2019 BMW X7, 2019 Porsche Panamera GTS, SpeedKore Dodge Demon: This Week's Top Photos

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=5369&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr 2019 BMW X7 This week we saw BMW launch its biggest vehicle yet in the form of the 2019 X7. The full-size, three-row SUV is available to order now and will start delivery next March. It sports a handsome design, and the interior is much more luxurious than we’re used to seeing from BMW. It should prove a hit for buyers looking for a luxury family hauler. 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo first owned by Walter Payton This pristine example of the 930-series Porsche 911 Turbo was the prized possession of the late NFL hero Walter Payton. The car has less than 10,000 miles on the clock and will be going under the hammer later this month. 2019 Porsche Panamera GTS Fans of more modern Porsches were treated this week with the reveal of the GTS version of the second-generation Panamera. With a starting price of $129,350, it’s the cheapest way to get into a V-8-powered Panamera. 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna fitted with LT5 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 crate engine Chevrolet this week unveiled a trio of new crate engines, and one of them was the supercharged V-8 found in the latest Corvette ZR1. Code-named the LT5, this beast of an engine delivers 755 horsepower to start. Chevy will introduce it this month at the 2018 SEMA show…in a 1973 Chevelle Laguna. 2018 SpeedKore Dodge Challenger SRT Demon This carbon fiber-bodied 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the work of the folks at SpeedKore Performance Group. Not only is it a thing of beauty, but it’s also darn quick. Thanks to a twin-turbocharger setup, the car is generating just under 1,400 horsepower at the flywheel. That makes it almost a full second quicker than the stock Demon down the quarter-mile. 2019 Yenko Chevrolet Camaro More of a Chevy fan? Specialty Vehicle Engineering unveiled its Yenko version of the updated 2019 Camaro, and the car packed 1,000 horsepower. To get to that figure, SVE installed an LT1-based 6.8-liter V-8 engine and married the stroked engine to a supercharger. Huet Brothers Coupe Dutch firm Huet Brothers has a retro-styled carbon fiber sports car in the works. The design is complete, but Huet Brothers is looking to raise funds to build the first prototype. You can help support the project via a Kickstarter campaign that went live this week. Unlike many similar campaigns where you simply pledge money, Huet Brothers is offering a seriously cool Swiss-made watch that will be shipped to you if you pledge $340. 2020 BMW Alpina B7 facelift spy shots – Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien One of the cars we spied this week was a BMW Alpina B7. BMW is working on an update for its 7-Series and that means the Alpina version of the car, the B7, is also due for an update. Judging from the shots, the 600-horsepower super sedan looks to be taking on a handsome, muscular look. Via MotorAuthority

2019 Detroit Autorama: The Great 8 Winners

On Sunday, the judges at the 67th Meguiars Detroit Autorama Presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts announce the winner of the 2019 Ridler Award. As this is being written those same judges are giving their final evaluation to the eight finalists for that high honor. Those eight cars were identified on Friday morning with large banners announcing their status as the Great 8 presented by BASF.

As you are about to see, the Great 8 winners for 2019 is as diverse a group as you can get. The winners include Fords, Chevys, a Cadillac, and a Willys, spanning a year range from 1932 through 1969. Body styles, build styles, budgets, colors, years in progress, and geographical origins are as different as can be. The common denominators are taste, technical excellence, as a huge passion on the part of the owners and builders.

Here are this year’s Detroit Autorama. One of them will be the Ridler winner. Which one?

1941 Willys Owner: Quint Walberts, Danville, IN Builder: Quint Walberts This owner-built Willys, created over the course of eight years on weekends, would be equally a home among street rods and street machines. “I wanted it to look like it was going 100 miles per hour standing still,” he said. The profile body lines are modified for the aggressive rake. The 4-stage pearl paint moves from blue to violet to magenta as the light changes.Quint painted the graphics. The hand-fabricated interior is finished in leather with a textured fiber material on the floor. The engine compartment packs a ZZ5 engine backed with a TH400 and Moser Wavetrac rear with 4:11 gears. The tube chassis is equipped with RideTech ShockWave suspension.

