A testament to what is possible when cost is no object, these Builds are literally hand fabricated from headlight to tail light, integrating only token pieces of metal from their namesake to establish their identity by year and make.

In 2017 this group of top Builds made the show circuit, with stops at premier classic car events such as Detroit Autorama in Michigan, Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA, Hot August Nights in Reno, NV, Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, KY, and Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, OH. Along the way, these best of the best wowed show attendees and received some of the most coveted awards in the hobby. Here are our picks for a 12-bay dream garage, filled with 2017’s crop of masterpieces."

I had the opportunity to get up close with the Mulholland...it’s really, really...really nice. It’s not only the first Packard(ish) to win AMBR but it’s probably the only winner that has undercoating, yeah he plans on driving it.

As many know this 'Gruppe B' prototype preceeded the 959 cars...







Just 1005 hp reportedly...





The Phil Hill/Jo Bonnier Chaparral 2D Chevrolet on the way to the win in the ADAC-1000-km-Rennen Nürburgring, 1966.






The grills on these cars...









A TVR?
