When it was brand-spanking new for the 1980 model year, this C10 was nothing more than a blue-collar pickup. Following a frame-off restoration, the half-ton workhorse has received go-faster goodies such as a 489 stroker V8 motor with 593 dyno-proven horsepower and a lot of torque. 36 photos
Offered by RK Motors Charlotte with just under 60 miles (97 kilometers) on the clock, the truck develops 558 pound-feet (757 Nm) thanks to performance-oriented components that include the K&N air cleaner, Holley 300-5 Strip Dominator intake system, Holley Quick Fuel carburetor, and World Products Merlin cylinder heads. Under the hood, you’ll also find a forged crankshaft, a SCAT Enterprises rotating assembly, forged H-beam rods, forged pistons, and a hydraulic roller camshaft from Isky.

It’s not difficult to find customized cars these days. The real challenge is picking from this large bunch the ones that have something really exciting and unique to bring to the world. Like, say, a crazy combination between copper, tan and bamboo, and a supercharged engine. 44 photos
There are plenty of customized Chevrolet Nomads out there too, but we’re pretty sure there’s none like this one. It’s called CopperSol, and was allegedly brought to this shape through a process that took no less than five years to complete. And it seems to have been worth every day of it.

Introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year, the first generation of the Camaro is up there with the best ponies in the pantheon of American muscle. The 396 engine with 375 horsepower and the 302 engine with approximately 400 horsepower are highly collectible in this day and age, but not everyone likes the Camaro stock. 43 photos
Take, for instance, this pro-touring build from Roadster Shop. Instead of a good ol’ Chevy motor, this one-off restomod rocks a boat engine from Mercury Racing. Codenamed SB4, the dual-overhead powerplant revs to 8,000 rpm, features a compression ratio of 11.7 to 1, and flexes 750 hp.

The truck is part of the D/W series Dodge started making back in the 1960s. More to the point, it’s a D-200 crew cab, extensively modified and turned into something that looks not unlike a limousine, both in terms of luxury and size.
Officially dubbed 1967 Dodge D-200 Double Wide, the project uses an all-steel body in two-tone Pearl Blue and Satin Bronze paint, slapped on top of a Roadster Shop chassis that rocks a RideTech coilover suspension and Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners.
