13 Irresistible Luxury Cars That Tempt Even the Most Thrifty Shoppers
Luxury cars are supposed to alienate those who can’t or are unwilling to pay big money for them. At least, that’s how we’ve always perceived “luxury.” At the same time, some folks are ‘cheap’ regardless of their financial status. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car that serves the same primary purpose as a $30,000 model doesn’t make sense to such people. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recently published a list of the top ten cars driven by millionaires, and there was not a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce among them. Ramsey might have a point. A 2022 survey by Experian Automotive found that 61% of rich people (with household incomes over $250,000) go for regular brands like Toyota, Ford, and Honda. It makes you wonder who buys the expensive cars, then. Those who can’t resist them, maybe? It shows enthusiasts, rich and poor — fuel the market for expensive, niche cars. It’s more about attraction than money. Here are 13 luxury cars that are so compelling that even cheap people can’t stay away.

Restoration Time-Lapse: MOPAR 440 V-8 Engine & Vintage Ford Race Car | Redline Rebuild
When we first met Snowball Bishop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9s6CFUBq3I) and saw his old Ford coupe dirt track racer he had sitting behind his barn, we knew we had to see it back on the track. After some unfortunate delays and a good bit of blood, sweat, and tears, this Chrysler-440-V8-powered race car is back to its former glory. It may be a handful on the corners, but hearing it rip up the track again after a 50-year hiatus is the stuff dreams are made of. Follow along as we give this project our legendary Redline Rebuild time-lapse treatment and show you every single step it takes to completely rebuild a classic Mopar V-8 engine and "restore" the hacked-together Ford coupe Modified it powers.
