Mar/Apr 2026

Featuring: - Kane Lawson’s 775hp LX Torana powered by a screaming NASCAR 358ci SB2. It's essentially a street-legal race car built as close to Central Muscle Cars' spec as possible, and it'd easily be one of the best Toranas in the country. - An Art Morrison–based ’69 Z/28 Camaro, inspired by Bob Jane’s ’69 ZL-1 Camaro. With its modernised suspension and upgraded chassis, six-speed manual gearbox, and supercharged LSA — if you're into Camaros, you'll be drooling over this one. - A Ford Model A with a 1650ci V12 tank engine — yes, really. Runs a 16/71 blower! - And finally, for the Mopar fans, we've tracked down a holy grail car; the uber-rare, NASCAR homologated, ‘Aero War’ starting, 300kph-worthy ’69 Dodge Charger 500. It's a very historically significant car, and its owner, Duncan Stewart, has had this one nut-and-bolt restored with an incredible respect for its origins. Plus, coverage of Kumeu Hot Rod & Classic Car Festival, Muscle Car Madness 36, Summernats highlights, and all your favourite sections: Readers’ Rides, Dragged Up, Decade Ago, and Social Scene.
