    Viper V10-Powered 1932 Chevrolet BA Confederate Coach 6-Speed

    This 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Coach was the subject of a multi-year build at Wadson’s Hot Rods of Edmonton, Alberta, and it is powered by an 8.0-liter Viper V10 linked to a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and a Currie 9” rear end. The steel bodywork is finished in a custom metallic purple with airbrushed snake graphics, and it rides on a stretched frame with a Total Cost Involved independent front assembly, a four-link rear setup, and adjustable coilovers. Two-tone leather upholstery covers the interior, which features power windows, a concealed sound system, and Dakota Digital gauges. Other highlights include a custom air scoop, rear-hinged doors, Billet Specialties 15” wheels, rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood disc brakes. This Chevrolet street rod has received numerous awards since its completion and is now offered in Canada with build records and Alberta registration listing the car as a 2006 model.

    The wood framing was replaced with steel during the build, the roof was filled in, and the frame was extended by 8” and boxed. The doors were shaved and mounted to concealed rear hinges, the rear wheel wells were tubbed, and a custom-fabricated hood was installed before the car was painted custom metallic dark purple.

    Hand-applied snake graphics wrap around the bodywork.

    Details include a dual-inlet air scoop, a stainless-steel grille insert, curved front bumperettes, flush-mounted taillights, and rectangular exhaust outlets.

    Billet Specialties 15” wheels are wrapped in 165-series Woosung SB-802 tires up front and 31×15.50″ Mickey Thompson rubber out back.

    The suspension incorporates a Total Cost Involved independent front assembly with rack-and-pinion steering, a four-link rear setup with a Panhard bar, and adjustable coilovers all around. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with Wilwood calipers.

    The cabin is trimmed in beige and purple leather, and the bucket seats are accented with Viper-logo embroidery. Power windows and billet door handles have been added, and the Pioneer CD head unit is concealed in the glove compartment.

    The steering wheel is mounted to a Billet Specialties tilt column and fronts Dakota Digital GPS instrumentation. The odometer is not connected, and the seller estimates that the car has been driven 250 miles since the build was completed.

    The 8.0-liter Viper V10 crate engine is equipped with custom-fabricated exhaust headers, and the valve covers were refinished in black.

    Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and a Currie 9” rear end. The frame has been powder-coated.

    A build summary and records are displayed in the gallery.

    The car has received numerous awards since its completion, and they can also be viewed in the gallery.

    A removed chassis plate will accompany the car along with manufacturer’s literature.

    The car is registered as a 2006 “ubuilt” using the assigned VIN 2AT6062126U301639. The vehicle is being sold on its registration, which serves as the ownership document in Alberta.

    Hot Wheels Crowns New King in the UK

    We’ve visited the Hot Wheels Legends Tour several times when it has passed through Phoenix, but the tour is not just for North America. On August 23 and 24, 2025, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK was at the Gravity Car Show in Birmingham to crown a new king.

    Of course, someone else already wears a different sort of crown, and we don’t want to arouse the legal team for offending Family Windsor’s sensibilities, but this coronation has more resonance with us Yanks. This is how it went down: Entries started being accepted on May 28; the entry period ended on our Independence Day (huzzah!). Nineteen days later, two finalists were announced. Fans got a chance to name a third one on August 4. All three competed at the Gravity Car Show. One winner was selected. The new king? A 1982 “E21” BMW 3 Series.

    If something looks strange yet familiar about this car, you’re not the only one to think that: This vehicle’s single headlights mean it’s a 315 or 316, models which were never imported to the U.S. But if you think about it, those give it a look similar to the 2002 precursor with which we’re familiar. After Paul and Ethan Foster finished their 14-year build, it took on a look more akin to a Group 2 racer.

    “It’s amazing to win the Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK. Built together with my son Ethan, it’s part of our family and we’ll never sell it. We’ve both been huge Hot Wheels fans since we were kids. I just can’t believe it,” says Paul Foster. “Representing the UK at the next round of the competition is so exciting. Thank you to everyone for the support.”

    Here’s how Hot Wheels has described the build: Paul Foster’s 1982 BMW E21 3-Series combines aggressive Group 2 styling with bespoke engineering in a true life-size Hot Wheels car. The 345/35/15 rear tires, fiberglass wide-arch kit, alloy diffuser and deep front splitter give it a muscular stance, while the race livery featuring violet, red and blue accents, is a nod to 80s and 90s BMW touring cars. An original Group 5 rear wing, now with a carbon blade, adds downforce and drama in equal measure, whilst under the bonnet sits a 420 bhp 5.0-liter Rover V8 with twin Jenvey throttle bodies. Other performance features include flame spitting side pipes, DTM Getrag gearbox and Quaife LSD whilst GAZ coilovers and uprated Willwood brakes ensure it handles as well as its looks.

