The Ford Falcon 2014 GT, an Aussie legend, continues its journey with a turbocharged XR6 leading the pack. This beastly sedan, quicker than a kangaroo on espresso, boasts a 4-liter V6 engine with 361 hp. While the highway patrol might miss the discontinued V8 interceptor, the XR6 zips from 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, leaving even some European rivals eating its dust. Inside, it offers leather seats and ample legroom, ensuring comfort whether you’re dodging emus or cruising to a barbecue.
Buried in the largely forgotten 1979 film ‘Border Cop’ is a car chase between a 1972 Chrysler New Yorker and a 1966 Ford Ranchero — with a 1959 Dodge Mayfair thrown in for good measure. Car Chase Wonderland 2 specializes in digging up exactly this kind of footage: chase scenes from movies nobody talks about anymore, featuring cars nobody expected to see chasing each other. It’s a strange trio of classic iron captured decades before dashcams existed. Watch to see how it plays out.
This 1967 Shelby Cobra isn’t the side-piped, roll-barred monster most people picture when they hear the name — it’s an all-original Street Car version, nicknamed the Gentleman’s Cobra by enthusiasts, running Ford’s smoother 428 big block instead of the high-strung 427 side-oiler. V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series digs into exactly why buyers chose this version over the race-bred alternative, and why surviving examples like this one are rarer than people assume. Watch to see what sets it apart.
Before Mustangs and Chargers, there was the Oldsmobile Rocket 88, the world’s first muscle car. Born in 1949, this speedster sported a Rocket V8 engine in a compact body, making it NASCAR’s darling. Its fame sparked a hit song and the catchy slogan, ‘Make a date with a Rocket 88.’ With a quirky dual ignition and options for both automatic and manual transmissions, it was the car to beat. By 1950, it became Oldsmobile’s star, racing into the hearts of speed lovers everywhere.
“Rebel Muscle” uncovers the saga of the AMC Rebel, the car that went from a one-year V8 wonder in 1957 to a mid-sized muscle contender by 1967. With a wheelbase stretching like a yoga master and a V8 growl that could wake the neighbors, the Rebel transformed into a stylish family ride with muscle car flair. By ’68, it ditched its Rambler roots, gained safety features, and even tried its luck on the race track. It’s the economy-minded muscle car that proves rebels can be practical too!
Ford expected the new Mustang to sell 100,000 units in its first year — buyers blew past that mark in under three months. This gallery traces the first-generation Mustang from its record-breaking 1964 debut through the Boss 302 era, with a surprising twist: the launch year wasn’t even the Mustang’s best-selling one. See which model year actually topped the charts.
The 1969 Plymouth B-body lineup packed four distinct personalities — Belvedere, Satellite, Road Runner, and GTX — onto a single shared platform, and mixing them up is easier than most Mopar fans want to admit. SuperBeeRegistry breaks down exactly what separates a budget Satellite from a numbers-matching GTX, badge by badge and engine option by engine option. It’s the kind of detail that turns a car show guess into a confident answer. Watch to see if you’ve been misidentifying one all along.
The Ford Fairlane Ranchero, produced from 1957 to 1959, was an innovative blend of sedan and pickup, perfect for taking kids to school and pigs to market. This versatile ride looked great and handled like a car but had the storage of a pickup. It was light enough to become a muscle car and had a larger weight capacity than the F-100. Ford’s international subsidiaries also embraced the Ranchero concept, with Argentina and Australia producing their own versions. In ’59, it boasted a longer bed and bigger windshield.
A 1969 428 Cobra Jet Mustang GT coupe — one of just 243 built — lines up against a 1968 Ram Air 400 Firebird for a genuinely rare head-to-head quarter mile. Road Test TV keeps both cars matched on transmission and rear-end gearing, letting the run settle a decades-old argument between Ford and Pontiac fans. The result says as much about factory engineering philosophy as it does about raw horsepower.
Vehicle number N100001 rolled off the line in May 1966, months before the 1967 Camaro officially existed in dealerships — making it a rare surviving piece of Chevrolet pre-production process. Reposted from creator Drew Money with full credit given, this footage has become one of the most-circulated pieces of early Camaro history online. It is about as close as the nameplate gets to a birth certificate.
A commercial for this exact feature aired once during Super Bowl IV before GM own management pulled it from rotation. BRENZ inc. walkaround of this 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge digs into the Vacuum Operated Exhaust option, the Round-Port Ram Air engines available that year, and includes bonus footage the host shot as a teenager. It is a deeper look at Judge history than most reviews bother to cover.
Only eleven 1971 Plymouth Cuda convertibles left the factory with a 426 Hemi under the hood, and this yellow-and-white example from The Brothers Collection is one of them. V8TV Muscle Car of the Week walks through why pairing a street-fighting Hemi with a drop-top body should not work on paper, yet somehow does. It is a rare look at one of Mopar smallest production numbers in the metal.
