The term "rat rod" never really had a specific definition - with many people thinking they can just add some patina or flat black to an old car and have a rat rod. We'll never know exactly what a rat rod is, but the car youre about to see is the machine that all so-called rat rods should strive to be. Whether it's a "rat rod"

The SCCA World Challenge series has one of the most diverse grids in motorsports, with everything from Aston Martins and Vipers, to Civics and Scions competing in the series' three different classes. Without a doubt, two of the most unique cars in the series are a pair of Volvo S60 AWD's campaigned by K-Pax Racing. We first spotted these cars

Boy do I love being a Speedhunter. Where else can I be writing about American LeMans series one moment, and writing about a '57 Chevy from hell the next moment. I spotted this beast at Viva Las Vegas earlier this month, and just knew it deserved a spotlight here. The '57 Chevy is known as one the quintessential American classics, and is a favorite

When Audi released the second generation TT a few years ago, the car's styling won over many who weren't sold on the first generation car. With just a drop and a set of wheels, the new TT could be transformed into something special, and that's just what Christophe Waterplas of Belgium has done with his '07 TT 2.0 turbo. After starting

A Speedhunters reader by the name of Kevin sent us an email sharing a radical BMW build he found. Based here in the US, this 1988 M5 is one of the most thorough privateer track cars I've ever seen. Weighing at a scant 2,500 lbs thanks to lots weight shaving and carbon parts, this E28 is track-only car that sees action in regional SCCA and BMW club

As I walked through the pits at the March Meet last weekend passing drag cars of all shapes and sizes, I spotted an absolute monster of a vehicle. Was that an old school ambulance? Indeed it was. From the time when they were made from fullsize passenger cars and not from vans. And it wasn't just any old ambulance, but one of the fastest in the world

Last year at the SEMA show, the Ring Brothers debuted their latest project - a '64 Ford Fairlane two-door sedan known as the Afterburner. The car would end up winning Ford's "Best of Show" award at SEMA, and every time I walked by, the Fairlane was literally swarmed with people. So much for getting any usable photos... So when I spotted

It's not too often that we post cars from Ebay here, but I'm going to make an exception. The other day my dad and I were checking out some of the old station wagons up for sale on the site when we came across this '65 Plymouth Belvedere Wagon gasser. The moment I saw the car, I knew I had to share it here. A gasser station wagon? It's

The Volkswagen Beetle is anything but a misfit or maverick. In fact. it's more automotive phenomenon than automotive misfit. This particular Beetle though, is built and driven in a way that makes it as unique as any car out there. We're talking high horsepower, dialed-in suspension, wide wheels, and an overall vibe you'd expect from a Porsche

As you might have heard, a love for old Pontiacs is something that sort of runs in my blood. I can't even begin to count the number of classic Ponchos my dad owned when I was a kid. However, unlike a lot of brand devotees out there, I'm far for a purist when it comes to these, or any other type of car. That may be the reason why I think this
