The very idea of the existence of extraterrestrial life excites the minds of people throughout the entire existence of human civilization. There is a theory that life itself on Earth originated, being brought from space. According to one theory, life on Earth appeared after one of the celestial bodies brought it to the Blue Planet from space. Proponents of this theory have recently received confirmation of their ideas. This happened during a careful examination of meteorites with the help of modern technology. Complex molecules have already been found in fallen meteorites, and in the current study, scientists managed to find…

NASA knows how to keep secrets. Everyone, down to the cleaners and cooks, signs non-disclosure papers when they get a job there. Therefore, everything related to NASA always has a hint of mysticism and fantasy. In a long interview on radio, Norman Bergrun, a former NASA employee at the age of 89, spoke about the many alien civilizations in space. But the most interesting thing is that Norman told about a distant planet – Neptune. According to him, on this planet, the ice cover is about 2.5-3 kilometers, and there is liquid water under it, only with a different chemical…
A world-renowned scientist and former engineer of the United States Air Force and Boeing Company, using a telescope, photographed a UFO with a diameter of 250 meters flying at a speed of 48,000 km / h. But this is just one of the huge UFOs, of which many more have been recorded. According to Frederick Portigal, this is absolute proof that the aliens are already here. This data has been confirmed as authentic by the US National Air and Space Intelligence Agency (NASIC). Frederick Portigal, a former US Air Force and Boeing engineer, captured UFO images and data with a…
This car is a true 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350 F85 sport coupe with a VIN to back it up. By 1970, American muscle cars had fully matured with such rides as the high horsepower Chevy Chevelle, GTO Judge and Hemi ’Cuda.By this time, insurance companies had started to realize that these “race-ready” machines coming from Detroit didn’t jive with the low premiums that they were charging. All of that changed quickly and the future new emissions standards and required unleaded fuel slowed any more development of the big-block V-8 powered American muscle car.To skirt the new higher insurance premiums, Detroit…
Gas prices soared from a quarter to a dollar a gallon, and long lines formed as drivers tried to get a few precious gallons before the sign “Out of Gas” was placed on the pump.The time was 1973 and Pontiac, who started the muscle car era in 1964 with the GTO, was singing the swan song of high performance with the introduction of the 455 Super Duty that available as an option in the Trans AM and the Firebird Formula. Rated at 310 horsepower this power plant was all new: from the block, which featured reinforced webbing with four-bolt mains,…
Interested in restoring Muscle Cars from the 60s?This has been a hobby for many people and for quite some time now.

To many, the styling of the 1967 Super Sport Chevelle was about as good as it got. Just sitting there, those smooth lines speak of flashing speed. It was basically an update of the ’66 model with a single horizontal bar grille. On the rear of the car, the taillights were relocated in fender caps on the backs of the rear quarters. On the current national auction blocks, these models are extremely popular drawing huge figures, especially those with the high-performance powerplants. And this ’67 hardtop is certainly one of those desired machines with a the top-gun L78 375 horse…
During the building of the GT-500 Shelby Mustangs, there were a number of different influences which produced some sizable differences between the models. First of all, the initial ’67 GT-500 was built in California, the same location as the small-block GT-350 models. The production was accomplished on airport property, and the lease was up. The decision was then made to move Shelby production to Michigan. For the 1968 model, all were shipped in a partially assembled state from a New Jersey assembly plant to A.O. Smith in Livonia, Michigan where the production process was completed. The ’68 GT-500 was unique in that it…
One of the most overused clichés in the vintage Ford hobby is that four letter word “rare”. Some folks insist on torturing it to fit cars that were cranked out like potato chips.But we don’t think anybody would object if we refer to Steve Honell’s ’70 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II as rare. None were built. This Competition Orange knockout, sleek and packed with Boss 429 power, came close but was never put into production. A pity too. This was to be Mercury’s version of FoMoCo’s next-generation aero design, taking over from the very successful Torino Talladega and Cyclone Spoiler II.…
The National Motor Vehicle Co., formed in 1900 in Indianapolis, was well established as one of America’s leading four-cylinder automobile manufactured by the time the company debuted the $4,000 six-cylinder Model E in 1906. The National Model E was the first six-cylinder car to be sold in the United States. This particular car boasts an exciting history with a connection to the evocative Wild West. Its first owner, Walter Scott, was a famous hoaxer known as ‘The Fastest Con in the West. ‘ He toured with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and became a folk hero. This car was acquired…
The LaSalle was created when General Motors President Alfred M. Sloan spotted a void between the high-end Cadillac and Buick. Legendary GM designer Harley Earl was brought to the company to design the first LaSalle (1927) and shortly thereafter formed the first design department, initially known as the Art and Colour Department. This is a very significant LaSalle for two reasons: it is a one-of-a-kind automobile and remains in its original unrestored condition. It retains its original paint, upholstery and top. This Cadillac LaSalle Sport Phaeton was specially ordered for Doctor Nichols of York Harbor, Maine who was the original…
