A 1969 Boss 429 sat in a North Dakota building for nearly forty years waiting on a do-it-yourself restoration that never happened. When it finally reached a professional shop in Wisconsin, the first job was not paint or panels. It was a careful, almost archaeological disassembly to work out what four decades of storage had done underneath. Read on to find out why the undercarriage decides whether a car like this is worth saving.
Adding the 426 Hemi to a 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T meant an extra $892 on an already expensive car, and only around 71 buyers agreed to it. No convertibles were built. It was the last model year Dodge would sell a street Hemi at all, which makes the survivors among the scarcest cars wearing a Mopar badge. Read on for what that option really bought and why the 1971 cars close out an era.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon arrived with 840 horsepower, a factory-fitted set of drag radials, and a launch violent enough that the NHRA effectively told owners they could not run it as delivered. Dodge built only 3,300 of them across a single model year, then closed the door for good. Here is what made the Demon different from the Hellcat it was built on, and why one 2.92-foot wheelie changed how everyone talks about factory muscle.
A supercharged 1969 Plymouth Barracuda rolls into a European car meet and delivers one of the cleanest single-take burnouts on the internet — no cuts, no second attempt, just a blown Mopar doing exactly what it was built to do. Filmed at Vantaa Cruising in Finland, the clip has spent years resurfacing to new audiences drawn in by the supercharger’s snarl and the crowd’s reaction. Watch to see why one unbroken shot has outlasted countless more polished burnout videos.
This 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback carries the S-code designation Ford reserved for its 390-powered cars, a step below the legendary Cobra Jet but a genuine leap over the small-block base models. Fully documented with extended photos at MyRod.com, the car draws comments from owners who’ve spent forty years building their own fastbacks and buyers cross-checking every spec against the fender tag. See what makes an S-code car worth the extra attention.
Buick rarely comes up first in muscle car conversations, which is exactly what made the 1966 Skylark Gran Sport so effective. Its 401-cubic-inch Wildcat 445 nailhead put 445 lb-ft of torque underneath a body wearing fake hood scoops and a luxury badge, and the mid-year 340-horsepower version ran with GTOs and 4-4-2s. Buick built only 13,816 of them, and most people never noticed.
This 1970 Chevrolet Nova hides a built 355 small-block and four-speed Muncie transmission behind classic sleeper styling — no rust, straight body panels, and none of the visual cues that would tip off a stoplight rival. Read on to find out how a hopped-up small-block Nova compares to what Chevrolet actually put on the showroom floor that year.
This 1958 Oldsmobile 88 carries the era’s 371-cubic-inch Rocket V8 and the one-piece wraparound backlight that replaced the old three-strut rear window design. It’s a survivor from the model year that earned Oldsmobile the unofficial nickname ‘ChromeMobile’ — and from the depths of a national recession that hit full-size car sales industrywide. Read on to find out what made this quietly capable cruiser more than just a chrome showcase.
Every August, one stretch of Pennsylvania drag strip pavement hosts what has grown into the World’s Largest One-Day Mustang Show, drawing more than 1,400 cars and thousands of spectators for a single day of racing, showing, and charity fundraising. Six decades of Mustang history share the same show field. Read on to find out what it takes to pull off a gathering this size without it collapsing into gridlock.
Mecum’s 2017 Kissimmee auction ran ten days, moved nearly 2,700 cars across the block, and closed with more than million in total sales. Headline results included a ,000 Maserati Ghibli Spider and a rare ,000 Tuxedo Black Corvette convertible, while online viewership set records of its own. Here’s a look back at the auction that traditionally sets the tone for the entire collector car year.
This 1966 Shelby GT350H was born from an unlikely deal between Hertz and Shelby American — rent a genuine race-bred Mustang for $17 a day, then return it with a roll bar welded in if you were one of the many weekend racers who couldn’t resist. Read on to find out how a rental-counter experiment became one of Shelby’s most collectible cars.
This 1969 Dodge Dart, nicknamed ‘Poison’ by Pennsylvania’s Spuds Garage, wears a Hemi that has nothing in common with what left the factory — and a stance that’s already splitting opinion in the comments. Between wheel debates, tire recommendations, and genuine appreciation for the build’s sound and presence, the reaction says as much about Mopar culture as the car itself. Watch the turnaround and see what all the arguing is about.
A single 102mm turbo would already turn heads in most parking lots, but this Mustang runs two of them side by side, chasing horsepower numbers that put it firmly in Pro Mod territory rather than daily-driver territory. Getting there means a built short block, upgraded fueling, custom ECU tuning, and an intercooler sized to handle serious heat, since no factory Mustang was ever engineered around hardware like this. Read on to find out just how much power a combination like this can actually put down.
This 1970 Dodge Charger R/T pairs the 426 Hemi with a rare EB3 Light Blue Metallic and black vinyl top combination — one of just 56 Hemi Chargers built with an automatic transmission that year. Read on to find out why so few buyers said yes to the Hemi’s steep price tag, and how the engine paid off on Dodge’s most successful NASCAR season yet.
