Car Features

Vuil Van Zyl has had his fair share of Muscle cars over the years. I have always had a soft spot for vintage cars and one cannot argue with the smooth lines of classic cars. They just dont build them the way they used to. The cars of today have no soul. Take a look at the rear of a car for argument’s sake hips for days and days. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of thought put into the cars designed today.

JIMNY STANDARD TYRE SIZE

Velocity Modern Classics, an industry leader in classic vehicle modernization, has just announced its new line of classic Chevy K5 Blazers. Built to the same high standards as Velocity’s classic Bronco and F-series truck lines, the new 1969-72 Velocity K5 Blazers have been reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up as turnkey drivers. They feature beautifully-restored bodies paired with V8 engines and modern drivetrains. The K5s also come equipped with handcrafted custom interiors and plenty of modern creature comforts.

According to Nissan, the idea for the R32 EV came from an engineer who joined the company out of admiration for the original model. He reportedly said, “I want to build a more exciting car by adding the latest electrification technology that I am involved with to my favorite car.” This electric show car could feature Nissan's dual-motor setup, which powers the Ariya and could be a fitting choice for the GT-R.

A year later Mark came across a great deal on a rusted-out cab with parts included from the US. He saw this as an opportunity to build up his dream Chevy from scratch. My son Devon and I decided to make this a passion project from the engine to the colour. Our first idea steered towards a rusted-out sleeper, which would be used as an everyday car, without fussing over it too much.However, after it came back from sandblasting, it was in much better condition than anticipated. Therefore it made us change our mind to produce a show-quality retro truck.

Meet Ken Imhoff, the man with an incredible piece of art that he built with his bare hands. After watching Cannonball Run, he fell in love with the Lamborghini Countach so much that he knew he had to have one. Affording it was another matter though, so he decided he would make his own.

AC Cars, Britains oldest active vehicle manufacturer having been in business since 1901, will fully unveil its stunning new model, the AC Cobra GT Roadster, this April with the first customers then given the opportunity to see the car for themselves at exclusive spring and summer preview events in Europe.

The restomod build features a Hellcat V8 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission wrapped in 4,000 build hours of custom modifications with this Ringbrothers Custom 1969 Dodge charger.

We love the look of this Velocity Signature Series 1969 Ford Bronco with its custom BASF Glasurit Meadowlark Yellow paint and Ranger Edition Package.
