Did you admire the Dukes of Hazzard when you were a kid? Did you want a snarling, door-welded-shut Dodge Charger with 383 power? Sure, most of us who grew up in the late 70s and early 80s did, but some never got over it and many have created tributes to the General Lee. Today’s example…

Super Rare (in US) Peugeot P4
Celebrate the potential return of Peugeot and/or Citroen to the US market with an oddball, French military Peugeot product, which should also be a thoroughly capable off-roader.

Big Block Shorty: 1966 Thunderbird
We are endlessly fascinated with the custom “shorty” cars, and this T-Bird is really something special – love it or hate it – though some serious work remains.
