A 1970 Buick GS hid an engine most muscle car fans have never heard of: an 11.0:1-compression 455 built for Super Stock racing and estimated past 500 horsepower, that Buick scrapped before a single customer could order one. Only two prototypes ever existed, and incoming emissions rules buried the program before it ever reached a factory build sheet.
Ford outsold Chevrolet by 10 percent in 1951, and the optional 239 cubic inch flathead V8 under this coupes hood was part of the reason why. That same engine, simple enough for anyone to modify, became the foundation of the postwar hot rod movement and helped define an entire era of American car culture. Here is why builders still chase this engine family decades later.
A single Mustang body hid three completely different Shelby GT500s between 2007 and 2014, each one built around a different engine strategy. One version was limited to barely 1,000 U.S. units. The final year closed out an entire era of solid-axle Shelby Mustangs for good.
You have found the 1969 Oldsmobile 442 you have been hunting for: the stance is right, the big-inch Olds V8 sounds healthy, and the engine bay looks like someone actually cared. Then you crouch down and look at the front suspension, and everything is coated in glossy fresh black paint. That shine feels reassuring, but it may be the most expensive thing in the whole inspection, because paint tells you almost nothing about what the metal underneath is doing. One part in particular, the lower control arm, carries a huge share of the front-end load, and it is exactly the kind of component that gets a quick cosmetic freshening before a car goes up for sale. Before you hand over a deposit, here is what a hands-on restorer’s video can teach you about looking past the finish.
Barrett-Jackson’s 2017 Northeast auction at Mohegan Sun led with a 1971 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T and a pair of 1970 Plymouth ‘Cudas, and the production figures behind those cars explain the interest better than any catalog description. Chrysler built just 71 Hemi Challenger R/T hardtops for 1971, and fewer than 800 Hemi ‘Cudas across the model’s entire life. Read on for what those numbers mean and why documentation now decides the price.
Chevrolet quietly offered a 350-horsepower, Corvette-rated 327 in the humble 1966 Chevy II Nova SS. One year later the option vanished almost entirely. Here’s why documented survivors now outsell nearly every other Nova on the market.
Pontiac quietly built a 400-cubic-inch muscle car in 1977, long after the GTO was gone. Dealer orders doubled projections — then a single broken spoiler mold ended the whole program in about half a year.
1969 was the last year for the original Firebird body, and Pontiac sent it out with its most thorough facelift yet, a new Lexan front bumper-grille and a wider, longer stance. This 400-cubic-inch, 330-horsepower example sat squarely in the middle of a lineup that topped out with a rare 345-horsepower Ram Air IV most buyers never actually ordered. Gateway Classic Cars supplied the images seen here, documenting one of the final examples of Pontiac’s original pony car shape.
This Vanguard Motor Sales restomod wears real 1970 Chevelle SS sheet metal, but almost nothing underneath it rolled off a GM line. A modern LSX big block and an aftermarket chassis replace everything that made the original car original — and buyers are lining up anyway.
Motor Trend named the 1970 Ford Torino its Car of the Year, recognizing a lineup that spanned everything from the hushed, Lincoln-quiet Brougham to the stripped-down Cobra fastback running the quarter mile in under 14 seconds. A 429 Cobra Jet-equipped Cobra could hit 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, while wagon buyers got their own dedicated towing package. Read on to find out how Ford built three completely different cars under one nameplate.
Chevrolet’s 1973 Camaro brochure photographed a smiling couple next to a car that barely topped 175 horsepower. One Chicago dealer looked at that brochure, laughed, and quietly built something else entirely.
One early-’70s Plymouth Duster ran three different V8s in a single year just to settle the ultimate garage argument. Here’s which swap engine actually came out on top — and why the runner-up might still be the smarter buy.
A stroked 417-cubic-inch small block Nova got jumped off the line by a turbocharged Eagle Talon and had to pedal the throttle just to save the run — and that’s before a second grudge race between a 2001 Mustang Bullitt and a 1999 Camaro even gets underway. Shot from multiple angles down a quiet stretch of road, this is grudge racing at its most detailed. Watch to see how both races actually finished.
