This 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible spent roughly forty years buried in storage before Patrick Glenn Nichols uncovered it, a numbers-matching barn find rare enough to land on the cover of HOT ROD Magazine. Convertibles were already the scarcest GT500KR body style, and this one still wears its original, oddball factory hardware. Watch to see just how much is still original underneath the dust.
Myvintageiron7512 lines up a modern LS1 against a classic small block 350 for a straight side-by-side comparison, correcting a bore-and-stroke mix-up right in the video description.

Watch to see the comparison and judge the debate for yourself.
George and Margaret Oleskiewicz’s 1967 Camaro RS SS convertible pairs a rare L78 396/375hp big block with a fully documented options list, right down to the luggage rack and correct disc brakes.

A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — one of just 69 ever built — lines up against an equally rare 1969 Corvette L88 for a quarter-mile grudge match between two of Chevrolet’s most extreme homologation specials. Both cars share the same 427 big block, both are worth serious money today, and both owners chose to race them instead of trailering them to a show. Poly-glass tires, low-eleven-second passes, and a decades-old rivalry between two GM legends collide on the same strip. Watch to see which one crosses the line first.
Automotive Territory rounds up ten classic American muscle cars rebuilt with modern engines, transmissions, and brakes — machines its host argues could outperform today’s supercars. Builders like Ring Brothers show up on the list, and the comments have turned into a running debate over whether a restomod still counts as a real muscle car.

Host Vicki Butler-Henderson gets behind the wheel of both to find out which screen legend actually handles better once the cameras stop editing for drama. The result says as much about decades of TV car myth as it does about either car.
At its 2017 Detroit Auto Show press conference, Ford officially confirmed the return of both the Bronco SUV and Ranger pickup, built on a shared body-on-frame platform at its Michigan Assembly Plant. Details were scarce, but the timeline was clear: Ranger for 2019, Bronco for 2020. DPCcars covers the announcement that turned two decades of rumors into an actual product plan.
Ron Smith bought this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona — one of only 503 built — for a road trip before shipping out to Vietnam. He drove it for over a decade after coming home, then parked it in his father’s lockup for more than twenty years. Restorer Marshall Woolery brought it back, and the finished car has since been featured in Hemmings Muscle Machines. Watch to see the Daytona that waited two decades for its second life.
A driver takes a 2017 Camaro ZL1 out for their first-ever laps on track, sharing the session with a Ford GT — one of the most exclusive supercars Ford has built in decades. With a supercharged 650-horsepower LT4 V8 and a chassis engineered specifically for road-course work, the ZL1 was built for exactly this moment. Watch how a first-timer handles a car with this much capability.
A 2008 Shelby GT500 running a smaller supercharger pulley, a custom tune, and drag radials for roughly 650 horsepower takes on a completely stock 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and its factory 556 horsepower LSA V8 in a heads-up quarter mile. The Cadillac’s showing against a 100 horsepower deficit drew real respect in the comments, and the channel even responded to a viewer’s question about the included density altitude data. Watch the run to see just how close a modified car and a stock one can actually be.
V8TV’s “Muscle Car of the Week” spotlights a Rally Red 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda AAR — the numbers-matching, 340 Six-Barrel-powered homologation special built for exactly one model year.

Watch to see why collectors call it the sharpest example they’ve found.
Scott Tiemann’s 1965 Pontiac GTO hardtop has never left the family — his parents bought it new, and he’s been the one showing it off ever since, most recently in Fontaine Blue paint at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. Under the hood sits the tri-power setup that inspired a hit song. Watch to hear the full story of a GTO that never had to be found, because it was never lost.
Car News Central counts down six of the biggest engines General Motors ever built, from cross-divisional big blocks to modern crate motors capable of 500-plus horsepower. Along the way, longtime GM owners weigh in with their own builds — including a stroked 541 cubic inch monster and a 455 doing duty in a boat. Watch to see which engine tops the list.
According to its uploader, this 1985 Camaro IROC-Z28 was showing just 4.3 original miles before it eventually sold at a Mecum auction for ,000 — a genuine time-capsule survivor of the year Chevrolet introduced Tuned Port Injection and borrowed suspension tuning tricks from the Corvette. Watch to see what a virtually unused third-generation IROC-Z looks like decades later, and why collectors treat single-digit mileage as its own distinct category of provenance.
A buyer thought he was picking up a straightforward pre-owned Camaro — until he pressed a remote he didn’t know the car even had.
