Nissan Skylines have come a long way over the past couple of decades. They've made an almost seamless transition from performance street cars to incredibly fast race cars. These days a lot of them are single-purpose, dedicated racers. And samples retaining scraps of their street heritage are getting rarer by the day.
There are not many cars that can genuinely claim to be GTR Royalty. With more world records under its belt than others can only dream of, the aptly named KING32 is definitely one of them.

Zach Wingfield isn’t just building cars—he’s producing motion pictures in metal. Founder of film production and performance shop ZWING, the man knows how to capture speed on camera and under throttle. His latest head-turner? A 1990 BMW 325i E30 that’s gone from grocery-getter to full-blown SEMA showpiece.
While the 440 was the cheaper option compared to the HEMI Road Runner, it was no slouch. With a big block 440, this Runner was rated at 390 bhp and bridged the gap between the HEMI and basic 383 in models. But the A19 package was much more than an engine swap. It also included upgrades to the intake system, drive line and body. For$462.80 it was a much more economical option than the much more expensive HEMI.
The Plymouth Roadrunner today stands as a must-have MOPAR for any collector or Muscle car enthusiast.

**Under the Bonnet: Performance and Power**
The origin
This car originally belonged to a client of mines wife who was the 3rdowner and had owned the car for 18 years. It took me approximately 10 of these to convince her to sell it to me. So, this is my version of an iconic, old-school sports car with a few modern twists.
The interesting fact is that even though the two Uhlenhaut Coupes were built out of the regular SLR chassis for the 1956 sports car racing season, they never saw action. This is no thanks to Mercedes pulling out from motorsports after the tragic 1955 Le Mans incident.

Now the owner and operator of MFR Enterprises, Fry spends most of his time fabricating and prepping race cars for various motorsport disciplines. Over the years his builds have racked up top honors at competitions like SEMAs Battle of the Builders, and although notoriety has made free time harder to come by these days, he still manages to put together projects like this Hilborn-injected Datsun 510 in order to satisfy his motorsport ambitions.
Jerry, who was 30 miles north of his home in Lucas, Texas, had driven out to fix a broken air conditioner in a mobile home. The property was vast, with little more than the house, a few buildings, and the mobile home on a dirt road. The car owner, wearing bib overalls and no shirt, was dealing with chickens and an old refrigerator in the front yard. Jerry helped feed the chickens and, while repairing the A/C with a simple capacitor fix, asked if the car was for sale. The owner, skeptical but intrigued, was offered $2,500 on the spot.