    Hot Wheels designer Charlie Angulo, together with judges Nicola Hume, Jordan Clarke, and influencer Mat Armstrong, scored each entry based on design, authenticity, and garage spirit criteria.

    So, what’s next for the Bimmer? It will head to the European final on September 20, a virtual regional competition that includes the Middle East, Latin America, and the U.S. One winner will be selected from each region to compete at the Global Grand Finale, where the winner will be inducted into the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends.

    Adds Ted Wu, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Design for Vehicles and Building Sets at Mattel, “This year, the UK once again delivered a lineup of jaw-dropping contenders, each brimming with raw garage spirit, authenticity and the kind of imagination that Hot Wheels enthusiasts crave.”

    All-New 2026 Jeep Cherokee Gets the Brand’s First Hybrid Engine

    All Jeep makes is SUVs (with the exception of the Gladiator midsize truck). But following the 2023 model year, Jeep stopped offering the Cherokee, its entry in the popular midsize segment. After months of building anticipation for the next-generation model, Jeep finally revealed the 2026 Cherokee at an event in the New York borough of Brooklyn. Not only is it all-new, but it also marks a first in Jeep history: hybrid power.

    You might be thinking, Isn’t the Wrangler 4xe a hybrid? Yes it is, but it’s a plug-in hybrid with a turbo 2.0-liter I4 and a battery pack that enables it to be driven on all-electric power for short distances. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee’s hybrid system consists of a new 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder coupled with two electric motors and a battery. Total output is 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft. Although the new hybrid powertrain doesn’t provide a gas-free driving range like the 4xe setup, it can return an estimated 37 mpg (combined) and squeeze more than 500 miles out of a tank of gas, according to Stellantis.

    2026 Jeep Cherokee Overland

    If the new Cherokee looks a little boxier and more upright, that’s because it is. According to Stellantis, “The 2026 Cherokee is longer, taller, and wider than the previous Cherokee with sharp edges to recall beloved Cherokee models from yesteryear.” Unofficial translation: Jeep wanted it to look more like the beloved 1984-2001 XJ Cherokee.

    2026 Jeep Cherokee Overland interior in Arctic

    The default interior color scheme is Global Black, but Arctic white is available on the Laredo, Limited, and Overland models. A new rotary gear selector frees up space for small items up front; at the back, the new Cherokee has 30 percent more cargo capacity for gear or luggage than its predecessor.

    2026 Jeep Cherokee Limited

    Power reaches the trail through the Jeep Active Drive I 4×4 system while Selec-Terrain works out traction management according to which mode—Auto, Sport, Snow, or Sand/Mud—is engaged. Eight inches of ground clearance, an approach angle of 19.6 degrees, a breakover angle of 18.8 degrees, and a departure angle of 29.4 degrees should get the Cherokee back on paved roads, where the rear-axle disconnect function helps maximize fuel economy.

    2026 Jeep Cherokee

    Prices for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee start at $36,995 (which includes a $1,995 destination charge) for the base model and increase to $39,995 for the Laredo, $42,495 for the Limited, and $45,995 for the Overland. As of right now, there’s no word on a Trailhawk or similar variant, but that’s probably not far off. All 2026 Cherokee models get standard equipment that includes a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, Uconnect 5 infotainment with a 12.3-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and rain-sensing wipers. Also on that list are automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist identification, Intersection Collision Assist, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, and the Active Driving Assist system (Level 2 driver assistance system with adaptive cruise control), among other features. The Connect One connected services bundle contains 10 years of over-the-air updates, a Jeep smartphone app, and more. 

    Expect to see the 2026 Cherokee Limited and Overland models on dealership lots late this year; base models and Laredos will show up in early 2026. You’ll find The ClassicCars.com Journal getting some dirt on one as part of a review as soon as we can.

    AutoHunter Spotlight: 2004 BMW Z4 3.0i

    The AutoHunter Spotlight for today is a 2004 BMW Z4 3.0i roadster that has only covered 23,300 miles from new and is being offered by a private seller in Miami. The auction ends on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. (PDT).

    I am writing about this car as I have actually owned a 2005 BMW Z4 3.0i roadster. I bought the car just after the Amelia Island Concours in 2020, just before the spike in prices we saw later that year. My wife Ann had actually seen it parked in our neighborhood with a “For Sale” sign on it and told me I should go see it. It was the same color combination as the car featured on AutoHunter, but it had higher mileage and a manual transmission.

    That Z4 was such an improvement dynamically and comfort-wise over my old Z3, it was simply in another category altogether. The chassis is simply incredible, and the performance from the 3.0-liter M54 engine is fantastic. Sure, the M version of the Z4 is faster, but I found the standard car’s powertrain performance perfect. I put around 15,000 miles on my Z4 and then sold it in 2023 to a friend in Pennsylvania who continues to enjoy it.

