Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Until today, we've only had one first-gen Camaro in this series. Well, that changes now, because we've got this spotless '67 RS convertible for you; it follows in the footsteps of this purple '69 coupe . I'd seen this car at the Park Street Car Show , but it...
Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Chrysler , Dodge , Design/Style 2010 Dodge Challenger in Plum Crazy - Click above to enlarge Of the three classic muscle car nameplates currently on sale in the United States, the Dodge Challenger may very well sport the most retro look and feel. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on your personal point of view, but Chrysler seems happy to accept the role...
LIBERAL, Kan. | Shortly after the May 2007 tornado destroyed 95 percent of Greensburg, Kan., National Guardsmen flew over the decimated city taking photos of the destruction. In the debris was a 1973 green Plymouth Barracuda, along with several other vehicles.
Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Do you approve of a Slant Six , dual-carbed, 4-speed-equipped '66 Barracuda? You'd better approve! V8-powered Chrysler A bodies are fine, but a hot-rodded Slant Six car just seems cooler. I spotted this car in my neighborhood, just across the street from the...
Keith Davidson took Vintage class top honors by beating out Doug Mockett by a full 6 seconds. Congratulations to Keith and all the other Vintage teams. As incredible as it is to think about, when you realize that a vintage class car ran withing 2 minutes of a purpose built car like famous RS200 ran it's pretty amazing. Even more amazing is realizing some were within 4 minutes of the world record. Unfortunately...
Interesting turn of events today... Keith Davidson in his #163 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint turned in better times than Doug Mockett and Mockett didn't run the last two runs. Wonder what's going on there? Hmmm.

Like everyone else I was wondering why no results had been posted so spoke to a friend at the PPIHC main office today and she told me the weather conditions had caused havoc with their WiFi score keeping system. Beause of that problem there seems to be some questions about the Vintage class qualifying times for day one. Here are the following qualifying times for Vintage class however they are posted...

I've run across a few of these little one-sided 7 inchers over the years. Usually they contain radio ads or PSAs. This one is especially entertaining. 4 different radio spots for the 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, done in a comical style that reminds me a bit of a Stan Freberg album. The voices sound familiar too. Anyone recognize them? MP3 File
Auto manufacturers frequently use animals as inspiration for names. While many can identify the cars by sight, do you think you can do the opposite and name the cars by seeing a picture of the animal inspiring the name? Try to be the first to match all twenty of these animals to the car that's named after them without checking out the answers. Only you'll know if you looked ahead and cheated. Good...
Anyone who has ever raced with Doug Mockett will say the same thing... A fierce adversary, super personality, very smart and someone you'd be proud to call your friend. The same can be said about Angelica Fuentes with one exception... She's far better looking than Doug. Doug and Angelica with 2008 overall winner Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima Doug and Angelica in his 1954 Oldsmobile Super88 are...
In Highwaymen , since the hit-and-run murder of his wife five years ago, Rennie Cray ( James Caviezel ) has travelled across America in his souped-up ’68 Plymouth Barracuda , pursuing her killer. The man he seeks in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse is James Fargo ( Colm Feore ), a wheelchair-bound psychopath. Through a series of mechanical innovations, Fargo has turned his rampaging ’72...
You have to go back to 1970 when at least three muscle cars were being sold at the same time, models which were also sometimes known as “pony cars.” The Ford Mustang, Pontiac Firebird, Chevy Camaro, AMC Javelin, Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda were among the cars that qualified for those h read more
x x Here in America, much of our pop culture has been centered around cars, travel and our love of the open road. Whether we fondly remember our classic hot rod from the fifties, our magic hippie bus from the sixties or those Starsky/Hutch muscle cars of the seventies each and every one of us has memories wrapped around the cars of our past. You'll notice that each of my illustrations above for the...
Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe candidate is named after a deep-water predator, but has a price that doesn't require deep pockets to buy. Yesterday, the Prostreet Pinto got favorable reviews from a slim 53% of you art lovers. However, many of you called into question the sellers assertion of street-ability. Today, we have a car that's road-ready, but which comes with a sad tale. This is a sale of...
