Regular Car Reviews takes on a modified 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 R/T and calls it ‘more a symbol of virility than a car’ — a description that turns out to be surprisingly accurate. This first-year R/T was Dodge’s opening shot in the muscle-car arms race, packing a 440 Magnum big block and an attitude to match. With over 600,000 views, the review has become a cult favorite. Watch to see why this Coronet still gets under people’s skin.
Only 20 people ordered Chevrolet’s ultimate 427 option in a new 1967 Corvette — this custom convertible builds on that same idea with five decades of engineering the original buyers never got. A modified Z06-based 427 and a color that didn’t exist until 2016 make the case for why the ’67 remains restomod builders’ favorite canvas.
A boat, a narrow street, and a muscle car owner clearly betting the marina could wait one more minute for a photo. This meme has circulated car forums since 2017 for good reason — the open-ended caption format never gets old, and neither does the mystery of whether the driver actually made the turn.
The 2017 New York Auto Show leaned hard into SUVs, from a new Lincoln Navigator to a 707-horsepower Jeep Trackhawk. But buried in the same lineup was Dodge’s answer to the utility-vehicle takeover: an 840-horsepower Challenger SRT Demon. Here’s how the show’s biggest trend and its loudest outlier ended up sharing a floor.
After a decade of Sunday cruises, Fargo’s Cruisin’ Broadway is giving way to a new gathering built around a format that’s reshaped car culture nationwide: Cars and Coffee. The low-pressure, no-entry-fee model has quietly become the go-to way enthusiasts connect in cities far beyond Fargo. Here’s what’s replacing a decade-old tradition — and why the format keeps winning.
To mark 50 years of the Super Snake name, Shelby American built its first true factory concept car in over a decade — a wide-body Mustang engineered for road courses instead of drag strips. With 750 horsepower and a widened stance, it was reportedly close to production. Here’s what made this anniversary build different from every Super Snake before it.
Built by its owner for fun rather than trophies, this 1973 Chevelle wears its road-warrior styling like a badge of honor. That model year also happened to be the most significant redesign in the Chevelle’s history, arriving just as insurance rates and safety rules were reshaping the muscle car market. Here’s what made 1973 such a turning point for Chevrolet’s mid-size icon.
Everyone writes off the mid-seventies as the era muscle went soft, and then a 1975 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 in Arctic Blue shows up and quietly makes the case for itself. Owner Marc Vernon held out for a genuine original survivor rather than settle, and the result is a rolling time capsule with a real 400 under the hood. Lou Costabile lets the car and its owner tell the story. Listen to that Pontiac V8 and decide whether the doubters had it wrong.
A round of teaser photos hinted Chevrolet had something bigger planned for the 2017 Geneva Motor Show than another paint scheme. What debuted was the Camaro Track Concept — a satin green, automatic-equipped take on the Camaro SS 1LE built specifically to court European buyers.

Nissan built the Datsun 240Z to answer one question: could a lightweight, affordable Japanese sports car actually compete with Europe’s best?

Here’s how a $3,526 coupe became a genuine racing threat.
