Alex Hirschi, aka Supercar Blondie, walks us around the hydrogen-powered Hyperion XP-1 – one of the most advanced cars ever built.

It boasts a hydrogen propulsion system that makes the car spew water from the exhaust utilizing some of the most advanced technology ever added to a car.

Not only is it good for the environment – its user experience is pretty impressive too as it can be charged in a mere five minutes boasting a range of over 1,600km (994 miles).

Boasting 2,000HP and NASA-developed aerodynamic solar-panel air blades that power electronics, the XP-1 can reach 0-100km/h/0-62 mph in just 2.3-2.4 seconds with a top speed of over 350km/h (217mph).

This car enthusiast thought he’d been lucky with the ‘world’s cheapest 69 Camaro LS’ on Facebook Marketplace – sadly it also turned out to be ‘the world’s worst’.

While it isn’t specified how much he spent – it seems he thought he’d bagged a bargain.

He’d had the ‘itch’ for a first-generation Camaro for some time.

However, it seems asking ‘how bad can it be’ came back to bite him.

‘The cheapest’ 69 Camaro…

Having wanted a first-generation Camaro for some time, Thomas Mortske of Mortske Repair was tipped off by a friend about a listing on Facebook Marketplace.

Without seeing the car in person he bit the bullet and made the deal.

It wasn’t until after (metaphorically) shaking on it that Mortske drove down to Oklahoma.

Once there he swapped the rear wheels and took it to Abel Racing to have the ECU dyno-tuned before hauling it home.

A similar Marketplace sale was this street-legal Chevy Camaro golf cart that looks just like the real thing.

Sadly this isn’t the first place Marketplace has misfired with a man purchasing a cheap 200,000-mile Dodge Charger that seriously backfired.

Turned out to be ‘the worst’

Initially, Mortske acknowledges that the LS swap is ‘rough around the edges’, making it ideal for use as a project car.

He’s aware that it isn’t a numbers-matching model, and that there are significant electrical issues to address.

However, when he gets it home to inspect it, he notices bodywork issues including fiberglass repairs and rust in the body.

Its structural problems are largely caused by half-baked fixes in the past.

After tuning the engine and testing its performance, despite several issues and previous modifications surprisingly he describes it as a ‘powerful LS swap’.

With more work required than Mortske had anticipated, the Camaro undergoes mechanical repairs, including fixes to the brakes, transmission, and exhaust.

He also needs to fit brake lines, correct hardware issues, and clean up leaks to prepare it for intensive driving, and against all odds, he’s excited about the car’s potential.

This isn’t the first time a buyer has brought a Camaro back from the brink with a supercharged ZL1 that was cheap due to a bad clutch being fixed in three minutes for next to nothing.

Paul Michaels was once a private BMW dealer, but now he owns one of the most impressive classic car collections in Europe.

Tucked away in North London, Hexagon Classics is home to a special Aston Martin Volante and possibly the world’s lowest mileage Lamborghini Countach.

But this dealership is about more than just cars.

Paul and his son-in-law have now turned it into a handmade pizza restaurant, joining two of the world’s greatest things: pizza and cars.

Rare pieces in the classic car collection

When you step foot inside Hexagon Classics, one of the first cars you’ll see is a handmade wooden replica of the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.

Yep, just like the six-wheel Rolls-Royce this dad built for his son, this car is made entirely out of wood.

Classics

A special Aston Martin Volante is one of the collections crowning jewels.

With less than 7,000 miles on the clock, this aluminum-bodied 1989 Aston Martin Volante Zagato is one-of-37 worldwide and one of only 25 that are right-hand drive.

It’s as hard to find as this Vantage that was discovered in a UK garage after years.

And speaking of crowning jewels, it would be remiss of us not to mention the Lamborghini Countach.

With just 218 miles on the odometer, it’s possibly the lowest mileage Lamborghini Countach in the world.

Known as the Anniversario, this 1989 model was built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 25th anniversary.

Also in the collection is a handmade BMW Z8 and a Jaguar E-Type they claim may well be the nearest thing to a new Jaguar E-Type in existence.
