Adam Martin bought this primer-gray 1968 Chevrolet Camaro at sixteen with money he’d earned making pizzas, knowing little more about cars than how to check the oil. Decades later, the imperfections he built into it himself — a coat-hanger scar in the paint, a set of Hooker headers he hammered into shape by hand — are the parts he refuses to fix. Petrolicious follows how one car became Martin’s entire automotive education. Watch to hear the story behind every imperfection.
Regular Guy Garage is dropping a 347 stroker into a 1986 Mustang Notchback, and against the current of nearly every build video out there, he’s doing it with a carburetor instead of fuel injection. His reasoning — no sensors, no wiring harness, no computer to fight with — has resonated with viewers who own everything from Chargers to Firebirds to Camaros. Watch to hear the full case for going old-school.
priceman141’s rundown of six supposedly strange muscle car facts turned into an unplanned classification debate the moment it hit the comments, with viewers arguing that only the Plymouth Superbird actually qualifies as a muscle car among the cars featured. Whether or not the video gets the categories right, it surfaces a genuinely rare piece of Detroit history in the Ford Boss 429 along the way. Watch and decide which side of the muscle car versus pony car argument you land on.
Pop the hood on a Chevelle wearing SS 396 badges and there’s a good chance it isn’t actually a 396 anymore. What started as a limited 1965 option built around a Corvette-derived big-block grew into one of muscle car history’s most recognizable names — one Chevrolet kept using even after the engine underneath it grew to 402 cubic inches. Read on to find out how a badge became more valuable than the number it was supposed to represent.
Ron Hoeft bought this 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Super Sport new, let it go at some point over the following decades, and then — against long odds — tracked it down and bought the exact same car back. Host Lou Costabile sits down with Ron at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals to hear the full story behind the big-block 427, the rare factory vinyl top, and a reunion most owners never get.
A 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible offered buyers a full menu of engines from a modest six-cylinder up to a 335-horsepower V8. A 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda offered exactly one engine and only seven surviving convertibles. See how two completely different factory philosophies now translate into wildly different price tags at auction, ranging into the millions for the rarer of the two.
After 122 episodes of Muscle Car Of The Week, V8TV pulled the actual play-count data to rank which individual cars fans watched the most. Two Ford Boss Mustangs claim the top spots, with a Hemi Superbird, a Mr. Norm’s Challenger, and a Dodge Daytona rounding out the list. The hosts even challenge viewers to guess what’s conspicuously missing from the countdown.
With more than 5.6 million views and not a word of description to explain it, this viral clip has traveled far beyond the usual muscle-car crowd. There’s no famous car and no big-name channel here — just a few seconds that people can’t seem to stop replaying and arguing about. The Russian title hints, cryptically, that money is somehow involved. Watch and decide for yourself what all the fuss is about.
An 1100-horsepower AWD Nissan GT-R should win this fight before it even starts — thats the whole point of all-wheel drive at a standing start. But this Nth Moto-built Dodge Viper, running an estimated 1700 horsepower through an old-school H-pattern manual and nothing but 18-inch street tires, had other plans during a night of TX2K18 street racing. The 50-to-180-mph numbers alone are worth the watch. See how a rear-wheel-drive holdout took down the AWD favorites.
The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 as a two-door-only muscle car with V8 power and a distinctive rotating-headlight grille, a formula it kept until the nameplate went dormant in the late 1970s. When Dodge revived it in 2006, the Charger came back as a four-door sedan, a shift that still splits opinion among Mopar loyalists decades later.
A 1968 Shelby GT500KR in Acapulco Blue sits inside a Phoenix restoration shop with its original body and interior intact, but its 428 Cobra Jet engine has a story of its own — the factory motor was destroyed drag racing decades ago. Owner Tony Arme of American Legends Hot Rods is bringing it back to 1968 condition piece by piece. Find out why collectors still call this one of the most significant KR builds on the shop floor.
This orange C10 popped its hood at a car show, and it’s easy to see why it drew a crowd — 1972 was the final year of Chevrolet’s second-generation C/K design before a full redesign arrived in 1973. Engine options ranged from a humble inline-six all the way up to the 402 big-block, rated around 210 horsepower under the SAE net standard GM adopted for 1972. Values for clean, original examples have climbed steadily as the classic truck market has matured. Here’s what made the last year of the “Action Line” trucks worth holding onto.
Long before anyone treated it as historically significant, this was just a used Chevrolet Camaro passing between owners. Marque historians eventually traced its chassis back far enough to confirm what it actually was: the first Camaro Chevrolet ever built, GM’s answer to the Ford Mustang. It’s now preserved as entry No. 15 on the National Historic Vehicle Register, permanently archived at the Library of Congress. Watch to see how a first-year pony car earned a place among America’s most historically significant vehicles.
A $239,400 McLaren MP4-12C and its 616 horsepower twin-turbo V8 take on a stock, all-original 1970 Chevelle SS 396 that once sold for around $3,200. The video calls it a joke comparison, but the Chevelle runs a genuinely respectable 13.7 seconds and the comments turned it into something more interesting than a punchline. One viewer did the math: the McLaren has already lost well over half its sticker price while the Chevelle is worth many times what it cost new. Watch the run, then read why almost nobody in the comments picked the McLaren.
