Dodge and Plymouth both chased the same NASCAR aero rulebook in 1969 and 1970, but they answered it in very different ways. The Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird share a wild winged silhouette, yet their noses, wings, and even their interiors were engineered by rival teams with different priorities. Production numbers, drag coefficients, and race results reveal which wing car actually had the edge.
A GameStop robbery, a Chevy Camaro, and a police pursuit through the streets of Houston, captured on raw footage that has been viewed nearly a hundred million times. There is a dark irony in a fugitive choosing one of America’s great performance cars as a getaway vehicle. This ABC13 clip captures the high-speed chase and the split-second decisions that made it go viral. Watch to see how the pursuit unfolds and why it still draws millions.
It feels harmless to park in front of a hydrant for just a minute, until a fire breaks out down the street. CNN’s Jeanne Moos explains, with her trademark wit, exactly what firefighters do when a car blocks their water supply, and it is not what most drivers assume. The answer involves both of your windows and a fire hose. Watch to see why that convenient spot can turn into the most expensive parking decision you ever make.
One take, fading light, and an orange big-block Hemi-Cuda with a driver ready to light up the rear tires. Laslo Antal’s short clip skips the full quarter-mile and goes straight for the raw wheelspin of Chrysler’s legendary 426 HEMI. Rated at a suspiciously modest 425 horsepower, this is one of the rarest muscle cars ever built, and here it’s actually being driven hard. See what that engine does when it finally breaks loose.
You pay for the advertised $19.99 oil change and drive off trusting the work got done. This CBC Marketplace hidden-camera investigation, viewed tens of millions of times, reveals what really happens once your car is on the hoist: aggressive upselling and services billed but never performed. The crew goes up on the lift to prove it. Watch to see why every car owner should know exactly what their vehicle needs.
It was the very first competitive pass for Daddy Dave’s new Goliath 2.0 Nova, on an unprepped surface, with a Mustang staged right alongside. No-prep racing offers no safety net, and this run proves it. One car makes it clean, and the other takes a spill past the stripe. See how the Street Outlaws star’s debut in the new build actually played out at Kansas International Dragway.
1955 was the year Pontiac finally let go of the straight-eight and gave the Star Chief its first V8, a 287-cubic-inch Strato Streak good for up to 180 horsepower. Positioned as Pontiac’s prestige model above the Chieftain, it came in five body styles, from a plain sedan to a Safari wagon to a full convertible, and drew more than 200,000 buyers that year alone. Here’s what made 1955 the turning point for Pontiac’s lineup.
Same supercharged HEMI, same 707 horsepower, same badge, different body: the Hellcat Charger and Challenger should be dead even at the strip. This compilation of stock-versus-stock passes proves the spec sheet doesn’t decide anything. Traction, weight transfer, and driver nerve settle it, and the results don’t always land where you’d expect. See which Mopar keeps coming out ahead when everything else is equal.
This black-and-white Ford Mustang diecast, still sealed in its display packaging, is exactly the kind of collectible that keeps scale-model hunters busy at swap meets and hobby shops long after the full-size car left showrooms. Packaging condition, limited production runs, and factory-correct liveries can matter as much to diecast collectors as horsepower does to muscle car buyers. Someone snapped this photo and left the punchline up to you. Here’s your chance to decide what this little Mustang is thinking.
Henry Ford once bought roughly 430,000 acres of Michigan timberland just to supply the hardwood for his station wagons, running his own sawmill to shape doors, dashboards, and headliners by hand. That wood-bodied construction disappeared by the early 1950s once steel proved cheaper and more durable, but the woodie’s story didn’t end there. A decade later, surfers turned aging wagons into rolling icons of the California coast, the same cars later name-checked in songs like the one that opens this post. Here’s how a grocery-hauler became a cultural symbol.
Joe Pieroni has owned this 1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe since 1989, and in all those years he says he has only ever seen one other like it. On My Car Story, Lou Costabile digs into the story of Chrysler’s overlooked flagship, its big 413 Wedge V8, and why the surviving Crown Coupes have quietly become some of the most interesting cars at any show. There is a reason this one is still on the road. Watch to find out what it is.
Hagerty’s 2017 Classic of the Year wasn’t the fastest or priciest car in the room — it was a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible with a story. Bought new by Richard Schmidt and driven with his wife Kitty, it sat in the dark for forty years before his children brought it back to life in memory of their late mother. It’s proof that some restorations are acts of love, not investment. Watch the story behind the win.
This B5 Blue 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T pairs the legendary 426 Hemi with a four-speed and Pistol Grip shifter — already a sliver of what Dodge built. Then comes the stunner: under 12,000 original miles and a factory option so obscure most experts have never seen one. Owner Tom Lembeck’s survivor has stayed untouched for five decades. Watch to see what makes this Hemi car so rare.
A fabricator named Greg tackles the rusted rear quarter of a 1967 Mustang coupe — the exact spot where these cars quietly rot themselves to death. It looks like simple bodywork, but the gap between ‘looks simple’ and ‘looks factory’ is where most restorations fall apart. This is the unglamorous metalwork that decides whether a classic lives or dies. Watch the craft behind a proper patch panel.
