This award winning, magazine featured 1970 Plymouth Hemicuda continues our tradition of presenting you, the serious collector, with top notch investment cars. Assembled at Chrysler's Hamtramck, Michigan manufacturing facility on November 9th of 1969 and delivered to Holiday Chrysler-Plymouth in Austin, Minnesota, this spectacular Hemi Cuda is the beneficiary of a frame-off, reference grade restoration which was conducted by well-known Mopar guru Roger Gibson. That restoration, which took roughly three years to complete, utilized many NOS parts to return the car back to a 100% showroom fresh state; and in fact, its details are so accurate that it was featured, along with Roger Gibson's concours level work, in a three part Mopar Muscle tech article which is included with the sale. Under the green shaker hood, Roger Gibson's work was carried out to the highest standards using correct factory build techniques, date coded components and the car's original 426 cubic inch Hemi V8.

This lights-out 1955 Chevrolet 210 combines a fire-breathing 502 big block, with substantial suspension upgrades, a custom leather interior and stunning exterior paint to create a killer combination of style and all-out performance! Go ahead and spend a few minutes studying the body on this awesome 1955 210 coupe and see if you can pick out all its detail. For starters, you'll see near-flawless prep and careful assembly from every angle. Next you'll find an expertly applied paint job which uses vivid Burnt Orange and smooth Cameo Beige urethane to stellar effect by duplicating the car's factory two-tone pattern. And last but certainly not least you'll discover crisp finishing work, like razor-sharp eyebrows that stretch over its front fenders and tight beads at the edges of those fenders, which provide the kind of solid presence that's only found on carefully crafted old school metal. By now it's probably pretty obvious this Chevy 210 was built to be seen; but thanks to the 502...

If you're looking for some vintage metal that's stylish, powerful and has a lot of history, who says you have to buy a cramped, high maintenance muscle car? This awesome Galaxie 500 will look just as cool rolling down the road, turn just as many heads at the local drive in and, thanks to a thorough shakedown by our RK Motors Charlotte service department, is ready to provide you with miles of carefree cruising! Assembled at Ford's Chicago, Illinois manufacturing facility in May of 1970, this pristine Ford Galaxie 500 survivor was originally shipped to Paul Heuring Motors in Hobart, Indiana and sold to Ray Eggers of nearby Valparaiso, Indiana. Since that sunny summer day 42 years ago, it has led a pampered three owner life that, judging by its mostly original Green Metallic paint, was free of exposure to inclement weather, significant wet road driving and long-term outside storage. Today, the car is in overall outstanding condition displaying a glossy finish that is characterized by...

Envisioned by its owner as the perfect mix of classic muscle car attitude and first class modern performance, this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is one of the finest Mopar pro-tourers we've ever featured! This Road Runner's complete rotisserie restoration began when Steve Koepke of Classic Ventures in Woodstock, Illinois meticulously stripped its solid original body, welded up a set of high quality quarters and block sanded every one of its facets until he had a smooth, consistent canvas. Once that canvas was fully prepped from top to bottom, a slick coat of Charcoal Gray urethane was expertly applied under bright red, horizontal pin stripes and buffed to the kind of brilliant wet-look shine that can only be achieved with today's advanced paint technology. The result is one super slick Mopar muscle car which wraps brutal performance in killer good looks! Raise the wide, Charcoal hood and you'll find a killer 500 cubic inch monster block which takes this Mopar from 'very appealing' to...

Richard Childress Racing Street Performance partnered with General Motors to create RC1 Camaros to pay homage to legendary racer, Dale Earnhardt. The latest rendition of the RC1 series came just one model year after the Camaro beat all odds and made a successful comeback following its deletion in 2002. This 2011 Camaro SS/RC1 is based on the 2011 Camaro SS, but features much more than any normal SS on the market. It not only features a stylish design, but it also packs a mean bite under the hood. This particular 2011 Camaro SS/RC1 was not offered to the public, but instead Richard Childress Racing (RCR) built several of the RC1 Camaros and shipped them straight to RK Motors Charlotte. The RC1 is the first of the series and the least powerful of the three. Of course, being the least powerful of the RC-series is not saying much, as the top-end RC3 pumps out a concrete pummeling 750 horsepower. The best thing is that this special edition Chevy Camaro is in a price range that a working...

If you're one of the growing number of enthusiasts who's ready for a really well done Yenko tribute that's ready to rock, this '69 Camaro is exactly what you've been waiting for! Beginning life as an authentic X44 striper which was covered in a tepid coat of GM code 65 Olympic Gold lacquer, this awesome F1 Camaro recently underwent a complete frame-off restoration that rebuilt or replaced every one of its parts. The car presently wears a slick coat of GM code 10 Tuxedo Black urethane that's accented by fresh white Yenko decals; and when you take one look down its sinister panels, you'll understand why virtually NO ONE misses its bland, original pigment. Lift this well-done Yenko tribute's glossy black hood and you'll find a 454 cubic inch monster block which has been cleverly disguised to fool all but the most enlightened bowtie fans. At the top of the engine, air flows from a correct open element air cleaner which is adorned with a new 427 cross-flag decal, into a big Holley...

Painstakingly restored to showroom fresh condition, this 1968 GTO convertible is a pure bred muscle car that wraps a numbers matching drivetrain and a ton open air style in correct Verdoro exterior paint that proves exactly why green is the color of envy! Assembled in Fremont California and originally delivered to Hockett Auto Sales in Grass Valley, California this broad shouldered GTO has traveled to virtually every corner of the country with previous owners living anywhere from Arizona and Illinois to Florida and Ohio. When the current owner took possession of the car, he financed a multi-year frame off restoration which amounted to just over $40K, bringing his total investment dangerously close to the six figure range. In typical Pontiac fashion, this GTO's correct GM code Q paint is one of its most striking virtues; and while the gold metal flake in original coats of Verdoro Green was almost ALWAYS dull, this car's fresh two-stage urethane sparkles like liquid sunshine.