    As far as running costs, there was only one non-regular service item I needed to do on the Z4: replace the oil filter housing seal. Not an expensive repair! Beyond that, all I ever did was regular oil changes. These are truly amazing cars that are both reliable and incredibly fun to drive. A good example of an E85/86 Z4 is a car that you can drive for years without any real issues . . . and have a lot of fun doing it.

    This Z4 is painted in Titanium Silver Metallic and features a black power convertible top over a black leather interior. This low-mileage German roadster is offered by the seller with a CARFAX report and a rebuilt title. The details on the title cite water damage, but I looked everywhere in the provided photos of this car and could not find any evidence of this. The interior is in terrific shape with no evidence of ever getting wet; even the underside of the car looks excellent. I am guessing some of the ECUs got wet and the cost to replace them caused the title issues. That being said, this BMW really does look to be an excellent example of a first-generation Z4.

    The exterior pictures show a car that looks like it has never had any issues as well. The paint looks original and in great condition. There is some slight curb damage on one of the wheels, but that is all I found.

    The interior leather, carpets, door cards and such also all look to be in great condition. I doubt the interior of this car ever suffered getting wet due to the flood damage claim, unless they replaced literally everything. This well-optioned car includes BMW’s high-end sound system, which has to be heard to be believed, one of the best sound systems I have ever experienced in a roadster.

    Yes, this car is equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission, but it really does not dull performance. While it doesn’t offer the same amount of interaction of the six-speed manual, it makes getting stuck in stop-and-go traffic much more stress-free. Even the automatic transmissions, when powering the M54 engines, offer strong performance and are nothing like the automatic-equipped Z3s.

    The engine compartment is more of the same, being very clean, again with no signs of flood damage. You will notice some orange film on some of the bodywork under the hood, but this is the sealant BMW used on these parts of the body and is not rust.

    There is one caveat about the Z4, especially when comparing it to a classic car like a Jaguar E-Type or Austin-Healey 3000: it does everything those cars do, only better. Again, I say that as someone who has spent a lot of time in these cars. The Z4 offers the great open-air driving experience of a classic roadster, has a fantastic view over the hood, and has a terrific engine sound and exhaust note. It also offers very comfortable seats, a top that does not leak, air conditioning, and reliability that a Jaguar or Healey could only dream about, even when new. Once you are spoiled by a Z4, you might not want to go back to your old roadster.

    I also like that this Z4 still includes its full set of manuals and factory tool kit, as these somehow get lost over time. What are the risks with a car like this? I would go contact the owner and get an inspection done by a qualified BMW mechanic. If they give the car a clean bill of health, bid on it. If you win, you will have a terrific Z4 at what will likely be a bargain price.

    If you are interested, I would do bid quickly (yes, you do have time), as the auction for this 2004 BMW Z3 3.0i ends on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. (PDT).

    Pick of the Day: 1974 Mercury Montego MX Brougham

    There’s a certain charm about disposable cars. The vehicles that were once common and subsequently junked clearly never received love, so there’s a certain irony in loving something that has managed to survive the travails of ownership. Our Pick of the Day is one of the unloved, only to later realize the potential for love was always there. This 1974 Mercury Montego MX Brougham four-door sedan is listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Saugatuck, Michigan.

    The Mercury Montego can trace its origins to 1968. While the base model was the Comet, the upward steps in trim level were the Montego and Montego MX, plus the Cyclone. For 1969, Mercury added a Montego MX Brougham at the top, while the Comet had its final year as an intermediate. One redesign in 1970 was followed by another for 1972, with a federalized front bumper appearing in 1973 and the same for the rear in 1974.

    The lineup was represented by the Montego, Montego MX, and Montego Brougham. Gone was the sporty Montego GT fastback, which was replaced by the Sports Appearance Group. Available on the Montego and Montego MX two-door hardtop, the package included the nonfunctional scooped hood from the GT, black-painted hub caps and trim rings, dual racing mirrors, lower-body paint and striping, wide-oval tires, a black-out rear panel, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a tachometer and other gauges, and bright pedal pads.

    For the upscale Montego MX Brougham, one could specify the Custom Trim Option, which brought a “tone of high elegance” thanks to Twin Comfort Lounge Seats with Arden velour inserts, 25-ounce cut-pile carpeting, a visor vanity mirror, door pull assist straps, and a distinctive steering wheel. For the ultimate in personal luxury, you could veer away from the Montego portfolio and go with the Cougar, which was now a newly full-fledged member of the intermediate class, though featuring a slightly different front end than the one on the Montego.

    Engine choices were familiar. Standard was a 302-2V paired with a three-speed manual, with a 351-2V, 351-4V, 400-2V, and 460-4V all requiring an automatic transmission. The 351-4V, sometimes called the 351 Cobra Jet, would have its final year, the last time a mid-size Ford offered an engine with any semblance of performance.

