Nostalgia Drags 2026 filled Meremere Dragway with straight-axle Gassers, Wild Bunch doorslammers, and a nitro Funny Car throwing demo burnouts — a scene mainstream drag racing left behind in the 1970s. Here’s the real story behind the raised-nose look, and why this corner of New Zealand refuses to let it go.
At a July 2026 classic car auction in Greensboro, North Carolina, a Cross-Fire Injection Camaro Z28 and a modular-V8 Mustang GT both crossed the block for less than $15,000. Two Corvettes joined them in the same price range. Here’s what that says about where affordable muscle car ownership really stands right now.
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.
Compare a 1972 Corvette’s spec sheet to a 1971 model and the horsepower numbers look like they took a hit overnight, but nothing changed under the hood. Chevrolet switched from gross to net horsepower ratings that year, the same year the Corvette wore its last full chrome bumpers before federal rules forced a redesign. Read on to see what the base 350, the LT1, and the 454 big-block actually delivered.
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.
Everybody remembers the Hemi. Almost nobody remembers that Plymouth’s first real street brawler wore a wedge-head 426 instead, a full year before the street Hemi even existed, and this ragtop is one of the rarest ways you could have ordered one. Read on to find out how a car with almost no advertising still out-muscled half the flashier iron of its era.
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 400-powered Firebird, and how much of it is still worth saving.
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. Watch to see how a car built to be ignored became one of the most sought-after Novas ever made.
Donut Media spent sixty years of Mustang-versus-Camaro history breaking it down decade by decade, scoring heritage, performance, and availability rather than just horsepower numbers. The comparisons range from the expected — Shelby’s GT500 against the Camaro ZL1 1LE — to matchups most fans have never considered, like the IROC-Z against Ford’s police-spec Mustang SSP. Host Joey Rassool promised to stay unbiased. The comments section has thoughts about how that went.
After sitting for twenty-five years, this 1967 Pontiac Firebird’s TH350 transmission wouldn’t move the car at all — not forward, not backward. Arrowhead Garage walks through the exact diagnostic process, from checking fluid at operating temperature to the often-overlooked torque converter drain-down that happens during long-term storage. It’s a temporary fix with a full rebuild still ahead, but it’s also a detailed lesson in exactly what stored transmissions do to themselves over time.
Filmed while the third-generation Trans Am was still brand new, this MotorWeek retro review evaluates the third-generation Trans Am completely on its own merits — new styling, real road performance, and an engine that didn’t quite live up to its own marketing. Watch the car exactly as period reviewers judged it, before it became KITT.
