Dean Jeffries Mantaray
This amazing looking street rod was built by Jeffries in 1963 and first hit the car show scene on February 14, 1964.  Jeffries had quite a life leading up to the point where built the Manataray.  The motor and race ready trans in this car today were given to him as partial payment for his work with Carroll Shelby in the desugn of the original Cobra.  Jefferies not only worked hand in hand with Shelby, but he was 'The Kid' in the duo 'Von Dutch and The Kid' (if that won't give him cred in the car world, nothing will).  Being built on the frame of a Maserati Formula 1 race car and powered by an original Cobra motor and trans are just two of the nearly unlimited number of cool facts about this car.  If you wanna read more, learn more and see more about this car and the genius who built it, you have gotta read the Street Rodder Article about them, from February of 2009.
Gene Hair's 1938 Pontiac
After featuring a new Camaro yesterday, that was built to resemble a classic Pontiac, I figured this would be a good day too actually feature a Pontiac...and not just some random GTO or Firebird...I have chosen for today's POTD a truly beautiful car.  Everything from interior to paint and body has been properly attended too.  Next too the color, (which I just loved) my favorite thing about this car was the inside door panels.  I love the curve and flow of the arm rests and the stitched indian head with chrome accents.  That indian is so subtle that you might even miss it unless someone points it out.  I also noticed the registration and state inspection stickers on this beauty were about 8 months old and coming up for renewal soon.  If I had this car in my garage, it would see plenty of cruise action....after all, how can you leave such a thing hidden away from the world?
2012 Pontiac GTO (by OTTO Body)

GM has had to make some tough and often unpopular choices in recent years.  One of those choices was to allow the death of the Pontiac name plate.  It truly was a sad day in my house and for millions of other fans of the brand.  So, does today's POTD show that Pontiac is making a comeback?  Has GM revived the once dead line?  The answer, sadly is, 'NO'.

Yesterdays POTD was a classic 1969 Camaro that someone had transformed into something it never was and according to some, something it never should have been.  Today's POTD is a brand new Camaro that has been transformed into something retro.  The bright orange 1969 GTO Judge.  The company that does these conversions (OTTO Body Conversions) does an incredible job of bringing back the style, flare and good looks of one of Pontiacs best cars ever.  But this comes with a serious price tag.  The rep I spoke to said that if the customer provided the Camaro, there was about a 3 month turn around and he could drive out in his new 'GTO'....that is after paying the hefty 48K price tag....that is above the cost of the new Camaro.  While these are certainly AWESOME cars to look at and appeared to be built with tremendous amounts of skill and attention to detail, when you begin nearing the 100K mark for a car, it becomes a whole different ball game.  But, if I had silly money, I'd just have to have one...and right beside it, I'd park a Trans Am conversion.

Brent Ashton's 1969 Camaro

The idea each person has for their dream car is different.  Today's POTD is a shining example of that very theory.  It appears that this Camaro was built in the post-apocolyptic era...you know, the one where roving bands of marauders patrol the streets killing and stealing...but on those streets you may also find Mad Max as the Good Guy/Anti-Hero....or in this case it may be Brent showing up in his '69 to save the day, protect the gasoline and win the fair maidens heart.

As I stood around this car snapping some pictures and talking to those who were also checking out this very different, very unique build, one thing was quite evident.  Nobody was ho-hum or lack-luster about their feelings towards this car.....almost all the views were to one extreme or the other.....they either loved it....or they hated it.  The body and black paint were VERY well done and it was obvious that lots of time and skill went into that......it was the engine cover and interior that left so many scratching their heads.  One comment I heard was, "Now that's different, I think that's cool"....but another comment I heard was, "Somebody is gonna have to spend a ton of money to fix this car and make it a Camaro again, but they have a great looking body to start with."

It really doesn't matter which side of the fence you are on with this build because all that matters is that Brent likes it....

