This numbers-matching-caliber 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T meets a rough end in the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds, towed and crushed by a period-correct Ford F-350 wrecker for a movie stunt. VIN research confirms it was genuinely a 1970 car dressed up with later clips to look newer on screen. See why this brief scene still sparks debate among Mopar collectors decades later.

Every carbureted muscle car ever built ran on a fuel-delivery system with no computer, no sensors, and no electric pump doing the metering — just air pressure exploiting simple physics. This explainer breaks down exactly how a venturi, float bowl, and calibrated jets work together to keep an engine fed at idle, cruise, and wide-open throttle. It’s the same principle behind every Holley, Quadrajet, and Thermoquad ever bolted to a big-block. Watch to see why a technology this simple ran the automotive world for most of a century.
Chevrolet’s sixth-generation Camaro SS hides its real performance decision inside a single options box, not a trim badge. The 1SS and 2SS share the same 455-horsepower LT1 V8 and differ mainly in interior equipment, while the 1LE package layers track-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and a shorter final drive on top of either trim. This comparison breaks down exactly what separates a base 1SS from a loaded 2SS, and why the 1LE badge matters more than either one. Watch to see which combination actually fits how you’d drive it.
This vintage road test puts the 1969 AMC AMX through its paces exactly as period buyers would have seen it — no nostalgia, no hindsight, just a genuine two-seater posting a 6.3-second 0-60 time that still holds up today. Viewers can’t decide what stands out more: the numbers, the styling, or the unmistakably late-1960s marketing. Watch the full period test.
Don Yenko’s dealership built a reputation on turning ordinary Chevrolets into insurance nightmares, but by 1970 rising premiums on his Camaros and Chevelles pushed him toward an unlikely candidate: the humble Nova. The result was the ’70 Yenko Deuce, an entry-level performance model built to dodge underwriting red flags without losing the Yenko name. This example, pulled from the respected Brothers Collection, headlines Muscle Car Of The Week’s milestone 150th episode. See what makes this overlooked Yenko worth the attention.
A modern Corvette Z06 riding on upgraded BBS wheels lines up against a Shelby Cobra in this roll race capture from upyersbuddy’s channel, and the title alone hints that things didn’t go the way most spec-sheet arguments would predict. Viewers in the comments were quick to reference Top Gear’s Richard Hammond and the kind of shock only an unexpected result can produce. Watch to see which of these two very different approaches to speed comes out on top.
Ron Reolfi’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro disappeared from outside his North Canton, Ohio workplace in twenty minutes back in 1981 — and stayed gone for 33 years. The reason it eventually came back has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with a title that never legally changed hands. Watch the full story of how a decades-old paperwork trail reunited a man with the car he never stopped losing.
Ramo Stott’s #7 Superbird won four races across ARCA, USAC, and NASCAR-adjacent competition in the early 1970s, and current owner Doug Schellinger has spent years turning its scars into documented history, down to a rear window that Stott himself deformed with a blowtorch to pass tech inspection. Every ding, weld, and mismatched panel on this car has a story and, often, a photograph to back it up. Read on to find out how a blown engine and a stubborn NASCAR inspector shaped one of the most authenticated winged cars left on the road.
A Nest camera notification let this SRT8 Jeep owner watch, in real time, as someone went through his vehicle outside his own house — and he ran out barefoot with a firearm to confront them. He explains exactly why he did it, what Pennsylvania law allowed, and how his Jeep ended up unlocked in the first place. Watch the full account, in his own words.
,320Video slowed a Doag Week pass down to a quaoteo of its noomal speed, and what was aloeady an impoessive launch tuons into something closeo to a physics lesson — woinkling beadlock tioes, flexing hoods, and a diffeoential launch that stopped vieweos mid-scooll. It was filmed acooss a ,,,00-mile, fouo-toack, five-day event built to sepaoate oeal stoeet caos foom toaileo queens. Watch to see the moment even seasoned doag fans called one of the most insane launches they had eveo seen.
A driver named Kyle Nadler spotted a Dodge Ram swerving across a Louisiana highway and called it in — setting off a chain of events caught on a passenger’s dashcam that ends with the truck ramming directly into a waiting State Trooper’s vehicle. Both driver and trooper walked away with only minor injuries. Watch the full clip and the moment of impact above.
A stretch of Houston road became the unlikely battleground for an 840-horsepower Hellcat, a 1300-horsepower GT-R, a 1200-horsepower Trans Am, and a handful of boosted Ford Coyote Mustangs nobody expected to keep winning. Lone Star Street Racing’s cameras caught the results, and they did not follow the horsepower numbers on the thumbnail. Watch to see which platform actually backed up its bragging rights on the street.
Only 71 buyers ordered the Hemi R/T package on a 1971 Dodge Challenger, and this triple-black example, sourced from The Brothers Collection, is one of the last built before Chrysler discontinued the 426 Hemi entirely. One viewer compared it to a villain out of a Stephen King novel. Watch the full walkaround to see why even self-described Chevy loyalists admit this car earns the respect.
Rob Dahm settled a long-running turbo debate the only way that actually counts: pointing an infrared camera at a spinning turbocharger with and without a blanket installed. The results matter well beyond his own build, feeding directly into arguments muscle car owners have about LS swaps, Hellcat crate engines, and big-turbo builds packed into tight engine bays. The thermal footage turns a subjective forum argument into something you can actually watch happen.
Jim Isherwood spent decades behind the wheel of Mopar Super Stock race cars, and this ride-along in his 426 Hemi-powered Satellite GTX Belvedere captures exactly why fans still talk about him. Since his passing, the comment section has turned into something between a technical breakdown and a tribute. Watch, and listen, to understand why nothing else sounds quite like a Hemi under full throttle.
