Playing with Cars - Danbury Mint’s “Little Deuce Coupe” & “Grabowski T” 11/9/2009 Here’s another great episode of Playing with Cars. Joe Kelly Jr. says that Danbury Mint created a “dead-on replica” with the Little Deuce Coupe. With its reverse chrome wheels, baby blue carpeting, and “impressive” external engine, it is “nothing short of amazing.” His review tells the tale of how the car itself came to be, and what Danbury Mint included on this replica to make it so accurate. Also included in this episode is a review of Danbury Mint’s Grabowski T, which was the car of Edd Byrnes’s character, Kookie, from 77 Sunset Strip. It has a scaled model of the bloody scull Grabowski carved and painted on the shift handle, “perfectly replicated” flames, and a removeable uptop. Watch this review to see what Joe says is “the best-looking live axel rear end ever hung under a street rod.” As always, you can count on Playing with Cars to be a great resource and fun to watch.

8 Customized 2010 Ford Mustangs Premiering at SEMA 11/2/2009 This week at the annual SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show held in Las Vegas, Ford will unveil a multitude of custom version 2010 Mustangs. The automaker recently launched the 2010 Mustang Customizer at www.the2010Mustang.com. It has received an overwhelming response from the public and if you haven’t tried it, it really is a lot of fun! You can choose from a variety of hoods, scoops, spoilers, grilles, wheels and even choose the size of your burnout. In just two months, more than 1 million custom Mustangs have been built on the site. The response prompted Ford to get together with a few customizers such as 3dCarbon, Steeda Autosports, Paul’s High Performance, Vaughn Gitten Jr, Galpin Auto Sports, Street Scene Equipment, H&R Special Springs and Ford Vehicle Personalization group to customize 8 rides. All project Mustangs at the show will look dramatically different since self expression is what the brand is all about. Mustang is the most customized car in the $31.8 billion aftermarket industry.

Classics going Green 10/30/2009 What if a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS could be restored from a normal classic into a custom 800 hp biodiesel with eco-friendly interior? No way, you say? We liked the concept so much we went in search of it ourselves. Check out the details and other examples of old cars (some classics, some not) “going green”. http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/10/20/top-5-pimped-out-eco-rides/ Link to this post Comments (0)
