Chris Duke closes out his five-part Chevy 350 rebuild series with Motorz’s Finale episode, capping a build that started with Tear Down and worked through Machine Shop, Bottom End, and Top End. Viewers praise his careful technique but are still asking, years later, for the dyno numbers and start-up sound this episode never shows. One 15-year-old fan says the series alone taught him how a small block actually goes together. Watch to see how a nearly year-long rebuild gets buttoned up.
A factory-built 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst Convertible with no sibling cars anywhere in the world sits at the center of this one – and according to one commenter, it may have once served as Hurst’s own display car for glamour mascot Linda Vaughn. Owner Trev Dellinger shares the full story at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. Watch to hear exactly what makes this Chrysler one of one.
Only 2,399 Dodge Challenger T/As were built for a single model year, and this one is one of just 1,410 finished with an automatic transmission and roughly 50 wearing its triple-black paint scheme. V8TV breaks down exactly what made the T/A a street-legal homologation special rather than just another Challenger trim. Watch to see the numbers that make it genuinely rare.
This 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T hides its identity behind plain black paint and no visible badges, but underneath sits a standard 375-horsepower 440 Magnum and one of the rarest Hemi options in Mopar history. Only 7,200 R/Ts were built that year, and a mere 107 came with the 426 Hemi. Read on to find out what separates this understated B-body from its flashier Charger and Road Runner cousins.
Salomondrin’s Dodge Challenger Hellcat has a name, a personality, and enough history to fill an entire recurring video series – and this one breaks it down into six specific facts. Longtime viewers already know exactly who ‘Hellgato’ is; everyone else is about to find out. Watch to see what years of ownership actually reveal about a car.
Mikey No No’s naturally aspirated Chevy Nova takes on a heavily modified, all-wheel-drive Nissan Skyline in a grudge race that reignites an old argument between American V8 simplicity and Japanese turbocharged engineering. The comments split hard on which car actually sounds better crossing the line. Watch to hear which side wins you over.
The title says it plainly: One Bad Ass Comet. Behind it is a man named Bill, whose relationship with his Mercury Comet has commenters calling him an inspiration decades into his racing career, still driving the car to the track and back himself. Watch to see exactly what kind of driving earns that kind of respect.
Back in 1972, Duane’s sister-in-law drove a yellow Dodge Charger off a dealer lot in Alabama — and by 2000 had decided it was worth more parked on blocks in her garage than on the road. Never touched by snow, never sold, and still owned by its original buyer, the car has become a kind of retirement fund she can start the engine on. There’s also a detail in its build sheet that shouldn’t technically exist. Read on to find out what it is.
Twelve of the world’s best driver’s cars line up on an airstrip for MotorTrend’s sixth drag race showdown – and then an uninvited Dodge Charger Hellcat, parked nearby for entirely unrelated reasons, ends up joining the field anyway. The results surprise viewers more than the official lineup does. Watch to see which cars actually back up their reputations.
Mopar built some of its wagon-bodied cars to blend in on purpose, sharing a platform with some of the era’s most respected muscle car nameplates while wearing understated full-size trim. Spot the right grille and taillight details on this green wagon and the model year practically gives itself away. Read on to find out the year, make, and model, and how close your guess actually was.
In 1955 Chevrolet and Ford both launched a two-seat American convertible, and only one of them was seriously trying to build a sports car. The Thunderbird outsold the Corvette by better than twenty to one in the first year alone, which should have ended the argument permanently. Instead it saved the Corvette. Here is how the softer car won the showroom, why GM refused to read that as a defeat, and what happened to both nameplates afterward.
A ride in a numbers-matching 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 426 Hemi is rare enough on its own, but owner Tom Lembeck takes his out into real Chicago traffic rather than keeping it parked at a show. The car’s aero package once forced NASCAR itself to change its rules. Watch to see exactly why this particular Daytona earns its reputation.
A grudge match between Rody V and Danny D starts as a straightforward test of nerve and reaction time, then turns into the kind of footage its own uploader chose not to edit around. Viewers in the comments zero in on the moment things go wrong, and on how the local track’s emergency response handled it. It’s a video built around a lesson, not a trophy.
A clean red pickup on wide whitewalls can turn heads just as fast as any big-block coupe, and prices for well-restored classic trucks have been climbing as collectors chase the same nostalgia that’s long driven muscle car values. The debate over whether pickups deserve a seat at the muscle car table keeps getting louder. Read on to find out what separates a genuinely hot restoration from an average one.
Hagerty’s Redline Rebuild series opens with the engine that arguably needs no introduction: the Chevrolet small-block V8, in continuous production for sixty years and installed in everything from base Chevys to Corvettes, trucks, and boats. Filmed at Thirlby Automotive in Traverse City, Michigan, and compressed into a silent, sped-up teardown and rebuild, the episode has pulled in over ten million views without a single line of narration. Sponsored by RockAuto.com, it set the template for an entire series built on watching skilled hands do familiar work at an impossible pace. Watch to see sixty years of engineering come apart bolt by bolt.