  Pic Of The Day
1931 Ford
Todays POTD is not really a hot-rod...you would have to really stretch it to try and qualify this as a hot-rod...but I just loved it, so here it is.  As I was looking this car over, it has the old  four cylinder flattie, which really give this car it's style and that very distinct sound as it motors down the road...but when I got to the rear of the car I noticed an additional 'radiator' under the rear with an electric fan on it.  upon closer examination I noticed that there was an under dash mounted A/C unit in the car and that is what this was for...the A/C.  I will just let you check out the dozen or more shots I took of this car.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Mallett 435 C5 Corvette

When I first saw this 'Vette, it was the hood that caught my attention.  When I looked a bit closer, that is when I noticed the 'Mallett 435' badging.  Now I am no Corvette guru, but I did know that there was something special about this one....I just didn't know what.  So I snapped a few pics and came home and did a little research.  I'm not gonna try to sound like an expert here, and spout out a bunch of numbers and figures...but what I will do is pass along the info I found.  Mallett Cars is a company that specializes in turning C5 'Vettes into  ground pounding super cars.  Here's the spec's of a standard '435' package

    Plymouth Road Runner (beep beep)
    There aren't to cars or car manufacturers that could get away with naming there car after a bird that is actually a member of the cuckoo family...but Mopar did it with the Road Runner.  And man. did they do it.  Not only did this car become popular then, but is an icon of the era.  Today's POTD is another fine example of this creation.  There were so many different engine options and variations from this era of mopar that it was almost as if every car was a one of a kind....actually, that may be stretching it a bit, but unlike the uber-popular Camaro of this time that built 100's of thousand of them, the Mopars were much smaller production numbers and therefore not as often seen then or today.  So the next time your at a car show or local cruise-in, remember that....
    '37 Ford

    There was so much to like about this car.  Unlike so many of the cars from this era, this one has not been chopped or had lots of body modifications.  The only one I really noticed was the shaved door handles and trunck handle.  The exterior of this car is done in minimalist style.  They didn't go over-board with chrome or paint.  It has just the right touches of chrome and very subtle orange stripping that goes perfectly with the orange steel wheels.  The tear drop shaped headlights and the ever so gentle body line throught the front fenders give this car a kind of style that is just not seen on cars today.  When you open the door and step inside, though, that is when the gloves comes off.  This interior is head and shoulders above what I was expecting on the inside of this one.  Beautifully done with just the right color combination and style.  I was suprised to see a shifter in the floor.  For some reason I was just expecting this to be an automatic car.  Just goes to show you that you never what to expect from the mind of a real car guy.....

    Impala Built By Barris Customs
    This beautiful Impala is a 'Barris Customs' creation.  After arriving home the day these pictures were taken, I was saddened to find that I had not taken any pictures of the interior.  I have no idea how that happened.  It was very cold that morning (mid 30's) and I had arrived in my convertible IROC Z with the top down, so I am gonna blame it on a frozen brain.  But the pictures I did take, do show off some of the really nice touches the experts at 'Barris' put on this iconic Chevy.  I hope you enjoy it.
    A Split Window Z06?

    I have seen many resto mods and pro-touring cars take a modern suspension and running gear and put them in an old car.  This keeps the looks and styling of days gone by and gives you the handling and steering capabilities of modern times.....but todays POTD did kinda the same thing but from the other direction.  What do I mean you ask?  Well, this car started out as a Corvette Z06.  Interior, running gear and drive train are still the Z06....but the exterior has been 're-bodied', grafted, modified, sculpted....I'm not really sure how they did to it...but it's a '63 split window coupe.  There are still lots of Z06 areas on the outside.  Like the roof and doors...but rear and front have been re-worked.  The windshield appears to still be stock Z06 along with the dash and console.  This thing even has the heads-up display still in it....I really liked this car.  I hope you do too.

