This 1969 Nova SS left the factory with a 375-horsepower 396 and spent 24 years drag racing across two owners before a pawned-for-a-wedding detour, a full restoration, and a trade for a Harley-Davidson brought it to its current owner, Bob Cole of Odessa, Washington. What followed was a methodical effort to verify and correct every detail back toward period-correct spec. Read on to find out what the teardown revealed.

This unrestored 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has covered under 8,000 original miles and stayed with the Leszczynski family since 1998. Finished in the uncommon Deep Water Blue and carrying matching numbers, it’s the kind of survivor collectors specifically hunt for rather than stumble across. Watch the full walkaround to see why this one rarely makes it to market.

The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 paired aggressive styling with the legendary 428 Cobra Jet or Super Cobra Jet V8, undercutting rival big-block muscle cars on price while matching or beating their performance. It remains one of the more underrated variants in the first-generation Mustang lineup. Watch to see exactly what made this combination such a giant-killer in 1969.

Regular Car Reviews asks Mustang owners at a car show one simple question: why is your Mustang the best Mustang? The answers range from a bowl of oranges balanced on an intake to an actual P-51 fighter plane crashing the party, with a scene-stealing Thunderbird cameo along the way. Watch to see which answer the comments still can’t stop quoting.

Two father-and-son 1957 Chevys, twin-turbocharged and pushing over 6,000 combined horsepower, went head to head across all five brutal days of Drag Week 2014. The newer, lighter build known as ‘The Evil Twin’ edged out its heavier stablemate ‘The Beast’ despite similar power. Watch to see exactly how much an 800-pound difference mattered.

A multi-part build series following a Chrysler 426 Hemi from bare block to running engine turned its comment section into a genuine history debate, with viewers tracing the Hemi’s roots back through the 1956 Chrysler 300B and, according to one claim, all the way to a WWII-era aircraft engine. Between the technical assembly detail and the borderline-religious reverence in the comments, this build says as much about Hemi mythology as the engine itself. Watch the full build.

A meme comparing how fast a sports car burns through tires versus a truck has circulated muscle car forums for years, and it’s funny because it’s mostly true. The real explanation involves more than just horsepower on a spec sheet. Read on to find out what’s actually happening at the tire’s contact patch.

A single indoor photo of this 1939 Oldsmobile convertible has ignited a hot-or-not debate, but the real question is which engine and trim level actually sit beneath that chrome grille. Oldsmobile split its 1939 lineup between two very different engines, and the difference matters more than most voters realize. Read on to find out which one this is.

Shelby never officially built a 1967 GT500 convertible — except, according to owner and Shelby historian Brian Styles, this one. Backed by his own research group dedicated to documenting that exact model year, Styles walks through the paper trail behind a car that reportedly sold for $775,000 at auction, stunning a room that expected far less. Watch to see the evidence for one of the more compelling ownership stories in Shelby history.

This white Mercury Cougar could be a modest six-cylinder cruiser or one of the scarcest big-block muscle cars Mercury ever built, and the only way to tell is a small badge easy to miss. Only a fraction of 1969 Eliminators carried the largest engine Mercury offered that year. Read on to find out just how rare this one really is.

The Shaker hood scoop on this Dodge Challenger looks like pure nostalgia, but it is a functional intake mounted directly to a 375-horsepower HEMI, engineered to feed cooler air while visibly shaking independently of the hood around it. Owners in the comments detail everything from built engines to weatherproofing myths to exactly what the factory Shaker package included. Watch to see the feature — and the questions it still generates — explained in full.

A 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda convertible surfaced after roughly thirty-five years in storage, and its VIN tells a story most barn finds cannot back up: it is one of only 17 factory 440-6 Barrel convertibles Plymouth ever built. Viewers immediately started arguing over what a car this rare is actually worth, with estimates ranging from six figures unrestored to well over a million dollars fully restored. Watch to see the car — and the debate — for yourself.

A shop left a car raised on a two-post lift overnight because of incoming bad weather, and by morning it had crashed to the ground — footage that has since racked up more than 1.6 million views. Nobody was hurt, but the incident is a real reminder of how a routine service visit can turn into a five-figure nightmare for owners of collector and muscle cars specifically. Watch to see exactly what went wrong.

A Dodge Challenger Scat Pack and a Ford Mustang GT 5.0 line up for one more round in a rivalry that has never really ended, this time with nothing but a phone camera and a single blunt verdict in the comments to show for it. The Scat Pack brings 485 horsepower and a 6.4-liter HEMI; the 5.0 brings a 500-pound weight advantage. Watch to see which one actually mattered more this time.

Plymouth built only 635 ‘Cuda convertibles for the entire 1970 model year, and a rare handful carried an engine option that turns this ragtop from a nice classic into a seven-figure collectible. The color hiding under the folded top tends to split Mopar fans right down the middle. What’s actually bolted between the fenders changes the story completely. Read on to find out why.
