A 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible pulls into the World of Wheels show wearing a custom green that has no name on any factory chart, until its owner explains why. Built by Mark Klopack of Hot Rod Auto as a full restomod, the car hides a deeply personal story behind its paint and its name, Irish Eyes. Viewers who caught the segment on My Car Story left the comments more moved than they expected. The reason has nothing to do with horsepower.
A 1970 Dodge Super Bee test drive from Joyriderestorations turned into something more than just a walk-around when the driver got behind the wheel and the Hurst pistol-grip shifter had other plans. Viewers piled into the comments with equal parts car envy and friendly ribbing about missed gears. One longtime Mopar fan even shared the story of the identical Super Bee he drove at 17 and still remembers to this day. Watch to see what makes this pistol-grip icon so unforgiving.
A supercharged small block Cutlass and a big block Chevelle met on the same starting line in this MidWestStreetDrags heads-up money race, and viewers say they could call the winner before the tree even dropped. The matchup reignited one of drag racing’s oldest arguments: boost versus cubic inches. Only one build walked away with bragging rights — and the other guy’s cash. Watch to see whether displacement or forced induction wins the day.
The Dodge Tomahawk looks like the fastest thing Chrysler ever built — a four-wheeled motorcycle concept powered by the same 8.3-liter V10 found in the Dodge Viper, with a rumored top speed near 400 mph. The reality behind that number is far stranger than the marketing ever let on. This video pits the Tomahawk against the car it borrowed its heart from. Watch to find out which one Dodge actually built to win.
A nearly 2,000-horsepower Mustang convertible dominated the small-tire class at Street Car Takeover St. Louis, a combination 1320video says they “rarely EVER see” at events like this one. Convertibles typically struggle in small-tire competition due to chassis flex, making this build’s consistency genuinely unusual. Watch to see how it pulled off a class win nobody expected from an open-top car.
This quiz-format rundown of Dodge trivia mixes real automotive history with one deliberately planted lie, daring viewers to separate fact from fiction across seven claims — from the 1968 Charger’s controversial “Coke bottle” styling to a Lamborghini connection behind the Viper’s V10. Some of it is common knowledge among Mopar fans. At least one claim is designed to catch even serious enthusiasts off guard. Watch to the end to see which fact doesn’t hold up.
Jason Fenske’s Engineering Explained video takes a skeptical premise — can a motor oil really go a full year, or 20,000 miles, without a change — and turns it into a two-day tour of Mobil 1’s actual testing facility in Paulsboro, New Jersey. It’s detailed enough that even the video’s own top comment from an engineer viewer admits marketing claims and engineering data don’t always tell the same story. Watch to see exactly what convinced Fenske, and what one sharp-eyed commenter thinks the testing still left out.
Often called the car that started the entire muscle car genre, this 1965 Pontiac GTO rolls in wearing Tiger Gold paint, a 389 V8, and the close-ratio four-speed and limited-slip rear end that made it more than just a big engine in a mid-size body. Former GTO owners flooded the comments with their own stories, from decade-long daily-driver ownership to heated debates over the single best factory color combination. Watch the breakdown of the car that made John DeLorean’s rule-bending idea a legend.
A reviewer who’s owned both a Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a Camaro SS 1LE gets behind the wheel of a 2018 Camaro ZL1, and by his own admission, it’s the closest anything has come to matching his Hellcat’s thrill since he sold it. Between a digital speedometer that skips numbers under hard acceleration and a stranger leaning out of traffic to snap a photo, this review captures exactly why one commenter summed the ZL1 up in three words: smiles per gallon. Watch to see what won him over.
Ford spent months teasing the next Shelby GT500 in camouflage and speculation before confirming it for the 2020 model year. Spy shots revealed a wider front track, massive Brembo brakes, and a supercharged version of the GT350’s 5.2-liter V8, while rumors pointed toward horsepower figures that dwarfed the outgoing GT500’s 662. Read on to find out how close the leaked details actually came to the car Ford eventually built.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible looks period-correct from ten feet away, but everything holding it together is decades newer than the body it’s wearing — a brand-new LS2 crate V8, a Bowtie Stage 3 automatic, four-wheel disc brakes, and ice-cold A/C hidden behind a frame-off restoration that took two years to complete. Vanguard Motor Sales walks through a build sheet detailed enough to make plenty of numbers-matching purists reconsider what “correct” should actually mean. Watch to see exactly what a modern restomod Corvette gets right — and what it deliberately leaves behind.
A 1969 GT500 that surfaced in Detroit in 2015 turned out to be far more than a rare production car — research confirmed it as the literal first Mustang built at Dearborn specifically for conversion into a Shelby prototype. Only four such prototypes were ever ordered. Read on for how three collectors pieced together nearly fifty years of hidden history.
Hennessey Performance’s 800-horsepower Cadillac Escalade HPE800 lines up against a completely stock 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE, and the family SUV jumps out front before the Camaro claws back ground at the top end. Viewers immediately drew comparisons to the legendary 1991 GMC Syclone that once embarrassed a Ferrari, and debated whether the ZL1’s manual transmission cost it the race. Watch to see just how close a stock sports car can stay against 200 extra horsepower wrapped in three rows of leather seats.
MotorWeek puts the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE through its high-speed track test at Roebling Road Raceway, and even loyal BMW M3 owners in the comments admit this might be the car GM should have built decades ago. Between the factory exhaust note, the Multimatic dampers, and lap times that rival cars costing twice as much, this segment became a rallying point for Chevrolet, BMW, and Pontiac fans alike. Watch the corner-by-corner test that convinced skeptics.
