From time to time, a truck is built that comes together so perfectly that it is almost a piece of art rather than a form of transportation. Like a Hollywood starlet, these trucks cause jaws to drop, hearts to race, and palms to sweat. Scott Anderson of Denver, Colorado, wanted a truck that made people stop in their tracks and he knew the exact shop to do the work. Cope Design, also in Denver, took Scott’s 1951 Chevy pickup and transformed it into a rolling masterpiece. The first step in the build process was to scrap the factory frame. To replace this, a call was made to Roadster Shop and a full frame was ordered. The frame came with a Corvette C6 front clip and the guys at Cope added a set of Wilwood six-piston disc brakes to it. In the rear, a four-link with a Panhard bar offers a great ride, while another set of Wilwoods provide the stopping power. Enveloping the massive Wilwood brakes is an equally impressive set of Raceline Explosion 22×8½ and 22×12-inch wheels. Since the beautifu

Bentley GT We actually like the way this looks on the Bent. Nissan Skyline We don't know what's flashier, the New York skyline on a sunny August day or this Nissan. Ferrari F430 This is one of few times when two chrome vehicles ended up in the same place. How angry would you be showing up expecting to really stand out, only to have somebody else mirror your swag? Shelby GT500 Super Snake This Mustang is one of the least flashy on the list. Done up by Chrome and Carbon autos in Dubai, it has a less shiny look. That's probably why we like it better than half the others. Nissan GTR We found this 2009 vinyl chrome-wrapped Black Edition GTR on Jameslist. It was listed in Sheffield, U.K., but was sold. Already one of the fastest road cars available, this GTR will blind you with it's speed and its ridiculous exterior. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Arsenal Defender William Gallas paid $535,000 and Blackburn Rovers Striker Ello Hadji Diouf paid $642,000 for chromed SLR McLarens. We

Next year, Maserati developed the car into a more road-friendly version, A6G/54. Wheelbase was stretched to 2550 mm to give more interior space, along with (relatively) luxury interior. 60 chassis were built, and again, they were bodied by various coachbuilders in coupe and spider form. Most remarkable of them was the 20 units of coupe built by Zagato. Zagato once again applied its light-alloy know-how to build an all-aluminum body, keeping the whole car light at 840kg. For better road use, Maserati detuned the straight-six to (a still remarkable) 150hp. Top speed dropped to 130mph. The Zagato model was used extensively in motor racing and usually won its category. Nevertheless, the world rarely remember those not competing at the top league, so its fame did not match Ferrari 250GT SWB, or to lesser extent Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato.

There was no mistaking who held veto power over the competition: The Judge could be optioned with four engines in 1970, all big-bore Pontiac muscle. The standard engine, shared with the Grand Prix, Firebird and Trans Am, was Pontiac's 400-cu.in. V-8, which, with its 4.12 bore, 3.75 stroke and 10.25:1 compression ratio for manual-equipped transmissions (automatics had a 10.0:1 c.r.), made 350hp at 5,000 RPM and 445-ft.lbs. of torque at 3,000 RPM. The Ram Air III upgrade, with its D-port head, brought 10.5:1 compression, produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM and the same torque, but at a higher 3,600 RPM. The ultimate Pontiac V-8 was the 400-cu.in. Ram Air IV, which made 370hp at 5,500 RPM and 445-ft.lbs. at 3,900 RPM. Taking the leap to the High Output 455-cu.in. V-8 brought 10.25:1 compression and 360hp at 4,300 RPM, but even more torque, totaling 500-ft.lbs. at 3,100 RPM. This heavy-duty engine made its figures with or without Ram Air, in manual or automatic form. All The Judge V-8s used a

Many enthusiasts consider the “Goat” to be the first muscle car, and its classic split grill front-end design is among the most recognizable features of all muscle cars. Starting life as an option package for the 1963 Pontiac LeMans, the GTO became its own model series in 1966. Model year 1967 was the last year of this first-generation look with the stacked headlight design, and is showcased here. Standard equipment included bucket seats, a walnut-grained dash panel, duel exhaust, and a beefy suspension. A look under the hood found a bigger 400 cid motor than the prior year’s 389. Pontiac also went from a tri-power (three 2bbls) carb setup to a single 4bbl for the 1967 edition. The top performance option in 1967 was the 400 HO, rated at 360 hp at 5,100 rpm. Adding the Ram Air induction option slightly increased peak rpm. These GTOs typycally ran the quarter-mile in the low 14s. Almost 82,000 GTOs were sold in 1967, 13,872 of which had the 400 HO, with Ram Air installed in only 751 of t

1970 was the pinnacle of performance from Oldsmobile. In order to keep up in the horsepower arms-race, General Motors dropped the cap on engine size in 1970, and Oldsmobile responded by making the Olds 455 V8 the standard 442 engine. Magazine ads using an offbeat mad scientist trumpeted "Dr. Olds introduces as large a V-8 as ever bolted into a special-performance production automobile!" Output was 365 hp (272 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m), with a 370 hp (276 kW) variant available with the W30 option. The revised body style and increased performance resulted in the 442 being awarded pace car duties at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970. Motor Trend praised the 442, stating that "it's probably the most identifiable super car in the GM house". Those seeking to experience the ultimate in performance from Lansing could order a "W-Machine" version of the 442, dubbed the W-30 package. The 442 W-30 added a fiberglass hood (option W25) with functional air scoops a

