A soft yellow 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II with a gold interior looks built for grocery runs, not for embarrassing faster cars off the line. Underneath sits a 426 Hemi paired with a four-speed stick, the kind of factory sleeper combination Chrysler quietly offered to buyers who wanted serious power without the attention. This documented example comes from the Brothers Collection by way of V8 Speed and Resto Shop. See what is hiding under that unassuming hood.
Plymouth had a genuinely serious sales pitch for the 1969 Road Runner: it had just been named Motor Trend Car of the Year, beating out far pricier competition. Rather than lead with that fact, the company built a commercial around Wile E. Coyote and his eternal chase, letting a cartoon rivalry do the talking for a real performance bargain. It is a strange and charming piece of muscle car advertising history. Watch to see how the joke and the trophy fit together.
Compression ratio sounds simple until you actually try to calculate it for your own engine build — and getting it wrong can mean the difference between reliable power and an engine that pings itself apart. David Freiburger breaks down the theory and the practical math in this Roadkill Extra segment. Watch before you order your next set of pistons.
Rows of 1967 to 1969 Camaros sit quietly rusting in a Vancouver, Washington field in this salvage yard tour — some barely holding together, others still looking rescuable with the right buyer. It’s equal parts nostalgia and treasure hunt for anyone who loves the first-generation body style. Watch the full walkthrough to see what’s still out there.
The AMC AMX never had Detroit’s marketing muscle behind it, but it had something more important: a real power-to-weight advantage over cars that cost more and weighed more. This /DRIVE+ segment finally gives one of muscle car history’s most overlooked cars its due. Watch to see why it deserved better the first time around.
A dashcam caught the exact moment a semi truck ran a red light and collided with a passenger car — a crash violent enough to send both drivers to the hospital, though thankfully without severe injuries. It’s a stark reminder of how fast an ordinary intersection can turn dangerous. Watch the moment of impact for yourself.
Ed Wheeldon — known around Eddyville Dragway as Fast Eddie — once turned down a ,000 offer for his 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi Special, one of the rarest factory drag package cars Mopar ever built. Instead of selling, he still runs it in exhibition passes for a appearance fee. Watch to see why some cars are worth more than the check.
The Ford Falcon XB GT that became Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor is more than a movie prop — to Australians, it’s a cultural icon on the level of the Millennium Falcon. Big Sonny & Co traces the car’s full story, from its role opposite Mel Gibson to a present-day campaign to bring it home to Melbourne. Watch to learn why one modified Falcon still means so much to an entire country.
Ford built just 100 Fairlane Thunderbolts for 1964, each one stuffed with a 427 cubic inch V8 designed for a much bigger car and stripped down for one job: winning at the drag strip. Built off Ford’s regular assembly line in partnership with Dearborn Steel Tubing, the Thunderbolt secured Ford’s 1964 NHRA Super Stock championship. Today, surviving examples rank among the rarest factory drag cars ever built.
One of the actual Dodge Chargers driven by Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious films now belongs to an Italian muscle car collector, and for one event, he decided to find out what it could really do. Rather than keep it as a static piece of movie history, the car got taken to an Italian dragstrip for a run most owners of a car this valuable would never risk. Watch to see how a genuine piece of franchise history performs when it’s not on a movie set.
A motor without a home found one in this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, when Quality Custom Rides took on a V12 LS build that had been sitting without a project car attached to it. The result debuted quietly, missed by most fans at SEMA before finally surfacing at the 2017 NSRA Street Rod Nationals. Its owner had held onto the Camaro since he was nineteen, waiting for the right build to come along. Watch to see what finally made it happen.
A casual freeway cruise turned into something else entirely when a Hennessey-built C7 Corvette Stingray, pushing close to 600 rear-wheel horsepower, decided to show off at triple-digit speeds. What started as friendly bait between two cars ended with red and blue lights in the mirror. Watch to see how the run — and the aftermath — actually played out.