1964 Acadian Owner: Danny, Sandy & Cody Jadresko, Victoria, BC Builder: JF Launier, JF Kustoms This GM Acadian has a long history under Danny’s ownership. He bought it 35 years ago, and he and Sandy rode in it on their honeymoon two years later. It was drag raced for many years. Three years ago, JF Kustoms got the car with instructions to redo it. The body has been reshaped mildly from top to bottom, molded into the frame, and painted white with assymetrical graphics incorporating the “Anvil” nickname. A Nelson Racing Engine 632 runs twin 88mm Mirror Image turbos and was dyno’d at 2,510hp. The full-race chassis features QA1 shocks, and Curtis Speed Equipment A-arms. Mike Curtis provided many components including the one-off wheels. The full-leather interior incorporates custom seats, a rear luggage trunk, and a full cage.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Owner: Steve Barton, Las Vegas, NV Builder: Jordan Quintal, Sr. , Super Rides By Jordan The long-awaited Cadmad has been a 16-year project that started with Steve’s low-production ’59 Brougham and drove onto the floor of  Cobo Hall as a one-of-a kind wagon. The transformation is the result of Super Rides by Jordan’s custom work, including the top transplanted from a 1955 Pontiac wagon. The Cad body was re-dimensioned at virtually every point, and rides on a fully custom chassis with independent front and rear suspension. Power comes from a Nelson Racing Engine runs 632 fed by 88mm Mirror Image turbochargers. The paint is based on an original 1961 Cadillac color. Steve Barton passed away before this car was completed; his brother Craig is showing the Cadmad in his honor.

1965 Chevelle Owner: Sonny Freeman, Lafayette,  LA Builder: Mike Goldman, Mike Goldman Customs Sonny’s Chevelle is another collaboration with Mike Goldman Customs. The car’s name is Reflection, since it is a look at cars and styles from a significant period in automotive history. It was inspired by the ’65 El Camino Sonny had driven as a young man, and built from Eric Brockmeyer’s concept illustrations. Sonny chose the blue tone to be close to Chevy’s Marina Blue from those days. Mike went over the exterior, making countless sheetmetal mods. The body sits on an Art Morrison Sport GT chassis. Mike Curtis designed the one-off billet wheels. The Chevelle is powered by a 900-horse LS7 backed by a Tremec T56 transmission. The seats were covered in charcoal and haze leather by Paul Atkins Interiors.

1932 Ford Victoria Owner: Phil & Debbie Becker, Dwight, IL Builder: Dave Lane, Fast Lane Rod Shop Phil and Debbie and Dave Lane have worked together in the past, but the “Legacy” ’32 Vicky is a new height in the partnership. The Beckers have owned the car since 1977 and drove it until the Nineties. The redone Deuce still features original Ford steel, tastefully and mildly reshaped. The Moal coachbuilt chassis has a5-inch dropped and drilled front axle and Winters aluminum banjo rearend. Dayton 16- and 17-inch wire wheels were chosen for a period look. The Chevy small-black with Borla 8-stack injection was purposely built without a lot of identification to mimic the style of the coachbuilt cars of the Thirties. The interior has custom seats plus a ’39 Zephyr dash, glovebox, waterfall, and gauge cluster.

1935 Ford Slantback Owner: Robert & Lorna Chapman, Ontario, CA Builder: Robert Chapman Eleven years ago, Bob had an original frame and a $400 shell and desire to build a driver. He wanted it chopped with a filled roof. The project accelerated as he collected parts from all over. With the completion of the custom chassis with IFS and independent suspension and a polished 9-inch rear with 3.73 gears, things took off. The body got a 2-inch chop and is lowered slightly over the frame in front. Schott wheels are a perfect match for car. Exterior details include Harley headlights, a laid back grille, and that gorgeous paint. The hot rodded Corvette LS1 is topped by a Magnuson blower. Paul Atkins built the interior, modifying Wise Guys seats. The dash features Classic Instruments gauges and no switches.

1969 Camaro Owner: Pat & Debbie Moran, Harrison Township, MI Builder: Willy Peart, Willy’s Workshop Pat Moran is a dedicated Sixties musclecar fan and his particular passion is for Chevys. The ’69 Camaros were a high point for BowTie muscle car design and Pat wanted this car to honor that. Willy’s Workshop answered the call to build a full-frame driver that blended old and new. Under the hood, custom sheetmetal shrouds the GM LSA engine (from a Cadillac). While the body honors the Sixties, a 2012 Camaro interior brings things into the 21st Century. Custom aluminum wheels with handbuilt caps featuring the ZL69 logo continue the modern flavor. At the start of this build, Pat never thought about showing the finished Camaro; however, here it is in Cobo Center as a Great 8 winner.

