Dodge Lancer – Fort Greene, Brooklyn NY

November 18th, 2010 by Ian

Spotted here in all it’s glory, a 1962 Dodge Lancer 770 2-door.  It’s not everyday that you come across one of these so-called “compact cars” circa 1962 (a little more exicitng than a Civic or Corolla wouldn’t you say?) Dimensions aside, this was a very unique car thanks to stand out design cues like a full-width grille, round taillights, snubbed trunk, and chrome Lancer script that happens to be the perfect little detail.  And don’t let the sedan qualities of this ride fool you, the Hyper-Pak equipped Lancer is known to conquer many a drag strip.

You can thank our good buddy and Brooklyn-based man on the street Dave Pinter for the glorious snaps.

Father and Son Dodge Challengers – Corona, California

March 10th, 2010 by Stu

You don’t see this everyday – papa Challenger, in all his original glory, alongside the younger, svelter offspring. Harder to believe, the cars are painted in near identical color schemes. But this automotive encounter wasn’t planned, I swear. Our Pal Andy was cruising in his Hemi Orange SRT-8 (left) and caught an eyeful of vintage Mopar staring back at him (right). Driving by without taking a picture is like sticking up a bank and not taking the money. Perhaps the best part, this is not the first time we have spotted such a righteous muscle car pose. Hopefully it won’t be the last.

Thanks Andy! Great find.

Muscle Car Trifecta – Harriman State Park, New York

March 6th, 2010 by Stu

I was going through my files and stumbled onto these amazing pictures taken during a muscle car comparo I wrote for the Summer 2009 issue of Men’s Fitness. The photo editor decided against using these images, instead opting for stock photography to accompany the review. He fed me some line about the gloomy weather not being sunny enough. Does anyone know what he was thinking? We all know that wet muscle cars look better than dry muscle cars any day of the week. They have more attitude. And the grey skies add a menacing effect to the trio’s already aggressive styling. I hope you enjoy them.

Dodge Dart – Puerto Morelos, Mexico

February 19th, 2010 by Stu

This fourth generation Dart 270 coupe was spotted at sundown in Puerto Morelos, a quaint little town and seaport 22 miles south of Cancún. Good to see American muscle is alive and well in Mexico. More after the jump.

Platinum Motorsports – Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles

November 9th, 2009 by Stu

Platinum Motorsports Challenger

Our buddy Matt spotted a couple of custom creations at Platinum Motorsport on Melrose. The high end tuner shop did a great job with this Hemi Orange Challenger SRT-8. We like the less-is-more aesthetic they achieved by removing or darkening the badges. And the black wheels, tints and fuel cap door lend a menacing effect to the already imposing muscle car stance.  Not like this baby needs it but we’re curious what’s going on under the hood. Check out the tricked out Mercedes CLS after the jump.

1995 Dodge Viper RT/10 – East 23rd Street, NYC

June 24th, 2009 by Stu

 

95-viper-rt-10-e23rd-streetIt’s always a treat to see one of the 25,000 or so Vipers produced since introduction in 1992. And given the livery vehicle choices seen here, we would definitely hail down the “Race Yellow” snake charm owned and operated by Long Island resident Alan Stewart.

Dodge Chargers – Lafayette Street, NYC

June 12th, 2009 by Ian

 

1966-dodge-charger-383We spotted not one but two Dodge Chargers on Lafayette street, parked outside of the Meineke Car Care center. Apparently the grease monkeys over there also deal in rare and desirable classics – so you can repair a muffler and buy a new vintage car all in the same visit.

Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible – 3rd Avenue, NYC

June 2nd, 2009 by Stu


It’s almost bittersweet to to see modern, horsepower-laden hot rods like this tooling around on a sunny Sunday. That may sound strange considering Viper’s snarling good looks and Snakeskin Green Pearl Coat, but these high octane fossil burners are a dying breed thanks to, amongst other things, increasingly strict emissions controls. Cross your fingers and prey that the garlic king of Michigan saves the Viper nameplate from Chapter 11-related extinction.

VW Bus (Type 2) – West Village, NYC

May 8th, 2009 by Stu

vw-bus-west-villageThis second generation bus (1968-1979) was found smiling at street goers in the West Village. It’s almost surreal to see something so calming mixed in with the move-it-or-lose-it NYC landscape. The enthusiastic paint job and bumper stickers speak of road trips and cool experiences. More importantly, they tell career-obsessed New Yorkers about what life could be like outside the cubicle. We wish VW would give us another one of these instead of a re-badged Dodge Caravan and Brooke Shields.

Ford Mustang – 9th Avenue, NYC

April 22nd, 2009 by Stu

ford-mustang-9th-avenue
Not the best year for Ford’s perennial muscle car (Gen II: 1974 – 1978). In fact, there wasn’t a whole lot of muscle to speak of thanks to tougher pollution laws and the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s. Believe it or not, this so called street rod was based on a Ford Pinto subcompact in an effort to better compete against imports that shined during the energy crisis. But Mustang has stood the test of time – unlike Pony car comrades Camaro and Challenger, Mustang is the only Pony car that never ceased production since its inception.
