• A Dino 246 GTS is a desirable collector car. This one just happens to be a Cannonball winner too. • It was driven across the country from New York to Los Angeles in 1975 in just under 36 hours. • Original and unrestored, this well-preserved example of 1970s road rebellion will go on the block at a Mecum auction during Monterey Car Week in August. On April 25, 1975, Jack May and Rick Cline rolled into the parking lot of the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, California.

Great small car with a non-small price tag • You can save this article by registering for free here. Or sign-in if you have an account. Article contentThe average consumer can be forgiven for not remembering that Honda was first to offer a mass-production hybrid vehicle to the North American market.

Problem was, the Insight was a bit of a science project, quirky and of limited practicality.

The Charger Daytona is a homologation special for stock car racing. This example was the price for setting a qualifying record at Alabama International Motor Speedway in 1969. The original owner competed in 48 NASCAR races and was the first driver to broadcast live on air from inside the cockpit during a race. To the casual muscle-car fan, seeing a pointy nose and a tall rear wing on a big-body Mopar heralds the arrival of a Plymouth Superbird.

Here's a fine-looking early BMW 5-series that checks a lot of boxes. It's not an M5, but it does feature an inline-six, a five-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. It also boasts exceptionally low mileage and condition to match. The E28 BMW 5-series is mostly known as the debut of the BMW M5. That car is by now a legend, noted for its mighty 3.5-liter inline-six. If it's a racehorse, here's a car from the same bloodline that's a bit more domesticated, but still loves to trot.

An empty desert. A ringing pay phone. A rookie agent. A grizzled criminal, torn between loyalties. Wavering in the heat shimmer of hot tarmac, the recognizable rumble of Mopar muscle. So begins HBO Max's new eight-episode 1970s crime thriller Duster, which is currently rolling out in June. No spoilers (apart from the one on the back of the titular, window-rattling Plymouth), but if you're a fan of Vanishing Point or Starsky and Hutch, you're going to want to catch this one.