1947 Ford Sedan Delivery Owner: Mel Harbaugh, Ottawa Lake, MI Builder: Chris Dixon, Wounded Knee Motors Mel took his sedan delivery to Wounded Knee Motors in 2017 to transform it into an extraordinary but practical driver. The result is this two-tone green Ford-powered rod riding on a Mustang II style front suspension and RideTech-suspended rear, carried by Colorado Custom wheels. The engine is a new Ford 5.0L Coyote under a handbuilt cover. Interior goodies include the leather covered custom seats, Classic Instruments gauges, Billet Specialties steering wheel, and Pioneer stereo system. The paint colors were chosen to resemble Ford fleet colors. Minutes before the sedan delivery was selected as a Great 8 winner, STREET RODDER had selected Mel’s car as our Best Ford in a Ford.

Pricey parking: Warehouses for wealthy car collectors emerge as new niche in storage

A 1971 Plymouth Barracuda (Credit: Ullstein Bild | Getty Images)

Collectors of vintage cars face a bigger storage challenge than owners of wine and art collections.

That’s why car warehouses are opening across the country with parking for 100 or more collector’s items, from classic Porsches to Plymouth Barracudas, according to wealth-management advisers and and car collectors.

For example, hedge fund partner Henry Robertelli of Axius Holdings is building out a 7,000-square-foot space for car storage inside a warehouse in suburban Atlanta that spans almost 35,000 square feet. “There’s a demand for it,” Robertelli told Bloomberg.

Matt Farrah, a Los Angeles-based media entrepreneur, is building a 13,800-square-foot garage in west Los Angeles with storage space for as many as 140 cars. Farrah told Bloomberg that he has 85 people on a waiting list who are prepared to pay a monthly fee of as much as $1,500 per parking space when the garage opens in the summer of 2019.

Farah – whose personal car collection includes a Mercedes SL 500, a Porsche 911 and a Lamborghini – expects to invest $10 million to develop his LA car-storage facility. He also plans to open car warehouses in other markets “with a lot of money and no parking,” Bloomberg reported.

Wealthy collectors have turned their attention toward cars and away from art and wine in recent years, and most of them want car storage that is remote from their residences, according to Timothy Sheehan, a senior director of BNY Mellon Wealth Management in Atlanta.

In South Florida, developers Louis Birdman and Jay Massirman have built a condominium for storing cars, called AutoHouse. They priced storage units at the property in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood from $350,000 to $1.5 million.

Popular collectible cars include vintage Mercedes and Ferraris and new limited-edition cars such as the Porsche Turbo S Exclusive as well as Chevy Chevelles, Plymouth Barracudas and other muscle cars manufactured in the 1960s. Restored Volkswagen buses also are popular among collectors. [Bloomberg] – Mike Seemuth

Big-Block and Pony Cars at the 2018 San Marino Motor Classic

One of the things we enjoy most about the San Marino Motor Classic (SMMC) in California, besides the fact that it’s a 20-minute drive from home, is the diversity. This is the kind of concours d’elegance where you can expect the expected—prewar Classics, brass-era cars, even a steamer or two—as well as the totally unexpected. Comedian, podcaster, and film producer Adam Carolla brought 10 of Paul Newman’s race cars. (“The salad dressing guy?” my daughter asked.) A 1970 Buick Estate Wagon was not only on display, but it also won a class award, as did a 1967 Ford Country Squire. And we were glad to see that the Historic Vehicle Association had its own class of well-preserved originals, with awards given to a 1954 Jaguar XK120, a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, and a 1972 Citroen SM.

Like we said, diversity.

We were there with camera and notebook in hand because a healthy percentage of the 350-some cars parked on the beautiful grounds of Lacy Park were muscle cars. Class Manager Joe Salvo and Assistant Class Manager Paul Ginsburg worked hard over the past year to gather enough high-performance Detroit iron that they filled four classes, two for big-block cars (GM and non) and two for pony cars (Mustangs and the rest). Motor Classic in the show’s name may have to change to Muscle Cars if Salvo and Ginsburg keep this up.

