Carburetor or fuel injection? It’s one of the oldest arguments in the hobby, and Summit Racing’s Dave cuts through the noise. He walks through two-barrel, spread-bore, and race carbs before comparing them fairly to modern EFI — covering what each actually does well. It’s a practical primer for anyone planning an engine build. Watch to finally understand the difference for yourself.
This 1964 Chevrolet Corvair pickup looks like a survivor from Detroit’s strangest experiment — original paint, original body, and the walk-through Rampside styling that made it an oddball when new. But its air-cooled flat-six is long gone, replaced by a 350 Chevy small block and an automatic that make it genuinely drivable today. It is for sale by the owner who built it. Watch to see how it runs.
By 1971, emissions rules and falling compression were strangling Detroit’s muscle cars, and most manufacturers were backing away. On Muscle Car Of The Week, V8TV’s Kevin Oeste argues the 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am refused to go quietly. Behind one of the best-looking shapes of the era, Pontiac engineers did real homework to preserve performance against the incoming regulations. See how the Trans Am held the line as the era wound down.
The classic Mustang is the car that launches countless first-time collectors, and also the one that teaches plenty of them an expensive lesson. In this CJ Pony Parts buyer’s guide, Bill and the crew lay out what really matters when you catch your first pony: structure and rust over shiny paint, driver versus project, and how to spot a car that was painted over rather than properly restored. Get the fundamentals before you buy.
At the World of Wheels show in West Allis, Wisconsin, Dennis Ermi’s 1968 Plymouth Road Runner wears a stunning Pearlescent Orange and black finish and answers to a modest name: ‘Old Runner.’ Behind that humble badge sits a 472 cubic inch big block built for roughly 1,000 horsepower. Lou Costabile gets the story of a decade-long transformation and lets the engine do some of the talking. Hear what a four-figure-horsepower Road Runner sounds like.
Building a budget small block Chevy and staring down a swap-meet table full of cylinder heads? Myvintageiron7512 breaks down exactly which 350 castings are worth your money and which ones will quietly strangle your engine and drain your wallet. The answer hides in the numbers stamped on the casting, and most buyers never read them. Find out which heads to grab and which to leave behind.
That Edelbrock intake bolted to your engine started as raw material poured white-hot in a Southern California foundry — and this video follows the whole journey. Edelbrock opens the doors on its two American facilities to show how a legendary speed part goes from molten metal to finished casting. It’s the side of hot-rodding most enthusiasts never get to see. Watch how the magic actually gets made.
“Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” wasn’t a slogan in the late 1960s — it was a business model, and it produced some of the wildest street cars Detroit ever built. MotorWeek’s Retro Review gathers the Torino, Cyclone, Charger and the winged Superbird to trace how NASCAR shaped the showroom. These were race cars wearing license plates. Watch to see how they earned their reputations.
Ask ten enthusiasts for the ten greatest muscle cars ever built and you’ll start eleven arguments. This countdown from the Next Level Channel takes a swing anyway, hand-picking the heavy hitters of the American performance era and calling out the real power behind each one. Some picks are obvious. A few will have you talking back to the screen. See whether your favorite made the cut.
In 1963 you could walk into a Plymouth dealer and drive out with something barely street-legal — a car engineered less for the boulevard than for the far end of a quarter mile. This Sport Fury from the Brothers Collection is exactly that machine, and its spec sheet reads like a Super Stock entry form. Muscle Car Of The Week digs into what made it a terror at the strip. The compression ratio alone should raise an eyebrow. Watch to see it.
A magazine assignment to imagine a forgotten luxury nameplate reborn somehow became a fully functional one-off, built on a genuine Shelby Cobra chassis and dressed in copper and brass. Commissioned by a metals trade association rather than an automaker, the Mercer-Cobra combined retro coachbuilt styling with real Shelby performance underneath. Decades later, it sold for $660,000 at a Monterey auction. How does a concept car built to promote copper end up among the most valuable one-offs in Shelby history?
By 1971 the Mustang had grown longer, wider and more muscular, and Ford wasn’t done making a statement. This Mach 1 from the Brothers Collection carries the most serious engine option of them all, the one built for people who wanted the last word at a stoplight. V8TV puts it under the lights for Muscle Car Of The Week. The badge on the fender says 429, but the letters after it are what matter. Watch to see it.
