Mecum’s Dallas 2024 auction wrapped up this past weekend, underscoring the current volatility in the classic car market. While some renowned models failed to sell and a few HEMI Mopars were auctioned for lower-than-expected prices, other vehicles managed to fetch impressive sums, with one golden-era muscle car setting a new benchmark.

At this weekend’s Dallas event, yet another one-of-five 1968 GT500 went under the hammer for over $300,000. This time, however, it was a KR…

But there is a stock that provides exposure to Bitcoin that can be bought for these investment accounts… A Bitcoin stock? The stock I’m…

The Takata recall, however, involved 67 million vehicles in the U.S. alone, doubling GM’s number, and affected more than 100 million vehicles globally, impacting over 20 automakers. Most people are familiar with the basic story. Even if you never owned a car equipped with Takata airbags—models…

COP29, held in Baku, made a major breakthrough in global climate action during its opening day. Nearly 200 governments agreed on a framework under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. This deal sets up a UN-led global carbon market, allowing countries and companies to trade carbon credits more efficiently.

He also urged all nations to continue working together to make more progress during…

The Dart GTS was among the original members of Dodge’s “Scat Pack” in 1968, marked by the distinctive “bumblebee” stripe that wrapped around the rear of the car. The Scat Pack’s symbol was an automotive bee, a unique branding choice that gave Dodge an edge in the competitive muscle car market. The Dart GTS was essentially an enhanced Dart GT, boasting a high-performance suspension, a standard 340-cubic inch high-revving small-block engine, with an optional 383-cubic inch big-block engine available for an additional cost, and E70 x 14 tires. Many buyers preferred the lighter 340 engine, as it weighed 89 pounds…
