ON THE WARPATH – Just when he thought he was out, Grant Guthrie was pulled back into racing after spotting a 1965 Chevy C10 that was collecting dust in a barn…Guthrie’s first automobile was a 1968 Chevy step-side pickup that he shoehorned a 454 big-block and Turbo 400 three speed transmission into….

DUSTING THE COMPETITION – Sometimes those thoughts involve a car we once owned, and for Hemet, California’s Mike Coffey, that was a 1970 Plymouth Duster that he sold to help finance the purchase of a home. “I always felt like I had unfinished business with it,” Coffey said of his Plymouth, “and there was a lot I had done that I wanted to do differently.”

Steve had some fun in his newly acquired ride…