The F-Series is Ford's longest-running bestselling nameplate. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that trucks like this frame-off built 1955 Ford F100 are commanding serious attention in the collector market place. With killer paint, a stout small block and a great custom interior, this truck checks off all the right boxes while offering tremendous value. The paintwork is a stunning combination of gloss black and Laser Blue Metallic. Separating those colors is a silver and gray graphic outlined by a hand painted orange stripe. At the nose, a purple overlay shows like a reflection. From a distance, details found in the door and tailgate graphic appear three dimensional -- a testament to the quality of work at hand. Wrapping entirely around the cab, bed and even into the door jambs, the custom paint work on this '55 is thorough and shows well from any angle. Unlike many custom trucks, this F100 retains its stock profile. Only a handful of tasteful modifications have been...

Maybe it's just me, but when I first laid eyes on this killer '67 Cobra I couldn't help but think that its Lincoln Black paint and glossy pewter stripes speak a little more highly of its monstrous performance credentials than some traditional, yet tired, blue and white or red and white paint scheme. You see, virtually every part of this roadster is immaculate and EVERYTHING about its build has been highly planned and brilliantly executed; therefore, a predictably 'vintage' paint job, as cool as those are, simply wouldn't do the car justice. A simple one armed lift of the light fiberglass hood reveals a freshly honed and decked 509 cubic inch aluminum Donovan V8 which utilizes a 4.500 bore and a 4.000 stroke to turn stout 11 to 1 compression into a dyno proven 597 horsepower and 672 lb./ft. of torque! At the top of that killer engine, air from a chrome K&N X-Stream Airflow air filter mixes with 93 octane pump gas that's supplied by an 830 cfm Barry Grant double pumper 4-barrel...

For the better part of two decades, Precision Preparation, Inc. (PPI) and 2006 Off-Road Hall of Fame inductee Ivan "Ironman" Stewart were a nearly unbeatable force in the highly competitive world of off-road racing. Together, they claimed 88 victories including numerous Baja 500's and even one Baja 1000. That win, along with four Baja 500's were accomplished using chassis number 015. Built in 1993 to replace the successful but aging 010 chassis, the 015 would become the Master's thesis and, ultimately, final product of a remarkably successful off-road team. RK Motors Charlotte is proud to offer the unique experience of owning this incredible piece of motorsports history. Fresh out of an extensive restoration performed by many of the same hands that originally built it, there is no finer or more significant example of an off-road racer on the market. At the core of this truck is a Lexus-derived aluminum 302 cubic inch V8. Like the Lexus engine, the race version retains a...

With the universal appeal of some of the best parking lot eye candy in our showroom and the road going prowess of a late model sports car, this slick 1934 Ford Coupe is one of the best road ready hot rods your money can buy! Its build started when a clean, all steel body was bolted between a fresh set of fiberglass fenders and running boards. Once that body was completely solid, and those fiberglass components were completely smooth, the entire package was fully disassembled and professionally prepped for paint. Then, in the name of great looks and universal appeal, a top notch coat of bright red urethane was meticulously applied, sealed in a glossy clearcoat shell and buffed to an incredible shine. The result is one fine looking street rod which displays nary a ripple or misaligned panel anywhere, presents a finish that glistens like glass, and possesses just enough authenticity to satisfy both the most skeptical old school hot rod fan and the harshest scoring judge. Built for...

As one of only 46 4-speed Ram Air IV Trans Ams produced for the 1969 model year, this fully restored, 51445 mile time capsule features all original west coast sheetmetal, a complete numbers matching drivetrain, a highly original interior and full documentation that dates all the way back to the its dealership checklist. According to the Pontiac Historical Services documentation included with the sale of this badass tin indian pony car, it was assembled at GM's Norwood Ohio manufacturing facility in June of 1969 and shipped to Bud Meadows Pontiac in Seattle, Washington on July 21st of that same year. After serving as top-notch showroom eye candy for exactly two months, its papers were signed by Seattle resident Carlos Palencia and it began a 36 year run as an immaculately maintained, one owner west coast muscle car. When the second and current owner, an avid Firebird collector, took its keys in the summer of 2005, he inherited a 95% complete survivor that was probably one of the most...

Hitting the desert roads as a run of the mill fastback and then spending 25 years of its life in carefully guarded dry storage, this solid '65 Mustang would prove the perfect starting point for a top notch Shelby GT350-H conversion. Its rotisserie restoration began with hours spent massaging its solid panels into a completely wave-free and arrow straight canvas. Once that intense labor and high quality detail work resulted in excellent fit and finish, a smooth and glossy coat of black RM urethane was adorned with Metallic gold stripes, sealed in a durable Diamont clearcoat shell, and accented with correctly stenciled "GT 350 H" side stripes. Pull the pins on the car's solid steel hood and you'll find a 302 cubic inch Ford V8 which has been rebuilt, beefed up and bathed in a slick coat of...

During a recent build, this killer Camaro's clean vintage steel was restored to better than factory standards and displays no dents, dings or waves anywhere.

With a solid body, strong original drivetrain and comfortable cloth interior, this 1969 Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best and most unique collector cars your $15K can buy! Sporting a slick coat of era correct Cloud White paint, this fully sorted and completely road ready Beetle recently benefitted from a frame up restoration which likely cost close to what we're asking for the car itself. And while its body isn't concours perfect, it is super straight and carries a spectacular shine that will look excellent motoring down the road to a VW show or your favorite local hang-out.
