After months of leaked photos and rumors, the 2019 Corvette ZR1 finally arrived as the most powerful production Corvette Chevrolet had ever built, complete with a supercharged LT5 V8 and an optional high-wing aero package built for real downforce, not just looks. It also happened to be the final send-off for the front-engine C7 generation before everything changed. Watch to see exactly what made this ZR1 worth the wait.
A faded 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II, a plain-looking 1965 Ford Galaxie, and a Studebaker Avanti with a supercharger hiding under unassuming sheet metal all have one thing in common: nobody expects them to be fast. This lineup from the Brothers Collection proves that some of the quickest muscle cars of the era were built specifically to not look the part. Watch to see which of these sleepers would fool you first.
Muscle car and pony car get used interchangeably so often that even lifelong enthusiasts mix them up on camera. The real difference comes down to platform, body style, and the reason each category exists in the first place, and cars like the Boss 429 Mustang blur that line on purpose. Watch to find out which side of the debate your favorite classic actually falls on.
This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, wrapped in TorRed with its towering wing and pointed nose, was reportedly the getaway car in a heist at Harrah’s Casino in Reno, Nevada, before its outlaw drivers were caught. Today it sits fully restored in the respected Brothers Collection, its 426 Hemi V8 far removed from its criminal past. Watch to see how a NASCAR aero car built for speedways ended up on the wrong side of the law.
A casual online post about an old car sitting in a barn led one collector on a short drive through Wisconsin and straight into muscle car history: a 1967 Mercury Comet Caliente built with the ultra-rare R-code 427, dual four-barrel carburetors, and a four-speed manual. Cars this specific almost never survive intact, let alone get rediscovered by accident. Watch to see exactly what fifty years in a barn does to a car this rare.
A classic Corvette burnout at the Tierra Verde car show over Easter weekend goes sideways in an instant — and somehow doesn’t end the way it looked like it would. The save happens in a matter of milliseconds, the kind of moment that gets replayed and argued over for years. Was it skill or luck? Watch the clip and judge the save for yourself.
The Gran Torino’s white-striped red paint job made it a pop culture icon on 1970s TV — but the 2004 Starsky & Hutch film had to prove the car all over again to a new audience. Car Chase Wonderland isolates the full chase sequence built around it, stripped down to just the driving. Whether the remake improves on the original chase is more complicated than it looks. Watch and decide for yourself.
American V8 muscle and turbocharged import tuners meet on the same quarter mile at a Street Wars grudge night at Englishtown’s Raceway Park, each camp bringing cars built specifically to embarrass the other. Recorded in March 2016, this footage captures exactly the kind of unpredictable, anything-goes racing that’s kept the muscle-versus-import debate alive for decades. Watch to see who actually wins the argument that night.
Fewer than 20 examples of this 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible are believed to exist in its exact configuration — a 375-horsepower 429 Super Cobra Jet, drag pack, and 4-speed manual paired, oddly, with a bench seat. V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week pulls this black-and-red survivor from the Brothers Collection to explain how two contradictory build sheets ended up in one car. Watch to see the full breakdown.
Every long-term restoration eventually meets the same opponent: a bolt that’s fused itself to the metal around it after decades of rust. Jeff walks through a removal method he says he’s never seen anywhere else, tested live on an actual seized fastener — then shows what to do when one snaps regardless. It’s the kind of practical fix that saves a project rather than stalling it. Watch before your next stuck bolt wins.
A 1969 SC/Rambler and a 1968 AMX, both packing AMC’s 390 V8 at an identical 315 horsepower, meet on the same quarter mile in this Road Test TV throwback. The only real difference between them is a rear gear ratio — but gears alone rarely decide a drag race. Two of AMC’s most overlooked muscle cars finally get to settle an old argument. Watch to see who wins.
Somewhere outside Edmonton, a field holds row after row of muscle cars that time and the scrapyard forgot — some rare enough that most collectors only know them from magazines. Curiosity Incorporated walks the entire property, camera rolling, cataloging exactly what’s sitting out there before it’s gone for good. The tour runs long, but by the end you’ll understand why. Watch to see what turns up.
A rare four-speed 1970 Dodge Coronet convertible rolls into Nick’s Garage for a full 440 teardown, and what comes out of the block settles questions no amount of paperwork could answer. From bearing wear to casting numbers, the engine tells its own story about how this Mopar was really driven and cared for. Watch to see what fifty years leaves behind.
A routine freeway merge on California’s I-15/78 interchange turned into a standoff after one driver forced her way into a gap that had already been generously offered — directly in front of a police cruiser, which responded with a honk instead of a stop. Dashcam footage caught the whole exchange, a reminder of why more drivers, especially those behind the wheel of something valuable, are running cameras full time. What the officer chose to do next is the part worth watching for.
A close-up of chrome-laden headlights doesn’t give away the model year on its own, but it does tell you this is a Ford Thunderbird built during the era when brightwork sold cars. Ford built the T-Bird to beat the brand-new Corvette at its own game — and it worked, generation after generation, from lean two-seaters to big-block four-seaters that broke sales records. Which chapter of that story is parked in this garage?
