WE BUILD EXCITEMENT! – Alex Sanchez Pontiac Firebird Trans Am went from muscle car to no prep warrior! Pontiac’s Firebird and subsequent Trans Am models always looked fast, and many of them were equipped with capable Pontiac Ram Air powerplants, LT1 small-blocks, as well as the LS1 engine. Its no surprise then that these cars were often sought after by car enthusiasts everywhere and when Alex Sanchez saw this Trans Am on the side of the road, he knew he had to have it.
NEAR EXTINCTION – Ryan Hall’s Street/Strip ’64 Falcon is a rare bird wherever it goes! Having started tinkering in his father’s garage at the young age of 10, it’s no surprise that Ryan Hall took possession of his first car, a 1967 Mustang at the age of 13. What might surprise you is that he still has that car.
MOTIVATION – Nicholas Paone’s stunning 2023 Camaro COPO build is more than just a pretty race car! For Nicholas, cars have been part of life since he was a kid, literally. With his father owning and operating a full scale wrecking yard during his childhood and teen years, Paone may very well have had the ultimate environment for a future gearhead to grow up in.
REPRINT EXTRA!!
REAL TEAL – This ultra clean Cobra runs bottom 8’s while looking like a stock daily driver! There are many reasons car owners are attracted to racing their cars; for Wesley Evans, it came from family. Growing up, both his mom and dad had hot rods when American muscle ruled the streets.
CORRECT DIRECTION – This 526 Inc nitroused Dart means business! The late 60’s and early 70’s was a perfect time to be a car guy….. American muscle lived in every corner of the States, and all of the major car manufacturers had their hands in the pot. Chrysler marketed Dodge as their more “race” brand, and we all know why.
