A 1969 SC/Rambler and a 1968 AMX, both built by American Motors Corporation and both packing the exact same 315-horsepower 390 V8, meet in a quarter-mile race decided almost entirely by rear gearing. AMC loyalists in the comments are still defending both cars against decades of being overlooked by bigger Detroit names. Watch two underdog muscle cars settle an argument that started the same year they were built.
Curiosity Incorporated filmed this junkyard tour outside Edmonton in the snow, walking rows of rare muscle cars that include a blue Mustang in the opening minutes and a convertible Challenger tucked in right behind another find. No music, no filler — just a host viewers call knowledgeable and passionate, wandering a field of forgotten classics. One commenter said it reminded him of watching American Graffiti with his late father. Watch to see what’s buried under the snow.
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?
Todd Bluhm’s 1969 Camaro doesn’t just look like a Pro Street build — it backs it up with over 700 horsepower, a documented 10-second quarter mile at 140 miles per hour, and a wheelie bar that sees regular use. Bluhm has owned the car since 2005 and hasn’t stopped adding performance since. Captured at the 2018 World of Wheels show in Wisconsin, this Camaro represents everything Pro Street culture is built around. Watch to see what happens when the throttle actually opens up.
For nearly three decades, Canadian buyers could drive home a Pontiac that was mechanically almost entirely Chevrolet, running the same frame, the same body shell, and the same small block or big block under the hood. The Parisienne was not a lazy shortcut; it was a deliberate market strategy that let Canadian Pontiac dealers sell a full-size car at all. It finally came south of the border for 1983. Read on to find out why collectors still argue about whether it counts.
A rare 425-horsepower 426 Hemi Road Runner — 1 of just 287 built in 1970 — takes on a 440 Six Pack Challenger in a quarter-mile grudge match that Mopar fans still can’t agree on decades later. Both cars sold for around $4,000 new and are now worth 20 to 40 times that. Watch to see which factory legend crosses the line first.
Miguel Perez’s turbo AWD Chevy Silverado — nicknamed “Lady Bug” for how rough it looks — was built around a stock 5.3 pulled from a junkyard two weeks earlier and an eBay turbo running 35 pounds of boost, for a total cost around $750. His opponent’s Ford Lightning was built for real money and rated at 700 horsepower. Texans have a hashtag for exactly this situation. Watch to see who actually crossed the line first.
The 1969 Mustang Mach 1 offered four different engines under the same blacked-out hood, and two of them wore identical 351 badges while making figures forty horsepower apart. The M-code four-barrel Windsor produced 290 horsepower on 10.7:1 compression; the two-barrel version made 250. The stripe kit looks the same either way. Ford built 72,458 Mach 1s that year. Read on to find out how to tell which one you’re standing in front of.
This 1969 Plymouth Barracuda isn’t fast, and it was never meant to be — its mild 318 and automatic transmission sit well below the muscle car standard. What makes it worth a feature is the factory Mod Top option overhead, a rare floral vinyl roof and interior package that turned a base-model car into one of the most distinctive survivors from the era. Few enthusiasts have ever actually seen one in person. Watch to find out why this quiet Barracuda earned its own spot in the Brothers Collection.
Someone asks a simple question: if you are driving 80 miles per hour, how long does it take to go 80 miles? The answer that comes back has nothing to do with speed, distance, or time. The confused pause afterward is what turned a fifteen-second Jukin Media clip into a comment-section phenomenon with nearly 14 million views. See exactly where the math falls apart.
This 1967 Mustang fastback isn’t a real Shelby GT500 — it’s something arguably more interesting: a meticulously built tribute running a 390 V8, five-speed Tremec, correct Shelby wheels, and a documented Marti Report confirming its original California sale. Every detail, from the subframe connectors to the fiberglass Shelby hood, was chosen to replicate the real thing without the real-thing price tag. One viewer called it a screaming deal even years ago. Watch the full test drive and walkaround to see why.
David Freiburger’s on-camera shout of “Thermoquad!” during Roadkill’s General Mayhem build turned an obscure Carter carburetor into a legend — but few people actually know what makes one different. This Roadkill Extra breaks down the spread-bore design, the unusual plastic float bowl built to fight heat, and exactly why Freiburger called it the carburetor that “punishes” careless drivers. It’s a deep dive into a piece of Mopar hardware most fans only know as a punchline. Watch to finally learn the mechanics behind the meme.
Long before infotainment screens and built-in phones were standard equipment, one enthusiast crammed a television, a telephone, and a working mini bar into a customized 1959 El Camino and called it the Ultimus. Built by hand for a fraction of what a factory concept would cost, its gold metalflake paint and double bubble top made it one of the strangest show cars of its era. Here’s the story behind the build.
A full year or two before the GTO, Barracuda, or Mustang existed, Studebaker, a company that was already dying financially, built a supercharged, aircraft-cockpit-inspired coupe that set a genuine Bonneville land speed record for a factory-stock production car. This 1964 Avanti R2, one of the last built before Studebaker’s original run ended, comes from The Brothers Collection with remarkably low original mileage. Commenters still argue over whether it deserves the title of America’s first true muscle car. Watch and decide for yourself.
