Old Cars has everything for the vintage car enthusiast

Car of the Week: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Mustang enthusiast and collector Kelly Schultz has bought more than 100 Boss 302 Ford Mustangs since 1987, many of them after creating his side business, Kelly's Muscle Cars, in Follett, Texas. In 2018, Schultz acquired a 1970 Boss 302 out of Shreveport, La., that appealed to him because of its Calypso Coral paint color that reminded him of a favorite Boss from his past. The seller advised Kelly that Calypso Coral was not the car's original color, but that didn't bother Kelly in the least. He preferred that bright orange shade on a Boss 302, and he planned to use this car as a driver rather than a show car. "Whoever painted the car did a good job of stripping the original paint," Kelly says. "But I did spot small remnants of metallic green from the factory paint."  The Boss's certification label on its left door has a blank color code and six-digit District Sales Office (DSO) code, confirming that it had been specially ordered in a non-Mustang color; that makes it one of just 64 "Special Paint" Boss 302s built for 1970.

The first woman to take a Corvette up Pikes Peak to attend Corvettes at Carlisle CARLISLE, PA – In 2025, it's hard to believe there are still "firsts" happening for women—especially in motorsports—but that's exactly what's taking place on June 22 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, during the 103rd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. While Tracy Gaudu isn't the first woman to race to the 15,000+ foot summit, she will be the first to do it in a Corvette—specifically, her 2008 Z06. Even better? Two months after she reaches the summit, she and her Corvette will be on display at Corvettes at Carlisle (August 21–23) within the Racer's Reunion tent.

The other small-scale GMC MotorHomes have been toys, most notably from Mattel's Hot Wheels and Barbie brands. As toys, no scale replica has the accuracy and detail of Automodello's MotorHome model.  See More Now You Can Look 'Em Up Online! How much is your vintage ride worth?
