Chevrolet Camaro "RIP"...

In a couple of years, thousands will be lining up in Chevy dealers getting ready to place a down payment for the all new Camaro. Many will do it to re-live their adolescence without spending time or money in restoring, others just to make a quick buck by reselling the first pieces on e-bay and hopefully, many by the car itself. Same goes for the Dodge Challenger. But what about the cars that actually inspired this retro muscle-craze, what did fate behold for them?


Well, some lucky ones found a home in your everyday garage where they’ll spend the rest of their life “married” to passionate everyday folks who’ll cherish them and treat them with an occasional spin. Others, less fortunate spend most of their time between “rest-homes” and auction halls. Even worse though, some like the Camaros shown in the pictures are cursed to stay still in graveyards abandoned to the harsh hands of nature till rust takes all….

Super Chevy mag stumbled upon this car graveyard filled with first & second-generation Chevrolet Camaro located somewhere in Southern California. Don’t tell me that seeing these Camaros doesn’t burn a few heart valves. Via: Motorpassion & Super Chevy

Tokyo Auto Salon: Mugen Honda Jazz/Fit, Civic & S2000 Concepts



Even though the show lasts for a couple of days only, those Tokyo boyz are rolling off concepts faster than a DSG transmission changes gears! On its part Honda specialist Mugen revealed spiced up versions of the Jazz/Fit, Civic Sedan and the S2000 Roadster.

As with the majority of the Tokyo presentations, information concerning the cars is more limited than our knowledge of black holes so once again we’ll have to be consent with any images we’ve got on our hands -for now that is. Undoubtedly Mugen’s most impressive show car is the “Open-Top Sports Concept” or to make its simple a barchetta version of the S2000 with an eye-catching bodykit that we’d just love to take it for a drift –wouldn’t you?





Albeit less impressive, the other two Mugen concepts are the “Road to Racing Concept” which is based on the Civic Sedan featuring a bodykit reminiscent of the 4door Type-R (although that looked much cooler thanks to its polar white colour) & the “Fit Spec-D” which well, is a supped-up Fit (Jazz).