As if stunning cars parked in a gorgeous location weren’t enough to recommend this show, it also takes place in early June, so the SoCal weather is usually perfect (not too hot, not too gray). There’s a wide assortment of food trucks parked on the grounds to sate any taste. And all money generated by the concours goes to local charities. This year the show raised more than $300,000 for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA, the Rotary Club of San Marino, and the USC Trojan Marching Band, members of which played on the grounds throughout the day. Now in its eighth year, the SMMC has generated $1.9 million for charity.

Mark your calendars: The next San Marino Motor Classic is scheduled for June 9, 2019. Visit sanmarinomotorclassic.com for more info.

We are suckers for original-owner muscle. Apparently the SMMC judges are, too, as they gave Tim Munyer’s 1967 Chevelle SS396 First in the American Big-Block Muscle Cars 1962-1972 GM class. After buying the Tahoe Turquoise Chevy as a new car, Munyer put 17,000 miles on it in two years before storing it in his parents’ garage because his employer, Ford Motor Company, didn’t like him taking it to work.

Taking First Place in the non-GM big-block class was Christopher Sullivan’s immaculate 1968 Shelby GT500. First sold in Los Angeles at Downey Ford, the Shelby went through a six-year rotisserie restoration, during which Sullivan reused as many of the car’s original parts as possible, including the complete original interior. It was well preserved, he said, because the car spent nearly two decades in storage, “walled off by stacks and stacks of books.”

Ken Woolcott’s 1966 Mustang GT took First in the Pony Cars–Ford Mustang class. The convertible was entered in his name, but he says the car actually belongs to his 14-year-old son, Spencer. “We are an all-Mustang family,” Woolcott explains. His father owned seven, “and after he passed we sold all of them to buy this one.” It’s an original GT delivered in the very rare, 1966-only Ember Glow color. When Woolcott bought the GT it was “all original but tired,” and underwent a two-year restoration by Joe DeMeo in Los Angeles. “I drive the hell out of it between shows. I don’t like trailer queens.”

Longtime reader Tom Gipe first saw a Panther Pink Challenger with a black roof in MUSCLE CAR REVIEW in 1984 and said to himself, “I have to have that car!” Years of searching turned up this T/A in a barn in his father’s Illinois hometown in 2004, but the owner didn’t want to sell. He saw the car again at Mopars at the Strip in 2011, and was finally able to buy it in 2015. His two-year restoration was finished last September. “It’s a pretty basic one,” Gipe says of the Challenger. “Standard dash, automatic, no light group.” Among the non-Mustang Pony Cars at the SMMC, Tom’s Challenger nabbed First in class.

Jack Thomas’s 1968 Charger, in Turbine Bronze with black stripes, “looks like all the ads you saw when the car was new,” he says. He bought the factory Hemi/four-speed car just a couple months before the show. Though it had been through a rotisserie restoration, “now I’m fixing what’s incorrect.” Most of the wrongs he righted so far have been underhood, ranging from the incorrect battery and ground wire to the improper orientation of the air cleaner, the lack of a PCV valve, and the use of generic heater hoses. It’s a long and time-consuming process, made more so by Thomas’ recent knee replacement. We appreciated his commitment enough to give him our MCR Magazine Award.

In 2014, Delco Hagen came to the SMMC with his Monaco Orange 1969 Chevelle hardtop, sporting an aluminum-headed L89 version of the 375hp big-block underhood. He told us he was working on a convertible twin for that car, but back then he had no idea it would take years to get the drop-top done so he could show them together (as seen in our opening photo). “It was a basket case,” he explains, “with parts missing and wrong parts. The previous owner promised parts he didn’t have. That’s why it took four years to restore instead of two.” Terry Sparks performed the restoration on both cars, with Hagen chasing needed parts. Other than the convertible’s power windows, the two cars are identically equipped. The SMMC judges gave Hagen Second in class for the convertible, Third for the hardtop.

Other than a repaint done 21 years ago, David Sparks’ L72-powered, 70,000-mile 1966 Bel Air is “100 percent original,” he says. The plain-white-wrapped sleeper was still wearing the emblem of its original-selling dealership when Sparks bought the car 12 years ago, allowing him to trace its origins to Munford, Tennessee. Apparently there were no racers in that town. According to the son of the dealership’s owner, “No one wanted a hi-po 427 with a manual transmission and the heavy-duty suspension,” says Sparks.

