Part of the fun and mystique of owning collector cars whether they are muscle cars, sports cars, hot rods or rat rods are the stories behind them. The stories about how they were acquired, about the breakdowns, about the special trips and especially about the people encountered along the way. The Mission of our site is about helping you make your car a Legend.

When you go to a car show all you usually see are cars lined up and looking good. It is fun and you get to see some wonderful cars up close. In recent years many of the larger events have added cruises down the streets some even with open exhaust. Some shows have added burn [...]

John Force NHRA Champion and one of the real Good Guys

I just got back from visiting the John Force Race Station compound in Yorba Linda California and it just reminds me how much Katina and I think of this racer. It seems so many racers are all about money and fame. Obviously John Force has plenty of both but it is also obvious he is [...]
