Episode #8 of Randy Grubb's Garage

Randy Grubb has been ranked among the top 15 U.S. fabricators by Hot Rod. He built Jay Leno's Tank Car, the Indy Special, the B-702, Piss'd Off Pete, the DecoLiner, the DecoPods, and the body for the Bob Maddox Pulse Jet Lakester.

Then Grubb got a call from his English pal, Tim "The Frogman" Cotterill, famous for his bronze sculptures of frogs, hawks, and owls. The Frog had designed a powerful, ultra-sleek machine with animal-like qualities that he called the Rocket 3. "It combines my love of choppers, trikes, hot rods, and dragsters," Frog said, and then he asked Randy to team up with
him to build it.

Earlier, the Frogman had built the Rocket 1, a trike he made famous in England. Next, after he moved to Venice, California, Frog built the muscular 1,000 horsepower blown Hemi Rocket 2. This monster does 0-100 in less than 5 seconds with a
top end of 200!

From mind to metal, now you can witness Randy' Grubb's complete build of Cotterill's Rocket 3. Its rear suspension is beautiful, cool, and crazy; it flexes just like a big cat on the run. And with its 430 horsepower Corvette engine, the Rocket 3 will scram, doing 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

AEROMOBIL 3.0

"Mark my word: A combination airplane and motorcar

is coming.  You may smile, but it will come."

Henry Ford , 1940

Article Courtesy Katie Collins - Autopia - Wired.CO.UK 

The world's most advanced flying car, AeroMobil 3.0, was unveiled today at Pioneers Festival in Vienna. WIRED first got its eyes on an AeroMobil prototype only a few months ago, at which point the unveiling the 3.0 model was slated for next year. But ahead of schedule, WIRED.co.uk has now seen AeroMobil 3.0 in person, which has folding insect-like wings and a spacecraft-sportscar cockpit not only in the flesh, but in flight, thanks to footage released by the team today.

Ther eare two primary applications of the vehicle -- overcoming traffic- and airport-related problems -- but there is a third, not entirely unrelated application too."There are still a lot of countries where there is not an infrastructure," says Vaculik.  

Only three percent of the world has paved road and the AeroMobil team believes they have built the kind of vehicle capable of overcoming problems caused by lack of this infrastructure in many places.

To fly the car, you do need a pilot's license, but the pair claim that it is very stable and easy to control. Unfortunately, no matter how much you are willing to pay for the AeroMobil 3.0, the company is not taking any orders until it is sure it can start manufacturing them to standard. "We want to be a serious company. This is not a boy toy -- we are not building a prop for a Hollywood movie," says Vaculik. The final price will fall somewhere in between the price of a supercar and a small plane, he adds.

 Ferrari parked in office 33 years heads
toward $3.4 million sale

By Marco R. della Cava 6 hours ago Motoramic

1967 Ferrari 275 GTB-4

A guy in David Gooding's position is used to strange calls concerning cars. Whether it's a description of a faded hood ornament poking through hay in a barn or whisperings about a model that experts thought didn't exist, the auction
company founder is typically unruffled when it
comes to "Do I have a story for you" tales.
But not this time.

"The phone rang, and I was told about what was promised to be a very nice Ferrari that was sitting inside its former owner's office," says Gooding. "I didn't know quite what to make of this."
So he went to see the car. What he found startled him: a rakish 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 parked in something that blended a den, office and garage. The Ferrari was more stationary sculpture than resting racer. But it was all there, and it was beautiful. "I walked in and didn't want to leave," says Gooding. "If I could have pulled up a cot, I would have."

This 275 GTB/4 - which could bring between $3.4 and $3.8 million - is one of the highlights of Gooding and Company's upcoming Amelia Island auction on March 13, one of the big stops on the year's classic-autos calendar.

Besides the elemental appeal of this increasingly prized Prancing Horse - a GTB/4 owned by actor and racer Steve McQueen sold for a staggering $10 million at auction last summer - its rarity is compounded by having lived with the same family for the past 43 years. What's more, it was parked in the owner's auto-themed office in 1982 - and was never driven again.

South End Kustom was started by Dick Dean, the year was 1956 in Wyandotte, Michigan. Working for other shops, such as Clark/ Kaiser and the Alexander Brothers. South End Kustom stayed busy.  

In 1959, at the Detroit Autorama, Dick met George Barris. George had told Dick that he needed to be in California. At the end of that year Dick closed the shop and moved to California to work for Barris. In 2005, Dick Dean was set to retire. His son, Keith Dean wanted to continue the "Dean" tradition . As a tribute to Dick, Keith reopened the shop as South End Kustom and is continuing the old school kustom tradition set forth by his father.  

Mike and Rita Garner displayed their 1959 Chevy Custom

One-off 1940 Oldsmobile Dynamic Series woodie wagon sells for $46,200


1940 Oldsmobile Dynamic wagon, one of one known to be built. Photos courtesy Bonhams - Article courtesy Kurt Ernst

Those wanting a station wagon from Oldsmobile during the 1940 model year had but a single choice: Purchase the base, Special series wagon, built on a 116-inch wheelbase.

At least one 1940 Oldsmobile Dynamic series wagon was custom built, however, and this one-of-one woodie crossed the block at Bonhams' inaugural Amelia Island auction, selling for a fee-inclusive price of $46,200.

Though the Special and Dynamic series models shared a 230-cu.in. inline six-cylinder engine, the latter models rode on a longer 120-inch wheelbase. Available body styles in the Dynamic range included four two-doors (convertible, business coupe, club coupe and sedan), and a single four-door in a sedan body style. Those wanting a wagon on the longer wheelbase platform had just one option: Buy a Dynamic model and ship it off to be rebodied by a company like Waterloo, New York's, Mid-State Body Company.
