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.
Most self-described Mustang fans can name the car on sight, but can they name the fighter plane it’s named after, or the year its horsepower hit an all-time low? This look at pony car trivia digs into the prototype badges, supercharger conversions, and Hollywood cameos that built the Mustang legend, ahead of a quick IQ test to see how much of it you actually knew.
The most famous Mustang in movie history never rolled out of a Shelby shop, never carried a 428, and was not even the first car to wear the name. Eleanor was assembled out of donor fastbacks, a crate small-block, and one designer’s imagination, and she is now worth more than most of the genuine Shelbys she was built to imitate. Here is what was actually under that hood, how many were built, and why the courts eventually got involved.
It looks like a rusted-out junkyard reject, but the “Rust Bucket” Camaro driven by Eric Yost is running a different motor than the last time 1320video caught up with it — and it’s about to prove that immediately. A record-setting roll race and a tense battle against a Nissan GT-R are just the start. What’s actually hiding under that beat-up wrap?
The 1968 Dodge Charger redefined what a Mopar muscle car could look like, but very few left the factory with this exact combination: a 426 Hemi, a four-speed manual, and a paint color believed — though never fully confirmed — to be unique to this single car. Featured as Episode #154 of V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series and restored with body and paint work commenters specifically praised, this Charger sits at the intersection of several kinds of rarity at once. Watch to see the details that make collectors call this Hemi car a genuine home run.
A black 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 HO convertible is the spark behind this question: what were you driving the first time you hit 120 mph? Pontiac’s 400 HO packed 335 horsepower and ran 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, quick enough to beat a 390 Mustang, a Camaro SS 396, and a 340 Barracuda in a 1968 Car and Driver test. Decades before traction control and ABS, that kind of speed took real nerve. Tell us your car, your engine, and the moment you found out what both were made of.
A 1970 Dodge Coronet convertible is already a rare find — Dodge dropped the body style after this model year — but this one raises the stakes with a 440 big block and a four-speed manual, a combination few original Coronet buyers chose. Nick’s Garage, known for real, unscripted diagnostic work rather than highlight-reel repairs, tears the engine down piece by piece to see exactly what decades under the hood have done to it. The channel’s slow, methodical approach has earned it viewers as far away as Indonesia. Watch to see what a genuine 440 teardown actually reveals.
