FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT: kbb.com Ever since Mercedes-Benz introduced the CLS in 2005, other car makers have rushed to a similarly stylish four-door coupe to their lineups. In the case of Volkswagen the CC fits the bill, with a highly stylized exterior, coupe-like silhouette and, of course, four doors.

1970 Buick GSX “The Hemi Killer”

By , January 20, 2012 4:10 pm

Here is the Holy Grail of the GM/Buick Musclecars and is better known as the Hemi killer. Truly one of the fastest, and rarest, musclecars of all time. Meet the beautiful 1970 Buick GSX Stage I. Largest torque rating of all 1970 cars at 510 lb/ft and a grossly underrated horsepower of 360. These cars were scary fast right off the showroom floor and few cars of the era came close to them at the strip. This desirable Saturn Yellow example has been restored from the ground up and is in period-correct, pristine condition. It has been restored according to factory specs and is currently optioned just like it was in 1970. Full numbers-matching drivetrain. This car also has won the Buick Nationals on several occasions and has done so as recently as 2007. It is unbelievably documented. We’re talking Protecto-Plate, Original Framed Sales Invoice, build sheet, and a broadcast sheet that was found under the carpet. Also comes with all the original dealer paperwork and a lot of ownership history. A true southerner, it was sold new in Atlanta, GA on May 12, 1970. The buyer traded in a 1969 Buick Riviera and drove out in this musclecar legend. Only around 400 GSX Stage I’s were ever produced. Own a piece of American history. They don’t build them like this anymore! For more details call us at toll free (866)542-8392 or (704)598-2130.

This vehicle started life as a light blue, 1975 Ford Gran Torino with a dark blue interior, bench seat, column shift, a dark blue vinyl top and those adorable opera windows (when I hear the fat lady singing I’ll finally understand why they put those on cars!). There are still some things on the interior that I hope to replace, and eventually I want to pull the motor, rebuild it, and then paint and detail the engine compartment to like-new quality. My big dream though, is to someday convert it to rack-and-pinion steering for that late-model feel. I’ve heard it’s been done on older Torino’s but I’m not sure if it’s possible to do on a ’75. If anyone can point me to products or performance shops that might be able to handle such a job, please let me know! But the best thing about this car isn’t driving it (although that IS fun!). The biggest kick is the joy you bring to people’s faces when they see the car. I remember one 7-year-old boy in particular who was in a car driving past me. His face lit up like he’d seen the bestest, coolest thing in the whole wide world! That look on his face and the obvious thrill he got from seeing it is what I love most about this car. Seeing that expression on his face was awesome! :-) The car has 15″ on the rear and 14″ on the front. You can still get them at AKH Wheels. If you want, I can get you the tire sizes too, just let me know. The stripe was hand laid using a bunch of photos from the TV show and movie. It’s the most important element

2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake STK # 1109 *SOLD*

By , January 13, 2012 9:12 pm

One of the first released to the public! Extremely limited production 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake with 750HP! This is CSM# 0029 and is the first and only Super Snake to be produced in eye-catching Grabber Blue. Started life as a fully loaded GT500 with navigation, HID headlights, and deluxe interior with ambient lighting package. The car was broken in for 3124 miles before being sent to Shelby American in Las Vegas to become a 750HP Super Snake. This car only has 2 miles on it since returning from Shelby and it’s in showroom new condition. The amazing 750HP from the 5.4L mod motor is achieved via a Shelby/Kenne Bell supercharger, JBA exhaust system and other special tweaks along with Shelby dyno tuning. Then Shelby upgrades the already-capable GT500 suspension and fits each car with Baer six piston brakes with cross drilled/vented rotors. Shelby designed 20 Inch Alcoa wheels give the car an awesome look along with a unique Shelby fiberglass hood, special stripes, and embroidered headrests in the interior. Each car is entered into the Shelby registry as these cars will be collectors for years to some. The Super Snake represents the pinnacle of modern Ford/Shelby performance. Simply the fastest, best-looking, most collectible Mustang that has been produced yet. All window stickers/Shelby American documentation is included in the sale. For more details or to purchase please call us at 704-598-2130 or e-mail sales@streetsideclassics.com Collector financing is available on

Wenn den Ford Mustang früher eine Cobra zierte, dann trug er den Vornamen Shelby und konnte vor Kraft kaum laufen. Nun gibt es ihn wieder, den Mustang namens Shelby GT 500 – die heißeste Nummer im Ford-Konzern.
