1966 Plymouth Belvedere: The Year Plymouth Let the Street Hemi Loose

A plain-looking yellow two-door hides one of Mopar’s best-kept secrets: 1966 was the only year Plymouth let ordinary buyers order the legendary 426 Street Hemi in a Belvedere. Born out of a NASCAR homologation fight and rated at 425 horsepower, it turned a mid-size family car into a genuine street terror — and did it in staggeringly small numbers. Whether this particular car is running the real thing or just wearing the look, it’s a reminder that some of the era’s wildest engineering hid behind the most modest badges.

by Wes

A 1972 Plymouth GTX and Road Runner running a modified 318 small block, re-sleeved to accept 340 pistons, takes on a 1994 Impala SS riding on chrome 20s and a factory 260-horsepower LT1. Comments from nearly two decades of viewers confirm the budget build held up long after the cameras stopped rolling. Watch to see why the Impala’s driver stopped smiling by the end of the run.

by Wes

RamblinAround tracks down one of only 503 original 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas ever built, still running its factory 440 V8 and finished in correct T5 Copper paint. The Daytona’s nose cone and rear wing were built to break NASCAR speed records, and did, forcing the sport to change its rules. Watch to see the winged Mopar that inspired decades of dream-car regret in the comments.

Sinister Nissan GTR Challenges A 1,000 HP 69 Camaro !

by Wes

A Camaro built for over 1,000 horsepower, backed by nitrous, takes on a tuned Nissan GT-R in a straight-line grudge race — and the outcome hinges less on horsepower than on which car can actually put its power to the pavement. Commenters call the GT-R “hell on wheels” while sympathizing with the Camaro’s traction problems. Watch to see whether raw American muscle or all-wheel-drive precision wins the day.

Street Outlaws KAMIKAZE Gets Busted By The Cops While Street Racing On Texas Streets!

by Wes

A crew filming for “Texas Streets” set out to capture a real test hit from Kamikaze, the big-block, nitrous-fed El Camino known to Street Outlaws fans — no barriers, no safety net, no staged police cameo. What they got instead was a nasty, fiery pass followed by an unscripted visit from actual police after the noise woke up the neighborhood. See how a supposedly routine test hit turned into one of the rawest moments the channel has caught on camera.

Cars Garage skips the dyno-pull theatrics and shows the entire assembly of a Chevrolet Corvette 6.2L supercharged LS9 — the engine that once made the ZR1 the fastest production car GM had ever built. Every torque spec, every forged component, every step from bare block to finished 638-horsepower engine is on camera. Watch to see what actually separates a factory-grade rebuild from a shortcut.

Tom Lembeck’s 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda 426 Hemi convertible isn’t hiding in a climate-controlled garage — it’s driving Chicago streets, top down, in Winchester Gray. Lou Costabile’s “My Car Story” catches the owner firing up one of the rarest engines Detroit ever built and talking candidly about what it’s like to actually live with a seven-figure Mopar. Watch to hear the Elephant motor come alive.

by Wes

This Candy Apple Red 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback 2+2 carries an engine that had only been on sale for a few months when it left Dearborn, paired with a GT package that skipped a feature most people assume every GT got. V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week caught up with it at The Brothers Collection, and the car makes a case that not every great Mustang needs a big-block name to matter. Watch to see what viewers are still arguing about in the comments.

Supercharged 1973 Dodge Charger R / T SOUND very nasty as hell!

by Wes

An Estonian builder captures the exact moment a freshly assembled, supercharged 440 big-block fires for the first time, destined for a 1973 Dodge Charger R/T. It’s the moment that either validates months of build work or reveals a costly problem, and the aggressive idle that follows makes clear which one this was. Hear what a genuinely blown Mopar big-block sounds like before it’s even been tuned.

The list isn’t perfect (a few older models slipped in), but the reaction proves one car stole the whole show. Watch to see which upcoming muscle car has fans arguing the most.

by Wes

Fred Mandrick’s 1968 Oldsmobile FWD 442 Toronado, nicknamed the Fouranado, is the only one of its kind, born from a Hurst/Olds engineering experiment in the program’s very first year. The previous owner kept it for 42 years before Fred took over in 2012, and it later stood as the featured car at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. Watch to hear how a one-off prototype survived five decades intact.

Barn Find 1968 Mustang GT500KR Convertible

by Wes

This 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible spent roughly forty years buried in storage before Patrick Glenn Nichols uncovered it, a numbers-matching barn find rare enough to land on the cover of HOT ROD Magazine. Convertibles were already the scarcest GT500KR body style, and this one still wears its original, oddball factory hardware. Watch to see just how much is still original underneath the dust.
