2020 GT Sells For $1.8 Million

It's not the first million-dollar GT sold at Barrett Jackson, but it is the most expensive. One of 30 ever produced, the 2020 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition features an exposed carbon fiber body. This particular one was owned by Grammy-nominated DJ Marshmello, had only 87 miles on the clock, and was serial number 5 of 30. On top of being an incredibly rare vehicle, this one was also fairly heavily modified, but very tastefully so. Check it out at the link below. Its a gorgeous vehicle.

Old Iron Cummins-Powered Project, Engage

For the love of all things Cummins, this truck’s cool! A 1947 International KB-8 with a 12-valve Cummins swapped in place of the original 402ci Red Diamond inline-six, now in the possession of Holden Bros. Diesel—the same outfit that’s been experimenting with a common-rail 12-valve recently… While their plans for this near-mint piece of old iron might not entail a common-rail swap, the truck’s original five-speed transmission and two-speed rear axle are going to remain. The real gameplan begins after the air brakes are made functional again and fresh fluids are added throughout. Give them a like and a follow on social media to find out what’s next for this classic KB series International.

SICK Week Freaks: The Catch-All Category Gets Well-Deserved Time In The Spotlight

Hot Shot’s Secret is recapping SICK Week 2025 in a way that very few can, with a well-executed video that shines a light on the Sick Week Freaks class—a field where vehicles with diesels, rotary engines and any other power plant with less than eight cylinders duke it out for class supremacy. This year, Dave Workman and his D&J-built, Cummins-powered ’57 Ford F-100 and Rick Fletes LB7 Duramax-powered ’70 Chevelle made the list of notable drivers. The former would turn in his first 9-second average and earn fastest diesel honors while Fletes would uncharacteristically battle mechanical issues throughout the duration of the 5-day, 4-track, 850-mile event. A 5-minute preview of the upcoming documentary can be found below.

They Don’t Come Any Cleaner!

The market for late model, second-hand diesel trucks may have cooled off over the past year, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for the “classics.” In fact, buyers continue to dish out huge money ($45,000-$70,000) for ultra-clean, old body style Fords. This low-mile, ’95 F-250 XLT, equipped with one of the earliest versions of the 7.3L Power Stroke, would command big bucks right now. Adding to its desirability for many, the 4x4 OBS is also sporting the ZF-5 manual transmission and that nostalgic two-tone paint. Even with the often frowned upon TTB front-end under it, most prospective buyers won’t hold that against it.

Kicking off March 6th, the 2025 NHRA season will be offering some of its biggest payouts to date at $25 million. It's refreshing to see a series get behind their racers this much, especially after seeing so many tracks and series closing their doors last year. Racing is alive and well for 2025.  Regarding the payouts,NHRA President Glen Cromwell was quoted:“It is always our goal to incentivize our amazing racers at all levels, and we’ve been intently focused on introducing new ways to reward our drivers and race teams. We’re excited to award $25 million to these incredible teams and competitors who race at such a high level and put on a tremendous show for our fans across the country,”
