Lou Costabile’s My Car Story visits PHP Race Engines Shop in Wauconda, Illinois, to capture a rare 1966 Ford GT40 in yellow, and the video makes a point of emphasizing that this is a genuine example, not one of the countless replicas the GT40’s shape has inspired over the decades. The car’s small-block V8 takes center stage as the real focus. Watch to hear exactly what a real GT40 sounds like, straight from the Le Mans-winning model year of 1966.
A stranger’s dashcam happened to be rolling at exactly the wrong moment for this 1969 Dodge Dart GT, catching a violent rear-end failure loud enough that viewers say they had to rip their headphones off. The comments dug up two competing, detailed theories for what actually broke — and both are worth knowing before modifying your own muscle car’s rear end. Watch to see it happen.
Before the 1969 Dodge Charger became a movie legend, Dodge sold it on TV with comedian Stu Gilliam and actress Joan Parker as part of “The Dodge Boys” campaign. This thirty-second pitch is over fifty years old and still working on viewers today. See how Detroit built an entire personality around a muscle car before social media ever existed.
This 1964 Dodge Polara isn’t numbers-matching — and one commenter says that hasn’t stopped it from being “worth every penny” of its roughly $39,000 asking price. Under the hood is a full crossram 426 Max Wedge with dual four-barrels and fender-exit headers, backed by a four-speed and a 4.11-geared Dana 60 built purely for launching hard. A full-size sleeper with a well-preserved original interior, it’s the kind of Mopar that collectors chase for substance over paperwork. Watch the walkaround and hear it run.
This 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda convertible isn’t just rare — it’s the very first of only fourteen ever built, wearing Rallye Red paint, a black top, and the Shaker hood scoop that came standard on every Hemi ‘Cuda. Underneath sits the legendary 426 Hemi V8, rated at 425 horsepower and fed by dual four-barrel carburetors. Decades later, it remains one of the most sought-after Mopars in existence. See what makes serial number one worth more than the other thirteen.
Shot from a first-person view with the camera near the driver’s own eye line, this 1970 Dodge Challenger gets pushed to its 150-mph speedometer limit on Germany’s unrestricted autobahn, a kind of sustained high-speed run American owners rarely get to attempt legally. Other drivers scatter once they spot it in their mirrors. Ride along for a rare look at what these cars can really do.
Vintage Mopars and brand-new Hellcats and Demons line up at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, and the spec-sheet advantage isn’t as decisive as it looks on paper. Commenters argue over bracket racing, debate whether a modern car’s electronics can really out-drive fifty-year-old cubic inches, and settle in for an old-versus-new fight that a timing slip, not brand loyalty, ultimately decides.
AMC never had the budget of Ford, GM, or Chrysler, but its Trans-Am racing program with driver Mark Donohue gave the underdog manufacturer real credibility — and this 1970 AMX Javelin in factory Big Bad Blue is the street-legal result. Owner Roger Nelson has driven and shown the car since 2007, and he knows every detail of what makes it different from a standard Javelin. Watch to find out what a factory 390 and a racing pedigree add up to.
A stroked 417-cubic-inch small block Nova got jumped off the line by a turbocharged Eagle Talon and had to pedal the throttle just to save the run — and that’s before a second grudge race between a 2001 Mustang Bullitt and a 1999 Camaro even gets underway. Shot from multiple angles down a quiet stretch of road, this is grudge racing at its most detailed. Watch to see how both races actually finished.
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?
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.
Muscle Vs Tuner built an entire comedy bit around Pablo Sanchez, a fictional ricer explaining his 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer ES with total sincerity and zero mechanical accuracy. Between a fake VTEC claim, a mythical short-throw dipstick, and a run-in with chupacabras at speed, the video has racked up more than four million views and a comment section still quoting it line for line years later. Watch to find out which one sticks with you first.
A Mustang crossing into a barricaded construction zone, a driver who may have hit both pedals at once, and a comment section that has spent years trying to figure out exactly what happened — this brief dashcam clip punches well above its modest view count. One recurring theory blames pedal confusion; another blames the tires entirely. Watch the few seconds of footage and decide for yourself which explanation holds up.
The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 454 carried a factory rating of 450 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, the highest gross horsepower GM ever officially assigned a muscle car. This feature breaks down exactly why that number happened in 1970 specifically, and why regulatory changes the following year made sure no muscle car would ever match it again in the same way. Even Mopar loyalists show up in the comments to give credit where it’s due. Watch to see the case laid out in full.
