  • Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter concept

    It wouldn't be the Jeep Moab Easter Safari without at least one restomod concept vehicle, and the M-175 Five Quarter concept carries on the tradition in an imposing manner. The M-175 Five Quarter concept, a nod to Jeep's past 1 1/4-ton pickups, is one of the six concepts Jeep produced for the 53rd annual Moab Easter Safari and one of the coolest. Aside from the J6 concept, which previews a potential production two-door Gladiator pickup truck, it's our favorite. But we digress. The restomod concept is based on an original 1968 Gladiator pickup produced for the U.S. military. Jeep entirely...

  • Oil Stain Lab Half11 project car Photo: Oil Stain Lab
    Porsche Half11 is sure to shock classic car purists

    The Porsche 911 is a dream car for many enthusiasts. Yet, a lot has been done with vintage 911s over the past decade that moves beyond what came from the factory, despite how purists may feel. Forget all that, though, because the Half11 is a 911 project like we've never seen. In a Thursday report...

  • 1970 Speedkore Dodge Charger Evolution

    It made its debut at the 2018 SEMA show and now SpeedKore Performance Group's Demon-powered, carbon fiber-bodied 1970 Dodge Charger has paid a visit to Jay Leno's Garage. And there to explain it all was SpeedKore boss Dave Salvaggio. You may remember him from his meetup with Leno for the custom 1967 Chevrolet Camaro gifted to Chris Evans by Robert Downey Jr. We learn that SpeedKore's latest car, known as the Evolution, may resemble a '70 Charger but actually uses a custom frame. The engine, of course, is the 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 from the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, though SpeedKore...

  • Ferrari 308 GTS with V-12 swap and Testarossa heads

Grassroots Motorsports forum user Mke detailed his lengthy battle to swap a V-12 engine into his Ferrari 308 GTS, which Road & Track reported this past January. It's not the first time someone has tried to stuff a V-12 into a 308, but this owner's journey is far more interesting and downright incredible. The V-12 came from a junked Ferrari 400i, which the owner thought would be interesting to fit with quad-valve heads from a Testarossa. Right away, he discovered the heads didn't...
