ScottieDTV caught this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro backing out of Greening Auto Company’s shop, and the sound alone explains why the clip outlasted the full feature it was teasing. Under the hood sits a build pushing roughly 850 horsepower, numbers that turn a stock second-gen Camaro into something closer to a street-legal race car. The full story behind the build was only a week away when this was filmed. Turn your volume up and see what all the noise is about.
1966 marked the final year of the original Mustang fastback body style before Ford’s bigger 1967 redesign changed the car for good. This Springtime Yellow GT, with its black stripes and black interior, wears that shape about as well as any Mustang from the era. Here’s the story behind the last call for one of the most iconic silhouettes in American car history.
A crippling 174-day strike at GM’s Norwood plant made the 1972 Trans Am one of the lowest-production years in the model’s history, and only 458 of the 1,286 built that year came with a 4-speed manual. This Cameo White example is one of them, running the 455 H.O. that carried the Trans Am through a genuinely wild year for Pontiac. Here’s the story behind one of the most overlooked rare Trans Ams out there.
Buick never called the Invicta a muscle car, but a 325-horsepower 401 Nailhead V8 under a “respectable” full-size body earned it the nickname “the banker’s hot rod” anyway. This 1960 convertible still wears its original engine, a rare survivor of one of the more understated performance stories in American car history. Here’s why this Buick deserves way more credit than it usually gets.
Buick built north of 33,000 Rivieras in 1971, but only 3,175 wore the Gran Sport package that added a 455 V8, heavy-duty suspension, and real performance hardware under that polarizing boattail body. Add a rarely-ordered option like factory cornering lights, and you land on a car that’s uncommon within an already uncommon build. It’s proof that the interesting story on a boattail Riviera often lives in the option boxes, not just the sheet metal.
This 1969 Mustang Mach 1 wears one of Ford rarest late-1960s colors, a High-Impact blue that turned pony cars into rolling statements. Behind the paint is a labor-of-love build, kept show-ready by owners who treat every detailing session like it matters. Find out what made the Mach 1 Ford answer to the pony car wars, and why this shade of blue still stops people in their tracks.
A 454 big block wasn’t exactly standard equipment in a 1972 Chevy C10 half-ton — which is what makes a short-bed example running one such a fun find. This truck represents the last model year of Chevy’s second-generation C/K design before a full redesign took over, and it’s wearing a whole lot more muscle than it ever did from the factory. Here’s why these unassuming work trucks make some of the best hot rod builds around.
This isn’t your average ’68 Camaro. It’s the ‘Impulse,’ a bespoke restomod built by Bonnell’s Rod Shop that’s made multiple appearances on the SEMA show floor. Every panel and detail was chased down to make the car look as fast parked as it is on the road. Built to head to auction through Mecum, it’s the kind of build that turns heads even in a room full of Camaros.
1959 was the year Pontiac reinvented itself, debuting the Wide-Track stance, the split grille, and a genuinely potent 389 V8 all in the same model year — and taking home Motor Trend’s Car of the Year for it. This black Bonneville wears that transformation beautifully, every line of the redesign sharpened by the deep paint. Here’s the story behind the year Pontiac decided to stop playing it safe.
Chevy never built the 1972 C10 to be a performance truck, but drop 400 horsepower under that long hood and you’ve got a genuine sleeper that can embarrass plenty of period muscle cars. This short-bed Fleetside represents the final year of Chevy’s second-generation C/K design, now wearing a whole lot more attitude than it ever left the factory with. Here’s why these unassuming work trucks have become such a beloved hot rod platform.
This 1967 Chevy Impala SS in Elkhart Blue hides one of the rarest factory options Chevrolet ever offered on a full-size car: a genuine 427-cubic-inch big block. Owner David Fritzsche has kept it since 2007, and by every account, the sound alone stops conversations at a show. Spotted at a Cars & Cops event in Chicago, this Impala proves full-size factory muscle deserves more credit than it usually gets. Watch to hear it run.
At Summernats 30, the blower-topped Killa B Camaro hit the burnout pad ready to fight for the world championship title, laying down tire smoke thick enough to fill the frame. AZN from Street Outlaws jumped in the passenger seat to experience Australian burnout culture firsthand. 1320Video captured the entire high-horsepower spectacle from the ground. Watch to see what a burnout world championship run actually looks like.
After building one show-stopping Camaro for themselves, Greening Auto Company got the chance to do it all again — this time for a customer who saw the original and had to have his own. The result is an 800-horsepower, supercharger-topped LS7 street machine wrapped in a black paint job deep enough to get lost in. ScottieDTV walks through the build’s subtle mods and serious power. Watch to see what a second chance to build it right actually looks like.
This 1985 El Camino wears the Cowboy Cadillac nickname proudly, running a Goodwrench 350 crate engine and original bench seating. What most owners do not realize is that by this point in the fifth generation, these were being built south of the border in Mexico. Here is the strange, stop-start history behind Chevrolet’s most divisive nameplate.
