This 1968 Dodge Charger restomod has drawn reactions in at least six languages since it went up, with viewers calling its blacked-out grille everything from menacing to vampiric. Underneath the coke-bottle body line sits a fully modernized chassis and an exhaust note tuned to sound as aggressive as the car looks. The build description calls it a fusion of vintage muscle and modern engineering. See the finished Charger in motion to judge for yourself.
Throttle House hosts Thomas and James put an 807-horsepower 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock through its paces on a closed test track, running the supercharged Hemi that Dodge certified at 10.5 seconds and 131 mph in the quarter-mile. Priced at $106,645 CAD, the Super Stock sits atop the Hellcat family as one of the most extreme factory-built muscle cars Dodge ever sold. The review doubles as a farewell note, arriving as the gas-powered Challenger’s production run was nearing its end. Comments below split between nostalgia for Dodge’s V8 commitment and complaints about the car’s brakes and traction struggling to match its power.
This 1967 Chevrolet C/10 Fleetside sits low, looks purposeful, and represents the very first year of the generation that turned the pickup into something worth driving for its own sake. GM’s Action Line redesign gave builders a coil-sprung chassis, clean slab sides, and a roomy cab that took to lowering and power swaps like nothing before it. But the 1967 order sheet holds a surprise that trips up plenty of buyers shopping a truck like this one. Read on to find out what it is.
Throttle House hosts Thomas and James test the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack, the gas-powered, twin-turbo six-cylinder version of Dodge’s new Charger platform making 550 horsepower for $54,995 USD. The review — bluntly titled ‘Welp’ — splits the hosts between cautious optimism and open disappointment. Commenters piled on over the car’s roughly 4,800-pound curb weight, heavier than a Toyota Highlander hybrid despite carrying no EV battery, and a plastic engine cover that misrepresents the inline-six’s cylinder layout. It’s a pointed look at whether Dodge’s post-Hemi Charger can actually deliver on the muscle car promise.
No wild body mods, no mirrors, factory door handles, and a bench seat: this 1968 Chevrolet C/10 from the SEMA Show wins by leaving things alone. Then you open the hood and find a supercharged LS3. It is the rare show truck built on restraint rather than flash, and that turns out to be the harder trick to pull off on a convention floor. Read on to see why builders kept stopping at this one.
Autotopia LA profiles Donnie and his 1969 Chevy Nova SS, a Butternut-and-pearl-white build hiding a 502 big block making roughly 700 horsepower behind a deliberately misleading ‘350’ fender badge. Built by Hood Muscle Cars, the Nova became a fan favorite for Donnie’s infectious on-camera energy as much as its raw power. Comments have since taken on a more emotional tone, with viewers sharing that Donnie has passed away and paying tribute to him and the wider Hood Muscle Car community. It’s a build video that has become something closer to a lasting tribute.
Filmed by ScottieDTV at the 2012 Grand Rod Run, this 1969 Chevy Nova SS 396 is built to be driven, not trailered — exactly the kind of street-driven muscle car whose lighter unibody let it punch above its class against heavier Chevelle and Camaro siblings. Commenters flooded the video with their own Nova ownership stories rather than critiquing the build, a sign of how deeply this compact sleeper is woven into everyday enthusiast memory. Watch to see why this owner’s pride in his Nova is so well earned.
Go Auto’s chapter-by-chapter walkaround of the 2026 Ford Mustang GT spends nearly twelve minutes covering everything from the trunk to the exhaust note, highlighting a digital ‘My Mustang Menu’ that lets owners customize their driving display. The review keeps the V8 engine as the car’s emotional centerpiece even as Ford adds more tech-driven personalization features. Commenters flagged smaller changes too, including a wireless charger removed for the 2025 model year and the continued absence of power-folding side mirrors. It’s a detailed look at how Ford balances muscle car identity with modern cabin expectations.
Redline Reviews puts the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse through its paces, framing it as ‘the last traditional muscle car standing’ thanks to its 5.0-liter V8 and dedicated handling upgrades over the standard GT. The roughly $82,000 as-tested price sparked heavy debate in the comments, with some calling it out of reach for typical Mustang buyers and others — including a two-month owner — insisting it’s worth every penny. Additional comments praised the channel’s exhaust-note audio quality while criticizing the touchscreen-based climate controls in place of physical buttons.
American Legends counts down ten of the rarest Pontiac GTOs ever built, from Ram-Air IV convertibles to low-production Post-Coupe variants, framing the GTO as the car that invented the muscle car formula. The comment section pushes back hard, with owners citing firsthand rarity details the video missed entirely, including a 1967 convertible built in a run of just 56 and disputes over what the Ram-Air package actually included mechanically. Other commenters argue the list overlooked genuinely rare variants like the 1965 Hurst Edition and the dealer-installed Royal Bobcat package.
Troy Kane, who posts new classic car videos every week at Vtwins to V8s, has spent years learning what actually kills a stored muscle car versus what just sounds like good advice. His ten-point winter storage checklist covers fuel stabilization, battery maintenance, tire protection, and rodent-proofing — the unglamorous work that decides whether your car fires up clean in spring or needs thousands in repairs. Comments on the video reveal just how many owners are already getting at least one of these steps wrong.
A 1970 Ford Torino Cobra finished in Vermillion with satin black accents gets the spotlight in V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series, powered by a factory-rated 375-horsepower 429 Super Cobra Jet V8. Owners in the comments dispute that number, with one claiming his SCJ Torino made closer to 540 horsepower once drag-pack options were factored in. Period magazine tests reportedly placed its quarter-mile times alongside a 435-horsepower Corvette, despite the Torino rarely getting the same collector respect today. One owner’s story about the car even ends with a deer strike on a Wyoming highway at 100 mph.
Only about 70 of the 503 Dodge Charger Daytonas built for 1969 left the factory with a 426 Hemi, and Tom Lembeck’s car pairs that rare engine with an even rarer factory color, F6 Spring Green Metallic. Built purely to win NASCAR’s aero wars, the Daytona’s 18-inch nosecone and towering wing still look radical decades later. Read on to find out why a paint code can matter almost as much as an engine code.
This 1970½ Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 pairs a race-bred LT-1 small-block — 360 horsepower from an 11:1 compression ratio, solid mechanical cam, and 780 CFM Holley carburetor — with just 22,000 original miles and its factory Hugger Orange paint. It was also the first Z/28 ever offered with an automatic transmission. Camaro fans still argue whether this generation or the original 1967-69 cars deserve the crown. This survivor makes a strong case.
Plymouth built the 1970 Superbird specifically to win Richard Petty back from Ford, and only 135 of the 1,920 cars built that year got the 426 Hemi under that towering nosecone. This particular car belongs to Mike Fitzgerald, who bought it in 1972 and still gets emotional describing its restoration. Read on to find out what it took to bring one of the rarest aero cars back to factory-original condition.
