Supercharged 540-Powered 1941 Willys Pickup Gasser
I was looking forward to this listing which was mentioned during the 1959 Vette Gasser auction recently completed. It is easy to see it is related in style and quality and if anything is even more outrageously extreme as a street registered dragster. The comments about what appears to be…
No Reserve: 48k-Mile 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line 4Motion
@pacers35 Fuel mileage was one of the great things about the Tigs I drove. Stock with the 200HP 2.0 I still saw 30MPG on highway speed road trips. I don’t soft pedal at all and around town can be guilty of enjoying turbo accelaration. There I was seeing low 20s.…

30-Years-Owned, 502-Powered ’27 Ford Model T Roadster
I appreciate the priority of Go over Show, more seat time than lawn chair time. The proportions key to any hot rod are great but most of all it’s purposeful. With that power-to-weight I can’t fully imagine what it’s like though the design goal of 30 to 70 I think…

1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe 4-Speed Race Car
May 1 at 10:17 AM
What a time capsule! When introduced in 1967 with the new Camaro the option code Z/28 was not yet meaningful or famous to the public. It was strictly a homologation optimization for giving the Camaro an advantage in the SCCA A/Sedan class. Most importantly the Trans Am professional series had…
1935 Packard Eight Series 1201 Phaeton
March 1 at 6:01 PM
My Dad was born in 1920, was fascinated by machinery and became an accomplished engineer, only after surviving Iwo Jima as a Marine. Christmas 1929 he was showered with cool gifts, including a couple of Buddy L toys and a deluxe Erector Set, which I still have. BTW in mint…
Winner: 2024 BaT Cognoscenti Award—ValiantJim!
January 16 at 7:10 PM
Jeez, I’m late to the party and even more surprised than when I was nominated! I am still trying to process all this as I’ve never considered myself someone who’s particularly noticed in the @BaT community. I’ve rather been a student for all the passion that comes out from fellow…
350-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Vega Panel Express
April 20 at 8:48 AM
Always a fan of V8 Vega swaps! They used to be one of the most common hot rods as decent low mileage Vega bodies with worn out engines were everywhere through the 70’s and early 80’s. As a car crazed kid I nearly held my breath through GMs intro ad…
