This 1950 Dodge Coronet Made For A Pleasant Interruption

As diverse as the collector car populace is, it seems everyone knows someone who has an incredible knack for finding vintage vehicles. Common or rare; domestic or import; car or truck; restored or project–the finds keep coming at a rate that would make the late Bill Harrah blush with envy. And then there are guys like Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Stan Sipko; the kind of guy who doesn’t purposefully seek out old rides, but rather they find him. If...

Awesome Diecast Has Made A Business Out Of Collecting Scale Models

Self-professed gearhead, Jeff Silver, has been a diecast collector all his life. As a kid, he was always enamored with miniature depictions of real-life vehicles. But Silver did not know he could turn a hobby into a very robust side hustle. “At my work for a Fortune 100 company, they needed a diecast model for a trade show giveaway,” Silver said. “Nobody knew who to contact, but I did, having already collected them.” He sourced a thousand trucks...

This Pair Of 1916 Oldsmobile Model 44s from The John McTaggart Collection Was Remanufactured From Parts

Oldsmobile made headlines for the debut of its OHV “Rocket” V-8 in 1949, but it wasn’t the automaker’s first V-8. Lesser known is that Oldsmobile first introduced a V-8 all the way back in 1916, with its Model 44, a.k.a. the “Light Eight.” That L-head V-8 displaced 246-cu.in. and Oldsmobile rated it at 40 horsepower, an impressive figure for the time and double Ford’s Model T output as a frame of reference. Though the car proved somewhat popular...

Amazing Toyota GR Yaris GRMN timed on track and 0-60mph

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-3105 How’s THIS for a World Exclusive! Mat’s flown over to Japan, and he’s got his hands on every edition of GR Yaris ever made! But that’s not all, he’s going to be the first journalist EVER to take these cars around Toyota’s all-new test track! During this video, he’ll get his hands on the 1st generation, the Japan-exclusive GRMN, the 2nd generation (both manual & automatic), and the limited-edition Ojier & Rovanperä editions! So let’s take a look at how they compare. Starting with the 1st GR Yaris, it comes with a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine that produces 272hp and 370Nm. It’s equipped with a switchable four-wheel drive system and a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it truly is an affordable and incredible rally car for the road! Then we come to the GRMN edition. Only 500 were ever made, and while horsepower is the same, torque increases slightly to 390Nm. The car also comes with several other upgrades, including a carbon fibre wing and bonnet, a lower ride height, and a load of Alcantara on the inside! Then we come to the second generation. Power has been increased to 300hp and 400Nm, and it’s available either manually or automatically. It comes with stiffer suspension, a 20mm lower ride height than the gen one, and a set of digital dials. It also comes with a loftier price tag, starting at £40,000. And then finally we have the two limited-edition models, built with personal input from drivers from the Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC team. Both editions have exclusive paint jobs, improved rear wings, as well as drive mode settings personally chosen by the two drivers. Both cars are limited to just 200 editions each! It’s the video every GR Yaris fan has been waiting for, but which will Mat choose as his favourite? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!

13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.