Taking Second in the non-Mustang Pony Car Class was Jim Mikkelson’s Hugger Orange Camaro SS350. The convertible is immaculate now thanks to the efforts of J&H Restorations of Riverside, California, a far cry from how it arrived from Iowa after Mikkelson bought it on the internet. “It was supposed to be restored, but when it showed up it had some issues,” he tells us, understating the car’s shoddy condition. J&H basically “took the car apart until nothing was wrong,” and then rebuilt it correctly. It’s a numbers-matching car heavy with options—literally. “It has power windows, which are rare, only about one percent of the Camaros got them, because they add 500 pounds to the car.”

The first time George Tutundjian saw this 340 ’Cuda it belonged to the original owner. Five years later he spotted the car again on a used car lot and bought it. “But then I sold it, regretted it, and bought it again 30 years later.” Other than a repaint of the Curious Yellow in the 1980s, the ’Cuda remains in remarkable original shape. It’s a two-fender-tag car loaded with options ranging from the vinyl top and billboards to the cassette player with microphone.

His two-year restoration was finished last September. “It’s a pretty basic one,” Gipe says of the Challenger. “Standard dash, automatic, no light group.” Among the non-Mustang Pony Cars at the SMMC, Tom’s Challenger nabbed First in class.

Jack Thomas’s 1968 Charger, in Turbine Bronze with black stripes, “looks like all the ads you saw when the car was new,” he says. He bought the factory Hemi/four-speed car just a couple months before the show. Though it had been through a rotisserie restoration, “now I’m fixing what’s incorrect.” Most of the wrongs he righted so far have been underhood, ranging from the incorrect battery and ground wire to the improper orientation of the air cleaner, the lack of a PCV valve, and the use of generic heater hoses. It’s a long and time-consuming process, made more so by Thomas’ recent knee replacement. We appreciated his commitment enough to give him our MCR Magazine Award.

In 2014, Delco Hagen came to the SMMC with his Monaco Orange 1969 Chevelle hardtop, sporting an aluminum-headed L89 version of the 375hp big-block underhood. He told us he was working on a convertible twin for that car, but back then he had no idea it would take years to get the drop-top done so he could show them together (as seen in our opening photo). “It was a basket case,” he explains, “with parts missing and wrong parts. The previous owner promised parts he didn’t have. That’s why it took four years to restore instead of two.” Terry Sparks performed the restoration on both cars, with Hagen chasing needed parts. Other than the convertible’s power windows, the two cars are identically equipped. The SMMC judges gave Hagen Second in class for the convertible, Third for the hardtop.

Other than a repaint done 21 years ago, David Sparks’ L72-powered, 70,000-mile 1966 Bel Air is “100 percent original,” he says. The plain-white-wrapped sleeper was still wearing the emblem of its original-selling dealership when Sparks bought the car 12 years ago, allowing him to trace its origins to Munford, Tennessee. Apparently there were no racers in that town. According to the son of the dealership’s owner, “No one wanted a hi-po 427 with a manual transmission and the heavy-duty suspension,” says Sparks.

Taking Second in the non-Mustang Pony Car Class was Jim Mikkelson’s Hugger Orange Camaro SS350. The convertible is immaculate now thanks to the efforts of J&H Restorations of Riverside, California, a far cry from how it arrived from Iowa after Mikkelson bought it on the internet. “It was supposed to be restored, but when it showed up it had some issues,” he tells us, understating the car’s shoddy condition. J&H basically “took the car apart until nothing was wrong,” and then rebuilt it correctly. It’s a numbers-matching car heavy with options—literally. “It has power windows, which are rare, only about one percent of the Camaros got them, because they add 500 pounds to the car.”

The first time George Tutundjian saw this 340 ’Cuda it belonged to the original owner. Five years later he spotted the car again on a used car lot and bought it. “But then I sold it, regretted it, and bought it again 30 years later.” Other than a repaint of the Curious Yellow in the 1980s, the ’Cuda remains in remarkable original shape. It’s a two-fender-tag car loaded with options ranging from the vinyl top and billboards to the cassette player with microphone.
