Jay Leno is no stranger to the custom, unique built his garage full of this creation, which were designed and built with little practice all parked next to historic vehicles and timeless classics factory meticulously restored examples None of they are more or grandiose nonsense that 1939 Plymouth van.
It's powered by a 757 cubic-inch, seven-cylinder radial engine lifted from a Cessna 195 floatplane 1940s both the truck and the plane sitting in the courtyard save Gary Corns in Colorado for almost 30 years before it unseal dreamed this concoction.
He decided to marry the radial engine with the pick-up and cover every square inch with an aviation theme period The result this pickup Plymouth looking like a bomber WWII Horns time and his team of volunteers to friends set up the project several months of work after hours on Wednesday, skin bare metal with rivets make the truck look like a plane aluminum compete with mounted roof windows, painted warning signs at hand, and the red and green traffic lights.

Shelby cars dominated in Indianapolis with two examples to seven figures at the top of the list.
The history of Mecum Auctions dates back to 1988 at the Rockford Airport, where the first sale to the Mecum auction took place in the last 28 years, Mecum has increased dramatically, now ranked No. 1 in the US for collector cars offered for auction, collector cars sold at auction, the total dollar volume of sales, and the largest number of auction sites on top of that, he became the host of the largest auction world auction vintage cars which hosted every year in Florida.
This past week, Mecum has organized an auction in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Indiana State fairgrounds this year there were a total of 1,859 lots that included many vintage cars, a few petrol pumps, neon, and even some children rooms rides the big news of the auction, however, was the pair of Shelby Cobras who broke seven digits before the hammer fell and some other classics that deserve to take a further look at.
We took the time to cover the biggest sellers of the auction, as well as some of those who didn t sell at all There was even a Plymouth 1971 Hemi Cuda Pro Stock who got the highest 750 000 but didn t get high enough to cross that thin reserve line that was just one of many that didn t sell, and both Shelby Cobras weren t the only models that have found new owners last week so we'll take a look look at some of the more notable vehicles that went under the hammer last week.
There is a really good reason why you are reading these words right now you love cars non-car people don t get it They laugh and roll their eyes, calling a waste of time to repair that old beater, a waste of money to the track for another weekend s ok let em of course it doesn t make sense for they do not know the joy of finally getting an engine to boost the life they do not know the thrill to a new personal best lap Too bad time for them.

Oh, there are some really, really spy photographers warn out and about these days and this time they caught the mother of all the shots Barracuda was a company on and off of Chrysler for a while, but we now have evidence these exclusive spy shots that will debut at this year's New York International Auto Show in April what is more, there is nothing like each of us imagined it would be.
So we get to have a little birdie who works in the printing department for a large automotive monthly publication, and he noticed that the boss man was that only few have seen the inside of the magazine when it is arrived in a lost copy, he was as shocked as we want to see the Barracuda not return as a muscle car, but as rebadged Dodge Dart sigh Our dreams are now crushed.
He managed to grab his cell and snap a few quick pictures, and it was the clearest one he could get, as he feared his boss could come around the corner at any moment We cleaned it a bit by changing the black and white, the colors were a bit messy in poor lighting.
According to our source, the Barracuda has the same platform as the Fiat compact Dart and Chrysler 200, but with some extra performance goodies Besides images, he scanned the page for as much information as he could absorb, and managed to catch that it will feature four-cylinder turbocharged engine with somewhere in the 250 horsepower range and 260 pound-feet, and it will debut in New York this year Unfortunately, this is all the information it could enter in the short time he was alone with the parasite mag.
Although the image is blurred, he described it as a Dodge Dart with SRT aero mods and rims, and a black grille He could not tell if it was a Plymouth or SRT model, but the chances of bringing Chrysler Plymouth the only model are slim to none.
So here you have people; Fiat struck again by releasing another icon Chrysler muscle car years as a sedan driven forward, the Dodge Dart We will bury our heads in the sand until the NYIAS is complete.
Updated January 4, 2014 If you haven t figured it out yet, this is the fruit of our imagination crazy here in the offices of TOPSPEED Our artist has made an extraordinary Dodge Dart amended pages some magazines at random, fuzzy text a bit and stuck in a Barracuda emblem and even a barracuda swimming in the background of the corny effect added Thanks for playing along, we'll be here all night; make sure you tip the waiters and waitresses.
