Creator Sick McVick films an entire burnout tutorial from the passenger seat, breaking down exactly how to smoke the tires in a 1970s automatic muscle car — a technique manual-only guides never cover. The car itself has drawn comparisons to the black Nova from Tarantino’s Death Proof, with multiple commenters independently spotting the resemblance. Beyond the driving lesson, the video’s loose, high-energy style has viewers comparing the host to a mashup of two well-known comedic actors. The result is equal parts instructional content and pure car-culture entertainment.
American Motors never had Detroit’s budget, but for a few years in the late 1960s and early 1970s, its Javelin and two-seat AMX spinoff went toe-to-toe with the Mustang and Camaro on both the street and the Trans-Am track — with Roger Penske and Mark Donohue behind the wheel of a purpose-built 5.0-liter version. Watch to see why this overlooked underdog still deserves a second look.
Richard Boehl has owned his 1971 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack — part of a production run of just 178 cars — since 1986, and he’s collected plenty of speeding tickets along the way. Filmed at Carlisle Events for My Car Story with Lou Costabile, this Concours-caliber Charger runs a triple-carburetor big block that sounds nothing like a standard four-barrel setup. Watch to hear it, and hear Boehl’s stories, for yourself.
Chevrolet has only ever used the LT5 badge on two Corvette engines – one hand-assembled by a boat-motor company in Oklahoma, the other a supercharged monster built nearly 30 years later. The first set FIA world records within weeks of hitting showrooms; the second made 350 more horsepower. Here’s why GM recycled the name instead of starting fresh.
Buick built the 1965 Riviera as a luxury coupe, then quietly optioned in a 360-horsepower 425 V8 for buyers who wanted it both ways. Fewer than 3,500 people checked that box, making the Gran Sport one of the rarest true muscle cars of the era. Decades later, Bill Burr got behind the wheel with Jay Leno – and left convinced it might be the meanest car he’s ever driven.
This two-owner 1968 Ford Torino GT carries a documented 390 four-barrel rated at 335 horsepower, backed by window stickers, the original invoice, and a title copy tracing it to day one. Ford built the Torino to go head-to-head with the Chevelle SS and GTO, and this survivor still wears the paper trail to prove it earned its place. Read on to find out what period testers clocked at the drag strip.
You’ve found a 1969 Dodge Super Bee for sale, and it looks like the deal of a lifetime. That hockey-stick stripe, the buzzing bee decal on the tail, maybe even a 383 Magnum rumbling under the hood – this is a genuine B-body muscle car, still priced well under its Charger and Road Runner siblings. But look closer before you commit. NHTSA has a documented rear-axle recall tied to these cars that most sellers have never heard of, let alone addressed, and the same rust-prone unibody construction that ended so many Mopars of this era in a salvage yard is still doing damage decades later. One owner’s Super Bee needed a full family restoration – years of work, a torn-down body, and a rebuild from the ground up – just to get back to factory-correct condition. Before you hand over a deposit on your own Bee, here’s what that restoration story, and the government’s own recall records, say you need to check first.
Carroll Shelby’s Cobra started as an opportunistic phone call to a small British manufacturer about to lose its engine supplier, and it ended as one of the most feared shapes in racing. This 1964 289 roadster changed colors partway through its restoration, which is an appropriate twist for a car whose entire history is built on improvisation. The 289 cars are lighter, sharper and more usable than the big-block monsters that followed. Read on for why the small block Cobras have their own devoted following.
Calling a 1962 Chevrolet Impala two-door hardtop sweet barely scratches what that model year actually meant for Chevrolet. A $53.80 trim option that had existed for barely a year was about to become one of the most influential ideas in the company’s history, and at the top of the engine range sat a 409 that made buyers give up their automatic transmission to get it. Read on to find out how the Super Sport took over and how close this hardtop came to the fastest option on the lot.
A rare 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1 — one of only about 400 ever built — just resurfaced after years hidden away, its wheels rusted solid and its Saturn Yellow paint buried under dust. The Stage 1’s 455 V8 once held a 33-year American torque record, and the man who rescued it is now working to prove this is the real thing, part number by part number. Here’s the story behind one of Buick’s rarest muscle cars finally seeing daylight again.
Ford’s Mustang Dark Horse carries a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 into a segment everyone else has turbocharged or walked away from. A well-known YouTube reviewer lined it up against Dodge’s radically different new Charger and picked a winner. Here’s the case for the V8, spec for spec, against 550 horsepower of twin-turbo inline-six.