    This Gold Glamour metallic 1974 Mercury Montego MX Brougham four-door sedan is quite unusual as it managed to avoid being unloved. In fact, it experienced the exact opposite, as evidenced by 10,628 miles on the odometer. True survivor? That’s what the seller claims and, considering it has its original paint and tires, there’s a good chance that this is indisputable. Dealer-applied undercoating certainly helps, especially considering its original Battle Creek, Michigan digs. Options include the 351-2V, a gold vinyl roof, radial tires, power steering and disc brakes, a clock, air conditioning, a rear defroster, the Appearance Protection Group, tinted glass, a driver-side remote mirror, and body-side moldings. The seller has serviced the fuel system, changed the oil, and brought the car back to life after purchasing it from the original family.

    Some people will claim certain cars are disposable for a reason. We are lesser as a people due to the extinction of the dodo bird and the Tasmanian tiger, so isn’t it fair to think the same for certain cars? We have to send thanks to the original owners and especially the planets, which have aligned themselves to preserve the existence of this Mercury. For $17,900, would you become the caretaker of this indisposable vehicle?

    Chevrolet 348–Powered 1954 Studebaker Starliner

    This 1954 Studebaker Starliner two-door hardtop was customized in the mid-2000s under prior ownership with chassis and interior components from a 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk as well as a 1950s Chevrolet 348ci big-block V8 and a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors. Finished in red and silver over black and silver vinyl upholstery, the car is also equipped with a Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission, Offenhauser finned valve covers, electronic ignition, auxiliary electric cooling fans, tubular exhaust headers, a Fatman Fabrications front subframe, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, body-color steel wheels, polished hubcaps, and whitewall tires. The interior features Vintage Air climate control, an Ididit tilt steering column, and Stewart-Warner gauges. The seller purchased the car on BaT in July 2024, and the alternator and the V-belts subsequently have been replaced, and the exhaust and the steering were repaired. This modified Starliner is now offered with refurbishment photos, a Rod & Custom magazine featuring the car, and a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

    The car was repainted in red with a metallic silver roof under previous ownership, and the chrome parts and stainless trim were refurbished. The paint is a custom acrylic urethane that was applied by Moore Street Auto Body of San Diego, California. The hood has been nosed, the trunk lid was decked, and the chrome bumpers were smoothed. White and blue pinstriping by Robert Gagnon adorns the hood, the fender tops, and the trunk lid. The car also has tri-bar halogen headlamps, dual side mirrors, and dual tailpipes. A paint chip on the nose of the car, a chip and a blemish on the hood, and a paint chip near the lower-right corner of the trunk lid are noted.

    Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear polished hubcaps and trim rings and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. A dropped front subframe from Fatman Fabrications works in conjunction with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, tubular control arms, coil springs, gas shocks, and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension utilizes parallel leaf springs and 2.5” lowering blocks, and the frame rails are from a 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk. Braking is provided by 11″ General Motors front discs and 11″ Ford rear drums. The steering rack was repaired under current ownership.

    The interior uses components sourced from the aforementioned 1962 Studebaker. The front bucket seats and the rear bench are upholstered in black and silver-colored vinyl complemented by matching door panels and a black dashboard and carpeting. A Studebaker-branded push-button radio is fitted in the dash. Vintage Air climate control was added under prior ownership. The interior also features bright trim, an armrest center console, a clock, a fold-down rear armrest, and Studebaker-branded rubber floor mats.

    An aftermarket steering wheel is fitted to an Ididit collapsible column. Stewart-Warner gauges consist of a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring fuel level, battery voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 2k miles, approximately 400 of which have been added under current ownership; true mileage is unknown.

    The 348ci Chevrolet big-block V8 is said to have been manufactured in the late 1950s and was overbored .030″ under previous ownership, the intake and exhaust ports were cleaned, and the rotating assembly was balanced. The work was performed by GES Engineering in San Diego. The engine is topped by a trio of Rochester 2G carburetors and features Offenhauser finned valve covers, 9:1 Egge pistons, stock Chevrolet cylinder heads, electronic ignition, an aftermarket hydraulic camshaft, and tubular exhaust headers. A larger radiator and auxiliary electric cooling fans were installed in 2021. The V-belts were replaced in October 2024, and an exhaust manifold was repaired the next month. The oil was changed most recently in 2025.

    A Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission with a TransGo shift kit directs power to the rear wheels via a narrowed Ford 9″ rear end that houses 3.25:1 gears and is attached to Dutchman Axles and a custom driveshaft.

    The car was featured in the August 2007 issue of Rod & Custom magazine, a copy of which will accompany the vehicle.

    The Pennsylvania title carries an “Antique Vehicle” brand.
