Nick’s Garage pulled a rare 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A Six Pack out of nine years of storage and waited until after closing to attempt the first start alone. A 340ci engine that’s sat that long can seize, hydro-lock, or simply refuse to catch — and the only way to know is to turn the key. Watch to see which way it goes.
A rare 1970 Yenko Nova — one of only 175 built with the solid-lifter LT1 350 — lines up against a car most fans would never expect to see at a drag strip: a supercharged 1964 Studebaker Challenger R3 known on the Pure Stock circuit as “plain brown wrapper.” One car carries a legendary tuner’s name. The other carries a Paxton supercharger and a reputation for embarrassing far more famous machinery. Detailed specs, a genuine underdog story, and a finish line that does not care which badge looks better. Watch to see which one gets there first.
Dodge didn’t build the Charger 500 to win car shows — they built it to win NASCAR races, flush grille and all. Bud Lindemann puts this 426 Hemi example through acceleration, braking, and cornering tests loaded with one-liners that are still quoted decades later. Watch to see why enthusiasts call it the holy grail of Chargers.
This 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, nicknamed 43 Jr. after Richard Petty’s drag racing days, carries an ownership history few restored muscle cars can match. One viewer’s own childhood memory of hearing the car fire up in a small Virginia parking lot fills in a chapter the car’s current owners, brothers Rich and Ron George, could only partly document themselves. Now restored at Richard Petty’s own garage and displayed at his museum, the story comes full circle. Watch the full history.
Rick Campbell spent fifteen years restoring this 1970 Boss 429, chasing exact factory accuracy rather than showroom shine — down to preserving its original California emissions equipment. That patience earned it one of only two Authenticity Awards ever given for the model, shared with a 1969 Boss Mustang rather than a fellow 1970. Built originally to homologate Ford’s 429 big block for NASCAR, this Grabber Blue example is as much a research project as a restoration. Watch the full walkaround.
Trans Am Worldwide is building only fifty examples of this new Super Duty 455 Trans Am, reviving a Pontiac nameplate the company itself hasn’t touched since 2010. This behind-the-scenes look at the design process shows exactly what it takes to recreate a legendary performance car without the original automaker’s backing. The comments are full of Pontiac loyalists still hoping for more. Watch the story behind one of the rarest new Trans Ams ever built.
Hagerty’s Stefan Lombard walks through exactly what to check before buying a Chevrolet Chevelle, from structural rust to hard-to-find trim pieces, in this buyer’s guide built for first-time classic car shoppers. The comments add their own layer of expertise, mapping out the Chevelle’s tangled generational history year by year. Whether you’re chasing a big-block SS or a modest small-block driver, watch before you shop.
Nick’s Garage settles a long-running Mopar argument by testing the exact same stroked 426 Hemi with factory-style manifolds and then with headers, back to back, on the same dyno. The results push back on some assumptions viewers walked in with, and the comments are already asking for a round two with bigger headers. Watch the full pull-by-pull comparison to see which setup actually made more power.
This head-to-head lineup pits vintage muscle — a numbers-matching Cobra Jet, a classic Hemi Charger, an old-school Camaro — against Dodge’s Hellcat, Demon, and Chevy’s ZL1 in a series of quarter-mile drag races. One matchup even needed a handicap start just to keep things fair. Which era actually wins when the light drops green? Watch the full lineup to find out.
This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner A12 was Chrysler’s original pilot car — the very first A12 package ever built, tested and tuned by Mopar legend Ronnie Sox before it landed a feature in Super Stock Magazine. Under the fiberglass hood sits a 440 Six Barrel rated at 390 horsepower, backed by a four-speed and 4.10 gears. Chrysler called it the fastest A12 ever built. Watch to see what earned it that title.
A 1970 Dodge Super Bee, brought back through a full rotisserie restoration and finished in Dodge’s factory Vitamin C orange, is listed at $38,900 with a spec sheet deep enough to satisfy a serious Mopar buyer: a built 440 with Holley and Edelbrock parts, a 727 TorqueFlite, an 8-3/4 rear end, and period-correct details down to the Pistol Grip shifter. See exactly what’s under the paint and whether the asking price actually holds up.
For years, Detroit street racers only knew the Black Ghost by reputation, a black 1970 Challenger R/T SE with a 426 Hemi that beat them and vanished before anyone learned who was driving. Gregory Qualls knows exactly who, because it was his father, an off-duty Detroit police officer. After decades in storage, the car resurfaced, earned a spot on the National Historic Vehicle Register, and inspired a full documentary. Hear the son tell the story only he can tell.
Picking nine cars worth talking about out of an auto show floor crammed with hundreds means making hard editorial calls, and The Verge’s walkthrough of the 2018 New York International Auto Show does exactly that, supercars parked next to daily drivers, all narrowed down to a list viewers are still debating. Some picks are the obvious ones. At least one clearly wasn’t. See which vehicles made the cut and how well those calls have aged.
Roland Cassidy assumed the pitch was too good to be true: a numbers-matching 426 Hemi Superbird with 10,000 original miles, one owner, and a complete paper trail back to a Maine dealership in 1971. It had been sitting untouched in a Massachusetts barn since 1990. Read on to find out what he had to throw in to close the deal.
A freshly rebuilt big-block Chevy, a Muncie M21 four-speed, and 4.10 gears meet a light 1969 Camaro built in the spirit of Don Yenko’s legendary COPO cars — and the tires lose the argument almost immediately. Viewers can’t stop talking about the sound, and one small dashboard gesture at the end says everything about what this build means to its owner. Watch to see the first real pull.