Plymouth Baracuda was a two-door compact/midsize car manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 through 1974. The 1970 Hemi Cuda is now one of the most sought-after Classic Muscle Cars. Hemi ’Cuda production was limited: 652 coupes were built in 1970, dropping to just 108 in 1971. Convertible production numbers approach those of some classic European sports cars, with 14 droptop Hemi ’Cudas built in 1970 and only seven in 1971. The Barracuda’s hystory started in 1964 with a bizarre styling, a huge back window, and a small 273 cubic-inch V-8 engine as its maximum performance package. In 1968 it was built a super light Barracuda with the high-compression "race" version of the 426 Hemi engine. The styling changed radically 50 of these cars have been built. The only problem was that this cars was that where not street legal. They had no safety equipment for street use and no exhaust systems.

The new car attracted rave reviews from the press and huge public attention. Cadillac started production of the new car immediately. January production averaged a couple of cars per day, but was then ramped up to twenty-two cars per day. By April, 1,000 units had been built, and by June, 2,000 cars. These could be ordered with a wide variety of bodywork. The Fleetwood catalog for the 1930 V-16 included 10 basic body styles; there was also an envelope containing some 30 additional designer's drawings. Research by the Cadillac-La Salle Club, Inc. puts at 70 the number of different job/style numbers built by Fisher and Fleetwood on the sixteen chassis.Beginning in June 1930, five new V-16s participated in a promotional tour of major European cities including Paris, Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin, Cologne, Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Nuremberg, Vienna (where they won prizes), Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Zürich, Madrid, San Sebastian, La Baule

When postwar automobile production resumed in the 1946 model year, chrome was more sparingly applied, swept-back fenders were fitted to sedans as well as coupes, and a war-inspired "bombsight" hood ornament was adopted. The instrument panel was two-toned with woodgrains except on convertibles which used body colored panels. Series identification was found on cloisonne emblems centered in the bumper guard front and rear. Compound Carburetion was eliminated and the compression ratio was reduced to 6.60:1. As a consequence the 1946 Roadmaster's horsepower fell from 165 to 144. Torque on the other hand was hardly affected. Nevertheless, Roadmaster’s I-8 still produced more horsepower than a top of the line Chrysler's. Prices, due to wartime inflation, were substantially higher. But the biggest change was in sales proportions. Roadmaster increased its share of Buick sales from four percent in 1941 to 20 percent in 1946, with a total of about 31,400 sold. In 1947 a new stam

he 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was the first car from Chevrolet that narrowed down the gap between racing and production cars. It has the closest and most striking connections with the Corvette racing cars. With the introduction of the 2009 Corvette ZR1, the gap was further narrowed down. Now, Chevrolet is further continuing this tradition with the advent of the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition.The special edition vehicle is a tribute to Corvette’s first race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Only 500 of these editions will be built. The car integrates the 7.0-liter LS7 V-8 from the Z06 with the suspension and brake package of the ZR1. The power capability of the Z06 remains unchanged, with a maximum power of 505 horsepower. The most important addition to the Z06 lineup is the set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. Other modifications include Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, Magnetic Selective Ride Control active suspension and a range of carbon fiber accessories. Chevrolet is

Long before the invention of cement, medieval architects and builders of castles were required to clear and level boulders, trees, and earth from mountain sides and bogs to provide a solid foundation. Many of these massive fortifications remain in place today as a testament to their engineers’ genius and efforts. The foundation is the basis on which everything is based and supported. When it comes to David Brown’s exceptional ’67 Barracuda fastback, his foundation wasn’t a platform forged from hewn stone or iron scaffolding, but a ’66 cast-iron Hemi block pried from the hands of a close friend and fellow Mopar enthusiast, Albert Bembe. With the engine block, though bare, David was able to begin blueprinting plans for a Super Stock clone. A dyed-in-the-wool fan of the factory ’68 SS/A Darts and Barracudas, David laid out a strategy of attack. The Edgewater, Maryland, native found a ’67 fastback A-Body in Virginia in pitiful shape, but the $500 purchase price included all the factory gla

Year(s): 1968 A four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual, and two exhausts = 4-4-2. Easy to identify and hard to catch up with, the 442 packed a big ol’ Olds 455 V8—underrated at 360-370hp (410-420 hp was more likely). Add those big hood scoops to the front and you’ll have one of the world’s most recognizable muscle cars.

The police forces are needed fast and powerful cars in order to keep pace with motorized offenders. The selection of these vehicles varies from state to state, and police patrol cars purchased in accordance to their needs and budget that they have available.Dubai is one of the few places in the world where there is no problem with the lack of money for the purchase of police cars. While the police in the UK testing electrical Vauxhall/Opel Ampera and the police in Romania Dacia Logan 0.9 liter, the Dubai police just added to their fleet one of the fastest cars in the world. They purchased the new Lamborghini Aventador. It is assumed that this is the most expensive police car in the world. When they indulged in the chase for drivers who break the law, police officers will be driving the car that has a normally aspirated V12 engine under the hood with 700 hp. Aventador to 60 mph arrives in 2.9 seconds, while its top speed is 270mph. Although we’ve seen similar cars in police use such as
