Rob Dyrdek’s 1969 Camaro Gets A Great Looking Facelift

Professional skateboarder and business man Rob Dyrdek is clearly a petrol head, from his Ferrari 458 Italia to a number of Go-Carts, bikes, and cars he stores at the Fantasy Factory. Rob Dyrdek posted a picture on his twitter saying that his 1969 Camaro had a new facelift done to it with the help of Dirty Ghetto Kids skateboarder Josh Kalis. Josh Kalis owns a 1969 Camaro of his own that goes by the name of the "Dirty Ghetto Camaro." From what it looks like, Rob had the Rogue Status Gunshow print removed, the deep dish red rims removed, and replaced with fresh black rims and a new glossy paint job to match.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint Drives An Ice Cream Truck?

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint who stars as Ron Weasley drives a... Ice cream truck? It's a 1974 Mr. Whippy Bedford Van that he keeps chock full of free ice cream that he hands out when driving around. He has other cars, but being a man who is worth almost 38 million dollars, he has always wanted to drive an ice cream truck. No Lamborghini's or anything luxurious in his colelction. His brother on the other hand, (pictured left with his Mitsubishi Evo 9) is one of Britain's most popular rally drivers as part of a british racing team called Grint Team which is owned by their father. Pretty interesting brothers huh!

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay Brought His Hot-Rod to Spring Training

Philadelphia Phillies picther Roy Halladay is also known for restoring old cars behind his baseball career. This Hot-Rod above has a great looking dark plum paintjob, big thick rims, and a lot of power from the looks of it. With all those cameras around, probablly filming a small spot for TV, he should have done a sweet burn-out!

It sounds SO good too! Check out Jay driving the car at the end of this video:

John Travolta Spotted Leaving Dinner In His Mercedes 280SL Roadster

John Travolta was spotted leaving in his very unique Mercedes 280SL Roadster after having dinner with John Angelo Gotti and friends. The car itself looks quite pristine, maintaining that factory appearance. This photo of the car doesn't do justice on the tobacco brown paint job it withholds. It truly is a wonderful color that mixes well with the beige leather interior. Overall, it's a German classic. Nice pick Travolta!

Amber Heard Has an Awesome Vintage Ford Mustang

Amber Heard in her Ford Mustang

Amber Heard has this amazing vintage 60's Mustang she has been driving around Los Angeles lately. Not only is it a fantastic color but the car seems to be in great condition. Props to her for a nice purchase and find! Even bigger round of applause that she is driving around in a classic muscle car instead of a Toyota Prius. She is from Austin, Texas and gives her the personality I feel like to drive around in a classic Mustang unlike the snobby Los Angeles born and raised ladies of Hollywood.

Patrick Dempsey Cruising in his Jaguar XK120

Patrick Dempsey in his amazing Jaguar XK120

Here is Patrick Dempsey in this amazing Jaguar XK120 roadster with a gorgeous grey paint and red interior. This is a vintage Jaguar that came out in 1948 and was in production until 1954. Not sure which year his Jaguar is but it looks to be in immaculate condition. We have also spotted him in his Porsche GT3 RS cruising around Beverly Hills in a black/orange combo. Quite frankly the vintage Jaguar is a better look for the Grey's Anatomy star.
