Ford’s Godzilla V-8 Turned This 1986 Mustang Into a Showstopper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Windsor-built Mustang packs Ford power from two eras. Third heat is an intangible, often elusive element that pushes something over the edge. You know it when you see it. In fact, it’s that quality—that thing—we recognize collectively that makes an otherwise mundane project, product, or performance click culturally. LeBron James was the third heat for the Lakers, and Bob Odenkirk’s character, Saul Goodman, was the third heat for Breaking Bad. When it comes to recent hot rod builds, Canadian
500 Fox-Body Mustangs Took Over Dearborn, and the ’80s Vibe Was Strong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new venue couldn’t shake the Fox-body faithful, who brought 500-plus Mustangs back to Dearborn. Change can be difficult, but it’s often inevitable, and after three booming years in the shadow of Ford’s historic “Glass House” world headquarters building, change came to the Motor City Foxfest. It wasn’t the organizers’ choice, but the 12-story Glass House, which has been a Dearborn landmark since it opened in 1956, has a date with a demolition crew. In 2025, Ford opened a new global headquarters
Flint Built GM, Chevrolet, and the First Corvette—Its Back to the Bricks Car Show Honors Them All (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than 1,500 cars take over the brick streets of the city where GM and Chevrolet got their start. Here’s the thing about the Woodward Dream Cruise: It’s a wonderful headache. On the day of the cruise, most of the great cars are parked, and the big, broad avenue is gridlocked mostly with minivans. It’s a giant, marvelous spectacle, but not always user-friendly. Still, you’d think holding a big car event less than an hour from that automotive juggernaut was as brassy as Miami raising its hand t
A Prototype Z28 Cross-Ram From Smokey Yunick’s Stash Is Going Back Where It Belongs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Holy Grail of Z28 induction? This prototype cross-ram has a Smoky Yunick connection. When the 1967 Camaro Z28 was developed as a homologation special for SCCA’s fierce, fender-rubbing Trans-Am series, its production 302-cubic-inch engine was topped with a single Holley 4150-series carburetor. It performed well on the deep-breathing small-block, with the engine’s true output closer to 400 horsepower than the sandbagged 290-hp rating advertised with the car. The only problem was the competitio
He Parked His New Fox-Body for 20 Years, Then Everything Changed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A long-forgotten Fox-body returns with vintage 5.0 attitude, modern upgrades, and decades of memories. Time is stealthy. It creeps up on you with very little warning. One day, you’re the young guy listening to the old-timers rattle on about war stories of the street and strip, and the next thing you know, you’re the one who’s left his car in the garage and untouched for the past 20 years. That was the realization for Chuck Palfi a few years back, when the wall of his 50th birthday was fast appro
