2007 or 1969 BOSS Mustang ??

by Wes

At first glance it looks like a flawlessly preserved 1969 Boss 302, chrome bumpers, shaker hood and all, until the modern stance gives away a secret hiding underneath. Filmed at Tennessee’s Pigeon Forge Rod Run, this fastback pairs a reproduction Boss 302 body with the chassis of a 2007 Mustang GT, blending Ford’s Trans-Am-bred styling with modern brakes and drivetrain reliability. Viewers, including admirers as far away as the UK, are asking why Ford never built this combination themselves. So what’s really underneath that unmistakable 1969 skin?

The 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7 That Out-Luxuried the Pony Car Wars

by Kiril

Everyone remembers the Mustang and Camaro when the pony car wars of the late 1960s come up, but the Mercury Cougar XR-7 quietly out-luxuried both of them. This 1969 example paired leather upholstery and a walnut-toned dash with the option to order the same 428 Cobra Jet terrorizing dragstrips in Ford’s own cars that year. Read on to find out what made Mercury’s gentleman’s muscle car a genuine performance threat hiding behind upscale trim.

‘48 Indian Chief Motorcycle Cold Start After 40 Years!

by Wes

A 1948 Indian Chief that hadn’t turned over in forty years sat quiet at Kiwi Motorcycles in Riverside, California, until a small crew decided to find out if the engine had actually died or just gone to sleep. What came next was a cloud of exhaust smoke, a rough idle settling into a steady thump, and a comment section full of riders who still remember exactly what a stock flathead V-twin sounds like. Watch to see if forty years of silence really was the end.

The 1969 Mustang Convertible Only 1 in 20 Buyers Actually Ordered

by Kiril

Ford sold nearly 300,000 Mustangs in 1969, but only about 1 in 20 buyers chose the convertible, and this quad-headlight droptop shows exactly why survivors like it turn heads at every show. From the compact straight six all the way up to the thunderous 428 Cobra Jet, the ’69 convertible offered something for every kind of buyer willing to pay the premium. Here’s what made this body style the rare bird of Ford’s restyled Mustang.

1969 Camaro Z28 vs 1968 Chevelle SS – Drag Race – Road Test TV

by Wes

A 1969 Camaro Z/28, built for road racing rather than raw power, lines up against a 1968 Chevelle SS built around old-fashioned big-block torque, at Palm Beach International Raceway. It is Chevrolet against itself, two completely different engineering philosophies from the same manufacturer settling an argument muscle car fans have never stopped having. Watch to see which approach wins this particular pass.

1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 Super Cobra Jet Pilot Car

by Wes

This 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT was built to be crushed. As a factory pilot car used to validate Mercury’s production line, its entire purpose ended the moment testing wrapped up, most cars in this role never survive to see a public road. This one did, and it came loaded with the Super Cobra Jet package: a 375-horsepower 429 V8, four-speed manual, and 4.30 gears built for straight-line speed. Watch to find out how a car that was never meant to exist ended up in the Brothers Collection decades later.

Another Amazingly Beautiful And Dangerous Mustang Fastback

by Wes

Some cars are built to be admired. The Agent 47 Harbinger Mustang, an all flat black widebody build caught on camera by RealMCR12, seems built to be feared instead. Viewers compared it to something the Devil would drive, called it a Darth Vader Stang, and argued it beats out Lamborghinis and Ferraris on pure presence alone. See the build — and the reaction — that had commenters split between awe and wanting more throttle.

Muscle Cars Old School vs New School

by Wes

High Tech Corvette put a nearly 1,000-horsepower C7 Z06 up against a purpose-built Chevy Nova in a straightforward roll race, and the result was not the foregone conclusion the horsepower gap suggests. Viewers who expected the modern Corvette to walk away were surprised by how close it actually was. Watch to see which car takes it.

Old vs. New: ’72 Chevelle Big Block vs. 2010 Camaro SS/RS!

by Wes

A roll race across a bridge between a 2010 Camaro SS/RS and a 1972 Chevelle big-block should have been a formality – decades of engineering separate the two cars. Instead, four words in the original upload told the whole story: Chevelle won. The unscripted footage has since raked in over 1.4 million views and sparked an ongoing old-vs-new debate in the comments. Find out what gave the fifty-year-old Chevelle the edge.

2016 Dodge Viper ACR Hot Lap! – 2016 Best Driver’s Car Contender

by Wes

Pro driver Randy Pobst hot laps the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR around Laguna Seca for MotorTrend’s Best Driver’s Car competition — and the naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 manual holds its own against cars costing many times its roughly $120,000 price. It’s the first car in the test to hit 1.5g in a corner. Watch the full lap to see why commenters call it the last of its kind.

Holy Grail 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 Barn Find

by Wes

This 1970 Chevelle spent 35 years parked in the Dallas area, and what’s underneath the dust is about as good as barn finds get — a factory Tuxedo Black LS6 454 rated at 450 horsepower, backed by the desirable M22 ‘Rock Crusher’ four-speed. It’s exactly the combination Chevelle collectors call a holy grail. Watch to see what three and a half decades of dormancy did to one of the rarest muscle cars GM ever built.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454: The Engine Chevy Almost Didn’t Let You Order

by Kiril

A blue Chevelle sitting in a used-car lot doesn’t look like much until you check what’s under the hood. Chevrolet’s 1970 SS454 came in two flavors, and only one of them, the solid-lifter LS6, earned real muscle car legend status. Fewer than 4,500 Chevelles ever left the factory with this engine, out of over 62,000 SS models built that year. Here’s why that scarcity still makes collectors stop in their tracks.

WHEN BURNOUTS GO BAD!!!

by Wes

Flinty460 spent a full year collecting the burnouts that didn’t go according to plan — tire fires, rods punched clean through engine blocks, and wall hits caught in the moment things went wrong. It’s less a highlight reel than an honest record of how thin the margin is between a great burnout and a very bad one. Watch to see exactly where each of these went sideways.

Muscle Car Of The Week: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi Video

by Wes

This 1969 Dodge Charger R/T pairs the factory-rated 425-horsepower 426 Hemi with a rare 3-speed automatic transmission, a combination found in only a few hundred of the more than 20,000 Charger R/Ts built that year. Part of the Brothers Collection, it carries just over 50,000 original miles. Watch to see what made this specific combination so unusual.
