  • Jay Leno with the Callaway C21 AeroWagon

    Four years on since Callaway announced plans for its radical shooting brake conversion for the C7 Chevrolet Corvette, a completed example has dropped by the famous garage of Jay Leno. On hand to present it is Callaway founder Reeves Callaway and his son Peter. The conversion, which turns the Corvette into the Callaway C21 AeroWagon, is only available for the Corvette’s coupe body style and can be reversed should the owner desire. Carbon fiber is used for the panels while the rear piece is tempered safety glass that retains a defogger. Leno is quick to notice the factory-like finish of...

  • 1975 Ford Bronc Eleanor Tribute by Zero to 60
    Classic Ford Bronco pays homage to Eleanor Mustang

    Old Ford Broncos are supremely cool machines. The first generation Ford Mustang done up in Eleanor guise is also pretty darn awesome, no matter what your "Gone in 60 Seconds"-hating friends tell you. Could a mash-up of the two result in an equally fantastic beast? As it turns out, the answer is...

  • Mercedes-Benz 300TE wagon on a Unimog chassis
    Kneel before your Mercedes-Benz off-road wagon God

    For some, it may be considered blasphemy to do this to a Mercedes-Benz 300TE. That would be weird, though, because there isn't much special about the W124 wagon. It's a great machine, but it doesn't exactly tug at our heartstrings. The Unimog, however, does just that. So when you pair the 300TE...

  • 1932 Ford Hot Rod with Ferrari Power

    Ferrari and Ford have a few issues. It all stems from the world of motorsports, when the Blue Oval brand was eager to dethrone the Italian house of Enzo at Le Mans. Eventually, with the help of the world's most famous chicken farmer, Carroll Shelby, Ford took top honors at one of the world's greatest racing events. Some mad vehicular scientist has decided those two automakers need to get a bit more cozy. The result of that thought is an automotive mash-up we can bet you didn't see coming. What we get is a 1932 Ford that has received a number of upgrades. The most notable is the 3.0-liter...

  • G-Code Camaro stops by Jay Leno's Garage

    Mike and Jim Ring have their particular set of skills down pat. What they can do is take a classic muscle car and turn it into a one-off pro touring machine that isn't too over the top. That is, until you start digging a bit deeper into the design and engineering of a given project car. Then you realize there's so much more going on than first meets the eye. And when you get into the details on the powertrain, you realize you have a monster on your hands. This applies to the Wisconsin brothers' 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, otherwise known as the G-Code Camaro.
