Street Legal TV

Is it possible for car guys to get enough car movies? Never! We recently received press notice that yet another muscle car movie will soon hit the screens, only this one has been done in a complete 1970′s throwback style and stars Amer Smith and a ’71 Road Runner!

With the recent $110,000 sale of the first General Lee at the Barrett-Jackson auction last week it’s no wonder that other General Lee’s are popping up everywhere for sale as well. We recently spotted this General over on eBay for $150,000, only this one is owned by Byron Cherry, Coy Duke himself!

What does it take to get a stock ’69 Charger R/T to handle like a modern day go-kart? Just two beefy sway bars from Hellwig!

We recently stumbled upon some footage from the old ’80′s motorcycle themed TV show Street Hawk, and it would appear that a former General Lee was driven by none other than a young George Clooney!

We recently spotted word from our friends at Autoblog that Chrysler will reveal at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that they’re integrating the 10-speaker Beats™ audio system by Dr. Dre™ into the new 2012 Charger!

As children of the ’80′s it’s hard for us to still not become giddy at the thought of driving and owning a real movie car, and perhaps this Back To The Future clone will be just our ticket!

And now for something completely different… If you’ve been waiting for the day to read about an LS-powered ’78 Pinto Wagon that has received the full Pro Touring treatment, wait no further!

We recently saw this post over on Hooniverse by a gentleman who was nominating his ’64 Corvair 700 Sedan to be their car of the year, and we’ll be the first to admit that he makes a completely compelling case.

You know that “MacGyver” car buddy that you have, the one who can whittle tires out of oak trees and smelts glass for his home-made headlights? Well, how about someone who can make a ’67 Barracuda console out of cardboard?

We found this black ’69 on eBay recently and it’s far more than just a Charger with the Pro Touring treatment; it’s more like a Gen 3 Viper with a ’69 Charger body wrapped around it!

They say that the only well to tell the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys, and after watching this 426MPH run by George Poteet at Bonneville we’d tend to agree!

Our pals over at Bangshift spotted this unique ’68 Fairlane for sale recently, and the most interesting thing they noted about it was that while several of the interesting features about it were listed prominently in it’s sales pitch, one specific feature was not. We’ll let you guess. Hint: It’s the wing!

If there were ever a battle for the most famous Camaro ever, we’d bet that it just might be Stacy Tucker’s blue ’69. Unfortunately, the ’69 took some battle damage a few weeks before SEMA, but after just 5 weeks the DSE crew had it back together and ready for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational!

Many people credit the great Mark Stielow with starting the Pro-Touring movement back in the 1990′s, but we’re betting he never thought it would become what it has today.

They say that history tends to repeat itself, and here’s further proof. Exactly 40 years later to the day a second K&K Daytona ran past the 200 MPH barrier at Bonneville, only this time the car was a ’71 and was driven by husband and wife team Gary and Pam Bieneke!

The SEMA Action Network (SAN) recently sent us an alert regarding the preservation of the Bonneville Salt Flats, and it’s one we wanted to alert our readers to immediately. In 1946 the racing area’s salt depth was at least 5 feet; it is now only a few inches thick!

We love classic car commercials almost as much as the old Bud Lindemann car review videos. This commercial is a vintage beauty of a new 1971 Mercury Montego being compared to an undisclosed “1959 Car!”
