1989 Mercedes Color Restoration
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1989 Mercedes 190e. This car came into our lot with a mismatched fender, instead of matching just the fender, the owner decided to refinish the entire car black, and lose the grey "Two Tone", with our Enamel paint package and had this classic Mercedes shining like new again!

1972 Datsun 510 Color Restoration
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1972 Datsun 510. This classic car came to us in hideous condition, the paint had been sanded off years ago causing the bare metal to rust very quickly, and there was lots of unfinished body work! We repaired a few major dents and unfinished body work that the customer requested, scuffed up the existing bare metal surfaces, sealed everything with a primer, and painted the whole car with our Enamel paint in its original blue color!

Ferrari F40 Destroyed
This is downright painful to watch. Video of Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day: a Ferrari F40. Created to celebrate the Ferrari company's 40th anniversary and designed to be the world's greatest supercar. Only 1,315 were made from 1987 to 1992. Buyers reportedly paid anywhere from US $400,000 to US $1,600,000 and the cars still trade for that much today. WreckedExotics.com reports that the Ferrari was returning from a car show in Vancouver, Canada when the driver lost control in the rain and hit a pole. The car is valuable enough that it will probably be rebuilt but the video shows that there is a lot of work that will need to be done.

Fastest 1957 Pontiac In The World
Happy Labor Day! To celebrate, our good friend, Mark Crutcher, gave us some recent photos of his 1957 Pontiac Chieftain 2-door hardtop. This is the same car featured in High Performance Pontiac. Mark claims it is the fastest 1957 Pontiac in the world with stock suspension designed in 1940 and a genuine Pontiac engine. To back-up the claim, he points to his 1/4 mile times at Speedworld Dragstrip in Whittmann, Arizona: 11.51 seconds at 114.39 mph--about the same as a McLaren F1, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ford GT, Nissan GT-R, or Porsche 911 Turbo. We won't argue.
Thanks, Mark!

What's IN that thing?!! A 455 cubic inch Pontiac engine, bored to 470. |
Thanks, Mark!
