As the Hot Rod Power Tour arrived at the Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana on Thursday, smokin' tires and hot runs on the drag strip made it very obvious why the Power Tour is so popular. There was an endless line of hot rodders lined up to run the NHRA track, and a huge car show with long-haulers congregated nearby. Click this link to the Hot Rod Magazine website to read the story. The Power Tour ends today, Friday, June 14 at the Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio. Long-Haulers will receive their certificates tomorrow, June 15, 2019 at the closing ceremonies in Norwalk. This was the 25th Annual Hot Rod Power Tour, with over 6,000 vehicles registered for the tour. They estimate that over 100,000 spectators gathered each night at the six locations along the tour route from Charlotte, North Carolina to Norwalk, Ohio. It is the largest traveling car show in the world.

The most popular car on the internet this week is a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner from Rutledge, Tennessee. The B5 blue Mopar is being offered for sale by a private party collector. He says it is a restored, numbers matching 383 ci high performance muscle car with an Air Grabber hood, 727 Torqueflite transmission and 323 Suregrip rear end. Our analytics say it has been viewed 653 times in the past seven days. It is a really sweet Mopar muscle car for the money. The seller is only asking $33,000. A 1967 Chevelle SS Resto Mod, a SEMA show car, being offered by a private seller from Carthage, North Carolina, got the second most pageviews this week. It had been viewed by 626 buyers.

If you are an enlightened car collector you might think there is nothing hotter in the market today than a first generation Chevy Nomad. Well, we have actually found something more desirable than the vaunted Nomad. This 1955 Pontiac Safari Wagon is the Nomad cousin that is even more rare than a Nomad. This one is being offered for sale by Legendary Motors of Beverly, Massachusetts. It is believed that only 3,760 Safari's were built for the 1955 model year. This one came from the factory with power steering and brakes, power windows, air conditioning, under hood light, sun visor, leather interior and the innovative traffic light finder. Have it inspected and you will find that this older restoration still holds up. See if you agree that this would be an investable collector find.

We are just two weeks away from the Raleigh Classic Auction in Raleigh, North Carolina, June 21-22, 2019. We see the fresh consignments growing daily.

A rare 1968 Shelby GT500 in Acapulco blue will be one of the featured muscle cars you'll be able to bid on at the Raleigh Classic Auction.

The subject of a no expense spared restoration, this 1948 Mercury Eight Convertible was striking car for its time.

It is equipped with a 239 cid L-head V8, 3-speed manual column shift transmission, solid front axle and live rear axle with transverse semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

This unique IHC Travel All is equipped with a 6 cycle engine and 3 speed transmission. It features 3 row seating, clam shell rear door and radio.
