The 455-SD or "Super Duty" engine was one of the last high-performance muscle car era big-blocks GM offered. You'd find it in the '73 Pontiac Trans Am with a "shaker scoop" on top, peeking out through the hood.

1971 AMC Javelin SST

The AMC Javelin may have been the underdog sales-wise, but it was certainly no slouch in the performance-and-looks department. You could order the bulging-fenders muscle car in several "Big Bad" colours and with a variety of wing-tastic spoilers. Power came courtesy a 401 cu. in. V8.

1965 Shelby Mustang GT350

As if the production Mustang wasn't hot enough, legendary Texas tuner Carroll Shelby collaborated with Ford in 1965 on these special GT350 models. These were basically street-legal versions of Shelby's GT350R race car, powered by Ford's 289 Hi-Po small-block. The legend grew the following year when rental company Hertz snapped up some Shelbys as part of their "Rent-a-Racer" program. Some were apparently returned with their high-power engines myseriously swapped out. Huh.

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.

Dear wife

“Dear wife, You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant. I’ll be home before midnight. – Your Husband”

When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:

“Dear Husband. You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Hotel with the 18-year-old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don’t wait up.”

FERRARI 612 GTO

We won’t be wrong if we say that this concept is the best Ferrari concept car from designers who have never worked in the design department of Ferrari. This extraordinarily beautiful super car is called Ferrari 612 GTO. The creator of this concept – Sasha Selipanov from Berlin, Germany. Concept Ferrari 612 GTO by Sasha – really exciting concept. Perhaps Ferrari leadership will pay attention to this work and will considere it while creating their subsequent models of super cars.

Mercedes-Benz CLS Tuned by Vitt Performance

We have to tell you from the beginning that we are going to talk about a piece of exterior tuning coming from Japan, so expect to see bits and pieces that might not suit everybody’s taste. Getting to the point, we’ll show you what Japanese aftermarket developer Vitt Performance can do for the second-generation Mercedes CLS.
The four-door coupe was gifted with a wide body kit, which includes a front bumper with generously-sized air intakes and LED daytime running lights, beefy side skirts and door panels, as well as a rear bumper that includes a diffuser and a quadruple exhaust with oval tips that overlap.

Of course, these are all topped by the beefier wheel arches and a boot lid spoiler. The Vitt Performance Mercedes CLS rides on a set of rims that use a five-double spoke design with an extra-wide lip.

Luxury Osros Floating Island

Designed by an Austrian company the Osros floating island includes six luxury double bedrooms, with space for 12 residents and four staff members. The boat is priced at £3 million.
The manufacturers describe the island as an “autonomous power supply based energy system” powered by a noiseless wind energy system. The island also features over 120 m2 of solar panels. Heat recovery from the sea water is used for heating and air conditioning. The company explains: “In the beginning, my goal was to create an exclusive, high-quality hotel chain based on floating platforms. With the progress of the project it became clear that the attractive and unusual concept of Orsos Islands should not be limited to only a selected group of people. Orsos Islands should reach a much broader audience, people with an awareness of modern life and a feeling of responsibility towards the environment.” The Austrian company began construction of the prototype in Germany and Hungary. The company’s goal is to show the structure to the public by the end of 2013.

1967 Chevrolet - Chevelle

1966 saw a complete restyle of the Chevelle on the previous frame that included smooth contours, a broad new grille and bumper treatment, and curved side windows. Bulging rear fender lines and a "flying buttress" roofline (tunneled into the "C" pillar) were highlights of the '66 hardtops, shared with other GM "A" body models. The new body reflected the "Coke bottle" body shape that became the fad for American cars in the mid-1960s. A 4-door hardtop-styled Sport Sedan joined the Malibu series. It was an attractive car and was offered through 1972, but never achieved the high-production figures as the pillared sedan. Chevelles continued in 300, 300 Deluxe, and Malibu trim. Available engines were a 327-cubic-inch V8 instead of either of the sixes, or the mid-level option, a 220-horsepower 283-cubic-inch V8. Judicious attention to the options list could add a tachometer, mag-style wheel covers, and sintered-metallic brakes. Four-way power seats, a tissue dispenser, and cruise control were optional.

Gran Turismo Creator Picks 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 For New Game

For the past 10 years at the SEMA show, Sony, together with the people behind Gran Turismo, has picked a winning design that eventually appears as a playable car in its next version of the popular Gran Turismo video game. This year the winner was this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 hot rod, which was created by David Eckert and his team at Eckert’s Rod & Custom.
One of the judges of the unique Gran Turismo award is the game’s creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, a self-confessed gearhead who even enters the odd Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race. He chose Eckert’s hot rod over other notable cars such as the 500-horsepower VW Beetle by APR and 650-horsepower Ford Mustang GT by Mothers, Autosport Dynamics and RTR.

Speaking at the SEMA show, which took place last week, Yamauchi said, “We continue to be blown away by the quality of the vehicles that are submitted and are excited to add 1969 Ford Mach 40 to our list of distinguished winners and to the Gran Turismo franchise.”

Originally a 1969 Mach 1, Eckert’s custom Mustang took a total of three years to build. The goal behind the project was to transform the Mach 1 into a mid-engine supercar, so using parts from both a ’69 Mach 1 and a ’06 Ford GT, the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 was born.

Power comes from a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 that was designed to be flex-fuel capable. Output ranges from 600 to 850 horsepower, adjustable via a dial inside the car. One strange element is the car’s suspension, which was borrowed from a C6 Corvette.

DODGE CHARGER 1969

The 1969 model year brought few modifications. Exterior changes included a new grille with a center divider and new longitudinal taillights both designed by Harvey J. Winn.
A new trim line called the Special Edition (SE) was added. This could be available by itself or packaged with the R/T, thus making an R/T-SE. The SE added leather inserts to the front seats only, chrome rocker moldings, a wood grain steering wheel and wood grain inserts on the instrument panel. A sunroof was added to the option list as well, and saw only 260 sold installations. The bumble bee stripes returned as well, but were changed slightly. Instead of four stripes it now featured one huge stripe framed by two smaller stripes. In the middle of the stripe an R/T cutout was placed. If the stripe was deleted, a metal R/T emblem was placed where the R/T cutout was. Total production was around 89,199 units.

Stunning “iXoost” Dock

This stunning iOS dock called iXoost is hand-built in Italy. Graceful and shiny pipes are complimented by leather trim and a base made from a solid block of aluminum. The docks are available in V8, V10 and V12 models. The V8 and V10 have the same specs: two 28mm tweeters, two 25mm midrange cone drivers, one 100mm subwoofer and one 200mm subwoofer. The top of the line V12 adds an additional tweeter, midrange driver and 100mm subwoofer. The iXoost website doesn’t list prices for the docks, but you can be sure they’re expensive. Take a look!
