Plymouth paired a 440 Super Commando V8 with the kind of trim and insulation you’d expect from a luxury coupe. The GTX nameplate didn’t survive past that single model year. Here’s the story behind the rarest, most refined muscle car Plymouth ever built.
A seized 2020 Challenger Hellcat Redeye now wears a Texas DPS badge after a 160 mph chase on I-10 ended with an empty tank. DPS says the modified Hemi makes 1,080 horsepower — here’s how a street racer’s car became one of the fastest patrol cruisers in the state.
Chevrolet needed a new face for its NASCAR Cup Series program after the SS sedan went out of production, so it turned to the Camaro ZL1 — a nameplate every enthusiast recognizes, attached to a race car that shares nothing with the road version. Underneath sits the same tube-frame chassis and pushrod V8 the SS ran. The gamble paid off in the very first race. Read on to find out how the swap actually worked, and why the problem came back around.
This 1970 Dodge Super Bee wears a front end Dodge built for exactly one model year. Under the hood, a 440 running three carburetors was engineered to chase Hemi-level bragging rights for a lot less money. Here’s the story behind both decisions — and why neither one stuck around.
Only twenty buyers checked the box for Chevrolet’s most serious 1967 Corvette engine option, and the horsepower figure on the window sticker was deliberately understated. This custom convertible takes that same idea and reworks it with five decades of engineering the original buyers never had, wrapped in a paint color that did not exist when the car was built. Shark Gray over black, a modified 427 Z06-based engine, and a question every restomod eventually has to answer. Read on for where the line actually sits.
A 1971 Dodge Charger R/T sat in the same Las Vegas driveway for 55 years before two guys with a YouTube channel brought it back — not with a full restoration, but with a budget revival built to be driven. Here’s the story, and the real rarity of a 1971 R/T.
A 1970 426 HEMI, fresh off a four-year restoration, gets strapped to a dyno for its first real test in decades. The number on the screen isn’t the whole story — a carburetor issue quietly cost the engine 10 to 15 horsepower nobody caught until months later. Viewers who’ve spent fifty years chasing that unmistakable idle sound will understand why the correction matters more than the headline figure. So what did this elephant engine actually have left in it?
Kevin Erickson spent nearly two years swapping a wrecked Tesla Model S drivetrain into his 1972 Plymouth Satellite — and the 636-horsepower result just put a 700-HP turbo Dodge Dart on notice at the strip. Here’s how a home-garage build called ‘Electrollite’ pulled off one of the most convincing EV muscle car swaps yet.
This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 convertible is one of just 96 four-speed cars Oldsmobile built that year, and it still wears a dealer-ordered aluminum rear axle so rare that most 442 owners have never seen one. Its documented history runs back to a single order placed at a Fullerton, California dealership decades ago.
Before a torn-down Chevy 350 can become a running engine again, it has to survive the machine shop — where a block gets bored, honed, and resurfaced to tolerances no home garage can match. Motorz’s Chris Duke walks through this often-skipped step as part of a five-episode small-block rebuild series. See what separates a properly machined block from one that just looks rebuilt.
The 1987 Trans Am GTA debuted with gold wheels, Gran Turismo Americano badging, and a stock suspension setup few Camaro buyers could match. See how Pontiac’s underdog actually stacks up against the IROC-Z.
Dodge built the Demon to dominate the quarter-mile every time. So when carwow lined it up against a Ford Mustang Dark Horse and a naturally aspirated Corvette Z06, the result was supposed to be a formality. It wasn’t. See how a flat-plane-crank Corvette and NASCAR driver Jessie Iwuji upended the expected outcome — and why fans are already demanding a rematch.
Dodge built the 1968 Super Bee to undercut the Road Runner on price, with a 383 Magnum doing most of the work. A 426 Hemi was quietly on the order sheet too — almost nobody checked the box.
Three days isn’t nearly enough time to see everything Chrysler ever built parked in one place, but the Mopar Nationals crowd tries anyway. Held at a drag strip with roots along the old National Road, the event has grown into one of the largest single-marque gatherings in the country. Read on to find out what keeps it growing after nearly four decades.
