This mean-looking Pro-Touring 1969 Camaro showcases Detroit Speed’s comprehensive approach to enhancing all aspects of performance. Beyond power such as that found in the car’s dual 4-barrel 350 CI small block, Pro Touring also emphasizes handling and braking. The former comes via Detroit Speed front suspension, frame connectors, 4-link rear suspension, coilovers and a complete mini tub kit to keep it all nicely packaged; the latter is courtesy of Baer Extreme Plus 6-piston disc brakes.
A DS firewall plate, B Cool radiator and Vintage Air complete the engine compartment. DS also supplied the custom dash insert, electric RS headlight door kit, battery mount and windshield wiper kit. Eye-popping Red and Black paint, a custom interior with full gauges, aluminum center console, billet switchgear and hand-stitched upholstery and matching Red-on-Black Asanti wheels complete this one-of-a-kind Pro Touring powerhouse.

Boyd bought the 1941 Pickup at a Good Guys show in Indianapolis, to use it as his shop truck. After purchasing, he added a tilt column and ’40 steering wheel, and he painted the dash and door interiors. He had the seats upholstered, added the headliner, and a Lokar shifter. He then added gauges, installed vintage air, and completely rebuilt the motor. In addition, he lowered the truck, added a power brake unit, and new exhaust system. Finally, he pinstriped the truck and added the lettering to the doors that reads “Boyd Coddington Garage, since 1956”. The shop truck was featured in several episodes of the TLC program “American Hot Rod.”

This 1949 Chevrolet Convertible was built for Greg Turchetta in 1993 since Greg admired the 1950 Turtle Back that Boyd customized for Jamie Musselman. Conceptualized and sketched by Chip Foose, the ’49 Convertible was nearly identical in body to the ’50 Turtle Back. Only the engines are different; the Turtle Back has a 350 engine with dual quads, while Greg requested an LT-1 engine for his Convertible. Bill purchased the ’49 Convertible in 2009 and had it restored in 2010. Updates included a revised leather interior designed by Ron Mangus, and updated paint and body modifications by Charley Hutton.

RER, Inc has developed a tribute to the infamous Cheetah. The project started in 2006. The idea was born from the retro-rod industry that is popular now. With our Corvette history we decided to create our own version of a Cheetah that we could market to the experienced builder. We opted for the 90-96 C4 Corvette suspension and designed a 1 1/2" round tube chassis to keep the wheel base and track to resemble the original. We then created what we thought the Cheetah body should have looked like. We added the front A pillars to house the DOT laminated windshield. Also added were front door pillars for added stability to the doors when latched or opened. Our doors are two-piece bonded with a recessed latch. The other noticeable change are the bonnet flares over the front wheels.

When it comes to being rare and something special this 1963 Chevrolet Z-11 Impala breaks the mold. The Z-11 optioned Impala was designed for one reason and one reason only...DRAG RACING! Cubic inches were climbing fast in 1963 from all the American automakers and the Z-11 427 Impala was Chevrolet's way of keeping up with Ford, Pontiac and Chrysler at the racetrack. Only 57 Z-11's were ever made and only 7 are known to still exist, making them a very valuable piece of Chevrolet history. This '63 Z-11 Impala is all performance and no frills. You will not find a radio, air conditioning or even a front sway bar. This factory prepped bad boy was built to go a quarter mile at a time. This car has been nut and frame off restored to musuem quality condtion and is a true investment piece. We also have documentation of this car's actual race history so it does have a pedigree and is more than just a restored car.

Visitors to General Motors’ “Highways and Horizons” pavilion at the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair came away awed by a vision of the future. The work of renowned designer Norman Bel Geddes, GM’s “Futurama” exhibit foretold the communities and transportation systems of 1960, many of which came to pass. Other peeks at the future included “Previews of Progress,” inventions that seemed like magic: “Yarns made of Milk! Glass that bends! The Frig-O-Therm that cooks and freezes at the same time! The Talking Flashlight transmitting speech over a light beam!” exclaimed the exhibit’s guidebook. Sharing top billing with the Futurama and Previews of Progress, however, was the “Glass’ Car – The first full-sized transparent car ever made in America.”

This sinister-looking 1969 Pontiac GTO is one of five cars built for stunt use in the 2004 Lions Gate Films comic book movie thriller The Punisher, which starred Tom Jane and John Travolta. One of just two remaining cars, it was used in the main car action scenes and in the famous “bridge burnout” scene so popular with the film’s legion of fans.
The Punisher GTO is powered by a 400/350 HP V-8 fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor and aluminum intake manifold and mated to a Hurst-shifted 3-speed manual transmission for durability, with a scattershield installed for an extra margin of safety. Tubular control arms, Fox shocks and a Richmond Gear Positraction rear end lend further durability, while front disc brakes and dash-mounted Line Lock enable smoky burnouts. Special effects figure prominently inside the all-aluminum interior, which also features retracting shuttered window armor, a custom dash, roll cage and frame reinforcements.

Yenko aficionados will recognize this Hugger Orange 1969 Yenko Super Camaro as one of the best known, highest quality original examples in the world.
