Not sure where or when this happened, all we know is it’s sad. The guys at Moparts speculate that the fire was the result of a flammable glass reproduction air cleaner assembly and rubber fuel line. Apparently the owner ran through his only fire extinguisher quickly but wasn’t able to stop the blaze. All he could do was stand there and take pics til the fire deparment showed up. More pics of the carnage after the jump!
Considering they only built 1,000 1987 Shelby Charger GLHS’s, finding five of them in one place is pretty amazing. Condition varies from driver quality to project cars needing full restos, but this auction is definitely worth a look for fans of these cars. And for those not familiar with these cool 80s Mopars, there is some good into here. The car pictured below is car #55 of 1,000 with 88,500 original miles. The auction takes place on June 19.

BangShift just posted an awesome wheelstand gallery from the 2013 Holley National Hot Rod Reunion. Is it our imagination or are most of them Mopars? Love the Hurst Hemi Under Glass! More pics after the jump, including a badass Belvedere wagon. You can see the rest at BangShift!
Autoblog just posted these two B5 blue 1970 Plymouth Superbirds on their Facebook page. We approve of this pic.
Beautiful Curious Yellow 383 car with a white interior and big billboards! The only thing that would make this better would be a 4-speed and a Hemi! Seller claims it to be a rust free California car, totally restored and documented and rated by Galen Govier a 1.4 out of 6 (1 being the best). This is a super rare car: it’s one of just 374 Cuda convertibles built in 1971 and one of just 87 automatic 383 convertibles. The Buy It Now price is set at $198,630. Worth it? Check out a ton more pics plus the eBay auction text after the jump!
The SRT guys recently took the new Viper over to Livernois Motorsports in Dearborn, Michigan for a bit of testing. The results for the SRT V-10 were a very impressive 558 horsepower at the wheels and 526 lb.-ft.of torque. (Keep in mind that at-the-wheels numbers are usually 15 percent lower due to driveline losses, so these numbers are very much in keeping with the factory numbers of 640-horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.)

This World War II era Willys was sent to support the US Army ini Sicily in 1943. Seven decades later, current owner Vittorio Argento, an Italian radio journalist, decided to bring the correctly restored Willys back to Toledo where it was born. Though the original Willys assembly plant is long gone, he was able to bring it to the Toledo Assembly Complex, where the current Jeep Wranglers is built. Video after the jump! Via Chrysler
Here’s another great find by the guys at BangShift. This is a real factory 340 car, built right for the NHRA Stock Eliminator class. It’s not street legal now but could easily be made street legal again. Currently runs low 11s and seems like a lot of car for the money with a Buy It Now of $15,900. More pics plus the eBay auction text after the jump!
AMC built just a few of these fiberglass-bodied AMX prototypes. This particular example was supposed to be incinerated, but instead was rescued by a line worker in AMC’s Kenosha assembly plant–for just $50! It is still owned by the same family and is featured in the current issue of Hemmings Classic Car.
Ok, so most of the time Al Bundy’s car in Married With Children was actually a Duster. But whatever. Video after the jump! Oh, and be sure to check out this guy’s 1/25th scale model.
