    48: John Barnes - 1969 Mustang

    What started out as a would-be parts car in 2019, John Barnes and his brother William started building a 1969 Mustang coupe into a monster of a CAM-T car. After beating the snot out of the 289 for years, John decided it was time to go all in with a Coyote swap coupled to a BMW DCT to push the Meier front suspension and Cobra IRS to the limits.

    47: Greg Huizenga - 1975 Jeep Cherokee

    You aren’t likely to find Greg Huizenga’s Jeep Cherokee typical Jeep things. Instead, you will find it ripping around cones on an autocross, or blasting down the dragstrip printing sub 10 second time slips courtesy of the compound turbo Gen 3 Hemi under the hood. This isn’t a race Jeep, he’s racked up tens of thousands of street miles along the way.

    42: Ryan McPartlin - 1967 Plymouth Valiant

    How many barn-find muscle cars are returned to driving status? I’d say not many. Ryan McPartlin’s 1967 Plymouth Valiant was rescued from a llama barn and revived but only for a short amount of time, then eventually put out in the field to die. Fortunately, Ryan was able to rescue the car from its previous owner to give it another life. This life would be much more exciting since Ryan’s plan was to use it as a cruiser and an occasional autocross.