    '36 Chevy Custom
    The term 'custom' is thrown around in the car hobby pretty liberally.  I'm not exactly sure what would qualify a car as a custom or what would disqualify a car, but I am pretty sure today's POTD has got to be one.  The only chrome on the outside body of this car is the grill.  The custom grill, that is.  The door handles have been shaved, the taillights have been integrated into the body and the area for the license plate has been worked over.  The addition of body colored rear view mirrors is also a very nice touch that many would not notice.  Inside the vehicle takes this build to the next level.  The seat door panels and over head are all finished is very soft leather with a color that is a perfect compliment to the awesome color sprayed on the exterior.  There are just enough chrome touches inside to give it a look of elegance without making it a full days work to ready this one for a show.  But my favorite custom touch on this old Chevy has got to be the dash/gauge cluster.  I have seen digital dashes and custom clusters, but never one quite like this.  It is beautiful...what more can I say.  The inspection sticker and the registration sticker on this car were brand new, so I'd guess that either it's a fresh build or a fresh aquisitiion.  Either way, it sure is a nice one.
    Pontiac GTO
    GM may have 'killed' Pontiac, but they can't kill the 'Pontiac Spirit'.  Over the last several years, the number of Pontiacs I have been seeing at shows has been declining, but the quality of those I do see has been climbing.  I'm not sure if that is a result of the demise of the brand or simply a coincidence.  One may have nothing to with the other or the two may be directly linked.  This observation is also based solely on my own personal observations and is not based on actual scientific evidence or any real counting.  This is also an observation only of shows in my area, here in the heart of Texas.  Either way, I am seeing fewer and fewer of these great American cars.  Todays POTD is a fine example of the kind of cars that used to be much more prevalent.  So the next time you go to a show or your local 'cruise-in', look around and see how many Pontiacs are there.  Do you notice their numbers diminishing?  Are there fewer than in the past?  It makes me wonder if the 'big-money' collectors are snatching them up and storing them away...you just never know.
    Rod's 1970 'Cuda
    Today marks yet another first for HotRodsNow.com.  Today is the first time I have ever put a car on as POTD that has been featured there before.  This car was featured back at the very beginning, when POTD was still very new and there were no archives of past cars featured as POTD.  The reason I am running this car again is in response to a viewer request.  The request was this: 'What car was the fastest you have ever been in a car and can you feature that car as POTD?'  That question comes from my very good friend, Rob in Tennessee.  The fastest I have ever been in a car was 140mph.  I was not driving at the time, I was just a passenger, but I do have pics of that car and this is it.  A 1970 'Cuda Pro-Touring car built by Rodney Moore of Rods Car Craft.  The car has a fuel injected 440 backed with a 4L60E trans.  It has two on board computers to monitor and control this beast.  It has won several awards including the 'Snap-On Innovation Award' at Good Guys.  I could go on and on about this dream machine.  I watched this car come together and was amazed at every turn.  You can also watch a video of this build that can be found on our 'Hot Rods Page'.
    A Little Red Wagon
    It was hard to tear myself away from this gem.  I could have spent all day looking this car over...I am sure there were lots of touches I missed.  Besides the obvious bright red paint to get my attention, it was the perfection in the engine bay that really struck me...but we'll come back to that in a minute.  The exterior of this car was just about flawless.  The deep red paint glimmered and made the sun literally dance off of it.  The long panels on both sides were flat and smooth as glass.  The bumpers were so shiny you had to be careful not to look directly at them...okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but those darn things were looked like they had just come from the plater that morning.  Now lets talk about the engine bay.  I am a huge fan of a really tidy engine bay and this wagon took that theme to the nth degree.  Clean, shiny and everything in it's place and mostly out of sight.  I don't have to tell you...just look at the picture.  I hope to see this car at lots of events and shows this season...I really want to spend some more time looking it over from top to bottom.
    1969 ZL1 COPO 9560 (Tribute)
    The reason I didn't call this car a clone is because a 'clone' by definition is an exact replica of the original.  This car is far from a clone, but has been built in very similar fashion to the '69 ZL1.  There were only 69 ZL1's built and of those only two had the RS package.  One was Cortez silver and the other was blue with a white vinyl top.  But that aside, this is one sweet car.  Many liberties were taken with this build to make it the dream car that never was, and in my opinion is a fantastic job.  The clock in the dash, the deluxe interior and the houndstooth seats were never put on any ZL1 but look fabulous on this 'Tribute'.  The ZL1 badges tell the world, and more importantly, the guy in the next lane what you brought to the line.  Most ZL1's back in the day had dog dish hub caps, no badges and were equiped with 'plain Jane' interiors.  They epitomized the phrase 'Sleeper'.  It may sound as though I am not a fan of this car, when actually it is exactly the opposite.  This was one of my favorite cars of the hundreds that were at this gathering.  But I am also a huge fan of the real ZL1's and find it hard to keep from talking about them anytime the subject comes up.  Tomorrow on our home page we will fetaure an article all about the real thing....don't miss it.
    Ronald Johnson's 1947 Lincoln
    Ronald's Lincoln is another fine example of the correct way to mix old styling with modern comfort, technology and reliabillity.  The power plant is up to date, but isn't the overly chromed out version you see so many times.  It is simply a clean modern motor.  The dash still looks very much the way it did in '47 when this car hit the road, but the seats and center console are all modern versions.  The tail lights have been frenched (which looks great).  The headlights may or may not have been reworked.  I don't know enough about these cars to tell, but if they have been modified it is very subtle and looks exactly right.  The painted grill and big chrome bumpers give the face of this great ride the perfect amount of shine.  The big fat fenders are what makes this car.....it's hard to top that styling que from this era.  I could go on and on about what makes this car great...but I'll just let you check out the pictures and see for yourself.
    Carlos Escoredo's 1973 Maverick

