    The Ford Thunderbird is undoubtedly an American auto icon. The ‘bird featured today was gifted to retired NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon back in 1991 after he won the Busch Series Rookie of the Year Award, and it’s currently up for auction on Cars and Bids. It’s got front-engine and rear-wheel drive, and an Essex 3.8-liter supercharged V6 with 210 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately the seller isn’t Jeff Gordon – but the glove box is signed by him. Check it out, right here.

  5. 1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback Cobra Jet

    Tom Scarpello joins our favorite host in the garage today and brings with him a 1968 Mustang GT. This blue beauty has been completely reproduced as opposed to replicated, meaning it’s the real deal and has the DNA of an original but has been evolved to be like new. Under the hood is a current production GT engine that’s been supercharged to produce 710-hp. Check out the episode below to hear why Jay says he’d rather have this ride than a McLaren any day. Enjoy.
