This past week, the auction house announced that they had found a buyer for the car, but released limited details on the sale.

Filed under: Classics , Coupe , Performance , Auctions , Hatchback , Dodge 1987 Shelby Dodge Charger GLH-S - Click above for high-res image gallery When Carroll Shelby , the legendary creator of the Cobra (as if you didn’t know), started lending his name and company’s tuning capabilities to the front-wheel drive Chrysler products in the 1980s, instant classics were made. Contemporary tests found that the Shelby Dodges were completely up to the task of keeping pace with the best American performance cars of the era, and the relative undesirability of the base cars meant that a rather small number of Shelby Omnis, Chargers and Shadows were sold. This raises an interesting question: Now that a several decades have passed since Shelby was tuning Pentastars, are those cars now collectible

Filed under: Classics , Honda , Motorcycle , Design/Style There are quite a few automotive enthusiasts who also have a passion for motorcycles, a fact evidenced by the Honda CB450 you see above. This machine was built by Johann Keyser, who is also the man responsible for those sweet Gulf Oil-themed GT40 replicas that have graced our pages in the past. As you can see, Keyser was going for a retro Norton Manx look with his Honda cafe custom, and by all accounts he appears to have succeeded with flying colors.
