Clyde’s Journey Building a Killer ‘68 Mustang GT
From the start, Clyde had a crystal-clear vision for this Mustang. No shortcuts, no compromises. He wasn’t about sourcing local parts off the shelf — he took the hunt seriously, scouring eBay to cherry-pick every component, including the car itself. For him, the thrill of the chase was as much part of the build as the final drive.
Restomod Royalty AAM 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Build
Builder: All American Muscle (Pty) Ltd
Location: Pretoria
Vehicle: 1968 Plymouth Barracuda
Originally bought by Drikus back in 2012 as a personal project, fate intervened in early 2013 when another '68 Cuda crossed his path. That opened the door for Piet to take the reins of the current build, and what followed was a meticulous four-year, after-hours father-son project that would create not only a stunning restomod, but a family legacy.
Swedish Steel, South African Soul 1970 Volvo 122
The first time I spotted Naeem’s Amazon was at a Classic and Hot Rod show on the West Rand. Among the thundering V8s and glistening chrome, it stood out — not because it tried to, but because it didn’t have to. Everything about the build felt measured and mature. There were no gimmicks, no wild wings or overdone mods — just pure style. The Volvo’s original lines were respected, refined, and subtly sharpened.
SpeedKore's Carbon-Fiber Charger Shakes the Foundations of American Muscle
1936 Cord 810 Westchester Ray Extons Resto Rod Rarity
Yep. It is.
And not just any Cord — one of the most groundbreaking, jaw-dropping, ahead-of-its-time machines ever to roll off American soil. Designed by Gordon Buehrig and launched by the Auburn Automobile Company at the 1935 New York Auto Show, the 810 Cord landed like a UFO in a world of boxy sedans. It was that far ahead of the curve.
A 1948 Chevy Street Rod With A Story To Tell
Chevy’s 1948-1953 Series 3100 half-ton pickups are among the most iconic trucks ever built. These bull-nosed beauties ushered in a post-war redesign that set the standard for comfort and convenience. Wider doors, an expanded cab, and a newly introduced adjustable bench seat made these trucks more user-friendly than their predecessors. Under the hood, the early models came with a 216.5-cid six-cylinder engine, but by 1950, Chevy had upped the ante with the “105 Hi-Torque” 235.5-cid powerplant.
A Vision in Yellow 1971 De Tomaso Pantera ADRNLN
But dreams don’t die that easily.
Determined to honor her late husband’s passion, Cheryl Brickl vowed to see the Pantera fully restored. She took it to a local shop, hoping to bring Randy’s vision to life. A year later, the car still sat untouched. That’s when a friend pointed her toward Ringbrothers, the legendary Wisconsin-based custom builders known for their boundary-pushing craftsmanship. With a reputation for turning muscle car fantasies into reality, Jim and Mike Ring were the perfect duo for the job.

The Blue Bullet A Chevrolet Impala’s Ultimate Transformation
The Resurrection Begins
Finding a ’61 bubble top isn’t easy, especially in South Africa, where only a handful exist. That’s why this one was sourced off eBay, plucked from the dry Southwest, and shipped straight to Tim’s workshop in Arizona. The goal? A ground-up nut-and-bolt restoration, blending classic American style with modern muscle and precision engineering.
