Miss Belvedere, An Update
Hemmings recently did an update on Miss Belvedere, the 1957 Plymouth that was entombed in an underground vault/time capsule in Tulsa OK. 50 years later, in 2007, one lucky Tulsaite was to win the perfectly preserved car! Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out as planned. More pics of the car after the jump.

Dodge to Offer One Year Leases
Are you in the market for a Charger or Challenger but are wondering if you should maybe wait for the new, refreshed 2015’s? It appears Dodge is fearing this trend.

Here’s to having your cake and eating it too! Find more info at Carscoops.
Milburn Varner’s Race Car Collection
Check out Hot Rod for the story of Milburn Varner and his collection of Mopar cars that have sat untouched since he retired from the drag strip in the early seventies. He yanked the Hemi from a 1967 Belvedere GTX convertible to transplant to his race ‘Cuda! He still has both. He refuses to sell or restore, “I ain’t sellin’ this stuff–it’s all about braggin’ rights, and the money don’t mean as much as these old cars and all of the good memories they gave me.” That’s fine in my book but still, a bit of soap and water would do wonders.

2014 Ram Power Wagon