    James Garner played 'Bret Maverick'....John McCain and Sarah Palin claimed to be Mavericks...but my favorite Maverick by far was the one that Ford produced from 1970 to 1977.  It's the only Ford I've ever owned and was one of the most fun cars I've had since.  Mine was a straight six, 4-door grocery getter and I literally 'drove it to death'.  Today's POTD is a 1973 version that Carlos has turned into the kind of fun car I always imagined mine was.  From the outside it seems quite tame, but under the hood is a V8 that is sure to propel this small little car fast enough for plenty of good times.  The rear suspension has some old school brackets on it to get it 'jacked-up' in the back.  Besides the B&M shifter that show's Carlos means business, there is a gauge the size of a small dinner plate mounted right in the center of the dash so it's easy to see while tearing up the local strip.  But my favorite feature about this car is the curving winding moulding on the sides.  Lots of cars have moulding, but how many of them have moulding that bends and turns the way this does.  I'm sure it seems silly to like that the most about this car, but hey....you like what you like...what can I say.

    Rex Townsends '56 Convertible
    As the old saying goes, 'when the top comes down, the price goes up'.  This '56 Chevy is one superior ride.  The brilliant orange and white color combo is just about perfect.  The highly detailed interior makes this car.  It still has a classic looking dash but a completely modern centerconsole to give it that 'just right' mix of old and new.  Under the hood is enough chrome to make the guy detailing this engine and engine bay cry.  After all, to shine like that, somebody has got to polish it.  It is very clear that no corners were cut in the building of this awesome awesome Bel-Air.  Congrats Rex...this is one the best.
    Roses Are Red
    It says on the deck lid of this car that 'Roses Are Red'....well this Impala is also red...very red.  This car is done in a more classic style.  Complete with Craiger Classic SS wheels and radial T/A's.  This car was just about perfect.  Not over done, not under done...it was just right.  But my favorite feature on this car has got to be the super clean 327 under the hood with the triple dueces.  Every builder, collector and car lover has a different idea of what their perfect car/build would be.  Some appeal to the masses and some only to a select few, but this car got it right.  I can't imagine anyone not liking this car just the way it is......sure everybody has some things they would do different or change about it, I'm sure.  But over all, this is a car anyone could enjoy and be proud to be seen in.
    A Rusty Jewel
    The event where I ran across this Chevy had several just like this one...well, not just like it.  Some were completely restored back to all original...some were done up as resto-mods and a couple were somewhere in between...but they were all restored/refurbished, beautiful, shiny, polished cars....all except this one.  And this one was my favorite of them all.  The interior was in the same shape as the extrerior and the hood was never raised so I don't know what was going on under there, but I did hear it when it came in and it sounded mean.  My guess is that it isn't your typical chromed-out, spotless engine and engine bay.  I would guess it's a dirty dusty motor possibly with a few cob-webs and even a leak here or there...and that is what I love about it...the not knowing...the wild imaginings.  This one probably won't win any awards like this, but I would put it near the top my list of favorite cars I saw this day.  That's why I called it a 'Rusty Jewel'...
    A True Beauty
    I pulled this picture from deep in my archives.  I have no real info on the car, but I just love this picture.  The day I took it, it was very sunny, and a bit warmer than I had expected it to be that afternoon.  The paint on this car was near flawless...I knew I had to have a picture of it.  What I didn't know was the how the sun was going to show up as it danced of this slick, shiny paint.  There is NO PHOTSHOP in this picture.  It is exactly as the camera saw it.  The bright Texas sun made it sparkle and shimmer...not a computer program.  I hope you like it as much as I do.
    1967 RS/SS Camaro
    There are lots of things to love about this car.  Being a hardcore fan of the first gen Camaro, this car holds a special place in my heart.  Aside from being a triple black convertible, this car has lots and lots of upgrades to make it a real driver.  Modern A/C has been added to this to keep it cool in the Texas heat.  The power plant has a great look, especially that alternator bracket and intake.  It's clean and uncluttered under the hood without being over done.  You wont need three or four hours to detail this engine bay.  The outside of the car is subtle.  The wrap around, white stripe on the nose is accented with a touch of red in the RS emblem there.  The only other badges I saw on the outside of this car are the 'Camaro' badges on the front fender and the SS gas cap.  Inside is an all leather interior and custom door panels, but they still used the original style 'Camaro' emblems on the door panels.....it just looks classy.  Outback they have LED tail lights that give it that slightly different look.  This car is just beautiful...there is no other word to describe it....BEAUTIFUL.
    '23 T Bucket
    The epitome of a Hot-Rod is what you see here as today's POTD.  After all, a '23 is the icon in our logo.  This one comes complete with wheelie bars.  When your T-Bucket has wheelie bars, you know you're in for some fun on those weekend cruises.  Just the idea of needing them get's my adrenaline pumping.  If you have ever driven one of these things, you can imagine the rush of speed, acceleration and most importantly, the danger associated with driving this beast so hard that it's doing wheel stands.  That is just going for it...and I LOVE IT!!!
    1972 Heavy Chevy

