Ben’s 1976 Ford Cortina runs two turbos and a supercharger at the same time — a combination most builders wouldn’t attempt — chasing a fourteen-second skid record at Australia’s Summernats. 1320video caught the moment his BADASS Boost Factory finally got its shot, built entirely on the strength of people telling him it couldn’t be done. Watch to see how close he got before the car had other ideas.
The 1970s get blamed for killing American muscle, but Zueira Automotiva’s roundup argues the decade deserves a second look. Between insurance surcharges, tightening emissions rules, and a horsepower rating system that changed overnight, plenty of genuinely quick cars got buried under a reputation they didn’t fully earn. Watch to see which ones still hold up.
A blown Terminator Cobra and a stick-shift 1969 Camaro lined up for a straight grudge match, the kind of pairing that splits a crowd into two camps before the tree even drops. TheBayAreaRacing caught the run on camera, pitting a factory-backed power adder against nothing but old iron and a driver’s left foot. Watch to see which generation of muscle wins the day.
Before it had a name, the 2018 Dodge Demon showed up to the 2017 Gator Nationals wearing camouflage and an NDA. Grid Banter caught the test mule’s first public quarter-mile pass, and even the Dodge rep on hand wouldn’t confirm what was under the hood. Watch to see the run that helped kick off an NHRA rule change before the car was even official.
A twin-turbo Mustang, a supercharged Hellcat, and a heavily built BMW M6 lined up for a night of street racing in Mexico that the video simply calls ‘fun.’ Three completely different approaches to horsepower faced off in back-to-back runs, each with something to prove against the other two. Watch the full lineup and see which build actually delivered.
1971 gave the Plymouth ‘Cuda a face it would wear for exactly one model year — quad headlights, fender gills, a grille nicknamed for its resemblance to a cheese grater — right as insurance companies and emissions rules began closing in on cars like it. Order the 440 Six-Pack that year and you got three two-barrel carburetors, a Dana 60 rearend, and a spot among roughly 254 built. It was the last stand for Mopar’s biggest small-car engines.
Dave Murawski was thirteen years old the first time a Buick GS Stage 1 caught his eye, and he didn’t own one of his own until 2010. This 1972 example in Arctic White, powered by Buick’s 455-cubic-inch big block, represents the closing of a decades-long chapter that started with a kid watching one drive past. See the car, and hear that 455, for yourself.
Lynne Adam learned to drive on this 1960 Ford Thunderbird decades before it disappeared into storage, only to reemerge in 2002 for a restoration that would take her husband Mike thirteen years to finish. Painted Monte Carlo Red, the finished Square Bird made its public debut at the 2016 World of Wheels show in Wisconsin. Watch the engine come to life for the very first time in front of a crowd.
A 1967 Chevrolet Impala sat untouched for thirty-three years before its owner finally turned the key to see what, if anything, would happen. Revival videos like this one capture something polished dealer walkarounds never can: the real uncertainty of bringing a long-dormant machine back to life. Watch to see whether three decades of silence gave way to a running engine.
Every 1967 Chevelle SS396 packed a 325-horsepower big block standard, but a rare RPO code pushed that to 375 horsepower — and fewer than 700 of the roughly 63,000 built that year got it. We dig into what made the L78 package a holy grail for collectors, and why 1967 might be the most underrated year in Chevelle history.
A routine arrival at a car show took a turn nobody expected when this Chevelle lost control and ended up in a ditch instead of a parking spot. It’s a short clip, but it captures exactly how fast things can go sideways the moment a classic muscle car leaves smooth pavement for soft ground. Every classic owner who’s ever navigated an unfamiliar field will wince watching this one. See how it happened.
This 1968 Buick Skylark looks almost entirely stock from the outside — which is exactly the point. Underneath sits a 455 with upgraded valve train components and a stall converter dialed in to launch hard, a combination that’s put this mostly original car into 11-second quarter mile territory. It’s the sleeper formula executed about as well as it gets. Watch the joyride and see just how much this unassuming Skylark can really do.
Auto Archaeology tracked down something rarer than a single barn find: two separate hidden stashes of Mopars, one tucked inside a long-abandoned auto parts showroom, the other buried into the side of a hillside in an old barn. Decades of dust, rodents, and neglect couldn’t erase what makes these cars special — rare B-body and E-body Mopars that collectors have chased for years. See exactly what was uncovered in both locations.
