It’s still not quite finished, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. ScottieDTV catches up with a 1966 Chevrolet Nova Chevy II street machine mid-build at Steve Holcomb Pro Auto Custom Interiors, an LT1 under the hood and fresh wheels on order, proof that the most compelling build videos are the ones that catch a car before the paint has fully dried on the story.
Naming the single best muscle car engine of the 1960s starts fights at every car show in America, and Car News TV isn’t shy about picking a fight. Their countdown of the decade’s five greatest engines, told entirely through sound and archival footage rather than narration, forces a question every enthusiast eventually has to answer: what actually makes an engine great, the numbers on the spec sheet or the sound it makes doing it?
Only a handful of cars in history ever left a Dodge factory wearing both a towering rear wing and a 426 Hemi under the hood, and Tom Lembeck owns one of them. The Charger Daytona was not built to look fast at a car show; it was built because Dodge was losing on Sunday and needed something drastic. Read on to find out what Dodge was really trying to prove, and why so few Hemi versions exist.
Two of America’s most iconic nameplates went head-to-head in 2015, and for once the numbers were close enough that bragging rights actually meant something. The Mustang GT and Camaro SS both packed around 430 horsepower and the most aggressive handling packages either brand offered that year. Read on to find out which pony car actually came out ahead once the spec sheets stopped mattering.
A retired drag racer, a beat-up project car, and a continent he’d never driven across probably wasn’t the recipe anyone at Plymouth had in mind when they built the 1973 Road Runner. Al Young drove his Road Runner through Europe and the former Soviet Bloc three separate times, turning a fading muscle car nameplate into an unlikely international traveler. Read on to find out how a detuned ’73 Mopar ended up touring a continent.
