A 1967 Ford Fairlane GT and a 1969 Plymouth GTX go head to head at Palm Beach International Raceway, and the gap between them, 11.41 versus 11.25 seconds, turns out to be closer than the numbers suggest. Both owners showed up in the comments to keep the argument going years later. Watch the quarter mile that started a rivalry neither driver has let go of since.
A private collector’s classified ad seeking any 1968-1972 Plymouth Road Runner or GTX, project or finished, highlights just how differently these two closely related muscle cars are remembered decades later. Built on the same platform but aimed at completely different buyers, telling them apart takes more than a glance at the badge. Read on to find out exactly what separates a genuine GTX from a Road Runner, and why the distinction matters so much to serious buyers.
This 1971 Ford Custom 500 spends less time on a showroom resume and more time sliding sideways through a Southern back road, doubling as the getaway car in Burt Reynolds’ 1973 chase picture White Lightning. Stunt driving from the golden age of practical car chases, with Ned Beatty playing the corrupt sheriff chasing him down. The chase still pulls in six-figure views decades later, proof that a full-size sedan can be just as thrilling as any factory muscle car when the right driver is behind the wheel.
Ranking the greatest muscle cars of all time was always going to start an argument, but slotting a Mercedes-Benz Brabus Bullit 800 into the number three spot sent this comment section into open revolt. Viewers debate what actually counts as a muscle car, what got left off entirely, and whether horsepower numbers alone should decide the list at all. See which cars purists say are missing.
No scoops, no stripes, just dog-dish wheels and a stripped interior, this 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury looks like nothing special until you learn what is under the hood: a 426 Max Wedge Super Stock V8 making an advertised 415 horsepower. One commenter says with modern tires and race gas, it would run 10-second quarter miles today. See why Mopar collectors call these early B-bodies brutes.
A twelve-year-old fell in love with this generation of Mustang after watching a red one chase a Bond villain in Diamonds Are Forever, and this 1971 Mach 1’s 429 Super Cobra Jet is exactly the engine that backs up that on-screen reputation. The bigger, heavier redesign split fans the moment it launched. See why so many of them ended up owning two or three anyway.
1957 was the year the Corvette stopped being just a pretty face, and this Polo White Roadster carries the 283-cubic-inch engine option that made the case. Bill Kotzum of Corvette Mike Midwest walks through why the rare, temperamental fuel-injected version briefly made this America’s quickest production car. Ford had an answer of its own that same year. See how the two rivals compared.
To legally race its wing-nosed Charger on NASCAR’s superspeedways in 1969, Dodge had to build at least 500 street-legal versions first, whether buyers wanted one or not. This Daytona is one of just 503 built to satisfy that rule, and one of 433 fitted with a 440 instead of the Hemi. Some viewers say it is more than any ordinary muscle car deserves to be called. Here is why the rule that created it still matters.
This 1965 Ford Galaxie 500R looks like any other full-size family car of its era, right up until you learn what is under the hood: a dual-quad 427 side-oiler paired with a 4-speed manual. Viewers are calling it their favorite Muscle Car Of The Week episode yet, and the comment section is already lobbying for more full-size sleepers like it. See the burnout that sealed the deal.
A rare 1970 Chevelle SS396 convertible sat parked for decades after being bought new in the Detroit area, and when Patrick Glenn Nichols finally tracked it down in 2017, its odometer became the most argued-over detail in the whole story. Commenters point to worn pedals and a rusted-out SS emblem as evidence the real mileage, and the real history, do not match the dash. See what the wear pattern actually reveals.
A hail storm should have ended this Dodge Challenger’s story before it started, but Stanley “Dirt Monkey” Genadek saw a blank canvas instead of a write-off. The build adds a 3-inch lift, true off-road tires, full rhinoliner armor, and underglow lighting to turn a modern muscle car into something closer to a wasteland runner. Viewers who hated the concept at first are now among its biggest fans.
This video calls itself home to “quite possibly the rarest Mustang in the world” — a badge-engineered German-market car called the T5, renamed because Ford couldn’t use “Mustang” in Germany over a trademark conflict. The comments section immediately went to work fact-checking the engine specs and the exclusivity claim itself. Dig into the debate to find out what’s actually true about one of Mustang history’s stranger footnotes.
This gunmetal-gray Shelby GT500 tribute has been chasing Gone in 60 Seconds’ most famous silhouette for over a decade, and the seller behind the camera — known online simply as Jeff — has spent years selling classic muscle to buyers as far away as Norway and New Zealand. In this test drive, the car barely gets out of first gear before the comments section turns into a shrine. Watch to see why an idle this quiet still gives people chills.
Once a year, El Reno, Oklahoma shuts down a stretch of Route 66 and lets its street racing scene run completely above board — car show, burnout contest, and a straight-up drag lineup that ranges from a sneaky-fast black Vega to a C5 Z06 that surprised everyone with its grip. Longtime viewers are already comparing it to the street racing they grew up with decades ago. Watch to see which car earns bragging rights this time.
At a Good Guys car show in May 2013, a 1968 Chevelle SS clipped a concrete barrier during an autocross run — and more than a decade later, the comments are still debating whether the course itself was the real problem. Between complaints about missing hay bales, no helmets, and an oversized figure-8 layout, this brief fender-bender turned into a lasting argument about event safety. Watch to see how close it actually came to being much worse.