    In the last half of '71 and all of '72 Chevy built a total of somewhere around 21,000 of these 'Heavy Chevy's'.  On November 10, 1971 Larry Calton purchased this car brand new and he still owns it today.  As an entry level sports car of the day, it is a cross between the Malibu and the SS Chevelle.  It shared things like the dome hood, round sport gauges and a 12 bolt rear just like the SS models but lacked the 'bling' of the higher end cars.  14 inch wheels with no trim rings, a lack of stripes and no body chrome was standard for this model.  Introduced mid year in 1971 and then ending production in 1972 makes finding one of these cars quite rare...especially one that hasn't been chopped up as a dragster or had the original motor replaced. 

    Robert Jones' 1970 Dodge Charger 500
    Not every great Hot-Rod is a custom or highly modified car.  There was a day when you could buy a real Hot-Rod right off the shiowroom floor with out selling a kidney or robbing a bank.  In 1970 one way to do that was to go to the local Mopar dealership.  Almost all the Mopars of that era were small production number runs, not like GM with the Camaro or Ford with the Mustang, where they pumped them out like a chicken on steriods pumping out eggs.  The difference was choice and options....if you went to GM or Ford, there were only a couple different models to choose from if you wanted a truly cool car....but with the Mopar guys, there were literally a dozen or more different models you could order with a multitude of different engine and trans combinations.  The car you see here is a Charger with a 383 Magnum and a 4 speed with pistol grip.  The motor put out 335hp which was very respectable and could propel this massive car fast enough to make any owner proud.  The 8.75" 'Sure Grip' rear made putting that power to the ground a breeze and put all the 'one wheel wonders' in their place.  this one has had some updating on the dash, but it didn't take away from the original feel of this car...it only enhanced it. 
    John William's 1956 Ford Ranch Wagon

    Talk about a good mix of old and new.  This wagon has all the looks from those beautiful 50's cars (big chrome bumpers, two tone paint) and all the creature comforts and modern technology to make it dependable and fun to drive.  The floor shifter, at first glance, makes you think it's a manual transmission, but this sweet cruiser has an auto tranny.  Under the hood is a super clean engine bay with an up to date Ford powerplant.  It has a very utilitarian dash with a minimum of gauges to moniter, and an A/C system to keep it chiily in the hot Texas summer.  The two tone theme is continued on the inside and is complimented with a perfect color combo on the seats and doors to match the color combo of the paint.  All in all, this car was about as near to perfect as you can get.  I loved this one.  All I need now is a surfboard, a cooler full of beverages, a beach blanket and a set big waves.......

