Ronnie married the woman who bought this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T brand new in April 1970. They divorced in 1978, but he kept watching the car for decades afterward, waiting for the moment she finally decided to sell. When she did, he had the first chance to buy it back. Watch the story of a marriage that ended and a car that never really left.
KFLY67’s tour of a sprawling Oregon junkyard has racked up nearly half a million views, and the comments do more identifying than the video’s own description ever attempts — a red Chevelle worth real money, a misidentified California Special Mustang, and a four-speed ’66 Chevelle buried among roughly 600 other cars. Watch to see what regional enthusiasts have already spotted for themselves.
Chevelle enthusiasts had swapped rumors for years about a 1970 SS454 sitting untouched inside a collapsed Ohio barn. In May 2017, a grainy cell phone video finally proved the story true — and when the car came out after nearly 40 years, its original buildsheet was still tucked inside the door panel. Read on to find out what that buildsheet revealed about how, and why, this particular Chevelle was built.
A genuine 1970 Plymouth Road Runner convertible — metallic green, 383 V8, 4-speed manual — headed to no-reserve auction as part of the Rietz Mopar Collection sale in Mansfield, South Dakota. Convertible Road Runners were rare even when new, and survivors this complete rarely surface. No reserve means it sells to whoever bids highest, no matter the number. Watch to see what a car this scarce actually brings under the gavel.
A 1968 Plymouth Barracuda spent 32 years parked in a garage, untouched, and what rolled back out is one of just 18 documented examples of its exact build. The owner has confirmed it carries an original BO29 code and a four-speed transmission, a combination rare enough to turn a routine garage find into a genuine survivor story. See the car exactly as it looked the day the door finally opened.
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.
WeBe Autos walks through a sprawling Pennsylvania inventory of classic and muscle-era cars, from a $250 parts-only 1966 Mustang to a $16,000 1958 Ford retractable hardtop. Between the price tags sits a real lesson in what makes a barn find worth chasing versus worth parting out, and how dealers who specialize in scattered private collections actually price decades of outdoor storage. Watch to see what survives, what doesn’t, and what it’s all actually worth.
Behind an unassuming barn door in the Midwest sits a collection most muscle car fans only dream of finding: a Plymouth Superbird, a Dodge Charger 500, a Torino Talladega, and a Cale Yarborough-edition Mercury Cyclone, all from NASCAR’s brief and legendary aero-war era. Ryan Brutt, “The Auto Archaeologist,” documents the find in full. Watch to see exactly what’s been sitting quietly, forgotten, since the height of stock car racing’s strangest arms race.
A barn find 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible, believed to be one of only 17 built with the 370-horsepower Ram Air IV engine and a factory Muncie M21 four-speed, reportedly sold for $350,000. Commenters debated its numbers-matching status, corrected a mistaken transmission claim, and shared their own stories of buying Pontiac muscle cars for a few thousand dollars decades ago. Some want the car restored, others insist it should stay exactly as found. Is this genuinely one of the rarest GTOs left to discover?
After thirty years sitting untouched with its original one owner, this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL — a genuine 428, four-speed big-block — fires back up on camera in Hotwoods Pontoon’s footage. Commenters flooded in with memories of nearly identical family cars from the same era, and one pointed out the fitting choice of Hotel California playing as the engine came back to life. Watch to see whether three decades of silence was enough to keep this 428 from running again.
Charley Lillard’s 1970 Chevrolet Camaro carries just 1,130 actual miles — parked in a heated garage nearly forty years ago after a minor ding and untouched ever since, right down to the original air still sealed in its tires. He debuted it at the first-ever Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois, where it stood out even among a field of other rare survivors. Finds this undisturbed almost never happen.
This 1965 Chevrolet Impala had been sitting in a field, quietly rusting, before BigKleib34 stepped in to bring it back. What came out the other side wasn’t a numbers-matching restoration — it was a heavy, weathered full-size Chevy that one commenter clocked at an estimated 9.2-second quarter mile despite weighing over 4,100 pounds. See what it takes to turn a car left for dead into something that can still put a smile on your face.
Buried under winter road grime for years, this 1970 Plymouth Superbird turned out to be one of the most original wing cars still in existence — 40,000 miles, its factory 440, four-speed, and Dana 60 rear all intact. Instead of a full restoration, the owner chose careful preservation, right down to re-leading the body seams the way Plymouth did in 1970. What’s under all that grime is rarer than most collectors ever get to find. Watch the discovery and early repair work up close.
A chance tip from a friend on the Hot Rod Power Tour led to this overgrown Gulf Coast yard full of forgotten Dodge Challengers, slowly disappearing into the undergrowth after years of neglect. Some parts have already gone on to support other Mopar restorations, while the rest keep decaying where they sit. See what’s left of this hidden E-body stash before nature reclaims it completely.
David Freiburger genuinely forgot he owned this 1970 Plymouth Duster until it turned up buried in dirt on a California grape farm belonging to Engine Masters editor Steve Dulcich. What followed was a five-day sprint to stuff a salvaged 440 big-block into the car, complete with hammered-on headers and a trunk painted before the engine even ran. Longtime fans still call it the best episode Roadkill ever made. Watch the full build and burnout below.
