The new full-size Ford van will be built upon an especially versatile platform that is designed to manage either a front-, rear-, or all-wheel-drive layout. Ford says that the 3.5-liter V6 will be available in rear-wheel-drive, while a naturally aspirated engine will be used for the all-wheel-drive variant. It is likely that Ford will forgo the front-wheel-drive option in the North American Market.

Dodge‘s performance department, SRT, announced its 2013 Dodge Charger will be revealed during next week’s Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. A little more than a week ago, the first images of the new race car leaked from Penske Racing.

Rick Treworgy is our kind of guy; he’s spent much of his life restoring cars. Presently he has a collection of roughly 225 vehicles. His assortment is so massive that he had to buy a now-defunct Walmart to house them all.

Willing to share what he’s done over the years with the general public, Treworgy now runs what he calls “Muscle City”, a collection of American classics that date back all the way to 1931. There is even a section full of “restomods,” cars that are built the way he believed they should have been built back in the day. He says all the cars in Muscle City are mechanically sound, meaning that Treworgy could take any one of them out for a spin if he wanted to, which earns extra bonus points from us.

Check out the news clip showcasing Muscle City after the jump.
