In 1973 Chevrolet replaced the SS (Super Sport) logo on their Chevelle with an S-3 option -- without ever admitting what the 3rd S meant. Regardless the S-3 was combined with the Laguna name to build a polyurethane front ended coupe and that was supposed to help the NASCAR teams be more competitive...but the story doesn't end here. Apparently, if you knew the right COPO (Central Office Production Order) codes you could order the S-3 Laguna nose on an El Camino.

Fat Chick: 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14

When Volkswagen decided to diversify their product portfolio in the mid 1950s they did so with the help of Luigi Segre from carrozzeria Ghia and hand built bodywork from karosseriebauer Karmann. The result was a stylish coupe that used styling themes that Ghia had previously explored with Chrysler and Studebaker mated to the simple Beetle floorpan. It was a such a good looking car (for something from the 1950s) that even Virgil Exner claimed some credit for the design -- and it does look like a 5/8ths scale Chrysler D'Elegance.

As always the event featured a 1PM rev for Carroll (you can hear it on our video below), but this year a Spirit of Competition panel was on stage to discuss Adam Carolla's to-be-released documentary "The 24 Hour War".

Mid Week Match-Up: A Coupe For FB
This week's Mid Week Match-Up comes from reader FB who writes:My budget is simply here in trade value, I really want a coupe, and I'm Colorado 80525.
I'd
settle for another 540i to match the one I recently acquired, simply to
have more diagnosis parts (that, and I'm pretty sure my wife is going
to steal it from me). So far all attempts at contact with others I suspect might be willing to trade have lead to dead ends.

Cheap Project: 1975 MGB

The MGB was introduced by the British Motor Corporation in 1962 in soft top roadster form as a replacement for the swoopy fender MGA. In the beginning it was a lithe little sports car with chrome bumpers and a can-do attitude, but by 1975 the US version was wrapped in ugly black plastic bumpers, smog tuned to make less power and raised in height by safety requirements...but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider one as your budget classic.

1 of 143: 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG

In 2006 (and 2007) Mercedes-Benz released the first of the M156 V8 powered AMG speed machines including the S63, CL63, ML63, R63, E63, SL63, CLS63, and CLK63. The new engine was a naturally aspirated 6.2 liter screamer that replaced the supercharged 5.4 liter V8 -- it made up for the lack of torque with charisma and a screaming 7200 rpm redline.
