We’ve been chronicling the build of our 1976 Chevy K5 Blazer over the past couple issues, and the process continues this month as the crew at Two Guys Restorations in North Adams, Massachusetts begins to get into the details.

Our weekly perusal of the offerings in the marketplace at Hemmings.com has yielded another batch of dream machines, this time with fairly disparate origins. One of them touches on a recurring theme here: A special car that was brand-new not so long ago, but which we missed out on during its brief stay in showrooms.

It’s pretty standard among the car-obsessed among to harbor aspirations of driving competitively, and that means the idea of a race car always holds some appeal.
