Casey Underdahl’s G-Machine 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a Jack-of-All-Trades!

by Kiril

Casey Underdahl’s 1969 Camaro was built for the Super Chevy Muscle Car Challenge, a competition that scores cars on autocross handling and braking as strictly as it judges paint and fit. That dual standard is what separates a true pro-touring G-Machine from a car that just looks the part, and it put this father-and-son build up against factory-backed efforts from shops like Detroit Speed and Total Cost Involved. Getting there meant undoing years of hidden rust damage before the real work could even start.

Will the Dodge Challenger Demon Only Have One Seat?

by Kiril

When rumors surfaced that the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon might ship without a passenger seat, it sounded too extreme to be real, until Dodge confirmed it. Deleting the front passenger and rear seats helped shave more than 200 pounds off the car, part of a broader plan built entirely around quarter-mile performance. Buyers could still add the passenger seat back for a symbolic one dollar, tools included. It remains one of the boldest weight-saving decisions any factory muscle car has shipped with.

Dodge Let Us Drive One of the Most Powerful Muscle Cars Ever Produced and It Blew Us Away

by Kiril

Dodge’s own numbers back up the swagger: the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat ran 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 125 mph, all on stock tires. When those figures landed in 2014, no other American production car had ever gone that quick from the factory floor. The Mustang GT and Shelby GT350 comparisons in this piece are not just talk; the strip numbers back them up.

Chevrolet El Camino 1966 “Riding shotgun!

by Kiril

Chevrolet completely reinvented the El Camino for 1966, swapping its old body for fresh Chevelle-based sheet metal and, for the first time, pushing production past 35,000 units. Buyers could order anything from a 275-horsepower 327 four-barrel V8 up to a brand-new 396 big block making as much as 375 horsepower, turning a car-truck hybrid into something that could genuinely run with Chevrolet’s muscle cars. This clean California example shows exactly why the formula finally clicked.

Chevrolet Camaro 1967 RS Convertible

by Kiril

This 1967 Camaro RS convertible pairs Chevy’s flashy Rally Sport appearance package, hidden headlamps included, with a 327-cubic-inch Turbo-Fire V8 rated at 275 horsepower, good for 0-62 mph in around 7.5 seconds. Only 10,675 of the RS-equipped Camaros built that year were convertibles. The badges were pure theater; the drivetrain underneath did the real work.

Ford Mustang 1967 Fastback 289

by Kiril

The 1967 Mustang’s first real redesign made the pony car longer, wider, and sharper-looking, with the fastback body style becoming the shape enthusiasts still chase today. A four-barrel 289 V8 could push a fastback through the quarter-mile in about 15.2 seconds. With 53,651 fastbacks built that year, clean original survivors are getting harder to find every season.

Super Cool 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Coupe Resto-mod

by Kiril

This 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Coupe keeps its factory-correct looks while hiding a thoroughly modern drivetrain underneath, including fuel injection and an overdrive transmission most 1940s buyers never dreamed of. The result is a resto-mod built to actually be driven, not just displayed. Watch the test drive and see how a nearly 80-year-old coupe handles like something built decades later.

Dodge Charger 1967 – 426 Hemi Factory Auto Show Car

by Kiril

Just 117 buyers ordered a 426 Hemi in their 1967 Dodge Charger, and barely half of those got the four-speed manual built to handle it. Dodge rated the engine at 425 horsepower, though race-tuned versions of the same basic design made closer to 500, numbers that trace directly back to NASCAR’s decision to ban the original 1964 race Hemi from competition. This Auto Show Hemi Charger was Dodge’s way of proving the connection between what it raced and what, rarely, it actually sold.

Classic Cars Roll into Santa Barbara for State Street Nationals Premier Car Show

by Kiril

The State Street Nationals began in the 1990s as a small fundraiser for Santa Barbara’s Page Youth Center and has since grown into one of California’s largest downtown car shows, drawing 300-plus vehicles across roughly ten city blocks. Because every worker volunteers their time, 100 percent of the proceeds reach the charities involved. The cars are the draw, but the mission is what keeps it running.

Chevrolet Chevelle 1970 SS 454 LS6 450HP Convertible

by Kiril

This 1970 Chevelle SS convertible carries the LS6 454, a 450-horsepower engine that, for one year only, out-rated even the Corvette. Chevrolet built just 4,475 SS454 LS6 Chevelles in 1970, and historians estimate only 20 to 25 were convertibles. That makes this one of the rarest muscle cars Chevrolet ever put a price tag on.

Sunshine & Muscle Cars Dominate Inline Tube 2017 Open House

by Kiril

What turns a brake-and-fuel-line manufacturer’s parking lot into one of the season’s most anticipated car gatherings? Inline Tube’s annual open house has grown from a modest shop event into a magnet for restorers and muscle car owners across the Detroit area, drawing bigger crowds than some sanctioned shows. The appeal isn’t trophies — it’s the chance to talk shop with the people who built the parts holding your restoration together.

Watch The 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Take Back The Ring!

by Kiril

In 2017, a heavily aero’d Dodge Viper ACR-Extreme, driven by endurance racer Dominik Farnbacher, lapped the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife in an official 7:03.45 – a time that put American muscle in company with hypercars costing far more. The run became an instant reference point for anyone debating where Detroit’s most extreme sports car belongs on the Ring’s leaderboard. Watch the full lap and see the number for yourself.
