A dealer in Greene, Iowa is selling a 1970 Chevelle SS with the one document every collector wants — its factory build sheet. The catch: the engine, transmission, and rear gearing under the hood today have nothing to do with what that sheet describes. Here’s what changed, and why one viewer isn’t sure the swap should have happened at all.
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias just showed off two 1988 Monte Carlo SS coupes on Jay Leno’s Garage, and one of them still has the factory plastic on its seats. Chevrolet built just 16,204 before retiring the G-body platform for good. Here’s why a 180-horsepower cruiser from 1988 still makes grown men weak in the knees.
At the 2026 NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, one Stock Eliminator racer sent the front wheels of a completely unmodified muscle car off the pavement — and NHRA’s own rulebook says it’s perfectly legal. Bobby Fazio’s coverage captures 35 minutes of staging lane interviews, in-car runs, and mid-track action from one of NHRA’s most historic stops, including a wagon several fans called the best-appearing car in the field. Watch to see why a factory suspension can throw a wheelie a wheelie-bar car would need a tech inspection for.
Only one 1969 Trans Am ever left Pontiac’s factory with a race-bred Ram Air V under its hood, built purely to test a car nobody planned to sell. From that single engineering mule to the 335-horsepower 455 HO of 1971 and the Super Duty that closed out the era in 1974, these are the rarest Trans Am engine programs collectors still track down decades later.
Ford built the third-generation “Bullet Bird” Thunderbird for only three model years, and 1963 was the last of them. Of the 63,313 built that year, just 5,913 were convertibles, powered by a 390 FE making 300 horsepower and 427 lb-ft and backed exclusively by an automatic. It was never intended to race anything, and that was entirely the point. Read on to find out what Ford was really building here.
Buick spent two decades disguising some of the fastest cars General Motors ever built as luxury sedans. The 1970 GSX Stage 1 hid a 510 lb-ft big block under a car built for church parking lots, and the 1987 turbocharged GNX blew past that year’s Corvette in the quarter-mile. Here’s how a brand nobody feared became one of muscle car history’s biggest sleepers.
A 1968 Chevy Nova has traded its small-block V8 for the turbocharged straight-six out of a Toyota Supra, and the numbers make the swap impossible to dismiss: over 860 wheel horsepower, more than double what any factory Nova SS ever produced. Here’s how a 2JZ ended up under a muscle car’s hood, and whether the swap actually holds up as a daily-drivable build.
At the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom in Scottsdale, Lou Costabile talks with Showroom Sales Associate Mike Hoye about a 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS finished in an uncommon Gulf Green paint over a 350 V8. 1972 marked one of the final years for the original SS badge before it disappeared from the Camaro lineup for a decade. See what makes this color and condition combination stand out.
A numbers-matching 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda with the rare 440 Six Barrel engine and a four-speed manual is about to cross the auction block in Las Vegas — one of only 108 Plymouth ever built with that exact combination. Its quad headlights and shark-gill fender vents mark it as a one-year-only design, and its drivetrain still carries the original numbers. Here’s what makes this ‘Cuda worth watching when the gavel drops.
This 1970 Ford Torino GT, nicknamed ‘All In,’ turned heads at a Corvette-only car show despite being built by a completely different brand. Ford’s designers reshaped the Torino that year around a ‘coke-bottle’ body and built only 56,819 GTs out of 230,411 total Torinos, with just 3,939 convertibles among them. The nameplate went on to win Motor Trend’s Car of the Year. Read on to find out what makes a mid-size Ford confident enough to crash someone else’s car show.
A 1972 Dodge Challenger arrived during the weakest years Detroit’s muscle cars ever saw, topping out at 240 factory horsepower with no Hemi in sight. Car Craft’s revived build series just swapped in Mopar’s 807-horsepower Hellcrate Redeye, the same crate engine Dodge sells over the counter. The bigger challenge wasn’t the engine itself, but getting a car never designed for fuel injection to survive it.