    Jerry Tyler's 1955 Ford COE
    This is one truck that stands head and shoulders above all the rest and not just because it is literally taller than most.  This 1955 Ford is all hand built by the owner.  I had a chance to speak Jerry the day I took these photo's.  He is a very personable guy who loves his truck and loves to talk about it.  This was not the first time I hade seen this truck.  I actually have photo's of this from almost a year before this when I saw it at Autorama in Dallas last year.  It wasn't quite this far along, but you could see where Jerry going with it.  The custom bed is simply a work of art.  I don't know where the start.  It is all steel, custom fabrication.  The tailgate, the bed rails, the recessed license plate, the tail lights....the list could go on and we are still just talking about the bed.  I absolutely love the 'skinny girl, skinny truck' painting on the back of the cab, but it's the inside of the cab that will make your eyes pop.....the dash, steering column, door panels, etc. etc. have been left mostly unmolested and it still sports a long bench seat....but everything sparkles with all the gold flake inside.  Door panels, seat, dash...all these are painted or covered with shimmering metal flake gold.....kinda made me feel like I was in Vegas...okay, maybe not Vegas, but I still think it was the kind of sparkly you don't usually see in a truck...especially in the state of Texas.  But the sparkles did nothing to detract from the sheer beauty of this truck.  So if you see this truck around, be sure to stop and check it out.  And if Jerry is around, just ask him one question, any question, about his truck.  That will get him started and once he gets started it's hard to slow him down.  I'd like to thank Jerry for building this beautiful truck and for taking the time to tell me all about it.
    The Definition Of 'Hot-Rod'
    Over the decades, as the Car Culture has grown and evolved, we keep seeing the introduction of new terms and the redefining of others.  50 or 60 years ago when this hobby was really taking off, there was no such thing as a Pro-Touring Hot-Rod, or how about a Rat-Rod....when did that become a 'class' of car?  Today we have a 'Survivor' class, a Resto-Mod class, there is Pro-Street, Pro-Stock, Pro-Touring...I am hoping one day to build a 'Pro-Pro-Car'....okay, maybe not, but you get my point.  This website is all about hot-rods....ALL HOT-RODS.  But today's POTD is an example what I think is the 'Classic Definition' of what a Hot-Rod  truly is.  I have owned cars from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's that I truly considered Hot-Rods, because they were...but it is this style and this era of car that made Hot-Rodding what it is today.
    Straight Line 'Cuda
    Some cars are built as a cruiser, some are more of a show piece and then there are the straight line cars.  You know, a car that is built to be at it's best when it is going in a straight line with the pedal mashed all the way to the floor.  I believe today's POTD is just such a car.  I don't come to that conclusion simply by looking at a car, although many times that is all thats needed to determine that.  I make that call about this car because I was standing there when they drove this cammed-up, loping beast into the lot.  It sounded very mean and horsepower was practically dripping off the car.  There was no doubt there had been quite a bit of time and effort put into the motor.  But lot's of cars have high hp motors.  So what makes me call this a straight line car?  It was the turn he made to go down the aisle of parking spots.  When he made that 90 degree left hand turn he was dragging the tires.  Both rear wheels were chirping and sliding even though he was only going 3 or 4 mph.  It was as if the rear axle was solid.  There is only one good reason to have that kind of an axle/differential.  And that is to make this car go straight when you send massive amounts of torque and hp to the rear wheels.
    Flaming Chuck Wagon
    I'm not sure why this flamed out longroof has 'Chuck Wagon' painted on it's rear.  Do you suppose he actually drives around in this thing and feeds cowboys?  Or maybe the guy who owns this wagon is named Chuck?  It really doesn't matter why it's painted there....what matters is how great this car looks from any angle.  It's just one of many I saw the day I took this photo.  I hope you like it.
    Where Did All The Pictures Go??
    The POTD page was becoming quite large, so I have moved all the previous POTD photo's to the 'Pic Archives' page.  I kept them all in the same order they were and left in all the photos, info and blurbs.  Be sure to check them out.
