Ford Thunderbird 1964 Convertible

Ford reinvented its personal-luxury flagship for 1964 with a bold, squared-off design and a cabin that felt like something out of a world’s fair — and buyers noticed, snapping up nearly 100,000 Thunderbirds that year alone. The convertible added a fully automatic power top borrowed from Lincoln, while a torquey 390-cubic-inch V8 handled the muscle underneath all that formal styling. A handful of ultra-rare special-order cars even packed a 427 V8, though most buyers stuck with the accessible 390. It remains one of the best sales years the Thunderbird nameplate ever had.

Plymouth Road Runner 1970 383 in Lemon Twist Yellow

by Kiril

Owners Brian and Pat Kelly restored this 1970 Road Runner from a rattle-can respray back to its factory Lemon Twist Yellow, chasing a feeling Brian remembers from high school. The 383 under the hood was Plymouth answer to buyers who wanted real muscle without Hemi pricing. Here is what the numbers behind that engine, and the Hurst shifter bolted to it, actually delivered.

1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 Convertible Classic

by Kiril

This 1957 Ford Thunderbird represents the final year of Ford’s original two-seat design before the four-seat Squarebird took over — and this example, toured at Garrett Classics in Texas, wears nearly every desirable factory option Ford offered that year: the 312 V8, power brakes, power steering, power windows, and rare factory air conditioning. Finished in Raven Black over red with its signature porthole hardtop, it’s a strong argument for why the last two-seat Bird still commands serious money today.

by Jack Harmon

Dodge Threw Out Its Own Order Sheet for One Challenger Trim — Then Gave It 807 Horsepower

by Jack Harmon

For the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak, Dodge scrapped its usual color-and-trim restrictions and let buyers build almost any combination they wanted — on top of an 807-horsepower supercharged HEMI. Here is what made the last of Dodge’s rule-breaking Challengers such a standout, and why it is already one of the more collectible late-era Hellcats.

The Barracuda Beat the Mustang to Showrooms by 16 Days — Ten Years Later, Chrysler Killed It Anyway

by Jack Harmon

by Jack Harmon

Richard Hammond spent a day daily-driving DriveTribe’s 707-horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat, and by the end, the car built for chaos had quietly won him over. Here’s what the specs, the sound, and his own reaction reveal about America’s most unhinged family sedan.

Chevrolet Corvette 1972 Stingray – 350CUI

by Kiril

1972 was the last year Chevrolet built a Corvette with full chrome front and rear bumpers, and the last year for the high-performance LT1 small-block and its ZR1 racing package. It’s also the year Chevrolet switched from gross to net horsepower ratings, making a 350 or 454 Corvette’s numbers look smaller on paper even though nothing mechanical had really changed. Nearly 20,500 Sports Coupes sold that year, proof the C3 was still going strong right before its biggest transition.

The 1969 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV Convertible: The Four-Speed Combo Almost No One Ordered

by Jack Harmon

A 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible built with the factory Ram Air IV and a four-speed manual is one of the rarest driveline combinations Pontiac ever offered — quicker than nearly any GTO on the road and scarcer than most Judges. This Champagne-over-black example shows why collectors chase the plain-looking GTOs just as hard as the flashy ones.

Ford Killed the Shelby GT500 Twice — The Comeback That Made It the Most Powerful Mustang Ever Built

Plymouth Satellite 1965 426 Wedge Convertible

by Kiril

Everyone talks about the Hemi, but Plymouth’s Street Wedge quietly did the dirty work a full year earlier.

Curious how rare this Mopar actually is compared to its more famous siblings?

A 1969 Pontiac Firebird Sat Dead for Years — When It Finally Fired, a Dust Storm Blew Out the Exhaust

by Jack Harmon

This 1969 Pontiac Firebird sat forgotten for years, its factory 400 engine buried under rat nests and grime, until the Turnin Rust crew finally got it running — and the exhaust blew out a literal dust storm in the process. Built originally for strip use, the car earned its Dirty Bird nickname on the spot. Watch to see what years of neglect actually did to a genuine factory big-block Firebird, and how much of it is still worth saving.

Don Yenko Hid a 360-Horsepower Street Fighter Inside a ‘Boring’ Chevy Nova – Insurance Companies Never Caught On

by Jack Harmon

Don Yenko built the Deuce Nova to solve a problem insurance companies created — premiums on obvious muscle cars had gotten so steep that he hid a 360-horsepower LT1 engine inside Chevrolet’s most unassuming compact instead. This sunflower-yellow survivor is the third Yenko Deuce Nova MuscleCarOfTheWeek has featured, following an orange car and a Brothers Collection example.
