Would you like to sport about in this 1975 AMC Hornet?
/

comments
It’s no Gucci Sportabout, but this 1975 AMC Hornet looks like it would be fun to try and save. Especially since it’s ripe for some manner of engine swap that brings power and fun way up. At one point, AMC was popping the 360 V8 in the Hornet, but that’s not what this particular machine…

I’ve built a few things in Lego here and there. The last one, which sits on a shelf in my garage, is the Technic Land Rover Defender. That one has working suspension, four high and low, steering, a working engine, and much more. It would be a blast to have a spot to test out…

Encyclopedia Hoonatica: This Volvo power steering pump is amazing
/
/
comments
Here’s something new I learned this morning… the electric power steering pump out of certain Volvo models is the perfect addition to a project car. Specifically, a project car in need of a power steering solution. That’s because it’s a self-contained unit you can mount anywhere, then power up, run your hoses, and voila, you…

comments
I knew I’d like the Ford Bronco Raptor, but I didn’t know that I’d love it. But I do because it’s amazing how well it handles off and on-road. You have good power, tons of travel, the best tires, and plenty of drive modes to handle any situation ahead of you. The Ford Bronco Raptor…

Hooniverse Asks: Fastbacks are too expensive, so which old Ford Mustang would you buy?
/

comments
There are differences between the years. Sellers have a range of quality levels on offer. And a whole lot of cars clearly came packing six-cylinder power backed up by an automatic gearbox. Yes, I’m pretend-shopping old Ford Mustangs, and I have been for some time now. Finally, it seems like the market may be prepping…

comments
You know it’s going to cause people to have very different opinions when the subject matter involves jack stands and Harbor Freight. But the affordable tool supplier has three fresh options in its lineup, and I have to say they all look pretty great. The new stands are part of the Daytona line of gear,…
